When I reached the ORCA rank on HIVE, I was thinking about the next step and goal. As the WHALE rank is very far away, my next focus was to reach the 100K HivePower and I'm happy to say that I did it! How long did it take? From the moment I got the ORCA rank, almost two years have passed, which was the time needed to almost double up my HivePower. At January, 1st, after the 1K power-up, I had 56K HivePower that was needed for ORCA rank!
Created in Canva.com
In certain moments, it was even hard to imagine getting there, especially when HIVE was over $1... Around January 2022 that was the case... and to imagine that I would need 50K USD more to reach 100K was unimaginable... The price of HIVE went down, and I used those (these) moments to acquire more, and to power up more... But, it is needed to say that I was doing those 1K power-ups even when the price was over $1!
After all these years in crypto, I did learn something very important... If you are focused and convinced in what you are doing, nothing can stop you from reaching your goal... IGNORE the price, ignore the volatility, and keep your focus on accumulation... It doesn't matter if it is $1 or $0.10, you have your goal and you work to accomplish it!
How about taking profits? Well, I did take some profits from crypto through the years... Sometimes one token, sometimes some others, but most of the time, my main focus was on the accumulation of "blue-chip tokens"... That is a very relative term, as blue-chip tokens aren't the same for everyone... For some, only Bitcoin is a blue-chip token, maybe only HIVE, and for others multiple tokens... Either way, it's important to define that for yourself and to keep the focus... If you are changing your "blue-chip" tokens definition every week, you will never get there...
So, let's do it! Let us power up some Hive on November #HivePUD.
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:
Then I decided to power up the 1/2 of the total amount... You may ask why...
Well, to fulfill my OCD thing and to be able to create the next screenshot 😃:
That number looks so awesome! 100,000 HivePower!!! After all this time, a lot of work and I have to say, sacrifice too, I have reached my yearly goal, but also a huge multi-year goal!!
After that, I have powered up the rest of the 1000 HIVE destined to be staked today... The biggest HiveBuzz bee will come tomorrow! 😃
What's next? I suppose that the next multi-year goal should be 150K, as aiming more than that could be counter-productive and demotivating...
As I have powered up over 1 HIVE every day during October, I got another important message from Hivebuzz this morning...
Along with the other 40 people, I got the #HivePUM badge for October!
To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...
So, what is #HivePUD?
Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is shortened for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It is organized by great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork and is held every 1st day of a month.
Check out the official #HivePUD post for November here...

Congrats on the huge milestone! That is really amazing.
I think none of crypto is really "blue chip", but if anything BTC comes the closest. Still pretty volatile, but probably less so than almost anything else in this space.
Thank you very much!
Regarding the blue chips... Which fiat currency would you call a blue chip? 😃 I have to say that I would have a problem to pick one... 😃
I suppose the dollar, since all other currencies look to it. But yeah, even that one isn't exactly stable and is pretty much constantly going down. From a stability standpoint, I'd say gold is probably best, silver next. Does that make them blue-chip? But then you get into storage issues.
We are living in turbulent times... Changes are coming and the only question is... Are we ready for them? Covered from all sides and angles...
WoW, congrats for this great milestone!
100K HP demonstrates your commitment to Hive and is also an example to follow.
I wish you to reach higher and higher goals because you deserve it!
This wonderful achievement of yours deserves all the support I can give you

@tipu curate 2
Thanks for the wishes!!!
You have definitely contributed to this accomplishment with your support! 🙏
Good job mate, I still have a few more months to go to get my 100k. Power up a bit every day is the way to go.
Thanks! Btw, you are not that close to 100K at all... You will get there soon! 💪
Congratulations! I know it's tricky to make your HP an exact number as it increases all the time. I've been keeping an eye on how many people have over 100k and it's increasing. We should hit 200 soon.
We need more big accounts to spread the rewards more.
!BEER
I completely agree with you! It would be great to see the growth of Dolphins and Orcas on HIVE as they are the "middle class" of HIVE... And that class was usually the most important in every country and the main wheel of the economy!
Thank you for being one of those who are showing by example how it should be done!
Oh wow congrats! So great to see so many friends here grow, achieve their goals and support each other!
Powering up every day for a month is a thing? I had no idea and would have gotten in on that as well.
I would say keep doing what you are doing and maybe set a goal to power up and delegate it to smaller folks to distribute your whale power!
Onward and upward!!
It is a good exercise for consistency and creating a habit/routine... It helps me with some other tasks that I try to do daily... You can check out the official post for #HivePUM here https://inleo.io/@hivebuzz/pum-202411
I was happy to realize that a lot of my friends are on the list who got the #HivePUM badge! That's probably the best view I would like to have... Growing together, as you said!
Thanks!!! 🙏
Wow congratulations 🎉, 100k is huge. I have not any goals for this year but I think I will surpass 45k by the end of the year 😬
Oh, 45K is nice... If you got that this year, does that mean that the next year you will become ORCA? 🙂 That would be super awesome!!!
Thanks!
Yes sir, he hee hope so. Let's see how far I can go by the end of the year 😁 good day.
Congratulations. Well there are people that have a thing for round figure numbers and you might be itching for a long time now to see that 100k. What can I say, I think anyone who wants the fortune that comes with crypto needs that extra risk which many are unwilling to take, it's either that or nothing else.
It feels so good doesn't it?
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 35/45) Liquid rewards.
hahaha... It does feel good, indeed... 😁 And I was itching for a long time to get these 100K... I suppose after 10K, the dream was to get to the 100K... I still can't believe the screenshot... 😂
Thanks, my friend! For all your support as you are one of those who participated in these 100K! 🙏 💪
It feels surreal to know you've finally gotten there, and now you might be itching for another challenge, it just how hitting milestones generally work.
You're welcome, more wins for you.
Oh, yeah! It feels great to reach a goal, but it's even sweeter to plan the next one... 😃
Happy Hive HPUD. Congratulations you got there with much time spare 🎊 Next year I will shoot for 10K, one less zero but that will look good in my eyes. First I look at making Dolphin status to end this year. Congrats also on HPUM, I'm back on track with it despite a very busy October.
Happy HivePUD! I remember my 10K very well! As a matter of fact, I just wrote a comment about it... When I reached 10K, I began to dream about 100K one day... And that day has come!
I have no doubts that you will get to 10K next year, and I would say more than that!!! 💪 I hope I will be here to help you out by supporting your great content!
Actually I think i will break that too. I have a goal to make it to the next level only on my routine tasks here. Once I make that I will start injecting/investing some of my own funds. Just want to say I got to Dolphin 🐬 on just content and curation awards. You will be here still, your too valuable not to be :-)
Congratulations on that massive milestone! Onwards and Whalewards to 150k and 200k!

Wow 100 000 HP! What a great goal to reach @ph1102! Congrats 🍺😎 - I am glad to be back at 10 000 haha. But I am chasing you, you ll see ;)
heheheh... Thanks!
I like to be chased... It gives me more motivation to push even harder! 😃
Congrats on getting back to 10K!! 💪
😎😎☀️☀️👍
Well don man! I remember a couple of years back when we reached dolphin level and how proud we were. Now 100'000 HP... this shows that consistency pays... Next step whale???
I remember those days as well! Getting to Dolphin rank was huge!
Whale rank is too far away... I think that the next step is just a humble 150K :)
Huge Congratulations! What a great milestone.🔥
I am working my way there organically and each month I see that goal getting slightly closer!
Thank you! I had the same plan to do it organically and I used my "spare" earnings to buy shitcoins... But, in one moment I decided that it would be smarter to use the "spare" money to rather power up and fasten the process... 😃
Btw, you are closer and closer to 100K too! If you will continue to do it organically, the next year you should be there! 💪
I hope I will be there before next Christmas! It would happen slightly faster if I wasn't occasionally tempted to buy a few of my favorite blue chip 2nd layer tokens when I happen upon a bargain! 😁
Heheheeh... Those 2nd layer distractions! 😃 Just don't go heavy into them... You never know what could happen... NFA! 😃
Congratulations! 100K is a huge number. Now, calm down a bit. 👍😎
ahahahaha... Thanks! I will never calm down! Accumulation continues! 😃
Happy #HivePUD! I saw your nice power-up! Great job! 💪
Congratulations!! 🙌 It’s great to see your efforts and dedication to your projects. I’m glad you achieved this important milestone. Enjoy it and keep up the good work. 🤗
Thank you! Your words mean a lot!
Happy to have you on this Hive journey! 💪❤️
Congratulations!!! Goal reached... and ahead of schedule!!! Now for the 150k!!!
I hope you are all well with all these rains and floods, especially your son, I know he is in Valencia and we have seen very sad and desolate images. A greeting full of solidarity from this part of the world.
Thank you! ❤️
These floods were terrible and left devastation in the whole Valencian region... 😞 Luckily, our son was in the part of the city that was a bit higher than the ones that were affected... He is OK and will return home for a few days tomorrow...
Now that´s a big one! Congrats! :)
@tipu curate 3
Thank you very much! It is a nice, rounded number that I dreamed about for a long time... 😃
Thanks for your curation! It will help with the next goal! 😂
Yeah, I love round numbers so I can imagine :) My total Hive earnings are more than 100k Hive but I never made it to the 100k HP milestone as I was trying to live off it and had to power down and sell from time to time. Happy for you that you could afford to make it there :)
I can see that the TipU vote didn´t come through as someone was faster. Let me drop it on your latest post instead ;)
I had the same plan, but as it wasn't enough for living, I decided to continue with accumulation until it would be... 😃
Sounds more reasonable than my plan. I ended up with some 99% of my all time Hive earnings sold (mostly for ridiculously low prices) and still forced to find a job after that. But I don´t regret. Those "fulltime Hiver years" were just awesome, full of traveling and amazing experiences :)
It looks like you know the pros and cons of HIVE accumulation... That means that you can do it again whenever you are ready... 🙂
Traveling sounds like a great way to spend time... 😃
Lately, I've been thinking about the same thing.
Congrats for a such great achievement!
Thank you very much! 🙏
You gotta "stretch out" yourself a bit... Personally, it helped me to keep motivated and challenged! I suppose it can have the same effect on you! Go for it!
Yeah. Totally!
I've been working very hard for practically 7 years (which, by the way, will be completed this month) writing at least two posts a day, participating in other project initiatives, interacting with users, paying attention to all the news from Hive and I know what how positive all of this has been. It has been an incredible journey, and everything has been so worth it so far.
I confess that I really miss better support from big curatorial projects considering the quality of what I usually write (especially about reviews of films, television series and music albums), but even so, I have been constantly growing gradually. This keeps me motivated to continue, but one day I hope to be better recognized (in many ways) for these projects.
Thank you for the encouraging advice (it's really nice to read something like that), and I invite you to check out my blog and read a little bit about what I publish.
See ya, @ph1102.
Wow... 7 years is a very nice accomplishment!! I hope I will not miss your "celebration post" that will come soon! 🙂
Hive is a strange beast... There are many people with bigger or smaller stakes, and everyone has their own opinion on what "HIVE should be"... Some don't like to see people posting every day, or people posting multiple times per day, or people posting only an image, etc. I want to say that you can't please everyone...
When I went to the #HiveBeeCon meetup in Poland last year, and did a post about it, I didn't expect that 2-3 whale accounts wouldn't like that so much that they muted almost all accounts for every participant... I'm telling you this just to show you how some actions have no sense at all... 😃
All in all, I stopped worrying about the "whale support", and focused more on my content, and on people who support me, and I'm trying to support as much as possible them with my own manual curation, with my own stake...
The result is what you can see in this post... Not that big upvotes, but a lot of comments and support, which is more than I could even imagine! That's what counts and that's why I'm here... To support each other and to grow together!!!
Cheers! Have a great weekend!
Nice one M8. Cool seeing the 100,000k there! I hope to be there some day too!
Thanks!
Did I see it well, or did you power up an enormous amount of HIVE today? 15K?? That's huge, man! Congrats!
Well, if you continue with those power-ups, you will get to 100K in a couple of months! 🙂
Yeah, I gobbled me some hive!
For me, anything .20 cents or under is a great buy point.
I still think we will have a pump at some point, maybe not to crazy heights, but .50 cents is fully within reach.
Unfortunately, I can’t keep up that level of purchase, but chomp it when you can ✊
Congratulations!
I believe that at the end of 2025 I will write a post with the achieved goal of 10.000 HP 🙂
Thanks, man!
I think you will write that post well before the end of 2025! 💪 But, let's see what happens with crypto and HIVE until then...
Congrats on reaching your HP target early this year! Wen Top 100? 🤔 😎 But before that... 150k it is!
Huh... Top 100 means more than 200K HivePower... Not sure that it will happen soon... hehehehe... But, who knows... If some opportunity hops in, I will grab it for sure! 😃
Happy #HivePUD and thanks!!!
I'm sure you'll push for it at some point. If not next year, then the one after. Since I see you grow your HP continuously, without considering some profit taking from HP at the end of the bull market, whenever that will be...
Happy HivePUD!
To be honest, I'm really not thinking of powering down in the near future... Even if we have a bull market... Maybe I will cash out some of the liquid earnings that I would have in those moments, but powering down isn't on my mind at all...
Congrats! What a milestone!
I will soon be on 400K - need to think how to celebrate :)
Thanks a lot!! Appreciated!
Hmmm.. Maybe you could organize a live meetup and celebrate it with a big Hive cake! 😃 I know a perfect place and time to do it... Graz in May 2025! 🙂
But until that date, we will celebrate your 500K HivePower! 😀
Oh, that would be difficult!
Wow!! Welcome to the 100k club. Congratulations !!!
I remember the feeling when I achieved that mark, it's really something!
Thanks for the warm welcome! 🙏 ❤️ It's nice to be here! 😃
After reaching 10K and getting the ORCA rank, this is the "next level"! I remember dreaming about getting to 100K HP!
Wow. Great milestone. Millionaire at $10 Hive 👍
I remember having this much Hive back in the day before some terrible family disasters. Well done
Hahahaha... that would be nice to see... 😃 But, who knows... I remember dreaming of having 100K HivePower and it happened, so maybe $10 HIVE can happen too? 😃
Sorry to hear that you had to power down because of your family issues... But, on the other side, at least it served you in need... That's the point of all this...
Congrats on that huge milestone! I've also had my eye on it for awhile. Will likely be another 6-12 months for me until new job settles out and bonus time comes around. To your point, this is also my "Blue Chip" pick for multiple reasons, the biggest is that we can continue to watch it grow through authoring and curation even when we're not investing hard dollars and then watch those numbers just grow even more when the price goes up!
Thank you very much!
I have checked my last #MyHiveGoals post and saw that I began this year with a bit more HP than you currently have... I needed almost a whole year to get there, which of course, doesn't mean that you can't do it faster... 😃
And regarding the blue chip, there is one additional thing with Hive and HivePower... By growing the HP and supporting other authors with upvotes, we help others in need! That's a huge bonus and an important motivation to keep building for all!
Congratulations and I wish you accumulate much more 😁
Thank you very much! I will do my best! 😁
Congratulations!! That is huge. And you're right, it looks hella good, too. :)
Hehehe... Thank you very much!!! ❤️
It looks nice... 😃
Happy HPUD and congratulations on 100k. Those round numbers are hard to get and I am glad you were able to get it exactly. I am nowhere close to 100k but I will be trying to get there in the future. If I keep stacking, I'll get there eventually.
Well said! People like to overcomplicate things when they are very simple... If you work on it, you will get it there!
100k is really wonderful, that's awesome lot of focus and hardwork.
Thank you very much! I'm trying to keep the "noise" down and focus on accumulation! :)
Congratulations! It is so exciting when you see that 100,000 HP for real in your wallet!
It is exciting! As you have experienced that, you probably know that better! 😃
Have a great weekend, my friend!!
And you! 🙂
Congratulations, and just keep on building!
Thank you very much! Not planning to stop as a new goal is already cooking in my brain... 😂
Happy #HivePUD! I see you did your part! 💪
Always good to have new goals, as it feels so nice when a milestone is finally reached.

Congrats mate! 100K HIVE Power is a great amount on HIVE. I hope you will increase it even more ;)
Thanks! I've already moved my focus to the new target! 😃
100k is heaps, I prefer to split tough, some hbd and some hive, I like more stable prices 😅
Hehehe... I do understand your point of view... I had a couple of thousands in HBD but decided to convert into HIVE... Was that a good move or not? Time will tell... 😃
The good thing about having HivePower is that you can "earn more", but by doing that you are also helping others to grow! That's something that you can't see on other blockchains! So, even if I "lose" on my HivePower holding (compared to HBD savings), someone else, who I support through upvotes, will win!
wow that's great. Congratulations dear.
Thank you! 🙏
I appreciate your constant support of my content! ❤️

Congrats on reaching the 100k HP milestone. It was your hardwork and determination that brought you this far and you should be proud. I wish you luck on reaching the whale status, all you have to do is put in enough effort and you will achieve that. Thanks for writing and have a good day.
Thank you very much! Did you participate in today's #HivePUD?
No I didn't. I didn't plan for it so I had few or no hive to power up. But maybe next month. Besides I powered down some of my hive earlier this year because I needed the cash to solve a pressing problem. But I'm trying to stop powering down and try building my HP over the years.
