Bitcoin Forum

So I finally made it officially to Full Member, according to this post here, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5290648.msg55621201#msg55621201) I should have become a Full Member last January 22, unfortunately it didn't happen as I have to wait Feb 10 to official reach that rank. Nevertheless, the wait is over, my account is old, just login from time to time to see what's going on and read a lot. Seen the 2017's bull run and the subsequent fall. Decided to become active at the end of 2020 because I don't want to miss the next great run of bitcoin and of course share and learn more from bitcointalk.

So I would like to thank everyone you gave me their precious merit to be able to rank up to this level.

So it's not really hard to rank up, of course it may take time, and you have to spend some time as well researching and reading a lot and share your knowledge as well. But if you really wanted to grow individually then it will be fun being part of this community.

You control your posts, what you post and you can control to rank up. You deserved it from what I see with the list of topics in OP and your post history.

I used to step the same as you do now so I do understand your happy feeling when you rank up to the rank that allows you to wear avatar. First time makes me remembered it a lot. The next rank is Senior Member that will allows you to have bigger signature space and sure it deserve your time to rank up again. You will get it in this year with your ability to attract merit.

Congratulations Dave1, you are deserve for that rank. I'm still remember both of us were busting few bustabit's phising site  ;D

Don't take out your hard work from what you have done for yourself Dave to be a full member, it's not easy or simple to do, and if any -Newbie- don't work hard to emulate you Dave or other people that rank up then they may not rank up themselves, congratulation on the full member rank, but your periscope should go higher and further, you can be a senior member.

Well done on the rank up Dave1, onwards and upwards as they say!

You have created some very helpful warning threads so I guess if
you keep up your activity levels you can rank up again as you gain merit.

Ranking up can take time but its not the most important part of forum
membership, getting involved, maybe connecting with others and learning
are also big factors to being here.

Well done

Impressive stats and post btw. Congratulations on your rank up, I'm pretty sure you are gonna pass on your next rank not so long. Continue sharing ideas and quality topics and in no time you can even be on Hero to Legendary rank. Just don't mind the merits, be consistent on what you do and it will follow.

Congrats again OP. Well done!

Congratulations Dave1.
I know you have exposed a lot of fake websites here, and warned the newcomers about all this. That's why you have got this rank easily. And I think you'll soon get a senior member rank. Just keep up the good work and keep helping the community. That should be our main goal. Best wishes for your future dude.

Can't remember the last time someone wrote about rank up here, it's been long until yours came up. Mere looking at the topics you have created you could possibly be the next scam buster champion this year  ;D

Congratulations Dave1

Great contributions bud.

Well done on your rank up. :-)

congrats you have a nice list of topics, this should also motivate other members who are doubting the process of ranking up, just give your best in what you do, and it will be rewarded, nothing is impossible in a person with a goal and dream in life, so no matter what is on your way you will overcome it, hope to see more great topics in the future from you.

Not a bad decision to make, Bitcoin is on quite a positive run atm, and there is a high chance that the fall that happened back in 2018 wouldn't repeat itself, there will of course be price corrections, but with the recent developments of quite a number of institutional Investors joining the network, a change in cycle could well be in motion.

Congratulations OP, for making it to full member and taking a decision to be active on the network and the forum, cheers mate.

you move up the rankings, which means your contribution has been very good...
the most important thing in order to be able to produce quality posts is to be diligent in reading and prove that you are a 'consistent reader' are the results of the posts you make. some say that moving up the rankings is difficult, yeah because they are lazy to read. *congratulation moving up the rankings with pride

Sorry for little off-topic, but I confused you with other member when I looked at your name. It's DaveF https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=300014
I thought, how you can become Full Member when you're Legendary for a long time already. Both of you have almost same nickname, both in Roobet signature campaign, so I confused you not without reason :D.
Back to the topic. Congrats with your achievement. I see that you make useful content, so, you fully deserved to rank-up. Just don't stop now ;).

Congrats for ranked up Dave1, I hope i can be a Full Member on this year hehehhe...

Congrats mate, do get what you deserve. This is another example that still we can upgrade our rank by contribution on the forum, especially those who are newbies. We just need a small effort to contribute our knowledge and experience. Those newbies congratulating you would take a lesson from this post on how is possible to rank up even there is a merit system. Good to see that you have created a few useful topics, it would motivate others as well to help forum users by creating useful and informative threads. Just try to continue your contribution to the forum. Hope once a day you will be Legendary.

Congratulation, mate.
You deserve it and you are a Full Member right now.
Your journey is still long and hopefully, you can increase again to rank up. Actually, this is not only about ranking up but also our contribution to this forum. The journey may not be going to be easy but I saw your posts are good enough.
I ever in this condition, being very happy to rank up.
ANd it will be still in progress to be more active and contributive again to this forum.
Keep it up

Congrats to OP for current rank and showing us a light of hope in our journey towards learning and the top. Bit by bit and one day we shall arrive.

You really deserved that achievement as you are a hardworking user here in this forum.

Just continue making quality posts that will help other people or newbies to become knowledgeable or understand what you've learned in this forum.

Goodluck to your journey and future endeavor so that you achieve your milestone in this forum. Many users are rooting to rank up without really doing hard-work and they are just begging for merit. And that's the thing that most of the newbies should avoid because if you value making quality posts then probably you will achieve what you want and earn your desired merit.

So although I've been around a while I never saw or asked is rank up automatic?
