I was invited to join the forum by my colleague, who invested in bitcoin one year before me. He taught me basics about bitcoin, and told me that the forum is a best place to learn about bitcoin. After that, I created the account on November 08, 2017, 06:22:57 AM. And for the early months on the forum, I simply read.
About 2 months later, merit appeared in the forum, and I was a old-era newbie when merit system began in 2018. What happened after that is my history (see below table). It took me ~ 14 months to become a Full Member (on 21 Jan 2019). One year and 3 days later, I have 1212 merits that I would have never epxected in 2019, on the day I was a Full member. The last month, more than 200 merits came to me.
I earned my 600th merits on 9th September 2019.
I earned my 700th merits on 2nd October 2019.
I earned my 1000th merits on 21th December 2019.

Congrats mate!
This is really impressive. I bet you worked hard and did a good job in helping people around, a lot of people.
Keep up the good work!
On topic: Google search "Bitcoin", "What is bitcoin?", etc. and landing in here was something inevitable I think.
