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.
Is this the week when the markets start moving upward more consistently? The start is good, but we will see what follows... I already predicted - if we can call it like that - that the end of the anemic market may come at the end of March or beginning of April. Let's see if I was right...
I continued to use my HBD from author rewards to buy HIVE. Unfortunately, I made my purchase today, when I could've bought a little cheaper these last few days. But it's still a good price.
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, which... hasn't been easy on a few situations. But I do expect to miss some posts this year, that's why I pushed it, if I want to complete this goal. Currently at 23.93% with 23.08% needed to be in the green.
I also started the week with 22,301 comments made. Ended the week with 22382 which means I made 81 comments last week, which is about 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? However, 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 115th 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: 13,881
Days to Prestige 23: ~12
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 27,304 XP, ended it with 36,184 XP. That's 8,880 XP gained last week. I still need 13,881 XP to level up to Prestige 23. That's less than 12 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: 337.
Current Faith level: 349.
To have have Faith at level 600 at the beginning of Q4 (13 weeks before the year end), I need an average of 9.29 Faith level upgrades per week. This week I leveled up Faith by 12, 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 97,454 ZING and finished it with 100,209, so a nice round number here was passed this week. Made 2,755 ZING this week, and I need an average of 2,495 ZING weekly to achieve this goal. So far this seems reachable, but we'll see how it evolves.

Great progress. Sometimes things just happen. You can't make it every single day. I wouldn't worry about the purchase price too much. Sometimes you get better prices, but it all averages out over time.
Nah, I don't worry about the price for sure. Looks like it was a good price after all. It is true, things happen. I do have a few things scheduled this year which may or may not throw me off course of a couple of days each, depending on many factors.
That HBD savings goal is a smart move, especially with the market possibly picking up soon. Timing buys perfectly is always tricky, but as long as you're stacking, you're winning. Let’s see if your market prediction plays out but hope it does well
It would be great to see the beginning of an uptrend.
it would be awesome 👍
At least we had a pump on HIVE. Didn't hit my small sell order, but that's fine. If the market continues to be positive, we will have more of them.
let's hope for more positivity then
It's normal to skip some days and not post every day
Yeah, for me, "normal" is to post every day. 😄
You couldn't have known. All of us make these decisions and since we cannot predict price in the short run, I believe anything bought under 0.5 is still good enough, especially since we're expecting the big pump soon
At least I bought it before the pump, which is good.
It is the first time I heard about ZING, I will check that out
Really? Looks like Holozing entered a phase of less visibility, but it was very visible in the first part of last year.
to be fair things have been a bit quiet lately, hoping that will change here soon :)
I hope so too. I heard you on the "before Q3" tentative launch of alpha... That wouldn't be far away, for sure. :) Thanks for dropping by!
Good luck on achieving your Social Goals
Thanks.
I wish you good luck in fulfilling all of your goals
Thanks.
It is amazing on your dedication on being social active in Hive
