This is a significant day not only for you, but for the entire community as a whole. I have the impression that most of bitcointalk has been watching Ratimov's rank update in anticipation of Legendary with bated breath, myself included. The longer and more difficult the path, the sweeter the taste of victory.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. In addition, I constantly warmed up interest in this topic, since the situation itself was rather unusual. Because of this, some people even argued for money when I will receive this rank and how much I can earn merit before that. Personally, I thought it was about 4k, but this situation got out of hand.

~~Middle age~~ high rank crisis?

Don't be sad about it. After a while you will see new goals and achievements.

No, no, all sorts of crises, depressions, and so on, this is not about me. I'm quite cheerful. I meant that there is nowhere else to grow, all ranks have been achieved, merit has been earned beyond measure. It remains only to maintain this pace.

Congratulations Ratimov. I could use the same words about this forum. This forum is basically a hobby to me.

This is where bitcoin became more than a speculative investment to me. Today, I can say that bitcoin changed my life, my plans, and even my future perspective about it. I am not a slave of my job to get money anymore, I am not completely free but I can smell the freedom.
And this forum somewhat helped me make it possible.

I spend many hours a day here, which I share with many of you guys. I have "only" 109 days online (which is little compared to you), and I am sure it was a nice time in most of it.

Thanks, bitmover. Yes, this place is really already like a hobby, where you want to spend time with enthusiasm. This is the secret to success, treat this place not as a means of earning money, but as a hobby where you can learn and communicate, and then you will get much more from this place than from the original goal of making money on this forum.
