HELLO February 2025!
It's the 1st day of the month and that means it's HIVE Power Up Day again! ππ Just like that, the ONE MONTH of the year of 2025 has gone past us already! π±βοΈ
The past month in crypto has been quite the rollercoaster. Around mid-January, Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high of over $108,000, fueled by optimism surrounding President Trump's pro-crypto policies and the launch of his meme coin. However, the excitement was short-lived. Following the announcement of 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, investors flocked to gold, causing Bitcoin to dip below $100,000. As of now, BTC is hovering around $102,215, with attempts to break past the $105,000 mark proving challenging.
In other news, Grayscale's launch of a Dogecoin Trust has added a new dimension to the market. Initially created as a joke, Dogecoin has grown significantly, now ranking as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap,
HIVE, on the other hand, has shown remarkable resilience. It broke past $0.40 multiple times and, instead of retreating to pre-pump levels, has maintained a higher support level. Currently, HIVE is trading at approximately $0.397. This stability suggests that savvy investors might be positioning themselves for the anticipated alt season.
Regardless, I still remain bullish on the long term future of BTC and HIVE. Is this the last opportunity to accumulate more at current prices before it moons beyond no return? Who knows? I believe in the long term and will stick to my regular DCA regardless. πππ
Another month in this year has gone by in a flash! I've joined HIVE since November 2021 and I'm still learning so many new things everyday! I first heard of Hive Power Up Day in January 2022 and all its other acronyms (PUD, PUM, PUH π what a mouthful) and I've participated in HPUD every month since then!
- I've attained yet another PUM badge for the month! π π₯³ (at least 1 post/powerup everyday!).
Ever since I started with the HPUM initiative in 2022, I've tried my best to faithfully make one blog post everyday in an attempt to get the Hive Power Up Month badge. I've managed to make it successfully for 9 out of 12 months in 2022, and then improved on it in 2023 with 10 out of 12 months! I have managed to maintain a similar 10/12 result in 2024 again and I will be attempting to get as many as I can again (perhaps a perfect score?) in 2025! π₯³π―
Another successful month of making at least ONE post a day with 100% to HIVE powered up (or powering up 1 HIVE). π₯³
This makes it 1 month (thus far) where I managed this achievement IN THIS CURRENT year of 2025.
Blogging regularly and having the HPUM to incentivize me has other tangible benefits too! I've seen my Hive Power grow quite a fair bit. This seems like a good practice which I intend to continue keeping up with!
In my VERY FIRST month before before I ever heard about Hive Power Up Day/Month, I was at just 47 HP π (Before Jan 1st 2022).
This month, before I've even powered up anything at all, I'm already at 13,784 HP! πππ
That's how consistent blogging on HIVE, with (mostly) 100% allocated to Hive Power, improved my HIVE account!
And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! β‘οΈπͺ (1st February 2025)
Once again, I only have enough HIVE set aside for a 10HP powerup, but I'm sure with my continued efforts to blog with 100% powered up to HIVE, I will be able to grow my Hive Power even more!
Using https://hivestats.io/, I was able to pull out a chart showing my daily account growth for the past month too. Great to see that orange graph head upwards continually ππ! If only my stocks portfolio and the price of HIVE looked like that too ππ€.
π°π°π°πΈπΈπΈπ€π€π€πππ
As always, I usually make just the minimum powerup of 10 HIVE. This is because there are so many projects that I'm now invested in. The HIVE ecosystem is so much bigger than what I had thought it was when I first joined. I believe my constant allocation of most of my daily posts being 100% powered up is sufficient to grow my Hive Power daily. The rest of any funds from HIVE will usually be kept for other projects that are of interest to me (on HIVE of course π).
As always, I'll like to explain that the reason why I do not powerup every single bit of HIVE/HBD I get every month from my blogging is because I like to keep some liquidity around to invest in HIVE projects that I feel have some potential.
It is no secret by now that quite a bit of my extra funds lying around HIVE has been channelled into the Wrestling Organization Online aka WOO project! π€
After months of talking about WOO during my HPUD posts, I am glad to say that WOO has FINALLY launched the game proper! All players can use their WOO assets, play the game, and earn $WOO tokens. The game has not yet exploded in terms of player numbers since it is so new, but there are already launch campaigns to give it the boost it needs!
It might seem like just another day in the WOO universe, but behind the scenes, something incredible has been happeningβthe community has rallied together to support wrestling legend Perry Saturn! When word got out that Perryβs furnace had broken down in the middle of a brutal Minnesota winter, WOO fans wasted no time stepping up. The temperatures outside? A staggering -6Β°F (-21Β°C)βnot exactly the kind of weather you want to face without heat.
Thanks to a swift call to action from @bookerman, donations started pouring in from the WOO and HIVE communities. And let me tell you, it wasnβt just a trickleβover $660 was raised in no time! A huge shoutout to @aggroed from Splinterlands/Arcade Colony for dropping a massive 500 Hive tokens to help out. This generosity meant that Perry could grab multiple space heaters to keep himself warm while waiting for repairs. Wrestling fans might be known for their passion in the ring, but this? This was next-level dedication.
Moments like this remind us why WOO is such a special project. Itβs not just about the game, the AMAs, or the upcoming physical TCG (which, letβs be honest, is shaping up to be a banger). Itβs about the peopleβthe fans, the wrestlers, and the community that keeps it all going. Perry himself has given so much to WOO, and now WOO has given back to him. Thatβs something worth celebrating.
If you havenβt yet, take a moment to check out WOO. Whether you're here for the wrestling nostalgia, the card battles, or just to be part of something bigger, thereβs a place for you in this community. And if this fundraiser proves anything, itβs that WOO isnβt just a gameβitβs family. ππ₯
I'll see you all again during the next Power Up Day next month with another update! Till then, See you and WAGMI! πππ»π¦πͺπ»
