What's your proudest achievement?

What have you guys done in your lifetime that you guys can consider your proudest achievement? For me I think it'd some of the awards I have gotten in sports, but I am also pretty proud of my computer I built with my own money. So friends of Sinisterly, what do you guys consider your prized accolade in your life?

Surviving the Endless Eight watching the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
Probably opening my computer and getting all of the dust out of it so that it would stop shutting down whenever it felt like it. I did it today and I can say that it worked. I successfully played a game of Age of Empires III after fixing my computer and that would not been possible if I had not fixed it.
Other than that, probably writing a 120-page book about Smash Bros. when I was 10. It doesn't have an ending, though. None of my comics or anything have endings. Only one, which was forced, albeit hilarious.

But one thing is for sure, I'm proud to be an American.

Probably actually getting into a University and making my family proud. This is a kind of hard thing to think about. I usually don't take the time to be proud of things. Usually I begin to feel like I'm over inflating my ego over frivolous things when I do so.

That was a painful experience but I did it for the love. Reading it was worse because I didn't know of it before then.

I can honestly say that I have nothing I'm 100% proud of yet. There are small victories that I relish in at the moment, but nothing that I hold with me for my entire lifespan...yet.

Stealing a fortune (125 BTC) from a huge scammer and being set for life thereafter.

That's not actually that much. $50,000 is around the average income of Americans. @Reiko got around $65,000.

It was higher when I got it, and will continue to rise long-term.
If you think Bitcoin will always be $500-700 you're fucking stupid.

Let's not turn this into a BTC debate thread @Reiko, @Adorapuff and @Oni.
