Powering up My Account (July HPUD)

in Hive Power3 days ago

This month has been really good, and I am happy to be back writing again.

One thing I noticed is that it doesn't feel like a month already, but I guess that's a side effect of writing every day. I always found that I remembered things much better, because I am physically putting days or events into words after the fact, and sometimes during.

Last Month

I powered up my account to over 20k Hive, which is some of the earnings I made through some successful trades during (The Bull Market), if it can be called that.

Through earnings, I have raised my stake to 22,324HP

There was about $40 in HBD sitting in savings, so I decided to convert that into Hive and stake it, which brings me up to somewhere in the range of 23,400HP, so I am only halfway to Orca, which will be really cool.

During my time away from writing, I felt a bit strange when I came back here sporadically because I felt deflated, as my account at the time was kind of empty.

I am feeling much better since powering up, so I'm going to continue to do so during each HPUD, and when money gets straightened out, I will be putting some in here and there to bring myself up to my Orca goal.

Here We Go


My New Stake


By next month's HPUD, I would like to be above 25k, and depending on how much money I have available, I could potentially get well above that.

I know there has been some stress recently on Hive, and I have felt it myself, but yesterday I was thinking about it, and I genuinely believe things are going to be okay.

My rationale is that too many people have built too much to just give up, and too many have too much to lose by letting Hive die.

Yes, we hit all-time lows, which is scary, but I figured it is a good price to buy at and build up a stake.

I wish I had more disposable income, though, because I think I will be kicking myself in the future when looking back at this period.

Nice power up. I think a lot of people have more invested here than just funds. We have connections and content we care about. All the development is good to see too. Despite that Hive is still tiny and has its issues, but I think it is something special. I just don't know how things will go with crypto in general. The hype has moved to AI, but they are different things.

Thanks man, I agree, Hive is special and I think it is fairly safe, especially compared to other chains. It's just a hunch, but I think it has too many people who care too much to see it just fade away.

There are certainly issues, and with the price being what it is currently it is easy to get swept away with doom and gloom, but having thought about it rationally I find that I am optimistic about our future

Great power up ! I'm glad to see you're back writing, I missed seeing the great stuff you create 😀 I reckon you'll be an Orca long before I get there 😁
