8000 Hive Power - Get in there!!!

There are a lot of us out there in the Hive world that started off with 5 Hive and basically grew organically from there. In a lot of ways it is the hardest way to grow and really buying 1000 hive right at the beginning is a much better idea, as that first 1000 is by far and away the hardest to accumulate and it actually took me years, but back then my posting quality was not as good as today and I posted sporadically. These days I post every single day and that has paid of a paved the way from my continued growth here.

It honestly doesn't feel like that long ago since I had under 1,000 Hive Power and having grown my account from scratch that first 1,000 was without a doubt the most difficult to accumulate. What has happened since then has been unbelievable. I committed to posting every day of the week, with the odd missed day here and there and because of that dedication and regular quality posting, I fairly quickly hit and passed other milestones, each one coming a little quicker than the last. 2,000 did take a while alright, but nothing in comparison to the first 1,000. Then, earlier this year I passed 3,000, March to be exact. I wrote a post about that actually and 81 days later I hit another milestone, as I accelerated past 4,000 Hive Power, I think that was some time in May, and 5,000 came around mid June I think, followed by 6,000 Hive Power on August 1st. Somewhere along the way I lost the support of brilliant and very kind whale, which slowed the progress a little, but I dusted myself down and on September 28th I passed through the 7,000 barrier, and today 53 days later on November 20th I am knocking down another barrier on my way to 10K Hive Power. Hello and goodbye 8000K Hive Power!

I set myself a very lofty target near the start of 2022 to try to reach 10,000 Hive Power by the end of the year, so let's see how close I can get. I've just notched another thousand on the road towards that target as I surpassed 8,000 Hive Power today. My curation will be worth a little more and the APR on HP is 3.03%, so you never know what might happen. Yep, I am a glass half full guy all the way!

20% APR and low risk

I have some HBD cooking away making me a yield of 20% APR, so if I get really close to 10,000K, I can always liquidate that to make the final push to 10,000K Hive Power. There is just something about numbers and going from a 4 digit number of 9,999 to 10,000 which is magnificent and significant too. There will come a time when not many people will be able to get to 10,000 Hive Power and above if the price does what I think it will do in the next ten years.

Once I hit my target of 10,000HP, I will start to increase my HBD holdings. Perhaps a good approach would be to bank half and convert half to Hive and then power it up on HPUD day. Do you guys bank some of your HBD and if so how much? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.

Spreading The Word

I'm a talker. You may have guessed that from my posts! Every day blabbing on about something or other! So, it should not come as a surprise to learn that I've always been one to tell family and friends about Hive and Crypto in general and for a long time this was met with raised eyebrows and blank expressions, but lately people want to know more and the barriers to getting in are constantly lowering. The 20% APR mentioned above is a perfect example of how to attract people, not 124,678% APR for some Johnny Come lately Shitcoin or Token that is highly speculative.

Most investments are in some way speculative and pretty much all Crypto is speculative, but it is a matter of being cute and considered with just how speculative you want to be.

Remember

I said a while back in a post that "For the shits and giggles, let's see where minimum double digit growth of 10% per month will take me to." and the below was the projection.

End of Jan - 3300 HP End of Feb - 3630 HP End of Mar - 4123 HP End of Apr - 4535 HP End of May - 4989 HP End of Jun - 5488 HP End of Jul - 6037 HP End of Aug - 6641 HP End of Sep - 7245 HP End of Oct - 7969 HP End of Nov - 8728 HP End of Dec - 9501 HP

I'm tracking fairly well here now, and we have 10 days of November still to come and some great value Hive when converting any curation HBD, so let's keep it going and drive on!

Thanks to the Community

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. Thanks a million to all of my friends on Hive for your kind support over the years. It's very much appreciated, and I look forward to growing with you all for the rest 2022 and into 2023 and beyond.

Some people see the current slump in value for Hive as a negative, I don't. That would only be the case if I saw Hive as a short or medium term punt, I do not. I see it as a long term play and one that can be potentially very lucrative. The way the price is currently means that I can continue to buy Hive cheap for my earned HBD and keep powering up. Hive has been up around $3 in value in the past year and I can see no reason why it cannot get to those heights and beyond again, so take advantage now and continue to grow, post and engage. There is so much to learn from the various communities and there is the added advantage that you can grow wealth as well.

But, back to my friends on here, I literally would not be here only for the engagement and support of the community and there is no other place online where people are so helpful and altruistic. Let's keep it that way and look out for each other and support each other.

That's all for today.
