Goals
It's always good to set yourself goals, so you have something you can work towards. That is why I joined the #saturdaysavers initiative by 
Here are the goals I've set to reach before the end of 2025:
- 35,000 Hive (a 23,29% growth)
- 4000 HBD (a 99,60% growth)
- 40,000 Virtual Hive (a 18,38% growth)
The progress
In the following table you can see an overview of the progress of my goals.
Virtual Hive is the total of all my Hive (staked and liquid) plus the amount of Hive I can buy with my HBD at the current price of Hive ($0,237)
| Token | 1-1-2025 | Target Value | Current Value | In/decrease | % of Goal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hive | 28,388 | 35,000 | 41,450 | +13,063 | 197.60 % |
| HBD | 2003 | 4000 | 118 | -1,885 | -94.45 % |
| Virtual Hive | 36,856 | 40,000 | 41.951 | +8,161 | 131.42 % |
While the Hive price is still quite low, I'm not converting any of my Hive back into HBD to meet my HBD goals. I need to wait for the price to go up at least above $0.35 to start converting.
Actually, I'm withdrawing the HBD from my savings to buy some more Hive at this price.
It's a real bargain!
Earnings
I used to go to https://hivestats.io/ to get my stats for these posts, but last week, during a Hive Discord Podcast I learned about a new tool; https://hiveearnings.botlord.eu/
This tool made by Borniet gives you a great overview of your earnings.
So let's see mine over the past week:
This not only gives you insights into your Author and Curation rewards, but also of incoming transfers.
When you check out the transfers you see that a total of 14.895 Hive and 1.877 HBD is transferred to my account. Below that you can see the breakdown.
By this you can see that most of it comes from commentrewarder and my POB delegation to the 
Apart from that I've earned 34.493 HP and 8.134 HBD by creating posts and 61.418 HP with curation. My income from curating is almost as high as my rewards for posting. I do have been a bit busy lately, that is the reason why I didn't create a lot of blogs lately.
I'm trying to make more time to create some more interesting blogs, so stay tuned!
