Beginers dream of becoming a Legendary, and my goal is Hero.

[m2017]

According to the OP, both The Pharmacist and I:

-"do not know what we are taking about"
-"we are taking words out of context and fantasising"
-"we do not read carefully before commenting-we have no sense of humour"

I have unwatched this thread for obvious reasons 

Here it was only about you. Sorry for my English. This is not my native language and therefore, I can not quite correctly express my thoughts in English, and not in the way I originally intended.

I read the thread and had zero sympathy and zero merits for the OP but he will continue to bump the thread several times more trying to rinse the last possible merit out of it.
 

Sympathy or antipathy is a purely personal matter and not necessarily everyone should like me. Also, everyone on this forum has the right to dispose of their merit. Including you. I think you already know this without me.

Since you stated this was no longer relevant and alluded it had served the purpose you had in mind (which were receiving merits in the hope of ranking up), I suggest this thread is locked.

Agreed.

It was not clear to me why The Pharmacist agreed with your words here. Either he "do not read carefully before commenting", or he agrees with your words. At that moment, I could not imagine that someone could agree with your words above. But I cooled down and rethought it.

Even if The Pharmacist fully agrees with what you said, then I don't blame him for anything. And anyone else who is of the same opinion as you. Everyone has the right to see the current situation as they see fit. How many people, so many opinions, views, points of view.

I am grateful to you for expressing an alternative point of view. You, like any of us, have the right to have your own opinion. I heard and accept your position, but I still remain in my opinion and will not try to convince you or anyone else. I'm not going to impose my point of view. Let each of the readers of this topic decide for himself which of the points of view is closer to him.

If this is your blog, may I ask how you motivate newbies? Have you been absent from the forum for several years and suddenly waking up, you decided to tell us about your dream?

Here is the answer to your question:

Congratulations to you for senior member rank.
I enjoy reading your story. You like to write long articles with good english. It is like you took a break for sometime and return back to the forum. I check your profile you have been here since 2017. You should have no problem to get to hero because many people must have known you and wish you to rank up.

Maybe that's why I should write? Btw, this account is about 6 months old, and can it be considered a newcomers?

What is an example for beginners? Come and ask to be given merit? Don't you look like this?
 

Let everyone decide individually. What seems like a useless example to you may be useful to others, isn't it?

Your position is also clear to me. I will repeat the downtrodden phrase in this post - you have the right to think as you wish and adhere to the opinion that you consider correct. But at the same time, keep in mind that people around you may have an opinion different from yours. This is neither good nor bad. This is a given, which is better to accept so that there are no misunderstandings.

Or do you have outstanding posts to show off?
 

I'm trying to show at least some activity. To the best of my ability I do it the best I can and how I can do it. And certainly, I do not pretend to be the best writer of the year. But I know for sure that there is little honor in blaming others. I also don't like many of the posts on bitcointalk and I think that many of them are undeservedly awarded merit. But who am I to judge others and teach how to live? Evaluation is a subjective thing.

I hope, lovesmayfamilis and JollyGood, we understand each other and can we stop discussing the difference in our opinions? Perhaps you are nice people  and in the future, in other topics, we can find a common language. I don't hold a grudge against you and I hope you will forgive me if somewhere I expressed myself a little harshly or expressed myself incorrectly.

My questions are rhetorical, aimed at prompting readers to some thoughts. To your thoughts.

I am a peace-loving person and I believe that negativity is a destructive path. It is much more profitable to unite by common interests, because together you can achieve more. I hope that what I wanted to say in this post will be understood correctly.

I did not have time, but I wanted to help him achieve a new rank, since he applied:

You helped me in any way and thank you for that, both indirectly through your topic and directly through merit.

A small digression:
Thank you  uchegod-21 for your kind words. No doubt you flatter me about my English. Undoubtedly, I still have some work to do if such situations with misunderstandings arise (which I wrote about at the beginning of the post).

Nice topic mate!

This topic is made nice by you and others who leave here their wishes, parting words or just their comments. Thanks for your positivity.

And I really envy you (although I have more merits right now) because you have almost twice as much activity as mine.

To get even with you, I will say that I envy your merits. In fact, don't need to envy the achievements of others, but it is better to concentrate on own. But of course, other people's examples can serve as a good motivation.

Despite the fact that you registered on the forum later than me. Now I regret that I paused few times and was not active on the forum all the time.

We've both been through this and let this be an example to others that if you want to achieve anything (not just rank up) then don't pause. "I see a purpose, but I don't see obstacles." 

In any case, let everything go as it goes and everything has its time. Good luck!

Well said. I take my time and try not to "lose my breath in the race". Thank you

Congratulation to you for achieving the rank of the Sr. Member. And base on your current merit you are not so for from being a hero member. Also, I don't think you will stop at the rank of hero. After reaching on hero you will try to be Legendary too.

Thank you for your comment. Life is a movement and in no case should you stop. Having achieved some goals, you always need to come up with new ones for yourself so that they encourage new achievements. For only in the process of this movement can something useful be created.

As I said earlier, achieving ranks is just a kind of tool.

I suspect if you just posted more, you'd probably have been at least a Hero member by now.

He could be even Legendary. Just saw his profile and he registered in 2017 which is over 4 years in here. With regular posting one needs around two years to be legendary considering OP did not have problem earning merits. His posts are fairly good to earn merits so earning merits were not an issue in this account.

Anyway, good luck brother. continue and soon you will be Legendary.

I think that I can still become Legendary. After the next 4 years, not before.
Thx. I don't want to soon, I want to stretch this pleasure, like Ratimov. 

Current status of reaching a Hero rank: 334337/500

The amount of merit you get is of course very impressive lately, this may only happen to a few people who have good quality posts regardless of whether it is a new post or an old post that the merit source has just discovered. I think you'll hit 500 merit in the near future if you're passionate enough to create much higher quality posts. For now, congratulations to the members of Sr. Keep your quality.

As Boristhecat already said:

let everything go as it goes and everything has its time.

By the way, hands off my merit-meter! Let me mess with it myself and thank you for your wishes.

Hope I haven't missed anyone with an answer and we continue on our way.

P.S.
On this two-week cycle, I passed the 1000 activity mark. Although a very insignificant event, for me this is also a small achievement. A kind of psychological barrier "over 1k activity" has been overcome.

Congratulations m2017!

You are a Hero Member Now. It just takes two months to reach Hero rank from Sr. Member rank. I believe you are a good quality poster and I have seen a few of your posts. Even you have said Legendary is almost impossible (I don't think so), I hope you will reach Legendary within a year from now. I guess you can celebrate your rank up within this thread instead of creating another one. Because a lot of old members think creating a thread to celebrate your rank up is intentional merit begging. BTW, We have a Dedicated Rank-up thread here. Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!

[SatoPrincess]

Congratulations on your new achievement. You achieve a new rank before me twice in a row. My feelings are hurt lol. What next? Legendary! Enjoy a bottle of wine, today you’re hero

I don’t think m2017 is the type that would create threads to hunt merits. He’s been consistent on this thread to celebrate his achievements and I think he’s going to continue doing so.

Congratulations m2017!

Thank you for your congratulations and for watching my counter.  

You are a Hero Member Now. It just takes two months to reach Hero rank from Sr. Member rank.

Yes, it's true now, although 2 months ago I would not have thought that this would happen so soon. I described my assumptions in previous posts and expected that the achievement of the Hero rank would be delayed for a longer period of time.

I believe you are a good quality poster and I have seen a few of your posts.

I would like to think so too. And yes, I saw your posts too and learned something new for myself from them. This I can say for sure.

Even you have said Legendary is almost impossible (I don't think so),

Now it seems to me that this is, in fact, possible if I am active. Basically, I have no choice: there is only one direction. In any case, I can say that this "mini-game" with the receipt of merits brought its share of fun and therefore, it is foolish to refuse it. Also, merits stimulate to make posts better.  I want to continue this journie.

I hope that also my efforts in the form of posts and topics (the best of them) prompted readers to think, because I can say with confidence that their creation stimulated my reflections exactly.  

I hope you will reach Legendary within a year from now.

You will be surprised, but my first thought today about Legendary rank in my head sounded almost the same as you say. I have already set myself up that I will be able to reach new rank not earlier than in a year, or even more. This time, it will really be a marathon run. Here I am certain.

I guess you can celebrate your rank up within this thread instead of creating another one.

I had no plans to create separate topics (similar) and this  is enough for me. After all, I already wrote here earlier, this is something like a micro-blog or mini-diary for me. Added another update/ mark note today.

Because a lot of old members think creating a thread to celebrate your rank up is intentional merit begging.

Therefore, I will immediately say that in NO case should you give me merits here.
_{If such a desire arises, then it is better to pay attention to my posts in other topics that contain more useful information (if you consider it so)}.
 

BTW, We have a Dedicated Rank-up thread here. Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great!

Yes, I am aware and writing a post in this thread is next on my to-do list.

Congratulations on your new achievement. You achieve a new rank before me twice in a row. My feelings are hurt lol. What next? Legendary! Enjoy a bottle of wine, today you’re hero

I won't be able to do it the third time. So, you have every chance and therefore - catch up!
You have already fulfilled one of the requirements for the new stage and it remains only to wait for the right hour and then you will become closer to me.

Thank you for your words and for rooting for me. I didn't forget about bottle of wine.

You deserve it man. Congratulations on your rank up. I’ve also achieved my Hero Member rank several days ago too. I know it’s a great feeling for you to achieve that rank and sharing your testimony here to the Bitcointalk community.

Just stick to your goal. Don’t pressure yourself to keep posting and sharing for the purpose of getting merits and ranking up. Treat them like “bonus” or “blessing”. Have a “give more” mentality without expecting anything in return. It’ll paid off and you’re already experiencing it now.

Cheers and have a great day man!

Thanks, I forgot to fix it. In the previous post I will leave everything as it is, but I will indicate current counter in this post.

You deserve it man.

At times it seems to me that this is not entirely true and they gave me merit as an "advance payment", which I need to "work" and justify the trust. I hope you understand what I want to say.

Congratulations on your rank up. I’ve also achieved my Hero Member rank several days ago too. I know it’s a great feeling for you to achieve that rank and sharing your testimony here to the Bitcointalk community.

Thank you for your congratulations. I saw a glimpse Finally in the Hero club! and wanted to unsubscribe there, but kept putting it off. I think I should look there and complete what I had planned earlier.

I was tempted to close this thread for comments and write here only about significant events for me, but your words prompted me not to do this. I will highlight this in your text.

I don't want to comment on anything, because I think that you said exactly what is needed. No more, no less.

And good luck on your path too.

[qwertyup23]

Achieving any rank in this forum is a milestone in itself due to the difficulty of having and receiving merits from the users. The fact that you were able to reach Hero rank tells a lot about your skill and is a testimony that you definitely deserve such achievement.

Congratulations, OP! The feeling of achieving something due to the hard work you have painstakingly did is worth it! You managed to achieve something that 90% of the forum members cannot do, which is to be consistent and firm. I hope to see you in a legendary rank status the next time I reply to this post.

[m2017]

Well, that day has come, to which I went a little more than a year. This topic was created on February 4 last year and as you can see, I managed to achieve not only my goal, but also to touch the dream. To the dream of all beginners.

Probably, the phrase "I managed to achieve" sounds a little pathetic, as if I had done a heroic deed (this was left in the past when I became a Hero member ). In fact, my merit is only that slowly, step by step, stubbornly and persistently went to this goal. How? The fact that he systematically communicated on this forum and tried to write posts in such a way that it could be at least a little useful for others. Whether it is some information or my opinion, which prompted others to think and look from a different angle. I confess, it is not always possible to write well, but I try. All the way, the merits encouraged me to improve the quality of the posts (to the best of my ability), so I became even more convinced that the introduction of the merits system was the right decision. At least for me, because it pushes me to become better and try to benefit others. I still amuse myself with the hope that this topic and what is written in it will benefit someone and push them to new achievements. For many beginners, the merit system is painful and frustrating. This is the wrong position. In difficulties and obstacles, one should try to see a challenge for oneself and opportunities for changes in oneself. As I thought, having gone through this year-long path, personal metamorphoses will become the most important for me, and achieving the coveted rank is a good incentive and personal moral reward. It's nice to know that you've accomplished what you set out to do.

For beginners who want to become a Legendary someday, I can say that it is important to be active and take action to make your wish come true. But this activity should be deliberate, and not make heaps of empty and meaningless posts. Little is better, but of high quality and having at least some benefit. If not useful, then at least try to be active in the life of the forum. Legendary rank can't be obtained in 1 day, therefore, tune in for a long distance, as in investing. How not to become a millionaire in 1 day, and not to get the Legendary rank in 1 day.

I sincerely hope that my little adventure here will be a good motivation, at least for someone . And now, I'm passing the baton to other beginners - your ranks are waiting for you!

I express my deep gratitude to everyone who encouraged my posts with merit, all 1000 times. This allowed me to realize that the efforts were not in vain and pushed me to move forward and bring this day closer. It also allowed me to keep the hope that even such an unbearable number as 1000 merit is achievable if you keep going. Without all of you, I wouldn't be writing this today. I don't know if this is good or bad.

Also, I want to express my gratitude to all forum users, past and present, for sharing your opinions and remaining responsive. This is the most valuable thing on bitcointalk - it's a community and I'm glad to be a part of it.

keep walking, Johnnie m2017

P.S. I'm sorry that I had to bring up an old topic (as well like this longread ), which has been inactive for a long time, but this little story had to have an ending in order to have a logical conclusion.

[BITCOIN4X]

m2017, your dream come true. Your consistency and hard work paid off, so congrats on your new rank as Legendary. Of course, this is the happiest day on your part and you have the right to share that happiness with the members of the forum.

I've actually felt this before, it was when I managed to rank up to Legendary as well. As a user who was on this forum after the merit system was introduced, I think I really know how the struggle and journey are. So have fun.

[salad daging]

Congratulations m2017 dream is now achieved by moving up the ranks to become a legendary member because of course this is thanks to your efforts and hard work in making meaningful posts on the forum.

I have also reached the hero member since the airdrop merit of 250 and now my goal is still long for the next rank but with many reaching these members it is a motivation for many people including myself to continue to provide meaningful posts here I will not give up at any time because in here provide more extensive knowledge about the world of bitcoin and other types.

[Z-tight]

P.S. I'm sorry that I had to bring up an old topic (as well like this longread ), which has been inactive for a long time, but this little story had to have an ending in order to have a logical conclusion.

I don't feel you have to be sorry because it is better to use this "old topic" for all of your achievements, than to start a new one when you achieve any new milestone, so posting it here or here is good.

Congratulations m2017, you dreamt of being legendary, and now you can say you have achieved that dream, when members rank up like this, it can be a motivation for others to get better at their posts and achieve the same thing, so this is a good post and please enjoy your new rank.

[SatoPrincess]

Congratulations m2017, it doesn’t get higher than this. Not many people can say they have reached a legendary in such short time. I’m encouraged by your journey and how far you have come. You won the legendary race lol I’m short 464 merits but I’m coming for you. How about we race to 3k merit club. Congratulations again!

[mamesso]

Since this thread was created which indicates you have been promoted to rank Sr. Members, it's like you're on a toll road with no obstacles at all to get a higher rank. In a very short time 4 February 2022 while you are still at rank Sr. Members, now you have won the highest rank on the forum February 20, 2023.

MS and the generous people in the forum have played an important role in your success to reach Legendary rank. Of course this is very fun, especially for those of you who have just succeeded in realizing the dream of becoming a Legendary.
Congratulations @m2017, now you are a Legendary member. Have fun, after this you can play the role as others have done for you.

[Edwardard]

Congratulations m2017, you are not only a legendary member now but also an idol and motivation for other lower ranked  members. I know its a bit tough after the merit system launch, but if one can do it, everyone with good dedication can as well.

lol I’m short 464 merits but I’m coming for you.

Gonna take another few months for you (and me too). I guess we both are in the same club princess

How about we race to 3k merit club. Congratulations again!

Haha, so the competition and the human tendency to get more never ends xD

[KingsDen]

Well, that day has come, to which I went a little more than a year. This topic was created on February 4 last year and as you can see, I managed to achieve not only my goal, but also to touch the dream. To the dream of all beginners.

Needless of saying much, I remember all about this thread and I remember your rank and merit count being so far from achievement when you made this thread. I remember how consistent you have remained. I remember when you helped me escape the 666 merit count
I remember when you joined the Best_Change family. I remember most things about you as if you are my close friend. We only meet here and nothing more, but with all modesty I can attest that you are a good fellow.
Congratulations and accept my love from this end of the world ❤️

[SatoPrincess]

lol I’m short 464 merits but I’m coming for you.

Gonna take another few months for you (and me too). I guess we both are in the same club princess

I guess we are. If m2017 can do it, we definitely can. I messed up OP’s beautiful 1000 merit number by sending 1 merit. Guess I’m bitter afterall.

How about we race to 3k merit club. Congratulations again!

Haha, so the competition and the human tendency to get more never ends xD

It never does lol. There are still legendary members requesting for the creation of a new rank that’s higher than Legendary.

[lovesmayfamilis]

My congratulations OP. But it's time to change the title of your theme. You've become legendary, meaning dreams come true often on this forum if you put in some effort.
I wish you all the best, rejoice with you, and want you to rise to the same level every year, albeit without an official name, nevertheless, achieving new heights and victories.

[skarais]

~~~

You've proven that the merit system won't make it difficult for anyone to move up in the rankings when the quality of posts and contributions are the benchmark. You are not the first to reach this stage and you are not the last to feel it, I mean there are a lot of people lining up to reach this milestone and they are on their way.

I'm just advice that you also help other users as others help you about merit. Your merit stats say you have 100+ sMerits still buried in your profile, so it would be great if you could spend them on other users to keep this system going. It doesn't matter how high your priority posts are, but keeping the system running is good.
