10 years of Bitcointalk (and Bitcoin)

[joker_josue]

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.

I've always been very focused on the Portuguese tab of the forum, so even in the beginning I hardly noticed much. But I remember seeing some of your topics at the time! Fortunately for you, who had more forum focus than I did, and managed to grow faster! Congratulations also on your 10 years.

Regarding buying bitcoin, I am completely in agreement. I remember being disappointed at the time that I didn't get into bitcoin sooner. The worst, I don't know if that was your case, the first time I heard about bitcoin was in 2010-2011. If we had known the valuation it would have, we would certainly have invested more.




EDIT:
Thanks for all the comments I've been getting! Thank you very much.

Congratulations on being active in the forum for 10 years. You have been with the forum for 10 long years often 1 century. Old users like you are rarely seen. So you are one of the few old members, stay with us for a long time.  And if two years are completed, then it will be an era to be with this forum.

[KingsDen]

Congratulations to you.
10 good years is not a child's play.
If it is a company you should know your level in that company by now.
If it is an institution, you should have graduated and also try to become a lecturer in the institution.
Now it is bitcointalk, you are a legend.
It is not easy.
Because some of the oldies left the forum at one point or the other when there was problems of spamming and the rest of it, but you endured and enjoyed the good old days till this moment.

This is pure passion and I congratulate you for that. May I ask, how many more years do you wish to stay here?

Perhaps the fact that it has some less active periods, allowed me not to get that shock of excessive spam and things like that. But even though I'm less active, I've never really been disconnected from the forum.

How many years do I intend to stay here? At this moment I have no intention of leaving, on the contrary. So I hope to stay here for a few more good years!

Congratulations, I will not fail to congrate you because it's not easy to spend ten years in something doing that means you known all the rules and cranium of this environment, but one thing is in any that concerns technology have no infinity because it will always upgrading or updating in future, if not such principles I would have say that you known it all of anything concerning or relating to bitcoin as well. Congrats again to stay in forum up to this time because not everyone that join forum exercise patients to grow up to your level.

[joker_josue]

...if not such principles I would have say that you known it all of anything concerning or relating to bitcoin as well.

I don't know everything! I consider myself a beginner in this sense.
There is still a lot to learn in this chapter, and I am always learning. Because a lot changes over time.

[Mpamaegbu]

And I can say first hand that I am preparing something that I believe you will like.

If it's a feast, count me in. If it's orgy, nah 🤪

Congrats, JJ! A decade isn't child's play. It's a milestone. I look forward to mine too. I'm already six here. It's been a wonderful and thrilling experience in most cases with little skirmishes I would say for me. Like you, my Bitcoin experience also began here. I hope to be much better by the time I clock 10 here too.

[Adbitco]

I know is not easy to be on a long run as far as 10 years being here.
Do I say you are a supper Hero?
Anyway congratulations for being an active member of this great platform.

Congratulations joker_josue, you have been on bitcointalk and on the BTC network for 10 years, it is a long time and for you to still be here shows you love the forum and BTC, even if you have been inactive sometimes, hopefully nothing takes you out of the forum for a long time again. It is good you can share this milestone with us, and hopefully when you celebrate 20 years on the forum i would still be here to witness it, and also celebrate whatever milestone i would have achieved then. Cheers.

Congratulations @joker_josue
This forum was developed on the Bitcointalk.org domain on 2011-06-24, about 11 years 9 months 23 days ago from today. then you opened the account 10 years ago.  You are an old man on this forum 
It's not easy to stay active for 10 years on a forum where thousands of old accounts are inactive. You are truly a real hero

That's nice to know. There is actually no reason to leave the stage at this time. Here is not greedy to steal all your time. You can manage here with whatever things you are doing offline. I don't think you can leave any moment hence you are passionate about here.

...if not such principles I would have say that you known it all of anything concerning or relating to bitcoin as well.

There is still a lot to learn in this chapter, and I am always learning. Because a lot changes over time.

There are alot of changes but the basics doesn't change. The network is there and maybe introduction of scalability protocols like SegWit, Taproot, Ln etc. Many things remains stable in the network.

[reagansimms]

10 years, that's quite a long time. You're one of the few survivors on the forums and have been through all sorts of waves over the last 10 years. Everything you learn here is something that is not sold outside the forum, while you are here you have grown a lot thanks to the help of people in this community.
Then it's your turn to help the juniors and share with them the knowledge you've gained, this cycle will continue to spin without anyone coordinating because the people who join the forum are always welcoming and very friendly to newcomers. Continue to be active here to help low rank users, your contribution will be invaluable to them.

Congratulations! 10 years on Bitcointalk is big milestone. I never thought that you registered here so long time ago. It's probably because in past you weren't that active on English boards here, so, I didn't noticed you. When you signed up here in 2013, I probably heard word Bitcoin, but had no clue about it. So, next goal is 20 years here?
P.S. As I understand, website that you promoted in your very first post is still yours?

If I'm still here 10 years from now, I think that's an excellent sign for all of us!

I found it curious, that you said that, it was so long ago, that I had to go check what the website was.
Yes, one of the sites is still mine: www.maisfacil.com 
The other site mentioned is no longer mine. The project ended around 2015.

But within weeks, I will have a new website to present, thinking about Bitcointalk. 

[Huppercase]

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.

Your journey deserves a medal, I wonder how many days you will have spent online in the Forum, that's sharing almost part of your life here. Imagine watching bitcoin grows and fall multiple times, there are big stories to write about.

By the way, your account was registered in 2013 and noticed your profile had just earned 2013 merit. Here is the screenshot below, perhaps by the time you come online, it would have change if you earn merit.

Thanks for this capture, it really is a good combination:
> year of registration - 2013;
> number of merits - 2013 (at the same time that I am doing the 10 years of registration)

[Ndabagi01]

Congratulations on this impressive achievement. I chose the word impressive because you've just impressed me enough to look forward to your type of achievement after being a part of bitcoin and the bitcoin community for the past ten years and yet continuing to support and promote the use of bitcoin in your own unique way.

joker_josue is not a new name to me on the forum; I've seen your posts before, and I must commend your efforts to actively contribute to the forum. I hope to progress as far in this forum as you have, and then I'll celebrate my ten-year anniversary in a couple of years, just like you have. We’ll be waiting for your presentation to the forum in a few weeks.

[CryptSafe]

Congratulations on this successful milestone achieved. You are such a revered member here. You have contributed to this platform immensely and I commend your efforts to making sure things go right on this platform. This is a dream come true. I so much cherish this achievements and would also want to play the same route as you did to achieving this height here and I pray for the grace as I see it is not as I think it is. Your contributions speaks of great volume and it is still speaking for you here and it will continue to as it has a good effect on members and the platform.
Once again congratulations.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

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.

Good point--length of membership is not even close in terms of importance as activity (at least on this forum; and then there's also the yardstick of merits).  Good 'ol joker_josue making just over 10k posts is pretty damn impressive.  I just checked BPIP and he ranks 137th for most posts, and if you consider the mind-blowing number of members bitcointalk has, that's something to brag about in a bar....where nobody will know what the hell he's talking about.  Lol.

Congrats on 10 years, OP!  I think 2013 is when bitcointalk first came on my radar, and I wish I'd been more aware of it back then--and bought a lot of it.  Here's hoping you backed up the truck in those days that were long before lockdowns, inflation, and a generally more miserable world.  If you did, I'm sitting hunched over at the keyboard in the greenest envy.

Unfortunately it could have done more.

It was a good time to buy and invest, but it was also a time of change in mining and everything was still pretty new for almost everyone. So, there were several types of voices that were sometimes difficult for those who had just arrived to make decisions.

Either way, I don't regret anything! I know I could have gone further, but that's okay. By the way, I only regret not having invested more in mining. I'm sorry, I followed the idea that GPU mining didn't pay off because of the ASIC.

But it's all an experience, and today the person is more prepared for what we have today and what we will have in the future.

PS.: I also regret having spent some periods outside the forum. But here we are now with everything.
