Today was an eventful one for this 💰 Hive Blockchain Investment Experiment — Hive’s price dipped noticeably, and I decided to take advantage by buying more Hive and adding it to both the savings and trading portfolios.
This marks the first active capital injection since the experiment began, so it will be interesting to see how this affects the gap between the two strategies over the coming days.

🔍 Analysis & Observations
📉 Hive’s price drop to around $0.2206 created a buying opportunity, and both strategies got a significant boost in Hive holdings.
📊 The trading portfolio’s lead narrowed slightly in percentage terms but stayed ahead in absolute USD value.
🐝 Savings now has a much stronger long-term base thanks to the massive Hive Power increase.
⚖️ Risk vs. Reward
🐝 Savings Strategy
✅ Huge Hive Power jump means larger curation & inflation rewards going forward.
💤 Still low maintenance despite the big buy.
⚡ Trading Strategy
🚀 More Hive to flip when prices recover could mean bigger short-term gains.
⚠️ Still vulnerable if Hive dips further before a rebound.
📅 Outlook
With the largest single-day portfolio boost so far, both strategies are now well-positioned to take advantage of even small upward moves in Hive’s price.
If the market rebounds, this could mark the point where savings starts catching up or overtaking trading.
