Powering up 696.969 Hive for HPUD

Hey friends! Happy HPUD once again!

Times are uncertain, but we keep moving along. The hive protocol keeps working as intended and new developments are constantly being pushed out by users.

I originally did a power up of 69.420 HIVE

But later in the day decided to bump it up a bit to 696.969 HIVE instead.

This small power up is part of my 8 year plan (which started in September 2022) to reach 250,000 HP. Today is day 1242 of 2671, which is 46.5% of my journey.

Let's look at how I've done.

As you can see from this chart, I've lagged quite a bit. I was supposed to be at 89,668 HP today, but I'm only at 66,172 HP. I'm 23,496 HP away from my goal, which is -26.20%.

Date	HP Goal	Actual HP	variation %
1 Feb '26	89,668	66,172	-26.20%

Date	HP Goal	Actual HP
13 Aug '23	45,060	44,177
22 Dec '23	48,618	48,588
31 Dec '23	48,980	48,745
31 Dec '24	63,450	57,730
31 Dec '25	83,169	65,000
31 Dec '26	109,274	---
31 Dec '27	138,839	---
31 Dec '28	170,681	---
21 Oct '29	200,000	---

Not great, but also not terrible. I do have around 5,000 HIVE lying around. I might choose to power that up this month since I'm not doing anything with it. I tend to leave a bit of liquid HIVE just in case I need to make a payment with my Hive account@zypto card - I can top up my visa card with HIVE and pay with my mobile phone - or so I can take some profit in case of a incredible run up in price to $1, which seems unlikely in the near future.

I could potentially pick some HIVE on the open market too. $0.08278 is a bargain. We'll see.

I'll also be manually curating authors that create content that is

• Valuable to the ecosystem
• Interesting/valuable to me
• From users who are valuable to the community
• Shows effort
• Original

The posts I vote on don't have to meet all criteria; just any one of the ones listed above with the highest weight given to the first category.

Stay amazing fellow freedomnauts! I wish you a great journey to independence.
