Hall of Fame. A BTT Memoir.

[Bightening]

I, like every other Newbie, couldn’t read/post on https://bitcointalk.org/captions.php, so I thought of a thread open to newbies view, and that would hold the good memory of the forum.

There have been some exceptional posts on Bitcointalk, that has been influential not only to the development of the forum but also to the development of Bitcoin, Ethereum and the World.

I’m going to start with these few very popular posts, and hope to see other posts that seem hidden but has been influential.

The perspective shadow was too thick on the larger sizes.  I updated 32, 48 and the full size.

I propose that we adopt the Thai baht currency symbol, ฿, as the official bitcoin currency symbol and BTC as the official bitcoin three letter currency code.

I guess that will be enough for a good read even for a week or even shorter than that if you want to. If you want to sort out reading the most merited topics or should I say exceptional as well here on the forum then better you visit this Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard of Ddmr2x. I hope I'd give enough good readings for you.

OMG Fricking newbies merit farming.

OMG Fricking newbies merit farming.

LOL.  What a post for a complete newcomer to the forum, eh?  The brilliance, the genius!  It's so hard nowadays to farm accounts; you need so much merit to rank them up.

Anywaaay.  OP, both of those threads are famous and I do believe that both were nominated in the best post contest, which I haven't really been following.  Point is, most people are aware of them and there's really no need for this thread.  The only thing you're going to attract are very jaded senior members who've seen every noob trick in the book and don't believe you're a noob for one minute.  Everyone else is busy spamming shitposts for the cryptotalk campaign.

I do hope to see older member of the community participate

They'll participate in slamming this thread and that's probably all you're going to get.  Nobody here likes to be taken for a fool.

This is iconic. More like what I thought of doing here but this time with forum members contributing in a way to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Bitcointalk forum. Thanks for pointing out.

I don’t know if this was meant to be a compliment or not. But I’m pretty sure you adore my post and see the essence. Thanks.

Heh, I don't see a problem with his post mate, he's put a decent bit of effort to it and it's a breath of fresh air from what you normally see from Newbies - ever looked at patrol? It normally looks something like this: Bounty campaign, bounty campaign, plagiarized post, one-liner unrelated to the topic, bounty campaign...so on and so forth. I'd rather encourage this type of content than the crud that we see so often.

Nice work OP, fairly sure a thread like this has been done before but it's relevant to the contests going on right now so why not do it again.
