Happy 4th Anniversary to myself

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

It's quite a thing of joy that on this auspicious day (20th June) marks my 4th anniversary of been an active member of this forum, which happens to be the largest Bitcoin community in the entire universe, and as such I'm very happy and privileged to have gone this far despite all the challenge I faced while growing from a Newbie to now Hero member of this prestigious forum. Because I'm pretty sure all this wouldn't have been possible without hardwork and dedication, hence, I thought it will be wise for me to share this piece here as an avenue to encourage our upcoming Newbies that if I could achieved this results, they too can do it, but if only they are willing to be dedicated and work hard into actualizing their desired forum success. Because it is actually not rocket science, as this forum has it's tips and tricks, as only for the people who are willing to apply it, sees success. Hence, I thought it will be wise I share 5 important tips I learnt from this forum within my 4years of actively been here, and they are;

1. I got to understand that of all place on the internet, this forum is the best place to get reliable and authentic information about Bitcoin and everything related to it, both mining, knowledge and instant solution for whatever problem you might be facing.
2. I got to understand that obedience to the forum rules is a key factor to be successful here, because just as the forum frowns against plagiarism and the use of A.I for post creation, if you want to be successful, you must abide by this rules.
3. I also got to understand that our manner of approach and self discipline matters a lot in this forum, because since it is a community of diverse people across the globe. Most times, if you aren't self disciplined, you might end up in an unnecessary argument with people. Hence, it's best you learn to over-look certain things or people that might trigger your anger while engaging in forum discussion.
4. I also got to understand that joining a signature campaigns on this forum is not a right, but rather a privilege, and as such, if you are opporturned to be privilege to be in one, ensure to make good use of that opportunity.
5. I also got to understand that receiving merit is not myths as some newbies think, because if you are able to provide solutions to discussion as it affects either the forum or Bitcoin, you are literally see yourself getting merits as a reward for quality discussion.  

My Tips in General to Newbies

1. To be successful on this forum, it is advisable you do more reading than just posting here, because the more you read, the more you get to understand how the forum works.
2. To be successful on this forum, it is only advisable you post only when you have something meaningful to say. Because It is not compulsory you must post even when you have nothing meaningful to say, as you might be tagged a Spammer.
3. To be successful on this forum, especially for those who might be struggling with the use of English. It is advisable you use word/grammar assistance tool like "Grammerly" to aid your writing skills, as it helps to correct grammar and spelling errors.


However, here are a few Contribution I was able to make in regards to promoting Bitcoin and the forum in my 4yrs of been active here.

Teaching college students about Bitcoin

Touching the life of random poor kids with all my 3wks campaign BTC

And I'm currently hosting a Bitcoin price prediction on my local board to celebrate this 4th anniversary  4th Anniversary Bitcoin Price Prediction


Conclusion
In conclusion, I wish to encourage all newbies and upcoming members of this forum that if I and other members here on this forum could achieved success here, you too can do the same, if only you are willing to be consistent and hardworking. And back to our high rank members, I will like to say that just as I have celebrated my 4th year anniversary on this forum by sharing a few Bitcoin to newbies in my local board, if you too can emulate such strategy by gifting newbies in your local board too, it will go a long way to encouraging these newbies. Thank you.. Happy 4th Anniversary to me once again.

Congratulations on completing 4 years in the forum and achieving what you've achieved.

There are a few things I want to point out:

I'm pretty sure all this wouldn't have been possible with hard work and dedication

*Without

as this forum has it's tips and tricks, as only for the people who are willing to apply it, sees success.

I would like to know more about the tips and tricks you are referring to because I've always thought that all you need is to be original, helpful, and knowledgeable to grow in this community.

2. I got to understand that obedience to the forum rules is a key factor to be successful here, because just as the forum frowns against plagiarism and the use of A.I for post creation, if you want to be successful, you must abide by this rules.

Posting AI-generated posts is not against the forum rules, at least for now, even though it has been suggested to be added a few times, but hasn't been added yet, but it's true that it's frowned upon and those who are found doing that are neutral tagged as AI-spammers by DT members.

if you are able to provide solutions to discussion as it affects either the forum or Bitcoin, you are literally see yourself getting merits as a reward for quality discussion.

Posts in this forum that earn you merits can't affect Bitcoin but only the forum, as they are appreciated (given merits) by users because they are helpful within the forum. They might be helpful for users to understand certain things about Bitcoin, but they don't affect Bitcoin itself.


Well, other than that, everything you said is right, and good luck with whatever you are doing.

4 years of being active in the forum is not a day job. Many people who started the same journey of joining this forum as a newbie in 2021 have given up, some that remains haven't make an impact as you did. But here you are impacting crypto knowledge in and outside the forum and encouraging newbies not to give up and be their best self in the forum.

@CryptoHeadlineNews
I welcome you to the forum for four years, and thank you for your hard work and dedication, and for working tirelessly in this village for four long years, and for your ability to serve as a hero member of the forum. You have learned and gained a lot from the forum since you created your account in 2021. This Bitcoin forum is like a newspaper where committees from different countries around the world can express their thoughts in their own languages. This forum is like a classroom for newbies which is constantly teaching. Although there are differences between people in different countries of the world, there are differences between nations, there are wars and rebellions in different countries, yet we are like a family in this forum where there are no differences, no arguments and debates. I feel truly blessed to be a proud member of this forum and I am constantly learning from this forum as if it were a classroom for me.

Someone simply has to share it in this type of thread and I guess this time it has to be me. 



And yeah, happy bday. 

[yahoo62278]

I guess happy 4 years. I see a few post happy this and that but never seen happy 4th anniversary. 4 must be a special number to you?

haha that's what I am thinking.

[KingsDen]

I guess happy 4 years. I see a few post happy this and that but never seen happy 4th anniversary. 4 must be a special number to you?

I had to check my profile to discover that I missed my own 4th anniversary. Mine was 28th May. 4 is a special number.
See;
4 represents 4 years of halving
4 wise men from the east
4 halvings since the creation of bitcoin.
The 4-corners of the world
 

Someone simply has to share it in this type of thread and I guess this time it has to be me. 

Can we change this meme?
Let's replace Obama with Trump, it will be more fun because Trump does weird things than Obama.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Lol😆😆... I guess this is an irony right? Because how is it possible seeing myself awarding myself just as illustrated in the memes above.. I guess it would have been better if it was Trump or Theymos issuing the award. 😆😆

And yeah, happy bday.  

Thanks for your great wishes, I really do appreciate your kind gesture .


And likewise to the rest others who wished me happy 4th anniversary. I truly do appreciate you all, including your prayers and everything. I pray may Allah and God bless all of you.. Amen

I guess happy 4 years. I see a few post happy this and that but never seen happy 4th anniversary. 4 must be a special number to you?

Thanks for the wishes, and yes, 4 is actually a special number to me, and not just only me, but Bitcoin also in general, because we all know that the complete life cycle of Bitcoin is 4yrs (i.e halving), whereby it's 1st year is known to be a year of Halving, while the 2nd year is known to be a year of bull market, while 3rd year known to be a year of price correlation and lastly the 4th year known to be a year of Bear market and consolidation.

While secondly, the number 4 is significant to Bitcoin because we all know that we just experienced the 4th Bitcoin halving, whereby the first Bitcoin halving was in 2012, the second in 2016, third in 2020 and fourth in 2024.


But however, I chose to celebrate this year's anniversary simply because I noticed that nobody does that on this forum, and I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea if I be the first to kick-start such celebration through a Bitcoin price prediction contest as an avenue to encourage forum newbies and upcoming members who might have been active on this forum but lacks motivation. So that was my exact reason why I chose to celebrate this year's 4th Anniversary Bitcoin Price Prediction. And I will be very glad if other high ranking forum members could do the same. Thank you.

4 wise men from the east

The 4 WISE men were from nowhere to be found and the 3 wise men were from the East.

I also didn't want to be left behind, but I was thinking, because my birthday had passed I should have passed two weeks.

Looks like I have to wait for my baby to be born to wish a happy birthday, the baby is in the process.

Happy 4th Anniversary to myself

OP, I also want to congratulate you as long as you are here a period of 4 years, it's a big progress for you in understanding forums, especially Bitcoin.

Hope the following years will be the most beautiful adventure for you here.

[Rikafip]

4 wise men from the east

4? I always thought that there were 3 wise men. Unless we are talking about different things.

Can we change this meme?

Well, you can make your own version, share it around and see if it catches on.

~snip~

If he is talking about the 4 kings (wise men) who came to worship Jesus in Bethlehem, then perhaps he is right - because according to some records, the first Christians always celebrated the 4 kings (wise men), and later this was changed to the 3 wise men.


@CryptoHeadlineNews, congratulations on 4 years on the forum, although you should have waited for it to be a nice round number, like 5 for example

[OgNasty]

4 years...  You are officially 1 cycle old.  Congrats!

[Onyeeze]

This journey of forum is one kind journey, if you are not strong enough you will not continue the journey of forum, because they are of criticism, as a beginner you will not wish to continue when you have so many attacks in the forum, so anyone who passes the level of newbies need to be celebrated talk more of surviving for 4 years, many people have come and go from forum because of they couldn't meet up to the community standard, so it's privileged for so many of us to be here, once again I congratulate you for your journey because it's not easy.

[Fiatless]

Congratulations @CryptoHeadlineNews on your fourth anniversary on the forum. It's not easy to start the journey and continue for these years. I have introduced some people on the forum but they couldn't continue because they find it very difficult to understand how the forum operates. Maybe they are used to social media. It takes continuous learning,  patience, and dedication to climb the ranks in the forum. I wish you more fruitful years on the forum..

[Fiasem20]

Congratulations @CryptoHeadlinNews,it hasn't been an easy journey.I wish to celebrate an anniversary like you someday in the future,and that will come to pass if only I'll remain active on forum actitivies and keep to the rules of the forum.Even my little stay here has made me know more about the crypto industry and not only that but diverse information across the globe.The forum is indeed worth exploring.Once again congratulations on your 4th anniversary mate.

[robelneo]

Congratulations, brother. I would also post this if I reached this level in a short period of time and contributed a lot of good information here in Bitcointalk.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in the Legendary role, and I believe it will not be long.

[SatoPrincess]

It’s rare to see someone celebrating 4 years on the forum, your post made me check your profile and realize that I will also be 4 years in September. Like the saying goes "Time without impact is waste" OP you have done so much to push bitcoin adoption in your local community in four years, I can’t wait to see what you will do in the next 4 years. Happy 4th anniversary!
