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.
Week 13... One quarter of 2025 is over! No sign of bull year so far... Seems like Trump (and Putin, let's not leave him out) scared it away, and if it's still around, it's well hidden. 🤨
I decided to not throw all my HBD from author rewards into HIVE anymore, unless HIVE drops below 20c (which most likely would mean we wouldn't have a bull year on HIVE). I'm now doing 50/50%, 50% into HIVE and 50% going toward my HBD savings goal.
This week I move 7.5 HBD to savings, as described above. I also received the monthly interest of 8.905 HBD.
Current situation:
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 25.93% with 25.00% needed to be in the green.
I also started the week with 22,382 comments made. Ended the week with 22482 which means I made 100 comments last week, which is much higher than the average needed. I currently need an average of 79 comments weekly to reach my target by the year end.
I published "Week through Adrian's Lenses" news roundup every week this year. Now at the 116th 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: 5,253
Days to Prestige 23: ~5
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 36,184 XP, ended it with 44,812 XP. That's 8,628 XP gained last week. I still need 5,253 XP to level up to Prestige 23. That's less than 5 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: 349.
Current Faith level: 358.
To have have Faith at level 600 at the beginning of Q4 (13 weeks before the year end), I need an average of 9.31 Faith level upgrades per week. This week I leveled up Faith by 9, which is a little lower than the needed average (I forgot to claim and upgrade regularly once or twice this week, and it shows).
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 100,209 ZING and finished it with 102,956, so a nice round number here was passed this week. Made 2,747 ZING this week, and I need an average of 2,489 ZING weekly to achieve this goal. So far this seems reachable, but we'll see how it evolves.

I think the HBD choice is good. I am also doing that same plan. If Hive drops below 20 cents, I'll probably collect some Hive, but until then, I'll just stack more HBD in my savings.
It is possible VSC and the other launches we have slated wakes up the price of HIVE. Hopefully, this was the bottom, otherwise we will have a pretty bad time for the rest of the year on Hive due to the sentiment, coupled with the fact that people were expecting the opposite to happen this year.
Wish you success with everything you do!
This week, I also started to have Social Goals as a remedy for my indiscipline 🤫

(1/1) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily@gadrian, @steemmillionaire
Thanks, man! Likewise! Well... that could be a remedy, lol.
The 50/50 split is a great balance. Keeps you in the game without overcommitting. Also, passing 100k ZING is a nice milestone, momentum’s on your side man
Yeah, I needed to prepare the possibility "what if we don't have a bull run in the second half of this year?". I'm still cautiously optimistic about it, but I don't ignore the possibility that we might not have one.
Thanks! Passed it last week, and it's a nice milestone to have reached.
congratulations and yes, good to be optimistic and still leave some room for when shit goes sideways
Too much chaos with that damn tariffs, now threat of tariffs on who buy Russia oil, then tariffs on Iran
Yeah, I heard about those threats too. I think we will soon have very few countries in the world without a tariff from the US, directly or indirectly. At least Trump woke up and realized Putin is stalling negotiations, while pushing through more of Ukraine's territory and building up Russia's stock of weapons and ammunition.
I'm also just exchanging HBD for Hive whenever we get some big dumps. I think it's a good strategy, let's see if we can get under 20 cents. Eth is probably one of the worst performer in the space, so I think the general market bled about a day or two, so let's see how it goes. Food strategy you gave there.
Yeah, but if HIVE goes below 20c, I think we can say goodbye for any significant push on HIVE price in 2025. I'd rather not see the price go to that level.
