[2020] Positive news!

[SFR10]

Share your 2020 achievement, any good news, success, and so on.

Achievement/success

• I'm someone with a medical background that happens to be working in a hospital that became dedicated ^{[almost 80% of our departments]} to Covid-19 patients and knowing that how close I had to work with my patients ^{[some of them have/had Covid-19]} while still remaining uninfected ^{[including my family]} is definitely one of my biggest achievements for this year.
  • Even though this pandemic forced us to wear special masks, suits, and shields ^{[that resulted in less freedom and harder communication at work]}, it's still worth all the extra effort it took to protect us and others around us.

Good news

• Seeing that a lot of you are still around ^{[with the exception of a few]} while reading every single one of the posts makes it the best news ever.

Say something good about any user

It wouldn't be fair to only name a few and since I've seen a significant improvement ^{[in general]} among users of this forum, I would like to point to those that make positive contributions ^{[small or big, known or unknown]} and just say, THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS FORUM A BETTER PLACE FOR THE FUTURE.

Two people gave merit to this garbage post from a brand new account.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5302899.msg55915255#msg55915255

These threads are a good idea, but don't blindy reward those who put no effort in.

You are right! But those are just 2 merits. At most that user will be able to attain Jr. Member rank and join some shitty altcoin bounties with minimum rank requirement. I don't see any other significant abuse. At least he's in the radar now because I suspect him as an alt account so it will be easy to locate if he abuses a campaign with multi-accounting in future.

But most important of all - it's Holidays week man! And as the title of this thread says - 'Positivity', let's try to be. Last year Theymos distributed tons of merits to newbies in art contest. That's the spirit of festival and celebrations.

Happy holidays and Christmas for those who run it.....!🎄🎅🤶

Previously I apologized to everyone on the Bitcointalk forum, 2020 is only 7 days away, of course there are many positive things that can be obtained here, of course l cannot say one by one, clearly everything is the best and positive.

I hope the beginning of 2021 and I pray for the bitcointalk forum community and crypto users, especially Bitcoin around the world: healthy, safe, and still given the best and positive by God.

There are not many comments that I can say here, the bottom line: always provide the best for the Bitcointalk forum from all sides.

Regards.

Positive news with this year where altcoin going to the moon and bitcoin reach higher price in this year, nice waiting for what happen this year could going on for the next year and become motivate how to be better in trading or investing with many project, but most important have to prepare right now is most active when trade on dapp exchange market, today many people earn much money from 1inch coin after receiving more than 600 1inch coin, maybe for next year when bitcoin reach higher price give surprise for bounty and ICO project running well.

[pawanjain]

I have learnt so many things from this forum. Bitcointalk has not only made me improve my vocabulary but also has improvised my knowledge in various domains.
I have met so many people on this forum who are talented and have achieved a good reputation for themselves. 2020 has been the best year for me.
I have made some very nice friends from this forum who have helped me develop my skills and motivated me to further improvise my overall skills and domain knowledge.
I got the opportunity to be a part of different communities such as discord, Telegram, IRC etc.. I have also started my journey towards bitcoin core development this year.

Personally, since the implementation of the merit system I have seen good progress on my posting habits. It might not be so good in other's perspective but I believe I have put in significant efforts to make some good contribution on this forum and this won't stop here. I will continuously try harder to deliver greater contribution towards the forum.

Here is my summary of the amount of merits earned since the implementation of the merit system.

Amount of merits earned in 2018 : 0
Amount of merits earned in 2019 : 39
Amount of merits earned in 2020 : 147
Total merits earned                      : 186

I hope I will rank up to become a Hero Member in the first quarter of 2021.

Share your 2020 achievement, any good news, success, and so on. Say something good about any user or how this forum has helped you succeed.
In short, write something positive to cheer up other users.

the only achievement I can consider(not even sure If I should consider it) here in the forum is that I finally got my first 100 merits although it is not something to be proud of I am still glad that there are members appreciate my post

as for member who has helped me(well, not just me but the whole forum) LoyceV and TryNinja the projects, scripts they created are extremely helpful not just to me but to all the members who are using it.

Happy Christmas to those who run, I believe this is an extraordinary day when the market is in good condition and of course with positive news.

We will welcome 2021 where it is full of positive hope and I will continue to do my best for this forum and of course with interesting content and provide education to other members this is a very pleasant journey for me, especially in this forum, there are many things that I learned but in 2021 it will be beautiful for us all.

Merry Christmas and holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy holiday to all who celebrate this festival.
2020 is a glorious year for cryptocurrency. In this year Bitcoin reaches its ATH. Bitcoin halving occurs in this year. After 2017, the price of cryptocurrency has been increased in 2020. Cryptocurrency has been able to cope with much of the economic downturn in our lives for Covid 19.

The BitcoinTalk forum is a self-contained forum. Thousands of guides have been created here for the convenience of the members. If anyone wants help in the forum, hundreds of members come forward to help him. That's why I like this forum so much.

[Yogee]

2020, what can I say? Tough year for most people who aren't accustomed to earning money online but there were some who adjusted quite smoothly. I'm not going to mention any more members here [there are other threads that already highlighted their achievements].

Despite a rough year, I'm kinda happy that the pandemic happened since we get to see bitcoin breaking its previous ATH in just a matter of days because more institutional investors see more value in bitcoin now compared to fiat. Who knows if it will break $30,000 as we approach the new year? I know that's selfish but that's how I see its effect on BTC.

P.S.
Merry Christmas and I'm looking forward to a bountiful New Year!
BTC $100K by Dec 2021 hehe.

[Swordsoffreedom]

2020 is the year to fulfill my dream. Some good things have happened in my life even though some critical moments. First of all, the value of my deposited BTC has more than doubled since the BTC achieved at the new ATH, I really appreciate that. Now I can say to everyone that Bitcoin is my strongest financial support.
Secondly, on the 21st of Dec, I received an offer letter from my dreaming university. I got an offer letter from Ostbayerische Technische University in Germany. 
Soon I will be on my way to Amberg-Weiden ❤️ in Germany to complete my bachelor's degree.
Please everyone pray for me.
Happy Christmas to all.

This made me smile wide. Glad you got accepted. Happy holidays~

Hey everyone,

First, I would like to wish you all Merry Christmas to all Christian fellows.

What I have learned in the past years is that if you made mistakes in your past (here on the forum and tried to explain but no one listened, and you moved on with it) but you are a skillful person and can provide good services to your clients and work up to the mark then you must forget about ratings and start thinking about your future.

The same happened to me I made mistakes tried everything but then I lost hope but I kept working hard for my clients made all clients happy, Now I have clients which are working with me for months and they are happy with my services and I got many positive feedbacks from them.

So in the end forget about your past - accept it - move on - work hard and earn respect. In the end, it all comes to respect and everything is not about money sometimes you have to work for free to show how worthy you are.

Regards

I thank zasad@ for providing a place to generate merit, and also provide the opportunity for me to share positive things and achievements
that I got in this forum. When the beginning of 2020 I am quite optimistic that there will be many positive things, but it turned out that after
the Bitcoin halving the Bitcoin price did not go up as I expected and plus the COVID19 pandemic was getting tense. I feel like 2020 will be
worse than 2019.

It turned out that my guess was wrong, Good things started to happen around September I was accepted into the SimpleFX signature campaign
even though it only lasted for a month. It has given me the opportunity to earn money in a pandemic situation. Then it was continued that good
things happened in October, I was accepted into the AMEPAY signature campaign for two weeks with a BTC fee. And the last positive thing I had
in December was like a Christmas present to me, I was accepted into the IOI Game's signature campaign and also the Bitcoin price made it to
the new ATH. I am very happy to end this year happily, and I thank to TheAndy500, Small Rabbit and roycilik. It has given me the opportunity
to earn income in this economic crisis situation in 2020.

When I start February 17, 2020, I don't have any idea where I need to post in or comment a thread just exploring some boards and immediately I make a thread to earn merit but the struggle is real some of the members critique my contents due to being a low-quality poster,  growing up to earn merits I start creating good content and helpful threads some of the members now appreciate this and give me some of their sMerit this gives me more motivation to create a different thread. Actually, my goal is to have an Avatar before I reach that AFAIK I have only ~60-70 merits before reaching the Full member rank I try to create a Quiz game but with the use of the c# programing but the problem is I gave the project in some instance some of the members(DdmrDdmr, LoyceV and crwth) suggested to make a website so I try to learn some javascript, HTML and CSS so I create a quiz game with the use of the website which this [GAME] Bitcointalk game I rank up to Full member. Right now I'm trying to work on another project for the bitcointalk still lacking information and knowledge so I need to work on it more I courage my self to create a new project again because of the project created by Vod, LoyceV and TryNinja publish here on our forum.

During on my progress I notice that some of the members immediately earned merit quickly such as BlackHatcoiner, Charles-Tim, and bluesnow they are my secret motivation because what if I catch up their merits, well there is no official race or conversation with them I just want to reach the amount of merit they have but still it's quite hard to me. This is my first Christmas in our forum and right now I haven't explored some of the board but I discover some of them and those board helps me a lot of there are a lot of information I can use to my future investment and helps me to build more my knowledge. Hoping I will reach another rank for the upcoming year and meet other quality members.

Thank You so much,

2020 has been such a shitshow, it has done more harm than good. However, that didn't change how some people reacted on this forum at least for all the good moments that happened here,: QS and Lauda forgiving each other was a highlight for sure. 2020 has been so fucking long I can't even tell if this happened this year or if it happened in 2019. Still fuckin sucks that Bruno isn't with us and Lauda left the forum, and a lot of OGs leaving, gives me a hard time everytime I talk about it. ~

I've read your post, tears came to my eyes. It is a fact that a lot of OGs are leaving. I'm really missing all of them, especially "Lauda, TMAN". we can't ever forget their contributions.
By the way, marry Christmas @pugman. Happy holidays.

[janggernaut]

@zasad@, it's seems a bit unfair for you to not join us on this discussion. Would you mind to share your positive news too on 2020 which will end 5 days later?

Update ATH of bitcoin today

HODLINGGGG

[Furious 7]

When people celebrate Christmas we are happy with the price that has reached a high value of $ 25,000 at the end of this year is the second second that bitcoin peaks. Is this your happy day with bitcoin trading now? really you are lucky with what the story did before and now you can reap the perfect profit.

For us, it doesn't matter not being able to vacation because of the government restrictions that have been implemented, but this is our joy to see the price of bitcoin for us to share stories here and I always remind us to keep our distance to stay safe.

Merry Christmas.

[Rengga Jati]

There are some good experiences and achievements I got in 2020. Maybe below some of them that I can share with you.
1. I can improve my post quality, even it is a bit.
2. I am starting to contribute more to the forum in more aspects such as reporting spammers & bad posts, giving more merits among the members, ensuring to participate in my local board, etc
3. Buying BTC at the beginning of the year and start to sell it gradually at the end of the year. (lucky experience)
4. Inviting my friends to join this forum and crypto as a whole both via online or offline media. (never did it in the previous year)

Well, it may be sound a bit private or not so great. But for me, those are necessary things to happen this year.

Thanks, buddy.

[MCobian]

I don't have many achievements in 2020, maybe the most memorable for me is that I can get 8 merits so far in 2020. Because I was
inactive in previous years, maybe the merit that I get is very small for many members on this forum. But for me the 8 merits that I get
are achievements. Another positive thing is maybe I can get a big profit from Bitcoin this year. Soon 2020 will end, I hope I can be even
better in 2021. And my target is in 2021 I can level up to become a Sr Member.
