Haha yeah 45k HP is a lot, I don't believe it sometimes when I see it but I'm not planning on powering down for a while yet! There's some goals I want to achieve with HP but I hope to spread the rewards out as much as I can both manually when I'm online and via curation trails that support newer people to the platform!
How do I get to that level?
For me it was a combination of luck, spending money and posting/being around actively for the last 2 and a bit years.
Luck & Spending Money - I bought about 22k Steem and powered up when the prices were low from around August 2019 - Feb 2020. This increased my stake to about 30k as I had already earned, won or received about 8k by then.
Then Hive came about and matched what I had in Steem so 32k HP already there, then I sold my Steem off because I do not like what it's become and wanted to get my initial investment back. This left about 10k HP that I could power up and I've spent a bit of money to increase my holdings still. That's how I'm on 45k HP 😃
Posting - this is something I've done pretty regularly and trying to comment like you are. Things were a bit tougher when I first joined but there's been a lot of developments and concerted effort to welcome and help new users like yourself who want to explore and have a "go go geddit" attitude - it's great to see and you'll do very well here!
Let's see how you are getting on in 2 more years 😃
Treat me kind like the others I guess
Hahaha! Of course! I treat everyone like I would a friend (unless they've done something "unfriendly-like") and expect some banter ("sailing close to the wind" as @fionasfavourites likes to put it) but my door is always open!
I just may be a little slow sometimes because I'm involved in quite a lot of things and I'm only one person - need some clones lol 😄
Oh, geez @nickyhavey - no clones, phu-leeze! One of you is enough! We can't cope - especially given how close you sail to the wind.... 😁
That said, @beckie96830, he is right.... 🤦♀
Haha, you make a good point - i.e. I am right 👼
😂😂😂
I have to agree with @fionafavourites. One of you is enough please. I can't deal with two😂😂😂
I totally understand everything you said. I'll just need to consistent in posting and curating others.
I know things will be a lot easier for me before the year runs out.
And please don't consider clones. Do your activities one step at a time.
LOL ok, point taken, the world obviously can't handle double the legend so one is enough 😂
Yeah that's it, consistency wins out in the long run but have fun with it all and if you need a break, take a break by all means, there's no pressure. The steepest learning curve is at the beginning, then it becomes steady (but never plateaus)!
Thanks for the advice too - definitely taking it one at a time - getting a whiteboard was a great purchase, very helpful to keep on top of the tasks!
I'll definitely take a break especially when school resumes.
OMG I can't believe I'd go back to school and go through the stress all over. I'm just grateful that I'm at the last lap.
I wonder what I would have done if I had just started. I don't think I'll even consider it.
I like this. Sometimes your words out me off track 😂😂😂. I guess I'll have it at the back of my mind throughout the hive journey.
Thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah! Last lap sounds exciting, final push and then it's out of the way and you have your life ahead of you!
Haha, well, life is one big learning experience so you may as well chuck in some extracurricular activities that are fun and give you a little something in return with Hive hey? 😃
I want hive to be my extracurricular activity😂😂
I just can't wait to finish really. It's taking a whole lot of time especially with this covid issue.
I wonder what lies ahead in the future. A whole lot I guess. Don't really know but I'm hopeful that it's going to be what I planned for. Don't want to be disappointed.
Thank you very much for your response. I hope I'm not bothering you in you extra activities.
Well you can always reply whenever you're free.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Haha, I do too! It's why I'm trying to get a good position while the going is good here so one day, I can travel and earn on HIVE for a living! A few years away yet I think but worth building on now.
It's great to have ambitions but I've found that your ambitions also change as you live and learn from the grand University that is life itself. Do your best in whatever you do and you'll see results in one form or another!
Sorry for the late reply, lots of extracurricular stuff going on that isn't Hive related haha!
I can never be offended for your late response. You're not a robot that's designed to be replying messages all day😂😂😂😂
As long as you put in efforts to reply once you're free I'm cool with that. We problem have different time zone so you can't be sleeping and I'll be expecting you to respond from your sleep 😂😂😂
Thank you very much for these kind words. Like I said and will always say, you always fall through with your kind words🤭🤭🤭
I'm still putting in my very best until I have had a stable ground in hive. There are a lot of things to do and discover and I'm getting there one step at a time.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
