Time To Raise The Goal Post
I have long settled at 150k HP and continually sold off the extra Hive in order to diversify my portfolio. That has been a very limited success so far... many projects I invested in went downhill and I am left wondering if I had been better off just stacking Hive. And that is in light of our coin dropping over 90% in just the last year alone... I guess it's fair to say that ALTs in general have all fared quite similarly bad - so at least Hive hasn't really been an exception.
So why raise my HP goal?
I suppose Hive has had a pretty rough start in 2026, in which 
In other words the 150k HP is going to be worth a lot less in years to come. If I don't want to sell out, the only other option is to stack more to "keep up" with the inflation.
Since the APR from HP and active curation is at around 10-11% currently, it won't be that hard to achieve that goal post in the years to come. I am now expecting a peak in late 2028 for the crypto market and if we do the math, I'd have an extra ~43k HP by that time. So that alone should already be enough. As pointed out previously, being active now and posting on Hive is also much more rewarding. So posting here and there will earn some extra Hive pushing me above 200k in the years to come.
Of course all of this won't matter if Hive's price won't recover. Getting back to the 20-30 cents base line doesn't seem unreasonable, although it also wouldn't be very extraordinary. With the big pump two days ago, I think we at least have a confirmation that the big CEX whales still have appetite. Once we get back to the previous base line of around 20+ cents, $1 also doesn't seem that far off again - especially since we should have another 2.5 years for some sort of a real ALT coin season to emerge.
I think achieving success will largely depend on whether Hive manages to catapult itself finally into the DeFi space. Just today I realized that 
Do you have a goal post for HP as well and for what time frame?
