Hardly anyone will answer where they see themselves in 5 years, and I think it's even harder for beginners. Considering some of the facts realistically, it is not difficult to conclude that only a small percentage of beginners can somehow advance in the forum. Some become members only to participate in bounty campaigns, others try to be true members but face the classic challenges of a language barrier or the impression that they cannot get enough merits to get a higher rank.
From the perspective of someone who has been on the forum for almost 5 years I can say that I really had a great desire to be a part of this community and to contribute in some way with my participation. I can't say I did exactly what I wanted, but I still came pretty far from a regular beginner to where I am now. Nothing in life is achieved overnight, and only those who have clear goals and great persistence can succeed.
well my dream up until this day is having to assemble my own mining rigs at home and let all the mining process do the work for me.
