HELLO April 2023!
It's the 1st day of the month and that means it's HIVE Power Up Day again! ๐๐ Just like that, 3 months of this year has passed us by. I can assure you this isn't an April Fool's joke too, even if it's the 1st of April now. ๐ฑโ๏ธ I'm glad to say I'm still pretty much enjoying my time here and will continue participating in this initiative for as long as I can.
Another month in this year has gone by in a flash! I've joined HIVE since November 2021 and I'm still learning so many new things everyday! I first heard of Hive Power Up Day in January 2022 and all its other acronyms (PUD, PUM, PUH ๐ what a mouthful) and I'm into my 16th consecutive month of participation in HPUD now!
I've attained yet another PUM badge for the month! ๐ ๐ฅณ (at least 1 post/powerup everyday!)I FAILED to get the PUM badge. I forgot to power up for 1 day and everything was ruined. I gave up after that. Time to attempt it again for this month! ๐ญI've also managed to make at least ONE post a day in keeping up with my resolution to post as regularly as possible. ๐
Ever since I started with the HPUM initiative in 2022, I've tried my best to faithfully make one blog post everyday in an attempt to get the Hive Power Up Month badge. I've managed to make it successfully for 9 out of 12 months in 2022 and will be attempting to get as many as I can again in 2023! ๐ฅณ๐ฏ
Another successful month of making at least ONE post a day with 100% to HIVE powered up (or adding 1 HIVE powered up if I'm a klutz and forget to set the post pay-out from it's default 50/50 ๐ต). ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
FAILED PUM this month. Sigh.
This makes it 3 months (out of 12) where I managed this achievement this year (2023). I still intend to continue on with this really good habit anyway ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป so lets hope I make it again for the next month again. ๐
Blogging regularly and having the HPUM to incentivize me has other tangible benefits too! I've seen my Hive Power grow quite a fair bit. This seems like a good practice which I intend to continue keeping up with!
๐How it All Started๐
I came onto the Hive blockchain trying to set up an account for SPLINTERLANDS. Prior to this, I had just about ZERO knowledge and experience with any Blockchain. It was pretty confusing to me as a complete novice - much different from how the usual process of setting up an account to play any game goes. ๐ต
This led to me googling around, and of course, I stumbled onto all the Hive blogs with their guides. One thing lead to another and I somehow stumbled upon the guys from ๐Hive.Pizza๐ who were extremely helpful in answering all my queries and guiding me along. Shoutout to all PIZZA members. JOIN THEIR DISCORD if you need any help!
โก๏ธHIVE POWER UP DAYโก๏ธ
In my VERY FIRST month before before I ever heard about Hive Power Up Day/Month, I was at just 47 HP ๐ญ (Before Jan 1st 2022).
This month, before I've even powered up anything at all, I'm already at 3778 HP! ๐๐๐
That's how much the past few months of consistent blogging on HIVE with (mostly) 100% allocated to Hive Power improved my HIVE account!
And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! โก๏ธ๐ช (1st April 2023)
Once again, I only have enough HIVE set aside for a 10HP powerup, but I'm sure with my continued efforts to blog with 100% powered up to HIVE, I will be able to grow my Hive Power even more! ๐ค
๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐๐๐
As always, I usually make just the minimum powerup of 10 HIVE. This is because there are so many projects that I'm now invested in. The HIVE ecosystem is so much bigger than what I had thought it was when I first joined. I believe my constant allocation of most of my daily posts being 100% powered up is sufficient to grow my Hive Power daily. The rest of any funds from HIVE will usually be kept for other projects that are of interest to me (on HIVE of course ๐).
Most recently this month, it has mostly been in 2 things.
- Muterra's @muterra Echo Tamer sale
- General Sale of WOO LAND courtesy of BookerMan @wrestorgonline and his amazing team!
Just FYI, the WOO Token discount of $5 for 500 WOO Tokens (which costs about $0.10) will be ending really soon! May 31st is the cut off date and from that point on, it will be the FULL $20. Don't miss it while stocks last! ๐๐๐ค
For anyone who still has no idea about WOO Land, you should read this link I'm leaving below here. That nearly 3000 word essay should give you all the nitty gritty details you need to know.
https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@wrestorgonline/woo-land-complete-utility-guide
Some quick info about the Land Sale.
$20/pack or $15 + 500 $WOO Tokens.
A large variety of payments are accepted.
Only about 6.3k packs left for sale out of the initial 10k!
๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ๐ค๐ค๐ค๐๐๐
Using https://hivestats.io/ , I was able to pull out a chart showing my daily account growth for the past month too. Great to see that orange graph head upwards continually ๐๐! If only my stocks portfolio and the price of HIVE looked like that too ๐๐ค.
As you can see, blogging on HIVE is the main reason for this growth, with the majority of my author rewards being channeled into my Hive Power AND with no power downs at all. (All thanks to my attempt to chase for the Hive Power Up Month badge ๐) The growing Hive Power accumulated also has the other effect of increasing my Curation Rewards. ๐ค๐ค๐ค
Therefore, to anyone who is doubtful about the benefits of regular blogging and remaining invested in HIVE, I implore you to take a look at my stats and draw your own conclusions. ๐๐๐๐ป
๐๐๐My Long-Term Plan๐๐๐
Now clearly, I wouldn't just spend such an amount on just being able to write and reply in a community. HIVE as a token also has significant value and growth potential. This is the price chart for HIVE since it's inception. As all the HIVE regulars know, HIVE reached its ALL TIME HIGH earlier on in November 2021 at about $3.
The past month has been crazy to say the least. Silvergate Bank went bust, and then Silicon Valley Bank, and then Silvergate Bank too! One would have thought these mid sized banks were the exception rather than the norm. BUT... One of the 30 banks worldwide regarded "Too Big to Fail", Credit Suisse, nearly went down too! It was only with the intervention of the Swiss government that directed UBS to buy them out for a token sum that prevented total chaos!
What about crypto then? BTC has gone from strength to strength in this crisis of confidence in the traditional banking system. BTC has hit a 9 month high of $29k! ๐๐๐ค
Does this signal a new bullrun for crypto? No one can predict the future to be honest. There could still be several downward movements and price corrections before we see a full recovery and a new bull run all the way to a new ATH! ๐ฎ๐ ๐
I believe this is a good time to DCA and accumulate some crypto (or any other asset actually) while everything is at such low prices. It could get worse before it gets better (and it probably would too) but as they say, time in the market - not time the market. ๐
Hopefully it'll pay off one day.
(Obviously, these are just my own opinions too, so please don't take this as some financial advice. I'm definitely NOT any financial expert/advisor ๐ .)
๐๐๐๐ฅณ๐WAGMI๐๐๐๐ฅณ๐
I can see the potential in HIVE and am bullish on its future prospects. As they say, diamond hands and HODL ๐๐, I too intend to just hold onto my HIVE tokens and since I've no intention of cashing out anytime soon, what better way than to participate in HPUD and locking it all in.
Keeping my HIVE powered up as Hive Power also earns about 3% interest and gives me increased returns on my curation. From what I've seen, curation APR ranges anywhere from 4-12% depending on how efficient I am at curating. This sounds low especially in the crypto world, but it is still far superior to any bank interest rates. ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
I hope to continue to powerup monthly in this community event whilst also growing my Hive stake. It would be most interesting indeed to chart my monthly progress this way too.
