The previous month was particularly amazing, and to celebrate I've decided to giveaway some Hive, considering I hit my goal of 15k HP.
To enter, it's really simple, just comment below saying countmein! and you'll be in with a chance to win.
- First Place - 500 Hive
- Second Place - 300 Hive
- Third Place - 200 Hive
This giveaway is to show my appreciation for Hive, and this great community. Good luck to everyone, and happy HPUD!
Hive Price
We have had a few ups and downs, and it seems like today things have taken a bit of a dip across the board. I'm not too worried about it.
There was a lot of hype in recent weeks, and I think after the substantial correction, people have chilled the beans in general and are a little bit more relaxed. I follow a good few people who make videos about crypto, but I've noticed the content production seems to have slowed a bit, and the art of weaponising hype has kind of slowed down too. The braggers have stopped bragging, and the gurus have been humbled.
I've noticed from the last few years that hype and overall excitement in some projects is very infectious, and it's easy for some people to flash a few gains to fool everyone into believing they're a genius.
We don't really suffer from that, and that's what I like about Hive in general, however, it couldn't hurt to potentially try to do a bit more in terms of marketing, even if it were in a more laid-back way, which would be more akin to the general vibe around here.
The Bull Market Is Nearly Over!
This is something I've been kind of hearing from some people recently, and I don't get it. We've barely started.
I'm not an expert, and to be honest, nobody really is. Some know a lot about tech, some know a lot about finance, or they're good at reading charts and predicting the future. That's all anything is though, predictions, nobody really knows what's going to happen next week, or next month, or next year.
We could get hit with an asteroid, or a solar flare could knock out the entire grid, and then what's our computer money good for? Who cares, just go with the flow, see what happens, and if you feel comfortable, sell it all and buy a villa somewhere to chill in, until the next bear market. That's what I'd like to do anyway, not that I think I could make enough to do that.
Who knows though? Nobody.
On With The Power Up
I started off today with 15,058 HP, and I decided to power up a few more Hive.
I have been building up my Hive, by swapping the HBD I earn, and I've been doing so with the intention of buying some other tokens on HE, or potentially using these earnings to buy some more coins outside of the Hive eco-system.
At this point, I've built my HP up to a level I feel happy about. Obviously the more the better, however, I do want to start taking some of my earnings and using them to buy a few other things that I'm hopeful about.
I decided to power-up 17 Hive.
With today's power up, I've hit 15,075 HP.
I have been on Hive since the 14th of December 2021, and in my time here I have managed to increase my holdings a lot.
Mainly, I don't power down, and typically transfer my HBD earnings into Hive, so I can power that up each month.
That has slowed down a fair bit now, considering I'm happy with where I'm at currently, so I feel that I have the freedom to distribute that money gained elsewhere, to help in preparing for the coming year or two.
As I said before, I have no idea what's going to happen, but I think it's smart to have a few different assets, rather than putting all of my eggs in one basket. Hive is my largest holding of everything else, and I do feel confident about it, but, of course, many things could be done to get a bit more attention.
Thanks for reading, and also I was only joking about the giveaway lol, April Fools. Last year I did one about leaving Hive and powering down and giving away everything, and that tricked a fair few people, for this one I decided not to be too drastic. I'm sure it'll still catch a few people though.
Happy Hiving.
Countmein!
Congratulations on hitting the 15k milestone 👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I can't believe the growth I've seen in these past few years. Also, April fools, sorry, I couldn't resist doing something for today.

April fools, sorry I couldn't help do something for this day.
you got me good bro
Congratulations on achieving your goal. countmein :)
Thank you!
April fools, I'm sorry, I had to do something for today haha
It's okay, it's understandable. I do April Fools' jokes too, but I never make promises or make promises. Because that's not a joke!
Well that's true, but also, I never mentioned it was a promise.
Maybe it was a bit too far, to be fair, I just wanted to include something in this post and that was the only thing that popped into my head.
No problem, I wish you continued success.
Thanks so much, you too. I'm wishing you all the best on your own journey.
!LUV
Don't count me in as I'm almost at 15K myself:) but congrats and fair play for giving it away as soon as you got it.
It was a little April fools joke, I'd love to do a giveaway of some kind but I'll hold onto my HP for the next little while.
Also thanks, I'm so happy with how things have gone in the last few years of being here.
Dammit! Ya got me! A good idea though. I may do it when I get to 15k.
It had to be done haha
Last year I wrote a goodbye post for April Fools and said I was going to delegate all of my HP to one lucky winner. That was such a good one.
Ah sure you're an awful tease. I'll never believe a word you say ever again:)
That was a little sneaky on the giveaway. I hope nobody is too disappointed. You need the funds anyway. You've done well to grow your account by this much, but then you have been consistently here. I keep telling people they need to put in the effort.
Onwards!
!BEER
Yeah I felt bad after I hit post haha
I love a little April fools, and after last years stunt I figured I needed to do something again, however, not as drastic as pretending to leave Hive and delegate all of my HP away.
Too right man, keep active and keep powering up. I haven't powered down anything since being here and essentially powered up all of the liquid Hive I earned, but I had a lot of fervor when it came to building up my stake.
I think I've earned about 6-7k through earnings and curation and the rest I was lucky enough to pick up while the price was low.

I have a feeling that Hive may moon very soon....and then we will be hit by an asteroid.
Countmein!
Oh yeah, 100%, over the next few months/ years we're going to see some cool stuff. Also, April fools. Sorry, I had to do it.
Yeah well, there were suspiciously a lot of zeros in these prizes but I hoped you're some kind of prince.
Only a prince of darkness my dude haha
Wow, I just checked out your profile, do you design all of those models from scratch in blender? They are sick!
Thank you! Yes it's pretty much all Blender. I like it because it combines the functions of many different programs, you can even do 2D animations and video editing in it, plus it's open source... and it's also a cult. Anyway, thanks for stepping by!
The blender cult haha, a friend of mine was teaching me how to use it, but I wanted to sculpt, but he didn't know how so we just made some rooms.
I sculpt with polymer clay, because I like to create aliens from the short stories I write so I can get a better idea of what they look like so I can describe them better with words.
It is a cult, you can test it by visiting their forum and telling them that 3D cursor is an useless feature.
I've been doing some clay sculpting too in the past, mostly bigger scale, then I moved to 100% digital. I miss the physical stuff though.
I've read one of your short stories. Great stuff. Really scary though and it made me hate VR/AR headsets even more. I will definitely return for more. Maybe we could do something together in the future. I'd love to illustrate a dystopian sci-fi story.
only 9 entry, that's a crazy way to double my accoutn value lol, sad it's 1 april lol
Damn, you twigged it straight away. I love doing a little something on this day, last year I said I was giving up on Hive and giving all of my Hive away to people. This year I didn't want to go that drastic.
haha that was a nice one too
haha, nice little April Fools. Good job on the 15k man, that's absolutely stellar! I'm pumped for you!
Thanks so much dude, I honestly can't believe it. I managed to pick up so much while it was low this year, and that helped so much, as well as being active.
I love April fools, and was wrecking my head trying to think of something for today haha
Need not Countmein, just wanted to say good on you.
Thanks, I'm delighted with how things have gone in these past few years, and I'm sure there'll be plenty more good to come from the next few.
Congratulations @killerwot! 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!
