Aiming for 50k HIVE. Monthly Update.

avatar



This will be my ongoing monthly series for the next 18 months as I try to build my account to orca. I started off the journey from the 1st June 2020 an my full goal is to own 1 Bitcoin and 50K Hive.

That is still my full goal over the course of the 18 months but I have decided that my first focus will be to get to Orca and then work on the bitcoin from those profits. I will still stack satoshi's where possible but it won't be my first priority. Until then I will be powering up as much HIVE as possible to reach my first goal while the prices are still low.

With all the development and promotion happening on the chain now, i can see a future where we will regret not picking up more HIVE at 20c. That might only be a faint dream at this stage which will never materialize but I will plan accordingly either way.

With that in mind I've spend this month scraping together all the bits and pieces of shitcoins that I had stored around the place. The airdrops and bits that I have no idea where they came from.

I'm loving the new site from the Leofinance team which gives more insight into our accounts and gains.

Account Growth

You can see a nice stepped account growth from four weeks of power downs that I have mostly put back into HIVE. I also picked up about 15k of Socios as they seem to have good potential but mostly HIVE.

The last big jump is from powering up all the other bits that I had around the place.

I sold all of my steemhunt tokens for about 60 HIVE
I had built up about 1000 BAT from other sites and with that token having a run against HIVE dropping a bit I thought it was a good time to swap them over.
A lot of my exchange accounts had $10 of random bit and pieces which I turned into HIVE and power those up too.

Some of those coins have been sitting there for 2 years doing nothing or losing value where as now they will be earning me curation rewards throughout the month and keeping up my growth.



Account Activity

This second chart is far more interesting to me as I know myself that I haven't been as active as I would like and it shows in my rewards.

I've put together a couple of posts and hitting my actifit 6/7 days a week has kept me ticking over but life is busy and with the power downs from the other chain I think I got a bit lazy about the daily hustle. Twitter has taken up a good bit of my time as well which often distracts em when I am sitting at the computer.

This month I will try to get back into good habits and have an idea to get me going again. I feel that it's all about consistency and if you take a break it's very hard to get back into those posting habits.



Targets

Bitcoin:

This will be my long standing goal until the 1/01/2022 and while I have no fear of attaining my HIVE goals over that time. There is a lot of black on the Bitcoin chart and it will depend on price activity over that period as well.

The one thing that I never do is to try and maximize my curation rewards. I know that some people plan to get in ahead of popular authors and earn that way but I tend to take the opposite approach. I try to vote for more accounts and smaller accounts across the communities. I think that it's important to encourage them for posting and I know how hard it is to get noticed in the beginning.

That's it after month 1.

Looking forward to a more active July and hopefully a lot more growth.

Good work powering up all this Hive man and 50k HP goal sure seems reachable!
It's also in my plans to own 1 bitcoin but this won't be happening soon for me! hehehe!

Thanks man. I enjoy the hustle. Always have since i joined and tried to get my first 300 HP back in the day. Took about 6 months back then as there was very poor curation for new accounts. Things were so busy that it was easy to get lost in the spam.

That's why I'm aiming to get 50k HP first and then I can start to buy up a little bitcoin every week form the earnings. A lot depends on price as I will be doing it organically and not investing any fiat into the challenge.

They sound like some good goals!

I do love a progress tracker.

I can't swap my alts for Hive, not at a 90% loss for most of them, I may as well just hang on to them, you never know!

Thanks.
The fun is in the hustle.

i like challenging myself every month and trying to make some gains anywhere that I can. I have a few other little bits to sell but from now on it will be mostly just posting and affiliate links to build up the account. This is where the hard work starts.

I would have done more but there were some great deals on @splinterlands that I couldn't pass up on. Bought a good few untamed gold summoners to try and build up to a level 7 deck for tournaments. It will take a while but got some bargains.

Wow, gold summoners, that's bold, I don't do gold.

I'm holding off on buying those bot sell-offs, there's two accounts competing each other downwards!

There's only a couple more cards I want anyway.

I try to go with as much gold as possible for the tournaments. I find it the best place to compete for prizes as most people only have a few gold and not a full set.

I don't have and legendary but my common and rare set would be fairly strong. It gets me through a good few matches.

Plus I like shiny things. 😂

Interesting, totally different strategy to mine, I go for legendaries and the only gold I play regularly is my Chicken!

Glad it's working out for you!

Looking good!

There is some good curation trails out there.
I use @project.hope for this account and @hodlcommunity for @worldhelper.

Since I am also quite busy at the moment and its just neat :D

Ya the 50k is very reachable and hopefully by this xmas I will get there. Then there is the challenge to get 1 bitcoin which could be worth up to another 50k hive or more depending on the markets going forward. That's where the biggest challenge will be.

Thanks. I'd seen something about the community on twitter but as always there is so much happening here that it's hard to keep up. I'll have to look into it again at some stage and see what's happening.

I'm thinking about similar things like you... not to chase Orca, as I'm too far from that, but in BTC-HIVE relation...

I'm in a bit opposite position with a bit more BTC and less HIVE at the moment, but thinking about getting into Hive more...

On the other side, if history repeats, BTC is always doing bull run first, while others are going more down until one point when the switch happens...

And now there are 2 choices... Do what you are doing, going into Hive, earning on curation rewards in the "meantime", and eventually (doesn't have to be the case) lose something in USD value if Hive goes a bit more down...

Or do the opposite and buy Hive when it dips in portions with BTC... waiting for the "final" bottom... :)

I'm shooting for orca now but this is three years on the grind. I had lots of fun aiming for 100, 500, 1k,2k,10k and 20k over the years. This was all built on hard work and consistently growing over time. Plus I enjoy it. Otherwise there would be no point in doing it for the few dollars. You need to love what you do. I already have one job, don't need another.

The original plan was to go for the bitcoin at the same time but it was messy trying to do both together so I had to pick which one to aim for first. My thinking was that hive is cheap now and things are quiet so it's easier to stack now rather than later if it gets busier. And if price goes up I will have a nice vote to spread around.

Bitcoin has been steady for the past 2 years so I thinks it's next run will be a lot more gradual than 2 years ago. People are a lot more cautious. But I could be wrong.

I have no doubts that you will hit Orca rank in less than 12 months... ;)

It's not that I'm powering down or something with my "Hive plan", but just moving to the same goal as you, but with different approach :)

And... I'm very bad about "sticking" to the rules when I make decisions about Hive... lol... knowing myself, I will buy 10k Hive in the next 30 days... hahahaha

Cheers!

True. Its hard not to keep buying into hive. 😂
My plan is to do it all organically but again I might not be able to stick to the rules.

You are very active anyway so the account builds up a little every day. It's always nice to see that daily growth and stay motivated.

I think all of us here now will get there at some stage. I see lots of users with that positive growth mindset which is a great way to have it.

I just enjoy the challenge every month but seeing the graph striking upwards is quite sexy. Hopefully it can keep going in the right direction.

Well...as long as we don't power down, it always goes in the right direction. :P Little by little or with some big spikes inbetween if we buy. That's the beauty of Hive Power.

Absolutely.
I've been here for three years and i've always said I was all in with hive until we hit 100 or 0.
No in betweens.

That's the dream. You could live off your daily rewards. 🏆

It's not even that far fetched. There is not a huge amount of hive out there so if you had 100 busy apps or a couple of million users looking to power up the price would shoot up very fast.
It's all about growing the user base and providing tools for them to use.

That and a group of hardcore users like us gathering up as much as possible. 😂

Hey! We share the same goal of owning 1 Bitcoin, I posted about that yesterday.
I think I should consider to become an Orca too, but in my case it will be afterwards owning 1 full BTC.

Cheers!

I'm hive first, bitcoin second as I have real use case with hive and can use it to earn more.
But they are both good goals to have and fun to work towards. 1 bitcoin would be amazing and something that will be very rare to hold at some stage.

Good luck!

Having achievable goals is and chasing them is the best way to make things happen

Thanks. I've been doing these challenges from day 1 on the chain to help motivate and challenge myself.

Every time I hit a goal I can set the next level. I'm all in with hive and will continue to power it all up. Achievable is a very important part of it as there is no point in setting it for 1m hive and not having a hope of getting there.

Better to set a goal that will puch you to do a bit extra and be able to hit it with a little struggle.

Thanks. Had good fun this month buying and selling to power up a bit. The charts and analytics are grea from Leo finance and their hivestats page.
Glad you found it. Having stats makes it all a bit more interesting.

Nice progress so far!

And I feel you regarding consistency. I'll be back up and running from this week but I was swamped with work, 3 new guys, and a lot of IRL work to do and not enough time left for My site, HIVE, and a couple of other crypto things.

Keep it up!

I know the feeling. It's caught me a few times as well when I was trying to do a lot of things together and real life got busy at the same time. I've taken a few breaks along the way to here but feel good again and want to do a bit more.

You'll get up and running again soon. I had been watching out for your content alright and hoped you would keep it going.

Great stuff mate! You've made awesome inroads since moving to HIVE - 10k up already! Good plan on getting to Orca first and then building from there. I caught some more HIVE on the dip in the last couple of days and powered up about 3.5k HP this week. Will be trading out some of the dross I have as well that aren't doing anything except going down like a lot of my coins have haha!

However, I've managed to reach my 1 BTC goal now and it's safely stashed away somewhere offline, never to be touched again for another 10 years haha!

Now it's time to crack on with Orca by the end of the year - think the amount of HP needed has gone up now right? Used to be around 50k HP but it's now about 52k HP? I'm about 7k HP away but will be chipping away now!

Keep the good vibes going hey!

Thanks man. Congrats on locking away that bitcoin. That's something that very few people will ever achieve. 💪

That's still some good powering up on the hive side too. You'll be orca before you know it.

Most of mine was steem related as life has been very busy but I'm going to try for a much better month this time round and keep the fun going. I love seeing the monthly chard and all the big jumps. That and having a decent sized vote to swing around the place. It's nice to be able to hit some of the small accounts with a vote they can see.

I always remember when I was new and the fun of getting even a 20c vote of somebody. They seemed like such a big player looking at them from minnow.

I'll meet you for a pint in 10 years when we crack open the cold wallets and spens a few Sats. 😂

Thanks mate! Yeah still can't quite believe it myself about the BTC, have to plug in the ledger every now and then JUST to make sure I do have it 😂

I'm on a bit of a mad man mission when I have my eyes set on something, a bit like a bull to a matador - tunnel vision and go straight for it so definitely ramping up the HP! That chart watching is kinda cool, I remember seeing the difference of mine when I started buying - I was still at about 2k HP from author rewards after 18 months and just thought of buying it up while the price was cheap around August last year... didn't anticipate buying up about 22k's worth and beyond on Hive!

I remember those days of getting a $0.20 vote and being like, who's this big balls who's come along?! Although I pretty much delegate or lease my HP out because I can't be around all the time and there are dedicated curation guilds who are supporting new users, my upvotes are still a token gesture. Would be pretty cool once the leases expire next year to see where I'm at and then be able to drop a few upvote bombs!

Haha, I'll meet you at the pub when we'll finally be allowed to go there after lockdown lifts! 🍻
