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 197.870, bringing me to 18,993.03 total Hive Power. That's 76% of my goal!

Let's do the math. 25k - 18,993.03 gives us 6006.97 remaining. Divided out gives us the value of 71.5 Hive needed per day to reach 25k by the first of next year. Wow... it went up a lot this past week. I'd have to gain the favor of a whale like appreciator in order for me to get that kind of daily earning!

Meanwhile my average earnings remain the same as at the start of this year, so I don't think they are likely to increase anytime soon. Oh well. Maybe I should take bets on how close I can get by the end of the year.

~ BRO, LGN, PIMP ~

As usual, my goal remains Hive Power, so I'm not moving any of my HBD earnings here to fund buys. But I am selling most of the random tokens that I earn and using them to fund some action here.

My BRO holdings are 521.208, which isn't much of an increase. But I didn't buy any this week, so that's ok. For LGN, I did manage to catch a few more dips below .7, in total buying 98.2, putting me at 874.951 total. And as for PIMP, I bought 1000 of it, which combines with my weekly earnings of 444.521 to give me 58,251.214.

I'm pretty happy with my holdings here and don't see myself diversifying too much more in the Hive secondary market. I do want to pick up more CINE, but that is on the back burner until I get a decent holding of BRO, LGN, and PIMP.

~ DBOND ~

But speaking of second layer tokens, there are still 3000+ DBOND tokens available in the current sale. The point of DBOND is slow growth, so don't buy into it of you want quick gains, but it is a nice solid one if you are planning on being in this ecosystem for several more years and are fine with planing the long game.

If you aren't familiar with the token, think of it as a slightly more complex version of EDS. Staking DBOND will get you some DAB tokens. I think the DAB tokens are given away each day in a lottery so the more DBOND you own, the better your chance of winning DAB. You will then get a daily dividend of Hive for holding DAB or more DBOND for staking your DAB. Which is better is up to you.

I continue my strategy suggested by Hive account@bozz of selling the DAB that I'm earning. Well his strategy is sell the DAB and use the money to buy more DBOND. I'm not buying any more right now, so I guess I'm missing out. There will come a point where selling DAB no longer makes sense if we are in for the long term, but that point is not here yet. Currently DAB is going for around 4-5 Hive, making it more valuable to sell than hold.

~ Silver Stacking ~

I picked up this coin for the silver stacking

It's one I now have several of, but I can't resist picking up more when I see them. It's only 60% silver, so not quite as good as the junk silver you guys have easier access to in the States, but... well, it's still silver.

I usually cut these coins out of these cardboard sleeves when I get them, but I don't know. Is that a good idea? #silvergoldstackers friends, give me your thoughts.

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@kerrislravenhill Hive account@rzc24-nftbbg Hive account@beerbod Hive account@daddydog Hive account@silverd510 Hive account@keithtaylor Hive account@dewabrata Hive account@stekene Hive account@oasiskp2 Hive account@hiro.guita Hive account@littlebee4.

Let's do a drawing!

Looks like the winners are Hive account@littlebee4 Hive account@hiro.guita Hive account@oasiskp2 Hive account@daddydog Hive account@rzc24-nftbbg

Congrats, guys!

And forward we go! It was a strong week. Let's see how this coming one goes!
