Today marks the start of February. Oh dear me, it seems this year is flying as fast as last year was!
The fifth weekend of 2025 is here and with it the fourth weekly report of my Saturday Savers Club participation for 2025.
I am publishing this in our Silver Bloggers community as we do have an interest in crypto and passive income streams!
Keep building brick by brick
Thursday up here was a truly gorgeous day. A beautiful blue sky after a freezing night.
There is something majestical about viaducts, this one is only a ten minute walk from house, and it was such a beautiful day, I took a wee detour on the way back from the supermarket.
Happy HPUD
When I first started Hive three years ago, HPUD or Hive Power Up Day was a big thing. The wonderful @traciyork ran the HPUD challenge (although she in turn took over the mantle from someone else if my memory serves me right). There would be prizes from sponsors and it was a chance for smaller accounts to win a delegation of Hive and other prizes.
I have not participated in a while, although I am trying to power up a Hive daily.
The gamification whizzs at @hivebuzz give you badges if you power up 10 Hive on HPUD and if you power up 1 Hive a day for a month ... Read these two posts for more details.
Hive Power Up Day - February 1st 2025
Be ready for the February edition of the Hive Power Up Month!
I benefited when I first started and I believe by participating it shows you care about our blockchain and aren't here just to take take take!
So without any further ado...
This year is all about Just Doing It for me... so I did!
Which beings me nicely into my Saturday Savers Club goals for 2025.
No detours on Savings goals!
If you fancy joining in with the Saturday Savers club and the fun way to save ... then ... First up read this post Saturday Savers Club | Year 5: 2025 Launch and FAQs | 500 HP Prize Draw! | Everyone Welcome..
I shall be Using the Penny a Day Savings Challenge
Primary Goal 1 = 667.95 HBD
Remember I said Passive Income?
Well saving HBD our stablecoin Hive Backed Dollars earns 15%APR interest... that is some fluffing good passive income!
Now then I did say I was doing my version of the penny savings challenge.
Previous years showed me the way to hit your HBD saving goal was to save hard at the beginning!
Ed's Special version makes use of the make hay while the sun shines philosophy...
As you can see from my account screenshot I really am flying along with 95.398 HBD in my savings pot ...
As you can see from the table I am at 14.28% complete. The target completion based on a pure date driven scale is 8.77%.
HBD and Primary goal ahead of schedule!
Secondary Goal 2 = 0.01095996 BTC
Whether or not I meet this target will depend on the price of Bitcoin.
I decided to buy 3 USDT worth of Bitcoin each and every day...
I have an auto-invest order on Binance...
The amount of Bitcoin I have now is ... 0.0008734 and we are rapidly closing in on 100k Sats
Which is 0.00020306 more than last week!
At 7.97$ we are slightly below the projected target value of 8.77%. This due to the fact that BTC has been trading higher and not getting as much of it for our $3 as at the beginning when the goal was made!
It is fun to collect things .... Now it is $HBD and $BTC..
There we have it, it should be an interesting year!
My SSC goals for 2025 with progress to date are :
Goal 1 = 667.95 HBD, To Date 95.398 HBD, 14.28% progress.
Goal 2 = 0.01095996 BTC, To Date 0.0008734, 7.97% progress
Week 5 Goals and N2Hs
There are 52 weeks of course in a year, so I do have plenty of time to decide how my numbers and reports will look, However for the meantime I quite like this.
Are you saving? Did you power up for HPUD?
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful 2025...

Happy hive power up day. Happy new month as well boss boss
Happy HPUD and Happy New Month Becky, may it be blessed with Royal Honey!
Always boss boss 😂😂
Just a little bit at a time has a way of adding up to something, if you just stay patient with it!
You nailed it with staying patient. I am a great one for starting a gazillion and one things and running out of patience or getting bored too easily!
Touch wood though and if I don't need to dip into things then it should add upto something indeed.
!SLOTH and steady does it! This year really seems to be buzzing by, though! January didn't feel as long as it usually does. Nice progress on you HBD goal, the BTC will level out over the year unless we really are into the end game of btc and it moons to 1 milly!
lol moon to 1 milly!
Yeah I don't think the weather has been that bad really which has helped.
Congratulations @tengolotodo! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

That's awesome guys thank you and Happy HPUD
It will all add up over time. You will look back and think wow, how did I accumulate all this HBD and BTC some day.
That is exactly it. If we don't do anything then we won't get anything.
