Foreword
Good day everyone! Would like to do a quick update on my Hive Saving Goal and its progress. We are coming close to the middle of 2025 and it is important to look at my current status and assess how big a gap to goal I am currently at. Many a times we are lacking on focus or deviate off course and this is why timely check ins are required. So let's look at where I am now.
2025 Goal Progress Check
Primary Goal: Reaching 18k HP by 31st December 2025
Secondary Goal: Stretch primary goal and push towards 20k HP by 31st December 2025
| Power | Start | Goal | Current |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hive Power (HP) | 10000 | 18000 | 13398 HP |
Delta to primary goal: 4602 HP
Delta to secondary goal: 6602 HP
I do have to admit, with a major project on my hands at the workplace, I do feel that fatigue indeed set in and I've actually missed 3 Hive Power Up Months in a row all due to fatigue or being unwell during 1 or 2 days within the month. And with this, I will dedicate more time as well to catch up on rest or maybe embark on a short holiday to get myself recharged a little so that I can juggle work demands and also time spent on Hive. A 6k delta for my secondary goal look like a daunting task, but let's see how things goes and do some catchup to inch myself closer to my goal for this year.
Enablers for Goal
There are a couple of things that have worked well for me in 2024 and I know these are key enablers for my goal in 2025. Let's go through them 1 by 1.
Blogging on Hive Blockchain
This has always been the biggest source of HP growth and the need to be consistent in writing and curation. Will continue to stay strong in this and try to grow accordingly.
Layer 2 Token Management
There are many nice layer 2 tokens on Hive that provide some form of passive income. And there are also that have been accumulated while blogging and curating. Actively managing these tokens are important for growth, so here are some of the layer 2 tokens that actually generate liquid hive or swap.hive for me and boost my HP growth.
Liquid Hive Sources:
Holding EDSI tokens - The amount I have yields me 0.112 HIVE per week.
Holding DAB tokens - The amount I have yields me 0.006 HIVE per day.
Holding SIM tokens - The amount I have yields me 0.021 HIVE per day.
Holding BRO tokens - The amount I have yields me 0.020 HIVE per week.
This totals up to 0.321 HIVE per week is an increase as compared to last month. Not too bad to see these growths. Focus right now will be to boost each of these tokens separately from repurposing others so that I diversify and not keep to just 1 kind. SIM had been something that I actively grow due to me playing dCity which will be mentioned in the later paragraphs. EDSI is also something that I am monitoring closely and thankful that my ESDMM are giving me more EDSI from time to time to improve my passive base. Both BRO and DAB are also giving good returns and I hope to also divert some of my repurposed layer 2 to building these up. Hopefully it can further push my passive even higher as time goes by.
SWAP.HIVE Sources:
Holding BBH tokens - The amount I have yields me 0.00855 SWAP.HIVE per week.
This is a slow and steady growth, though not super huge but growth is never a bad thing and I will continue working on this.
dCity.
This is the biggest piece of the pie of my liquid passive where my accumulation in passive hive. Active managing and seeking ways to improve SIM income in the game will allow me to hold more SIM and subsequently gather more daily liquid hive drip. I am enjoying the game right now after an initial setup by a friend and now building up the city to yield me more SIM on a daily basis and ensuring the city becomes prosper to allow strong base of SIM and reaching the 1 million SIM Power mark to be part of SIM Millionaire for better benefits.
If you would like to grow your savings through growing SIM while building a city, join me and many others to play dCity.

External Faucets
Something that many would think that it is not viable or a waste of time. But this is something I think otherwise. People would say it takes forever to have something substantial. While it is true, clicking some of these faucets (at most 10 seconds of your time) when you feel like it can net you some tiny amounts of crypto here and there. While sometimes we might be watching tv or videos online, if you feel like it, click on the faucets which regenerates every few minutes by solving a captcha can even land us a some small amount of crypto in a week which can be deposited in to grow our hive. Every small amount counts and it will even help boost curation power to accelerate our growth.
Closing
Delta to savings goal still looking really big and definitely work has to be done to close the gap. Not gonna be a walk in the park, but I will want to see how to improve my holdings and grow stronger as we journey on in Hive.
See you next month.

What is Saturday Savers Club?
The Club is a supportive group of people who meet up around the weekly post, usually on a Saturday but occasionally on a Sunday, to share tips and techniques and have some fun in the process. Saving is a skill that takes time and practice to acquire and, like learning any skill, doesn't always go the way you planned.
