10 years of Bitcointalk (and Bitcoin)

[joker_josue]

I just completed 10 years of Bitcointalk, and in turn 10 years since I entered the world of bitcoin. This topic aims to thank all members of this community, which gave me the possibility to know and learn more about this fantastic technology.

It is true that there were periods away from the forum, but in general I was never really away, just less active. In the last 2 years I've spent more time on the forum, and I've been trying to help with some aspects that I've learned over the years. I'm a very distracted person, and that's why I can sometimes not remember common things, which have even been said several times, but that doesn't bother me to participate based on what I know.

If over this time, I did something that may have hurt or disappointed someone, I apologize in advance. I like to get along with everyone, even though I know this isn't always easy. English is not my strong point, so sometimes I may not be able to explain things in the best way, or I may be misunderstood. Thank you for your understanding.

I'd like to be more active in other areas of the forum, but I don't have time for more. 
I look forward to continuing to help the community in whatever way I can.

And I can say first hand that I am preparing something that I believe you will like. In a few weeks, I hope to be able to make a presentation.

Many thanks to everyone and to this fantastic BitcoinTalk community!

Congratulations joker_josue.

How I wish to have known about this forum and bitcoin since many years ago, but I only know about these just like it is never yet long. I wish you have progressed very well in life, most importantly if you have been accumulating bitcoin, this would have not disappointed you.

I hope it is never too long for people like me.

Congratulations @ joker_josue



10 years ago today you started your glorious journey on Bitcoin Forums. Looks like you've spent ten full years on this bitcoin forum. I will not be short by thanking you because with your 10 years of experience in this forum you have served the forum with your talent, thought and love. Bitcoin forums are still alive today because of experienced and reputable users like you. Veterans like you are always needed on the legendary forums. Your contribution can never be denied, your contribution will always be remembered.

Congrats on your achievement. Ten years is a long time to spend anywhere, and you did spend 10 years here, which is magnificent. We don't see that many old members in this forum, so it is undoubtedly a big achievement.

I think your English is perfect and totally understandable, thats why you can come this long way.

Cheers and Enjoy

That's an impressive achievement. Registering an account for almost a decade won't be an achievement. But You have written almost 10K(9864) posts in ten years—986 Posts per year and 82 Posts per month on average. Your Contribution to the forum is remarkable.

If over this time, I did something that may have hurt or disappointed someone, I apologize in advance. I like to get along with everyone,

I can't remember if I was engaged with you on any other thread. But I have to say that I have never felt hurt or sad reading your posts so far. So it's all good.

I'd like to be more active in other areas of the forum, but I don't have time for more.

Everyone has a personal life outside this forum. It's not necessary to spend your valuable time here. The forum shouldn't be anyone's priority. It will affect your personal life if you take it too seriously. Be on the forum whenever you can.  

Fun Fact: I noticed that you registered on April 11, 2013, at 06:35:49 PM (Forum Time).
You published this post on April 11, 2023, at 06:50:28 PM (Forum time). Maybe you started writing at 06:35:49 PM?

[joker_josue]

Thank you for everyone's comments.
I will continue to do my best.

Probably. I'm not 100% sure when I started writing this topic, but it must have been around that time, yes. 

By chance, a few weeks ago, when I noticed the day/time that was 10 years old, I marked it on my calendar to create a topic at that moment. I saw that it was a day/time that I could schedule to do this, and so here it is.

Milestones for such a long journey on the bitcointalk forum, actually this is never easy to go through and sometimes where we experience ups and downs of being bored with being active on the forum but now you seem to be focusing again on giving your best to benefit others this is of course we expect a long time on the forum for other activities.

The fact that I have been in this forum for almost 9 years and slightly different from you for more than 1 year means that we have been in this forum for a long time, of course we are very happy.

So, Congratulations joker_josue. 

[Lucius]

I congratulate you on your first 10 years on the forum, and I wish you to celebrate a new anniversary one day, of course 20 years would be very nice

I'm a little younger than you when it comes to registration, but soon it will be 8 years since I registered, and even more than 9 years when I first found this forum. Given that it happens that some old members leave the forum for various personal reasons, it is good to see that we have members who have been active for such a long time and are still actively participating in the work of the forum.

I don't want to speak in general, but with regard to AI chat-bots, it seems to me that lately we have more and more bot-members and that in 10 years (if the forum exists), there won't be too much human interaction on the forum.

[hugeblack]

Congratulations, but we cannot say that you have been here for 10 years, I checked your posts and you did not post anything from 2016 to 2021, which is almost 5 years, and then a very strange activity.
You have created 466 pages of writing, and although I have been active since 2017, the number of pages is 462.
you created posts that I made over the past 7 years in a period of 3 years.

What happened during those years?

[joker_josue]

What happened during those years?

I started in 2013 and was pretty active, then reduced a bit during 2014-2016. Despite that I was nevertotally away, I just didn't participate even though I visited the forum just to read a few things.

In 2017 I had to make some changes in my life, nothing serious, but it took a lot of time (I moved house 3 times, changed jobs 2 times). So I ended up staying a little further away from the forum, even though sometimes visit it for small readings, it wasn't participatory.

So, even though it hasn't been active for all these 10 years, this forum has never been off my radar.

First I would like to congratulate you on this milestone achievement, 10 years on bitcointalk is a lot to me. I'm just imagining what it was like getting to know about this forum way back in 2013, when it hasn't gain much popularity, and now look at where it is today. I hope I would be able to make some meaningful contribution like you're doing in my time here.

[yudi09]

This is a journey that I can say long. Of course you encountered many things when you started until now so I would like to say a sentence to you with congratulations joker_josue.

If over this time, I did something that may have hurt or disappointed someone, I apologize in advance. I like to get along with everyone, even though I know this isn't always easy. English is not my strong point, so sometimes I may not be able to explain things in the best way, or I may be misunderstood. Thank you for your understanding.

If on your way to starting a forum there are people who are hurt and disappoint, I'm sure it's not because of an intentional thing you did.
Naturally, each of us has faults. So it's not just you.

And I can say first hand that I am preparing something that I believe you will like. In a few weeks, I hope to be able to make a presentation.

Of course we are looking forward to it 

[macson]

congratulations on your 10 year journey on the bitcointalk forum, time flies so fast.

i have been in this forum for more than 2 years since i first registered, the interaction created in this forum is extraordinary, many extraordinary things are posted on this forum.

[m2017]

10 years is a long way to go, but I hope this is just the beginning for you.
May this anniversary day also be marked for you with a round figure of 2000 merits and I will make my modest contribution to this.
Congratulations on being loyal to bitcointalk community for 10 years now and breaking the 2000 merit bar. I wish you continue to pay attention to this forum, even if you become a millionaire. Having been 10 years of bitcoin, you should definitely become one in the near future.

You are right about one thing, every user has a different way of life which allows them to not always actively participate in forums. Of course I don't think that's bad because when there are more important things out there taking a break is a wise option to consider. But anyway, your last statement made it very clear that you have no intention of leaving the forum despite not being active in discussions for a long time.

To celebrate, please accept congratulations for your loyalty over the past 10 years to bitcointalk forum. Amazingly, 2000 merit have enlivened your celebration.

[dragonvslinux]

Congratulation on 2000 merits also!

I did get the impression you were a newer member like me, from around 2017 maybe, as only really started to notice your posts in the past year, so this definitely helps to explain things.

Congrats on your 10 years anyway, a decade must feel like a long time here. It's nice to hear your activity has returned to the forum after lengthy absences 

[salad daging]

A decade is a long time but today you have reached history to commemorate it, I guess the days of the journey through the years will never be forgotten.

I admire people who last a long time in the forum, even though many of you are more than happy with this, the joy of the journey reaching a decade, who knows how long to stay here when you can still do it, don't ever leave because the forum has become our habit to look for. bitcoin related information and other news.

I will try to stick around for a long time and now the forum is getting more interesting for us to dig up as much useful information.

2000 merit new record and has been noted on the meta board by me.

I thank you for every merit I earned! Without the community I would not have reached this level.

I really understand, thinking that, but maybe I noticed it more because I've always posted little in the international tabs. Just the one year thing is that I started to be much more active on the international tabs. But, now that I'm used to it, it will be to continue.

[EFS]

Congrats on your achievement. I thought you were a newer member as you had less activity but your account is older than mine.
This is also my tenth year here. Time goes fast. Back then, we thought we were too late to buy Bitcoin. I hope we can see many more decades with Bitcoin and this forum.

[Upgrade00]

Your account isn't one that comes to mind when I think of really old forum users, thus is likely cause you were a but inactive at the time I registered and seemed to pop out of nowhere for users that were not here during the early days.

I shall be 5 years registered on the forum later this year, double that is really impressive. Good you still find reasons to log in here and browse around.
