My journey from a default full member to achieved Senior member.

That first line and last part are definitely true. You really have to do the work but of course with consistency, humility, and showcasing your strength. And with that, I would like to congratulate you for reaching another achievement.

I'm sure you've inspired many people here, including me of course, not to give up on your goals. I always remember this quote that I've read earlier this year, "I may walk slow but I don't walk backwards." Congrats again, @Gozie51!

I've been active on this forum since I got registered (on March) and I'll probably get the senior rank in 1 week. As far as I've dug up this place, I've noticed that members that took part in bounties found difficulties, because of the scams. You must have made a big "time out" from bitcointalk and I can see that from your registration date. If you had been making on average 1 post everyday since 2017 you would be a Legendary at the moment. (Excluding merits)

Based on my bitcoin dedication, I won't stop posting here until it's officially over. Carry on and see you on Hero rank! 

Don't lose heart, man. All you have to do is increase your activity and you're ready to rank up to Sr. Member. You have more than enough merits to reach senior and who knows, you might even gain more to reach another rank while waiting for your activity to increase, right? Just keep going. Let's keep going. We'll get there, too.

Congratulations to you @Gozie51, if the reference is to continue to reach higher rankings then it is still a long way to go, but when you consider this forum as a place to get and share information about crypto and others, this journey will not stop.
Once again, congratulations to you every member who strives to be better deserve to be appreciated.

First of all, congratulations to your progressive journey here in this forum!

We're so proud of you, and especially to other users here who did their best to achieve their goals every single day.

You're really an inspiration to other users who are losing hope to have a higher rank. Just be patient and do your part, make a lot of informative posts and just don't violate any rules and regulations in this forum. There are a lot of users here who are really greedy when it comes to earning money which is really not the number 1 priority here.

Congratulations Gozie on achieving yet another milestone. It's a big feat that is worth celebrating. A lot of people think that the merit system is trash and should be scrapped simply because they can't rank up as quickly as they hoped. Funny enough, that's not even how the merit system was implemented to be. The best thing to do has always been contributing and adding value to the community and everything else will fall into place. Once again, Massive congrats!

The merit system was not introduced to deprive those putting in efforts into adding valuable discussion to the forum which is why at any given opportunity I try to encourage them with the necessary merits needed to reach the next rank. If you're putting in your best and not getting recognize as you would have dreamt, you don't have to lose focus and start getting discouraged.

As far as a member is contributing constructively to the forum, everything else will fall into place. There are always people on the lookout for people who bring value to the forum via their constructive discussions or threads.
