This is going to be a short post. It is HPUD - power up day! This month I have been a very busy bee and consistently powered up 10 Hive / day - yay me. You could say that I am

Fully committed to Hive

Because today I am powering up another 820 or so Hive. I have written previously about how I lost the joy of playing Splinterlands and thus started selling many of my assets. It was not a great financial decision because the price of all cards had decreased so much... at one point my beloved Byzantine Kitty was worth over US$850, look at what it is now - sad panda. But me being me, I wanted to have a clear cut and so I sold many, many of my cards for a 'good for the buyer' price, although for some it was still not low enough (yes, looking at you @mypathtofire) to buy - LOL. Oh, and if you're curious how I had so many cards to sell in the first place? I invested good ol' US dollars and bought Hive and DEC to buy the cards back in 2021/2022.

But it's all good. I feel like I am finally finding myself again with making my art and with blogging next to a busy work schedule. That feels good. Of course, not all days, but overall much better than I have been - fingers crossed.

And as far as Hive goes - I'll keep on blogging, maybe writing silly things and sharing my art here. Oh, and on that silly writing note, it still irks me that I used an AI generated picture in my previous post, so I am making it official here that I will not be doing that again. I honestly don't know why, well, I do - time - is why I did it but that shall not be an excuse: No further AI generated pictures her on my account. The writing has been mine all the time.

And here it is - this is my power up for Hive Power Up Day in October, 2024. From now on I'll be powering up once a week or two or whenever I have got a few Hive from my activities on here. No more waiting for HPUD. It is not worth it. Putting the Hive into your own stake so that your upvote is worth more is of much higher value to me.

Till next time!

Have a great rest of your day!

Glad to see you are doing good with your art and blogging. That can be a tough road most of the time. LOL.

Yeah I'm thinking of selling some of my SL stuff too and just keep enough to play a few battles.

Yeah, it has been a little rough the past few months, perseverance is the key. I'm still not creating as much art as I'd like to but for now I have found my balance. Luckily I don't need to make a living with art & blogging.

SL always makes me sad because I used to have so much fun with the game and the guild and then over all the internal /external fighting and stuff happening it all went poof for me. I tried playing a few times but I just wasn't in it. So eventually I sold most cards, most good cards. Mind you, I still have 213k power.

LOL! Yeah I am not buying too many cards at the moment! Great Hive Power Up! Just in time for Uptober!

I thought that it might have been a good time to stock up on cards, well, if you're going to stick with the game.

Thank you - guess what? This power up made me a cute little dolphin - LOL

It is low risk to buy the cards now near their burn rate, but no cards really grabbing my attention.

Congratulations on your Dolphinhood 🐬 🍾

I actually thought about remaining my remaining 200k power but the value was so little I decided to wait a bit

Yeah, it's gone down quite a bit

I have been a very busy bee and consistently powered up 10 Hive / day

Sweet! And you are a dolphin now too I see.
Ah Splinterlands I did try when I started Hive three years ago but it changed so much that I never got the bug.

Happy HPUD!
