The Bitcointalk Urban Achievers Merit Scholarship Program

[nutildah]

Hello achievers and would-be achievers,

I was trying to make good on the delivery of some outstanding merits and keep running into this message:

You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 50 merit to that user.

Its been more than 30 days for some of you so I don't know what's up.


Thanks to an unexpected and generous donation by Sir Theymos, the Bitcointalk Urban Merit Achievers Scholarship Program is happy to announce they are now accepting new applications. Please read the first post for application details.

No re-application is necessary.

We have your information already.

We'll call you if something opens.

Seriously.

Am a beneficiary of this program, I didn't have the time to thank the head of the program then because it was locked, but now I must appreciate the effort sir nutildah is bringing into this, I think many like me who have benefited from this has only joyous things to say, and to everyone -Newbies or low rank- who always think that they are super productive to the forum but not been heard or seen this program is an opportunity to either become and awardee of the program or get exposed for not being what you think or say you are.
Am really excited to see the program back again and I know this would be another great give backs to the forum from a benevolent member.

Good luck to the next batches of applicants and thank you sir nutildah.

1. How it all started for me:

On like most persons who came into bitcoin or the forum solely yo earn, my idea of bitcoin came out o lf curiosity and how two persons with the same passion for a field so real and progressive could discuss in the open and yet, no one truly understands. It amazed me.

Coupled with the fact that, I witnessed first hand, how some undervalued token according to me as it was earned by the one who introduced me to the forum after having some bounty days, was able to sell this token and got its equivalent in fiat. Using the p2p service on an exchange into our local banks. To me, he was unique and I felt, I needed this so, I choosed to learn. I took the first step, swallowed my pride and asked him to teach me what he knows.

He introduced me to the forum, I never failed to refer to him on terms I never understood and then, I become fully involved with going through various contents across the boards on the forum. Now, I'm a proud owner of bitcoin & altcoins even as I continue to best and update my knowledge on the field still and I'm proud of my field of endeavour.


2. Some of my best posts but not limited to these are:
I. Your PerceptionMatters
II. Getting scared is useful!
III. Why you shouldn't tire out with bignners

I do my best to encourage ignorant people like I once was and stand as a pillar to cryptocurency where ever I find myself and when I can. On this note, I file in my application. Thank you!

I had known about bitcoin in certain time in the past, but unfortunately did not know it can be used in exchange for fiat until I read about it on an online site, later I knew about cryptotalk.org. I joined cryptotalk on October 2nd, 2019, at the time we were paid 1000 satoshi for every post. I made it up to 0.01 btc and I was able to trade it for fiat and believed bitcoin was real and it is money. Not long and I joined this forum to know more about what bitcoin is and it has actually been a good experience for me.

I. Without going into too much detail, tell me the story of your first experience with cryptocurrency. It can be about a purchase, payment, other transaction, or just some anecdote about Bitcoin (200 words or less):
My first experience was in 2013. I live in Spain and it was quite difficult to buy any, but I remember that I first read about Bitcoin and, in less than 2 days, I learnt all the practical knowledge needed and got my first coin. It costed me roughly 50€, but were hard times because I had to help paying an expensive college with the money I earned by teaching kids and didn't have much more, so I had to sell it shortly after but the experience helped me to be prepared for 2017 when I recovered the interest and had more money to invest.


II. Provide links for what you consider to be your three best posts. They don't necessarily have to be your most merited posts, but posts where you strongly believe you provided something of value to the community:
1.- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2035962.0 The most read and replied by far.
2.- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281832.msg55790208#msg55790208 Analysing the latest legal changes on Bitcoin in Spain.
3.- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5297105.0 My first post on Politics & Society, and the most merited so far (thanks again @squatz1).


III. That's it! Just post your answers to these two questions below and your application will be officially filed:
Thank you very much!!

It was in late 2016 and very early in 2017 that my crypto story began. Then I heard a name of a coin called billion coin, though I didn't know how to verify if the "coin" was worth genuine/investing on or not but I lost interest totally because it was looking like networking and I hate networking because it works like ponzi. This made me to put my attention on internet until I started reading about bitcoin.

I choose these as my three best posts.


1. Enough of bounty scam, you can help to stop it too.

How the Bitcoin journey began for me

I came into cryptocurrency through a stroke of luck in December 2016 at a time I was struggling with my offline business and that was through a radio broadcast I was listening to. It was a cross state radio station and some guys where canvassing participants to their upcoming seminar on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Curiosity got the better of me when I heard what the price of a Bitcoin compared to dollar was during that broadcast. I thought what they said about the price was just a gimmick to get people hooked. Again, I didn't want to pay to attend one of those empty motivational classes. So, I googled Bitcoin and one of those searches took me to the coinmarket site (CMC) and this forum. Immediately I read a few posts here I knew I was unto something good so I waited till my birthday on Jan 9th to get registered on this forum as a birthday gift to myself. Date of registration bears my birthday. No regrets doing that.

Provide links for what you consider to be your three best posts.

2. What Temperament Says About You
3. How to trade on Trust wallet with the Poocoin app

Back then before I knew about cryptocurrency, I started playing the game of faucet, I played on faucet for around a year from 2015 or close to that. I was playing it like a game and enjoying it, a game that I didn't know would later become money if sold. So out of curiosity, not with zeal and seriousness I kept acquiring the bitcoins. At the time I was eager to sell, I started making enquiry and surfed the net and that was how I got real information on cryptocurrency/bitcoin and even to this forum.

I noticed the existence of bitcoin in the year 2015, and i began to make a search of cryptocurrency more especially in bitcoin in the  year of 2016, so within interval of four months (4) i started investing in cryptocurrency, but just out of luck i saw bitcointalk community, through advert of bitcoin from internet especially Facebook and telegram, and in Facebook there, a link was dropped i clicked the link and the Link redirect me to bitcointalk community, then i began to read the rules and regulations of op, and i never knew what is bounty signature campaign then, but after reading, i could not understand anything serious concerning the rules.

I wrote the name of website in my document, after four years interval, which landed in 2020, i review my document and i saw bitcointalk forum, i have to access the site again and register in june 9th 2020, after registration i began to observe the forum for a while before i started creating topics.

Hello achievers and would-be achievers,

I was trying to make good on the delivery of some outstanding merits and keep running into this message:

You can only send 50 merit to a given user per 30 days. You have already sent 50 merit to that user.

Its been more than 30 days for some of you so I don't know what's up.

It does. I have a question, does this also eligible for those who received partial or do I need to submit another application?. If this happens to another forum user then they will know it right away. I don't know if there will be more partial achievers like me so this will make me understand this one. It feels like I am neither eligible nor non-eligible  .

[Oshosondy]

I have a question, does this also eligible for those who received partial or do I need to submit another application?

It was clearly started by nutildah that reapplying is not necessary. nutidah also means he would have sent more, but only maximum of 50 can be sent to a user monthly while the last time he sent to the last users is still remain like two weeks before 30 days will complete.

No re-application is necessary.

[Pokapoka124]

In the beginning
 I consider my introduction to bitcoin as my turning point. I was introduced to bitcoin by a friend. He couldn't stop talking about this digital currency that would change the world. I didn't understand any of what he said or meant
but the conviction with which he spoke those words caught my interest. After some months I decided to give this bitcoin thing a try. I created my first bitcoin wallet which was blockchain.com simply because it was the only wallet I was exposed to back then. I can remember the excitement I had when I bought my first bitcoin.
The rest is history

I am aware of the post made by nutidah. I am the first one to receive partial merit scholarship programn and nutilda rewarded me on May 24 and then next is UserU but the difference is that UserU got the full scholarship program. Just read the first page and you'll understand what I mean.

EDIT:
If it is not necessary to resubmit then it's already 43 days up. I don't know if I am eligible to what is quoted below.

Everybody else got 50, and can get up to 50 more in a month. Just remind me when the 30 days are up.

Congratulations to the incoming class (outgoing class?) of Merit Achiever Scholarships. You have demonstrated promising potential that you are not only willing to achieve but able to achieve.

I never had the chance to say thank you for finding me worthy of your award and for finding my contributions to our forum worthy of the merits award, this awards only motivate me to do what I know how to do best which is to clean our forum and outside our forum from Ponzi scheme, pyramid, scam projects and to expose and shut down phishing links, to make our crptyo environment a safe place to invest without having doubts, My sincere gratitude to you and all those part of this program. I'm humbled.
And congratulations to the winners of this batch in advance and if you don't make the list please remember this great quote from Roger Crawford
If you enter a race and finish last, you are a winner. The loser never entered the race.

[GeorgeJohn]

I came across the name Bitcoin seven years ago, when I was with my cousin. He was into cryptoworld then but I didn't ask him much concerning Bitcoin, how it works.
Reaching this year i met a friend who introduced me to Bitcointalk, since the day I became a member I have gotten enough knowledge about Bitcoin that have added much value to my life. I think Bitcointalk forum is the best community have ever found my self in life.

Here are my best three post
1. Go ahead and invest when ever you are ready

2. Cryptocurrency really pays

Thank you

I feel that I'm not in right position to tell you that you are not eligible to submit application of Merit but have to tell you, i think op made clear and very specific that people that will be in higher chance to be beneficiary of this contest of  merit scholarship is seniors more especially seniors members with higher merit and also state it very clear that a user don't have to participate twice, please don't take it so personal, it's a little impression, and i have to put you true to avoid next time, just read the body of op text so that you will comprehend more better.

I first learned about bitcoin back in 2015-2016, then my friend sent me links through which it was possible to receive bitcoin for simple actions. But I didn't take it seriously and missed my first chance to get bitcoins. Later in 2017, I registered on the Bitcointalk, although I knew about this site before, but I just read it without registering. I took part in the bounty and several of my tokens grew very well, so I could buy about 5 bitcoins, but greed has played a cruel joke on me and I didn’t buy because I wanted to wait for the token price to rise even more and I could earn more bitcoins. Unfortunately, this did not work out and I again missed the opportunity to get bitcoins, and the price of tokens dropped very much and now they cost almost nothing.

Now I try to earn and hold only bitcoin, as I consider it to be the strongest coin, which will be very expensive in the future. I missed so many opportunities to earn bitcoins and gained invaluable experience from my mistakes. Hopefully this time I will succeed!

You know what? Since you're just 1 Merit away from your next journey, take one and be on your way

[Porfirii]

It seems that I ranked up to Hero before my post was reviewed not bad if that was the reason (I hope it wasn't that I didn't qualify due to other reasons).

I just wanted to thank nutildah for his/her generosity and helping attitude with this thread: back in 2017 when I started posting it was quite easy to rank up with a little patience and constancy, but nowadays it is quite more difficult since the merit system was installed, and all the support from generous Legendaries in that regard is worthy of being grateful.

Keep up!!

[soliton]

nutildah, many thanks for  the scholarship. I applied when I had as many as 180 merits to earn to became  Hero and received  50 merits accompanied with certificate  when that figure has reduced to 150. That certificate gave me a big traction  and  less than a month after,  I have earned so many merits,  that this allowed me to be  ranked up to Hero member. Thank you once more for this wonderful program that encourages users.
