I've been chasing this one for a long time now. In fact, I think it has been close to a year or more than I have been working towards 40K Hive Power. I vaguely remember hitting 30K HP. It seems like it was so long ago.

I have to be honest, this whole HBD thing really put the brakes on how quickly my account was growing. It's really hard to pass up 20% guaranteed returns though right? Some might argue that I can get equal or greater returns through curation with my HP, but the truth is, I suck at chasing curation rewards. I know it can be lucrative, but it just isn't something I enjoy.

Probably the same reason I am horrible at renting out my Splinterlands cards. The variables change so quickly that it is basically a full time job keeping up with the rent percentages. The same is true with curation. I don't want to get to the point where I find myself doing less manual curation at the expense of chasing some magical percentage.

I also could have hit 40K HP sooner if it hadn't been for Listnerds. I don't regret that either. For the past several months, a good deal of my liquid Hive has been going into the recurring subscription for LN. That's about 500 Hive that could have been powered up to help me hit my goal sooner.

Like I said though, I don't regret that. I have built up a pretty good position on Listnerds with that ~500 Hive and when that platform achieves the success it is destined for, it will pay off in spades. I am confident of that.


If you knew me in real life, you would know that I am a pretty anxious person. I am usually always keeping an eye out for the worst case scenario or often assuming it. When I go to a special event, I often spend the entire event thinking about how horrible the traffic is going to be getting out of said event.

That's just the way I am wired. It is a blessing and a curse all at the same time. As I get older, I have really been thinking about that and I have started to realize that my minutes are fixed. I need to be savoring each one versus thinking ahead to the minutes that haven't even happened yet.

I think the same is true with my Hive account. While setting goals is important and having a "finish line" in mind isn't a bad thing, I need to be sure I am enjoying the ride. Makes a lot of sense when you think about it right?

That isn't to say I am not having fun on Hive, but knowing how long it took me to get to 40K HP, the ride to 50K feels pretty daunting right now. I've already decided I am going to cut back on my Listnerds subscription a bit. I'm also making a small bet on vouchers right now, hoping the Rift pack hype can drive up the price for me to make a profit. It worked when licenses were released.

It would be nice if one of these secondary tokens would blow up suddenly. That could go a long way towards helping me boost my account.

I can't complain though, it has been a good year for me. 40K HP, 15K Leo, that's a lot to be proud of!
