A few days ago I was looking at my HP (hive power) delegation and realize I delegated nearly a year ago to a project called Holozing on Hive, I barely remember that but I managed to claim like 200k stacked tokens so I guess the project is still alive but I haven't done extensive research on that yet. Time does fly and sometimes you forget things, anyway since it isn't something I am actively following I decided to remove my delegation for the time being, I don't even know if they still are looking for delegations anyway.
My other active delegations are for cleanplanet and leovoter and the ASEAN community on Hive and my own secondary account which I might use for a purpose later, it is for RC purposes but I can be bother delegating only RC so I do HP instead.
Since last week I really managed to create new habits on Hive, I do manual curation everyday to try and avoid having 100% VP and I track that, according to https://hivestats.io/ my curation APR went up to 8.31% from under 8% which is slowly rising, I can I am not optimize yet as I used to be able to do more before if I remember correctly. With around 3% extra HP just for holding hive power we are talking 11% APR.

It is under what I used to get with Leo delegation before which was nearly half my holding at one point so I managed to stack some LEO tokens which went X5 this year so that was worth it.
HBD also is interesting offering 15% APR but I prefer to be expose to the price of Hive, I was considering to sell some Hive to BHD but it does feel a bit too cheap at the moment, I might re adjust position later if we do see an actual bull run on Hive because the APR is better then what I get on Hive minus the price exposition.
The Hive token has lost some value recently but I am still a believer in the project and I think communities on Hive can change things for the better in the world, we can truly create communities without border that also can help each other and allow the transfer of value over the internet which has been one of the amazing evolution of money in this century.
Remember we are still at the beginning of a new age, in a generation (about 25 years) the world has changed, in 2000, no smartphone and a limited internet at home or not internet for a majority of people on Earth, now the trend of connected people with mobile phone is insane even in lower income economies.
In a world of chaos, we might hold one of the tools to help to free some more people.
PS: Next thing I need to go over is probably witness votes and proposals, I haven't changed that in a while, I think I might way after hivefest if new projects are announced it will be interesting to support new people.
I really need to get my next travel post done but another day without it, but still keeping my streak. I think today had been a full week so I am happy to get back into writing again in a more stable manner and getting some thoughts and words out there.
You can find my latest travel post here, within it will be the links to all the others at the end.
