Before you begin to judge me why #MyHiveGoals are so "low" hear me out... π Firstly, I needed some additional time to create my new goals for 2025, as I wanted to adapt them to the market circumstances, expectations this year, but also my free time, my focus on specific HIVE-related things, etc.
Secondly, I don't shoot these numbers out just like that... Behind every number, there is a calculation, expectation, and additional "bonus" on top that should motivate me to push a bit harder over my "comfort zone"...

But, what are you talking about Ph? Your HivePower goal has the same growth as you had in 2024... Where is the snowball effect that you were talking about?
Well, we are in the crypto cycle where things could go ballistic... As a matter of fact, HIVE just showed how fast it can go up in a very short time, even before other cryptos did anything! Yes, I do believe in the snowball effect, but I also believe that wealth is built in the bear markets... With this price of HIVE (or higher), there is no chance that I can do my 1K power-ups as I was doing in 2024! In the same way, a higher price of HIVE will attract more bloggers (which is good for the long term) which means that despite author rewards looking juicy in USD, they will mean fewer HIVE tokens as rewards will be spread among more participants...
This year, I'm expecting that a lot of HIVE Whales and Orcas will power down some of their stakes and take some profits... Even at these moments, if you check the Hive Witness list, you will see that ONLY 5 of the Top 20 witnesses are NOT powering down! While it can sound scary for some, I see that as an opportunity to "shuffle the cards"... Those tokens will go out on the market, someone will buy them, and we could have a new whale in the building, or a "diamond hand" HODLer!
If we go back to the story about rewards, because of powers down, the curation rewards of those who will keep their HivePower intact should grow! I know that this year will be tempting to power down and take profits (ALREADY IS!), especially as I bought a nice chunk of HIVE under 20c earlier... But, I will try to ignore the noise and continue growing my HP! Not at the same "percentage-wise" pace as last year, but still a very relevant accumulation...
Because of all that, and mostly because of bull market expectations, I have decided to add the Staked HBD goal to my yearly list! This goal will probably "eat" some of my HIVE that I would usually power up... During the last year, I converted most of my HBD author rewards in HIVE and powered up on #HivePUD-s... This year, I will not do that... I will try to take some of my author rewards (HBD) and put them into savings... Speaking of the snowball effect, it should work out well in the HBD example as of 15% APR on savings...
Also, during the last year, I was converting my Hive-Engine token profits into HivePower... This year, I will try to convert most of those tokens into the HBD, and make them work for my Staked HBD goal! You will notice that I don't have staked HBD on this account, but I'm doing that on my gaming account (diversifying risk π).
The 3rd, MAIN goal for this year will be the number of LIVE Hive Meetups that I plan to attend during 2025! This is very hard to "predict" as I have no idea if there will be as many meetups as I imagined... π I will try to attend at least 5 (bigger) meetups this year!! For now, I know about 2 that SHOULD happen this year, and the rest 3, we will see... If you plan to organize one, don't forget to send me an invitation... π Help me to reach this goal! π
In 2024, I attended 2 big meetups, #BuzzParty in Hamburg and #HiveFest in Split... Along with that, I organized a meetup in Novi Sad last summer, and I had at least two smaller meetups in Spain (Zaragoza and Madrid)... It is kind of 5 meetups, but I hope we will have more events like the first two that I mentioned, with 10+ (or more) Hivians in one place! Of course, I like smaller meetups and I will try to attend those too...
Gaming Goals
These are goals that I will try to keep more flexible and keep them as pure fun... As I enjoy playing Rising Star, I will do a similar goal as I did last year... My Rising Star goal for 2025 will be to reach 70K cards... It is over 10K more than I did last year, and almost DOUBLE what I have now... I will have to stretch a bit more to get there... But, it should be fun...
To make things more interesting, I have decided to add one more gaming goal! I'm not sure how many of you know, but I'm also playing the Golem Overlord game, almost from their launch... I had no idea how it worked for the first few weeks, and probably because of that, I dropped in rankings at the beginning... At the moment I'm ranked at 386th place, and it's not that easy to progress up as others are pushing hard too! My Golem Overlord goal for 2025 will be to reach at least the 350th position in the game!
These are my initial numbers and goals for 2025, created on January 5th, 2025...

The HBD goals seems pretty ambitious to me but I'm looking forward to seeing whether you manage to get there ;-)
Maybe I'm too optimistic that HIVE will go a lot higher and I will be able to convert some into HBD? π
It could be too high... We will see if I will manage to reach that one...
Hehe! A GO goal! That might be a nice one to add myself, although I am much lower in the ranking for whatever reason, lol.
I have a feeling that I will have a lot of trouble reaching that goal... lol... I checked my rankings today and I went down 2 places... lol... Until now, I had only goals that would go up, but this one, the number goes down... π
Where is Hive Fest going to be in 2025? Has it been announced yet?
Posted using The BBH Project
It is usually announced at the beginning of summer or such... Last time, I had some hints where it would be, but this time, I have no idea... I suppose we will have to wait and see... Or if you want to organize it, you can get in contact with Roeland... π
It is so sweet to buy those cheap Hive under $0.2 right?
Congrats on taking profit on those buys. I still on my goal, not thinking of powering down and taking profit although it is so tempting to do, but I have to shift my focus from accumulating Hive to stakign HBD instead , because of the current Hive market price, I think we are fairly in the same direction, only I am a lot smaller than yours, hahaha
have a great day and Happy New Year my friend.

yes to buy the next bear :)
Get the sweet juicy cheap Hive. :)
Yup... It is hard to predict what will happen in 2025... Despite that everyone is talking about the bull market, nobody can know the future and what will (or not) happen... Anyways, the general rule is the same... If the HIVE price goes up, it's time to accumulate HBD, if it goes down, well, use that HBD to accumulate more HIVE... :)
Wealthy New Year to you too!! π·
I have no doubt this is gonna be a crazy year, man. Good luck with your goals and I agree with you. Hive was easy to buy when it was 20 cents, now it's not so easy to buy it when it's 60 cents.
By the way, where do you think the Hive price can go the most in the bull season? I used to have the opportunity to ask you this question on Fridays but now I only ask you here XD
It's interesting that it does look like an easy thing, but not many were doing it... For many, it's easier to buy when it's a bigger price and everyone is doing it... Of course, from the financial side, that makes no sense at all... π
hahahaha... and you know from my previous answers that I don't like those "predictions" at all... To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised with this recent pump, seeing HIVE at almost 70 cents! Before that, I would say that $1 HIVE would be great to see... Now, I'm not sure... Maybe we can go even higher...
In the end, markets will do the opposite of what we are "hoping to see"... So, maybe this was the top? π€
We both know this is about the fomo, right? When it was 20 cents people thought Hive was dead but now everyone thinks they missed something, I'll be honest I didn't expect a pump like this right now and I was caught off guard but it's not the end of the world.
People's price expectation has grown a lot, there are people waiting for 10 dollars or at least 5 dollars. I saw one user on Twitter waiting for $100. If Hive hits $100 you'll be a millionaire man!
Hahaha... I will me a multi-millionaire... π π€£
Your goals and plans seem quite reasonable. You should be quite comfortable with buying hive for 20 cents. When the hive price is high, it makes sense to stake HBD. When the hive price drops, it may be profitable to break the staked HBDs and buy hive.
Exactly! That's what I did during this year... When HIVE went down, I unstaked my HBD and bought HIVE... Now, it should be the other way around... We will see what happens...
I guess a few of the powering down witnesses might buy back when it's lower. I read a post where a witness was being blasted for selling over 2 million hive lol and it was hilarious. I think think you don't have much goals. On the contrary your goals are to stay the course and do what you do best. Mine is to stay alive, healthy and perhaps take a little profit if hive enters the 4$ range.

My observation about witnesses powering down was only observation, not judging them for doing that... I plan to sell some of my HIVE too and take some profits, or to buy later for cheaper... Actually, I'm doing that all the time and it is one of the biggest "ways" of how I power up my HIVE...
If one sells, the other is buying... IMO, it is healthy to see that... as when someone buys at 60c HIVE, they will not sell it easily for cheaper, so we are getting more diamond hands that will wait higher price to sell and stop the price (from dropping) by HODLing all the time...
That's a nice taking profit price! Even I would be tempted to power down if we get there... π
I hope that you will stay healthier than ever!!! Take care! πͺ
Haha I'm not judging, I don't imply you're judging. I was only saying that could be the possible playbook: selling to buy back cheaper. It's an incredible and simple way to actually compound only that it takes a few years but it's always effective.
Inevitably I will power down to sell just a little and take some profit at 4$ I have a feeling we might hit 6$
Thanks for the kind words, I've had my own share of chronic illnesses and complications and health issues important to me.
Good luck with your goals this year, surely they will all be achieved. Best regards.
Thank you very much! I will do my best to achieve them!
SΓ© que lo harΓ‘s π
good looking goals! The meet ups will be interesting!
Hehehehe... Thanks...
The meetup goal is there to spice-up things and to make all those more REAL and not just "virtual"! π
That looks like some good goals. Good luck. It's weird to see Hive pump up so much but I don't really blame anyone for taking some profits. I think we should still be building our positions but that might not be the case for the whales.
It is weird to see HIVE pumping before other altcoins, especially as it was a lot of time "under the radar"... Not blaming people for taking profits at all... We need more new HODLers and users, and they have to get to their HIVE tokens in some way... π
Okay, your goals are quite impressive, especially the stake HBD part. I've been enjoying the 15%APR for a while now and I think it is a good idea to stake HBD too. I wish you the best.
Thanks! I did have some staked HBD maybe a year ago... But when the HIVE price slipped under 40 cents and continued going down, I unstaked my HBD step by step, accumulating more HIVE... Until I was left with 0 HBD π
I will try to stick to that story in the next bear market... But to get there, gotta accumulate some HBD before! π
That's a good point, with high price of hive you can't power up and buy the same amount as when 0,2$... But numbers are relative, if hive goes 100$ next December, if you powered up 100 hive during the year, you made the day π
It would be great to see HIVE at $100 π... I would be a millionaire! π€£
Anyways, I will try to go step by step... Don't like to dream a lot... π
Growing is fun and also something achievable if one's mind is committed to it. I love the change in your goals this year and it's like trying something different β¨οΈ all the best in achieving all your goals.
Thank you very much!
Did you create your HIVE goals for 2025? Where will you put your focus?
Haha wow! Didn't know that. Good luck with your Hive Goals!
!LUV
In some way, they have to power down some HIVE as there are costs to pay with running node(s)... At this moment, we have a relatively low cost for the Liotes Hive Witness node, but if we were in the Top 20, we would have to run at least 3-4 machines to get it run smoothly...
Thanks!!
Ah I see!

Great work with your Hive goals. Staying committed and seeing the opportunity that others were not patient for.
Thanks!
Interestingly, I had a thought this morning of writing a post about the "psychology of everything"... π If I knew that everything is connected with the psychology of humans, I wouldn't study IT... π€£
π Happy new years wish you the best on all your goals π
Thank you very much!!
Wealthy New Year to you too!!! πͺ π
Very much appreciated, thank you!
These goals are achievable!
We will see what happens during the year... I could fail if I got tempted by the HIVE price... Imagine HIVE going over 3-4 USD, not sure I would keep my word to not power down some... π
