It's great that after all these years you're still active on this forum, which isn't often seen among the old guys around, and stay true to the BTC-community. Very few here can boast a similar result.

I wish you a long and active forum life, so that you continue to benefit the people around you and share your invaluable experience. 12 years in the ranks of the bitcoiners is quite impressive and significant. Please accept my congratulations.

I just noticed the little birthday icon on my profile indicating that today is the day I signed up for Bitcointalk!

Let me show everyone so they don't bother checking your profile.

Today I checked he's profile and didn't see this icon. Was it temporary?

Yes, it's only shown on the birthdays.

Ognasty, congrats!

Nah, that was edited by _BlackStar. He added that icon manually and took a screenshot to post it here.

@OgNasty, Congratulations, Man. Spending a decade on an online forum is incredible. I don't know if you ever exposed your real name or identity. I assume you are still an anonymous guy in this forum. Being anonymous and being online for a decade is not an easy job. I am glad to see that you are still interested in this forum. As I said in another thread, people might lose interest after some time. There are a lot of legendary accounts that have been inactive for a while now. We don't know if they will ever be back or not. Maybe they lose interest in the forum.

You are one of the assets of this forum. Holding 500 BTC for a long time while it has touched its ATH proves how trusted you are. In 2017, BTC was $19K, while 500 BTC was 9.5 Million Dollars. That was a considerable amount. I respect you for your honesty OgNasty.

Yes, it's only shown on the birthdays.
Ognasty, congrats!

I guess you are joking! No? Does it show the birthday cake?

Edit: Oh, It does. I changed my birthday date to check it and look at my profile.

An extraordinary achievement for an elder.
I'm 5+ here and 6 years is a significant time difference between us for various achievements, especially you have more opportunities to collect bitcoin units in large denominations easily.
Still 100+ journeys for bitcoin to be complete mined, and in those years all of us who are today would be considered old (legendary) regardless of account rank.

Congratz! What made you interested in Bitcoin so early?

There isn’t just a single reason really. I liked a lot of things about Bitcoin when I first discovered it. The free transactions (once upon a time), no clawbacks, a limited number of coins, being able to mine at home, and it being open source software. Plus it was being traded 24/7 and the community was friendly and supportive. It was clear to see it was going places.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I see a few people mentioning my negative feedback. All I can really say about that is it is a bit disgraceful that so many default trust members include users like Vod in their trust networks who publicly tried to extort me. As with everything nowadays, corruption at the highest levels.

Looks like you already are aware of currency trading before BTC. Mining at home with just graphic cards I think was the greatest opportunity for the early birds.

There are Bitcoin users who were only aware how money works after BTC actually like me, its why we joined around 2016. We only learned it on Andreas Antonop that money becomes money when something is accepted by a community. Congrats again.

Congratulations OgNasty for this big accomplishment! 12 years is a big time and I haven't seen you inactive on the forum for the last couple of months. Users like you what motivates us to be active here. I have been trying to but it requires a lot of time to dedicate oneself to the forum. I hope to see you active and healthy for the coming 12 years. Thanks for being an inspiration for users like me.

[elevates]

What an unbelievable achievement and an accomplishment @OgNasty. I congratulate for your commitment and dedication to the forum. Apart from the management you might be the only active member from the early days. You are one of those members of this forum who have witnessed it all. I am grateful that I can reply on this thread about an achievement which we all new to the forum can dream of. You to date commitment to the community is admired. I hope to hear from you when you achieve the next milestone of 20 years.

[lovesmayfamilis]

This is really a big event—one might say an era. And the way you have stayed in this forum for such a long time says that this place is unique and amazing. Frankly, I myself am surprised at the constancy of users to the forum because now that the Internet is so vast, most of us still spend our time in this place.
Let me express my respect to you as an experienced member of the forum. I think that one day we will be able to celebrate the next 12 years of your being on the forum.

[Compromise me]

The icon is displayed for the full 24 hours as usual for any birthday user - but due to the time zone difference you may have missed it. Don't worry - it's not edited image as John Abraham previously said. The image you see is screenshot of the OP's profile after this thread was created.

@OgNasty, your trust feedback can explain how valuable you are among forum users so far. I realize there's some negative feedback you've gotten over the years, but because you have such a high green trust rating, people are bound to respect you in the same way.

We have heard and know some of the things that have made you successful in the last 12 years, but would you also tell us what was your biggest challenge during the last 12 years of being on this forum. But before that, happy 12th birthday to you, @OgNasty.

[JollyGood]

I just noticed the little birthday icon on my profile indicating that today is the day I signed up for Bitcointalk!  Pretty amazing really that it's been a dozen years now.  I guess that sort of makes me one of the old guys around here.  It's been a pretty crazy ride, but I'll admit it hasn't been all that surprising.  12 years ago I signed up for this crazy forum to learn more about this new decentralized currency with a limit on the number of coins that can be produced.  I wanted to take part immediately and went from trading things for BTC, to mining, to helping others trade, then helping others mine who aren't able (through my community organization), and eventually creating cool products.  It's been an amazing ride with a lot of interesting speedbumps along the way

We have not really engaged in the forum as we mostly post in different boards and/or threads but that should not stop me (or anybody else) in taking the opportunity to at the very least to congratulate you on the 12th anniversary of you being a member in the forum. That 12 year anniversary is an incredible mark to reach and it has to be said it is a very impressive one.

but still we roll on.  

Yes you do roll on and we do too and the years keep rolling by for us all therefore raising a glass to yourself and all the rest that are have stayed around making this forum what it is today.

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. I see a few people mentioning my negative feedback. All I can really say about that is it is a bit disgraceful that so many default trust members include users like Vod in their trust networks who publicly tried to extort me. As with everything nowadays, corruption at the highest levels.

I never really fully understood what was going on during that period as I was not posting in those boards but I did discuss this with a member last year (I think) where he provided some links to various posts from years ago to try to get an understanding of what happened back then but it was still not fully clear even after I had a brief look. Anyway, that is another topic for another day I guess and for now all that can be said is congratulations to you on celebrating 12 years here.

What you achieved here with what I see as 94+ positive feedback is remarkable therefore you should enjoy the moment.

We really need some Extra Legendary users like you. Thanks a lot again and Congratulations on be half of Bangladeshi users.

[KingsDen]

I guess that sort of makes me one of the old guys around here.

Congrats Grandpa 
That's 4380+ days of your life spent in this forum! Definitely one for the books!
Now you only need 4,740+ days to reach your Silver jubilee.

Hey julerz12, you are wrong in your calculations. Og didn't spend that number of days in the forum. There were days, weeks and maybe months he didn't login to the forum. If you really want to know how many days of Og's life spent in the forum, you have to ask him to share the login time in his profile. It will be interesting to see.

Congratz! What made you interested in Bitcoin so early?

I see a few people mentioning my negative feedback. All I can really say about that is it is a bit disgraceful that so many default trust members include users like Vod in their trust networks who publicly tried to extort me. As with everything nowadays, corruption at the highest levels.

As the years go on, the chances of people like Vod and Lauda to be in the DT will reduce no matter how popular they were. For instance, someone like me who didn't meet any of them wouldn't add them to my trust list. But the issue is, whence only one DT1 member still have them in their trust list, their strength remains.
However, if they have made mistakes in one or two trust feedbacks, they can be correct in other ones. Maybe seeing them in the DT will remind members of different things about them.
