The biggest part of my daily routine, other than my official work in an insurance company, is now on Hive Blockchain. This all started in 2016 when I was skeptical about how an online social media can generate crypto. Until I pick it up in 2017, when I "see it in person" for the first time, when a friend demonstrate Infront of me how he make a post, and how the post got upvotes, and how he curates a post, making an upvote and collect rewards.
It's interesting and fascinating how things had moved forward, from a simple blogging platform to an investment platform. The above screenshot is from an "undelegation" from #ecency, which I have invested POINTS to bought a 90 days delegation which expired on December 11.
If you don't have #ecency points, time to get yourself a copy of the APP, or you can use their web edition at ecency.com . At #ecency, every activity is a transaction that will earn you points. Upvotes, author a post, reblog, replying and commenting, or even a short Wave chat, can earn you some points. And for delegators, if you delegate to #ecency, you will get 10% in Points form, from the power you have delegated to #ecency. For example, delegation of 1000 to ecency, you will be receiving 100 points everyday. On top of the points, you will be receiving curation rewards, proportionated to your contribution against daily reward earned by #ecency. Now that I have 17k points, I can use it to buy a 90 days delegation, in reception of roughly 200hp delegation from ecency.
Too much of an ecency point which you don't know how to utilise it better? You can always use it as contest prizes, host your own contest, educate others in how to use the points effectively. Now that I have transferred my 17k points to #ecency, I will be waiting for their delegations to my accounts. If you have some point, you can also do a short term purchase, with 6k points to get a 30 days delegation.
Tadaa 🎉 And here is my delegation. Not that alot. I'm not talking about profitability, it's how the community and platform will reward you back to the good gesture you have done to the community. I used to think this is an act of circlejerks, but then when I stop thinking about the "profitability", aren't we all scratching each other's back?
On top of points investments, I am also conducting a long term power up plan. I still wanted to try and win a monthly challenge of power up months. Somehow I always forget. So, now I have decided to make screenshots daily, to note down the price I have studied before the convert.
This way, I can track my daily conversion (I know market is cheaper and faster), at the same time it can remind me to do it everyday. My goal is to hit 60k in 2026, but he speed of daily 20HP since last month, I think before the firsts half of 2026 I am already achieving my goal. I should really revise my goal again to see if I can hit 70k instead. Fingers are wildly crossed 🤞
