Hive Power Up Day (#HivePUD) is here again and it's the first time I'm no longer eligible for the main prizes due to going over 8,000 HP! I'm still taking part though as it's a great initiative and an excellent time to write a post about my Hive goals and progress too!
So - I've just powered up 500 Hive (I think I still get @hivebuzz badges as I think that's a separate thing to the HPUD prizes - so I should hopefully get a level 4 Bee!)

Ok now you've powered up here's another update on my finances and Hive goals (TLDR - things are looking good!)...
My Hive Activities
I seem to have found more time to post and comment in the last month - and that's paying off in terms of rewards. I'd added quite a bit of HP just from that even before my power up today. The difference in my HP from a month ago before the power up is a very nice 212HP. I think that's all from post/comment/curation rewards (I don't think anything else I've done would have given me more HP anyway).
I'm holding a sizeable amount of BRO as well as some holdings in SIM, BXT, UTOPIS and INCOME - all chosen because they pay out liquid Hive in one way or another. (more about that below...)
Rising Star Update
I am of course still holding 1 million Starbits for the Rising Star millionaire mission. I'm playing the game very actively and currently trying to grow my fanbase as much as possible. I'm at 60,000 fans right now and growing at something like 1,500 fans a week through focusing on buying cards with fans (instead of buying packs).
BTW: it's super easy to prioritise buying fans using the site: https://rsgfam.com/ by the fabulous @foxon (thank you!).
Of course you do then have to grow your skill to keep on top of EGO, but I seem to be able to do that sufficiently right now with at least one music lesson per day (I'm currently getting 105 to 209 skill from a Basic Singing Lesson).

Hive Holdings
Ok here's where I'm at compared to the three previous updates in December 21, February 22 and 1 month ago:
| 9 December 21 | 8 February 22 | 01 July 22 | 01 August 22 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hive Power | 5619 | 6556 | 8641 | 9353 |
| HBD/Savings | 67.4 | 10.6 | 0 | 180 |
| BRO | <500 | <500 | 1402 ($3579)1 | 1427 ($6060) |
| SIM | ? | ? | 900k ($183) | 930k ($308) |
| BXT | ? | ? | 90 ($159) | 96 ($263) |
| Utopis | ? | ? | ? | 413 ($96) |
| Workerbee | ? | ? | 50 ($66) | 50 ($72) |
| Starbits | 1 mil | 1 mil | 1mil ($92) | 1mil ($60) |
| Earnings (p/w)2 | ? | ? | ? | 18.43 |
Notes:
The numbers in brackets are the dollar equivalent according to LeoDex at the time I recorded that figure. This later point could make some interesting future comparisons of the FIAT value of my holdings in those tokens.
I've stopped tracking details of weekly earnings as it was pretty hard to do - but this month I'm adding back in an estimate of just the liquid Hive dividends I'm receiving per week - this is from BRO, INCOME, BXT, UTOPIS and SIM.
Progress against goals for 2022
- Increase my Hive Power to 10,000HP
This is now more or less in the bag. I have 300 liquid Hive still which I'll keep liquid for now in case of other opportunities but if I powered that up I'd be on 9,653.
And this month I grew by more than 200HP from posting/commenting/voting so even if I do use that liquid Hive for other things I should meet this goal before the end of the year.
- Increase my followers to 250
I'm at 248 up from 230 last month so 2 more to go! And then I'll have a think about whether to extend this goal to 300.
NB: I don't think followers are the be all and end all on Hive and I'm not hung up on this number particularly. I mainly picked this goal because I wanted to give myself the extra encouragement to make a lot of effort with engagement. And indeed I have been making more effort at engaging with others posts/comments - which brings so many more benefits than (potentially) more followers.
- Weekly earnings of 100 Hive
I've stopped trying to track all the various ways I'm earning on Hive. However, if I just look at the easy(er) to track things here are some estimates at weekly earnings from the last month:
- liquid Hive from dividends: 18.43 p/w
- HP growth p/w (excluding my HIVE PUD power up): 48
- HBD growth p/w: 41 (currently worth 33 Hive)
We can see that I did achieve around 100 Hive per week this month. Those things aren't necessarily going to stay that way though - I did more posting than usual this month and the Hive price affects it quite a bit. So let's keep looking at this one and see how things go in the coming months.
Summary and Thanks
Thanks for reading! I would love to hear in the comments if you have also powered up. I notice that Hive had a big pump over night ($0.8 at time of writing up from below $0.5). Is it the end of the Bear market? Does it even matter to you?
Extra special big thanks this month to @benthomaswwd and @iamraincrystal - both who have been curating lots of my posts lately for @aliveandthriving - you guys rock and I really appreciate it.

And thanks as ever to @stickupboys for getting me started on this wild Hive journey (and for generally and consistently being super awesome).
And finally - have a wonderful day Hive!

❤️ Thank you! ❤️
I'm also playing Rising Star, the only difference is lately I have been buying 12 packs to increase fans in the hope that I get a legendary. Atm, I'm at 76k fans mainly because a month ago I go lucky and opened a Jux, which allowed me to be able to buy packs much faster. Also I am buying tons of mics, atm I get an average of 1,000 skill per lesson with a total of 131,000 skill, but it's not enough to keep up, because with drunk fans pushing me up to around 100k fans I am having ego problems.
I'm curious to know which level you're at, have you unlocked all the four islands yet?
I'm at level 93 so on the third island for a while yet.
That's interesting that with 76K fans to my 60k fans you have a lot more microphones than me and getting around 10x the skill per lesson than I am and you are struggling with ego. That suggests I'm going to hit the same problem fairly soon and have to invest a lot more in microphones/instruments myself. I have 83k skill total, about half from cards and half from lessons.
Congrats on the legendary!
Every night I try do two 5 hour missions while sleeping with the hopes of bottling up almost 10K drunk fans and then I do a bunch of long missions in the morning to bottle up as many drunks as possible and then I open them all up when I am ready to do all the small missions.
Although, I am not sure the exact amount, but for now, it looks like I need to have a buffer of maybe 50k more skill than fans. For instance, yesterday with all the drunks, I had 96k fans and 137k skill and an ego of 2.
Here is a look at my account in the morning, while I prepare and before I unbottle all the drunk fans.
Hopefully this information helps.
Oh I see - that's a good trick with the drunk fans - you are using them much more efficiently than me.
I currently have a buffer of about 8-10k skill more than I have permanent fans and just use drunk fans as soon as I get them. I can see you way probably makes better use of them - I'd need a few more whiskey bottles (I only have 2 right now) - do you think your strategy is worth the extra effort it takes?
!PIZZA !BEER !WINE !LUV !ALIVE
Tbh, I only have 3 whisky bottles and I am thinking about getting a fourth, so I only store the larger amounts of fans, and I always keep one empty when doing longer missions.
I think the whisky bottles are extremely important, it's the equivalent to having an extra 10k to 20k fans. Using this method and with all four land masses opened, if I manage to have a perfect day, were I'm always in a mission, I can make between 50k to 60k starbits in a day, but most days I make just over 40K, because I either over sleep or I have long periods where forget to do missions.
The most important missions are those 5 and 10 minute ones, so in 3 or 4 hours I earn 80% of those starbits for the day and then it takes a dedicated 20 hours to squeeze out the last 20% of starbits.
The veteran players advised me to buy XpBoost when I first started, because of how overpowered they are, so I bought a 50 and a 100, which really helped me to level up. I've heard that it takes 2 years to level up without them, but I think it's taken me about 4 months to get to level 300 with the boosts.
Do you have any XpBoosts?
Super interesting info thank you!
No I don't have any XpBoosts - and I've been going about 10 months to get to level 91. So your XpBoosts have made a big difference, I hard a look today but they are crazy expensive now.
I will try and adopt some of your strategy of focusing on getting more drunk fans for the short missions though - I reckon I could earn a bit more that way.
Thanks again.

Nice goals update! Going strong there and I'm sure you will reach your goals easily :)
Now that Hive is a bit up, I regret having a few 100% powered up posts lol. These amounts in HP were nice until yesterday but now they've dropped.. shame :) lol
Back to 50/50 I guess!
!CTP
Ah yeah - as ever we never know what will happen in advance - the main thing is to keep going!
8000HP - woohoo! That's amazing. :)
Wonder why the price of Hive has jumped so much...?

Great progress. You should easily double what you had at the end of last year by December. Maybe we are close to that 'tipping point' when things really take off and you are in a good place for that. Imagine when your vote is worth over a dollar! I've been here six years and I'm still excited.
See you in Amsterdam!
!PIZZA
Thanks Steve - it's really encouraging to hear you are still excited after 6 years!
See you in Amsterdam!

Great goal you have got there, slow and steady winning the race and by this time next year you should be far ahead
