Hello all! Another week and it's time again to do another #myhivegoals post, a series idea started by started by Hive account@jongolson. I'm going to look at the progress I've made on my Hive goals, as well as give a few tokens I'm looking at right now. If you are here for the comment SBI giveaway, well, we'll get to that too.

Let's start with my Hive goals.

~ Hive & HBD ~

My current goal is 25k Hive.

This past week I made 220.720 and then added on 100 for HPUD yesterday, bringing me to 18,795.160 total Hive Power. That's not too bad. If I could go up by 300 and some change every week I'd take it!

Anyway, 18,795.160 is 75.2% of my goal! Three-quarters of the way there!

Ok, math time. 25k minus 18,795.160 gives us 6204.84. Diving that out against the rapidly dwindling year, we get 68.2 HIVE needed everyday to hit 25k by the first of next year.

Man... even increasing a bit north of 300 this week and that daily amount needed is still going up! It was 66.6 last week. Well, at least we are no longer summoning the beast this week, so I guess I have that going for me, which is nice.

~ BRO, PIMP, and LGN ~

The first two of these are my secondary focus, after getting my HP up to 25k. But I am also always watching the price of LGN on the H-E exchange.

I didn't increase much in the first two, though. I earned 0.206 BRO putting me at 521.079 and I also earned 271.948 PIMP, putting me at 56,806.693. Inching up on both.

For LGN I saw the price dropped below .7 Hive, so I picked up 108 of it. Adding to the 0.504 I earned, that puts me at 776.276. LGN isn't doing much at the moment besides paying a daily dividend in HIVE, but Hive account@raymondspeaks has big plans. As soon as all this extra disappears from the market, the price will be set back at 1.4 HIVE (or whatever it was before the airdrop stopped) so anything below that is cheap! If you believe in Ray, pick it up now while you can! If I can manage to get 2k of it before the price goes back up, I'll be happy.

~ DBOND ~

Some more DBOND is on sale. If you missed the presale, now is a great time to pick it up! I am really tempted to get some more, but I'm resisting. HP is the focus, so I can't get into everything.

DBOND that is staked pays a little DAB everyday. DAB is going for around 4 Hive on the market right now, so if you sell it you can come out ahead. Hive account@bozz mentioned a good strategy that I'm going to start: sell the DAB earned now, then when the price if it falls, start staking it which will reward us in more DBOND.

That stuff out of the way, let's do our SBI drawing! If you are new here, I give away 5 shares of SBI every week to commenters on this post. If I get under five commenters, I try to divide it up as best as possible, and if I get over five, I do a random drawing.

So how about this week? Let's see... last post we had comments from Hive account@bitcoinflood Hive account@silverd510 Hive account@sirdelly Hive account@stekene Hive account@littlebee4 Hive account@hiro.guita Hive account@oasiskp2 Hive account@daddydog Hive account@beerbod

And the winners are...
