Oh boy! Where do I even start... TL: DR I am fucking embarrassed with what my 17-year-old ass did to get my hands on some BTCs...
P.S Dunno why I spammed all these emojis below...
I learned about Bitcoin in early 2013 I believe and then I joined bitcointalk in 2014... I was 17 back then... I was just shitposting to get my rank up but then again I did not even know the word shitposting existed

... if I remember correctly You had to post 14 times every 2 weeks I believe to get 14 activity points... my goal was to get to the "hero member" rank for some reason, Signature campaign wasn't it

. I think it had to do with Avatar, Only hero and above could have an Avatar... That was my 17-year-old ass's priority... To get an Avatar on an internet forum...

But then I learned about the signature campaigns and once I got into one my posting "quality" went down the drain. It was EZ Bitcoins for my 18-year-old ass back then... I was saving them up! I had this goal back then to save Bitcoins till the next moon! The only smart thing I have done in my entire life... Then I got placed in
SMAS ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
... Lauda and co became my ENEMY!

Some people tried to raise voice against their regime but failed to over through them, they were just too powerful to be overthrown
Anyway, after a while, I realized that I was indeed shitposting and there is no such thing as Free Lunch... I genuinely tried helping the newbies here and genuinely took part in discussions, my posting quality improved automatically... I appealed to Lauda and Co and I was removed from the SMAS on my 1st appeal, I realized at that point that Lauda and Co weren't evil people as painted by other people here

they were just trying to help improve the community

Then I kinda laid low and focused on my "Learning", learning adobe suite, Unity3d and stuff... bitcointalk went on a back burner of sorts... I have to say this I was still "shitposting" but at a lower level in campaigns saving all those BTCs
( you can never save them enough ) but then stopped altogether once I started freelancing. Long story short, I am fucking embarrassed with my younger self for being naive and a "greedy" fuck!
My 1st post on Bitcointalk:
Turns out I wasn't a believer after all
10K Is not possible. Quantum computers will destroy bitcoins. These computers will be 1000 times faster than current super computer.
For some reason,
my 17-year-old ass thought you could make "profit" by lending 5 bucks!
Do lending you can make some profit.
I believe 70% of my posts can land in
Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny without a doubt! Jeez why am i even exposing myself...
