This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.
| Current State/Other Selection Criterion | Goals Matching the Criterion |
|---|---|
| Ongoing | 4 (HBD in Savings - 5000 HBD, Social Goals, ZING Accumulation Target: 200k, Golem Overlord - Prestige 30) |
| Main Goals | 2 (HBD in Savings - 5000 HBD, Social Goals) |
| Goals | 2 (ZING Accumulation Target: 200k, Golem Overlord - Prestige 30) |
HBD in Savings at the Bull Market End Goal: 5,000 HBD
This is a goal inherited from last year, but mostly intended for this year.
Things kind of calmed down in the market, without major drops in the last week (as far as I remember, without looking). I'm still anticipating uncertainty regarding the general trend until after the latest tariffs kick off at the beginning of April (if nothing changed/changes in between). Maybe afterward we may have some relief and the market can look for other reasons to move in one direction or another. I still think it will go up after that, maybe not immediately.
As a consequence, I'm still buying HIVE every week with author rewards and not keeping HBD.
Current situation (nothing changed):
Social Goals
Here are my social goals in 2025:
- posting: at least 350 posts (max 1 per day) in 2025
- commenting: an average of 81.25 comments per week (11.6 per day); this is at the beginning of the year, the average needed will change throughout the year;
- publishing Week through Adrian's Lenses every week of 2025 (hopefully, maybe I can have 1 exception, under special circumstances)
Here's the current situation:
I have posted every day since the beginning of this year. Currently at 21.94% with 21.15% needed to be in the green.
I also started the week with 22,215 comments made. Ended the week with 22301 which means I made 86 comments last week, which is a little more than the average needed. I currently need an average of 80 comments weekly to reach my target by the year end. Maybe I finally nailed the "right" number of comments for this goal? Although I plan to take at least a break this year, and I don't know exactly what kind of activity I'll have on Hive then.
I published "Week through Adrian's Lenses" news roundup every week this year. Now at the 114th edition.
Golem Overlord - Prestige 30
Started with prestige 20 (and XP 10,544) in week 2.
Here's the current situation:
Current Prestige level: 22
Needed XP to level up to Prestige 23: 50,065
Remaining XP to Prestige 23: 22,761
Days to Prestige 23: ~19
When upgrading to next prestige level, 75% of my XP will be cut, and I'll start over the climb from there.
Started the week 18,672 XP, ended it with 27,304 XP. That's 8,632 XP gained last week. I still need 22,761 XP to level up to Prestige 23. That's about 19 days, if nothing changes in my pace of converting reputation to XP.
From week 8 I began tracking my Faith level, since starting from 600+ level, it gives a bonus to maximum rep conversion (0.5% per level).
Last week's Faith level: 326.
Current Faith level: 337.
To have have Faith at level 600 at the beginning of Q4 (13 weeks before the year end), I need an average of 9.39 Faith level upgrades per week. This week I leveled up Faith by 11, which is higher than the needed average (lowering the needed average, or permitting to reach the target sooner).
This may be a too tougher goal for 2025, but we'll see. Worse case scenario, I'll extend it in 2026. But I'd like to see it completed in 2025. Let's see what I can do about it.
ZING Accumulation Target: 200k
For anyone who doesn't know, ZING is the token of the Holozing game (currently, it has no publicly released gameplay).
Slow and steady. Everything fine for now.
Here's the current situation:
Started the week with 94,603 ZING and finished it with 97,454. Made 2,851 ZING this week, and I need an average of 2,502 ZING weekly to achieve this goal. So far this seems reachable, but we'll see how it evolves.

Trying to Stick to post per day as well, I've realized the consistency adds up very well
It does. The most important thing, in my opinion, is that writing becomes easier and easier. Subject ideas and the writing itself is much more smooth after the daily routine has been going on for a good while, and your brain is used to it. Especially true for people who aren't particularly trained as writers.
yes indeed, I wasn't exactly trained as a writer it took a while and now I'm comfortable with it. It's basically a way of expressing yourself
Exactly. And it's a good skill to have in today's world. Although, probably even better to do videos and live, but that's not my thing.
Yeah me neither, I tried videos for a while but it's a bit stressful to set-up, blogging is way easier, I express my thoughts and I'm done
Yea everything is kinda stuck now, tariffs side and Ukraine situation... Markets not moving much
Stuck is probably better than crashing. You can't build up sentiment while things are crashing, but you can slowly do it when things go sideways for a while.
Keep tabs with the goals...weldone.
The thought of buying Hive everyday, it sounds nice, especially this period that Hive is down🤔
Well, that's what I do (maybe not daily). We'll see later this year if this was a good decision or not.
Progress is progress.
For Golem Overlord, did you factor in the increasing costs of faith? Or does that not matter as much because you earn more off attacks?
I earn more, but there is competition. You don't always find nice "fat" targets to attack. But absolutely, my daily claims have increased by increasing faith.

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 27/57) Liquid rewards.
Thanks, man!
It's the obvious smart thing to do. Perhaps we're at the bottom (Hive) perhaps not, but even if it's not the bottom, it's pretty much almost, and maybe a week, two or three before the button. These little purchases are what eventually helps you hit that 5k HBD goal in a couple of months
That's what I was thinking. Maybe we'll have the chance of a relaxed second half of the year and a good end of the bull market.
Yeah, I think so too. It's been crab walks and boredom and uncertainty. Hopefully too.
