The journey of bitcointalk is a journey of gradual process, when you look around you will see that may has registered in the bitcointalk and their are unable to achieve any milestone in bitcointalk because of challenges, I thank almighty for me to reach members rank after all challenges I faced both sickness and losing my phone, the one of losing my phone is the one that would have discouraged me mostly from bitcointalk, but I insisted and continued using my sisters phone to login my account in forum
It’s good achievement for you OP and just as you mentioned it’s a gradual process something so gradually you will achieve greater heights in the forum as you wish but the most important thing is not just moving up the ranks but also put all you have learned into good use here on the forum and you should let your knowledge speak for you here and not be the type that has a high rank profile with the knowledge of a member rank.
Challenges faced are what make us strong and want to keep fighting in order to achieve our goals and it’s the same spirit here, I seriously congratulate you on your latest achievement i hope you won’t let it get into your head and feel relaxed.
Today I'm a member and I'm excited to see myself to this rank, I will stand to celebrate another milestone in the forum which I know very well, so when I looked at my ranked up I get more courage, I want to everyone to not lose hope in what they are doing, because their is some things that will stand as obstacles when you want to know what you don't
Earning merits and unlocking new activities is not everything in this forum, your contributions is all that matters so I would ask you, if you eventually achieve the highest rank here which I believe is your goal here so what’s next?
What will you be doing in the forum, how will you feel when you finally achieve your goal.
