At the beginning of each month, I try to get an idea of how I'm evolving on Hive. I've set some goals that I want to achieve until the end of 2025 and I try to keep track of it to see whether I'm doing enough to reach them.
At the end of 2024, I wrote a post in which I listed my goals for 2025. By the end of 2025, I want to reach 80'000 Hive Power and 16'000 HBD. So far 33 days have past since I've set my goals, or 9.02% of the year. This means that I should have collected 9.02% of the tokens to reach my goals. I look at it like my benchmark. If I'm above the benchmark, I'm doing well. If I'm below, I'm not on track to reach my goals.
| Token | Start level | Today | Goal | Increase % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 72'024 | 72'883 | 80'000 | 10.76% |
| HBD | 15'005 | 15'022 | 16'000 | 1.7% |
For 2025, I consciously set lower goals that in the past. What I can say for the first month is that I'm doing well enough for HP where I'm above benchmark. But I'm quite far from the benchmark for HBD.
January activity
I created 7 posts during the month or January which is close to what I want to do. It would be great if I managed to write at least 8 posts per month but 7 is not that far from that. These 7 posts and the organic growth were more or less responsible for my HP growth. I would also have enough HBD if I had simply taken the interests on my savings and put everything back there. That's not what I did. I used my HBD and swapped some tokens for other currencies like Solana and Sui. I started to experiment on these chains with strategies using concentrated liquidity pools. I will need to transfer some more money there to increase my positions. In the long term, I hope that I will be able to bring my profits from these chains back to hive.
Powering up some Hive
Since today is also Hive Power Up day, I powered up 100 Hive. There was a time when I used to power up 1000 Hive per month but most of my income sources have dried out a bit and I've to content myself with 100 this month. I hope to develop new income streams on other chains so that I can increase the size of my future power ups...
Have you been able to power up some hive today?

You're making good progress as always. As for me, I believe just continuing the path I set for myself (1 post a day powered up) should suffice again for 2025.
