Damn, celebrating 4 year membership of this community! Time flies when you're having a ball (or two).
Could this be the right time to open a few threads in the Meta, Beginners and Reputation boards to teach people a few valuable lessons about my experience on the forum, and receive a million billion trillion Merits?
Fugg no.
You're honestly the kind of member who deserves to rank up and I'm not just saying that because of the hat. You're not even wearing a signature. So take my merits, now you're only 300 away from Legendary.
Thx for those Merits, guys - which was absolutely not the intention of my post: I haven't been in any sig campaign for a long time now, so if you've sent them purely as a token of real merit, I appreciate them all the more.
Since posting ^ I can't seem to resist reminiscing about these last years though, especially when I realized I've spent a major part of my spare time in this community.
The nutildah-III transfer is one of those numerous memorable moments from the last 4 years. Originally meant as a joke but (and maybe therefore) still worn with pride.
You do know that I still consider this to be the first NFT transfer ever on this forum, and I think it's about time we had a talk with the Guinness book of world records....
Another memory that pops into my mind spontaneously are the panic and controversy during the implication of the Merit system, at the end of 2017/beginning of 2018. Quite funny to look back at it now.
Watching several people on this forum (especially in this WO thread) realize their dreams thanks to their strong beliefs and support for BTC (some of you for almost a decade) has been a true and sincere heart-warming experience and I could feel and enjoy their excitement as well, even though we don't even know each other at all IRL.
Hodling has been my credo for a very long time now, too, although the peaks have sometimes made it a major challenge to resist the call of a quick selling... Professional obligations don't leave me time enough to really dive into analysis and trading, so the few times I tried to trade (with very modest amounts), have been highly stressful (and highly unsuccessful) experiences...
"Why would you sell if you don't need the money" was therefore a statement coming from this WO community, that was as simple as it was eye-opening. If I'm not mistaken, I haven't moved a single sat since.
Minor frustration: not being able to find a successful way of keeping the Dutch boards viable, in spite of several efforts and sincere attempts.
So there you have it. I wrote my life story after all. Shame on me. #homo
