Hey Hivers, happy Hive Power Up Day!
I thought it would take 6 months, but today I am proud to have reached 8000HP, just 5 months after reaching the previous milestone at 7000HP. Combined with yet another successful PUM, I guess June was a good month! If you forget that summer, my most hated season, is upon us of course. Let's quickly check the details of my account performance and growth, and also have a quick look at my targets.
HIVE
Like I mentioned last month, I was preparing a slightly bigger PowerUp for July, and indeed I was able to stake 50 Hive, just enough to get me over 8000HP! To keep getting my PUM badge every month, I still use the '100% Powered Up' for most of my daily posts, so it wasn't exactly easy to get enough liquid Hive but I got a few in reserve now. I'm good for a few more HPUDs now, but I will get back to a much smaller Power UP.
Of course, I had to convert pretty much every HBD I managed to come across, so I only have this tiny symbolic amount to push into savings. That's a tradition! Like I said last month, I have no time target to reach my next HBD milestone at 300. It will take many months I believe, unless the price of Hive suddenly really goes up.
As for the account growth, it looks like every month: almost linear. It's actually very close to be perfectly linear this month! Starting from 7767HP, I could add about 185HP to reach 7952HP. Almost same as last month, it was 183HP. I was worried about my increased daily HP target at 5.5, but it was beaten, almost easily.
And of course, adding today's Power Up, we are at 8003HP! That's an increase of 236HP over last month, slightly above the previous months performance.
SPORTS
Last month, I mentioned it was going better with SPORTS and increased my target to 450k. With about 462k, that was right on point! Like I also said last month, the 25M milestone becomes very possible this year.
ALIVE
I say it every month, but I really enjoy the We Are Alive Tribe and all its activities, challenges, drawings, etc... However, getting the tokens is not always easy. After a very good month in May, I increased my target to a very challenging 1000AP monthly. It was probably a bit too much, because in spite of all my efforts in June, I could add only about 892. Still pretty good but below target.
PHOTO
I guess I will repeat myself again, but while PHOTO is not something I really focus on, I am usually able to stake quite a few, simply because most of my posts include lots of photos. I also increased my target last month at 2500 monthly. With about 2462 in June, I will call it reached.
LOLZ
I thought I would stop tracking carefully LOLZ, but last month was pretty good. With about 416 more added to my stake, I am now at 10579. We'll see next month if we keep this token in the list. In any case, we will just let it grow without any focus.
Targets
- Like I said, it was a bit of a surprise, but the 5.5HP daily target set last month was reached with no problem. So let's try again in July!
- Same for SPORTS, although the margin was very small, we'll keep the same 450k monthly target
- For ALIVE, it was definitely more challenging. For now, maybe 850AP is more reasonable. We can always increase the target again later.
- I am still unstaking a few PHOTO, so I can add them to LP, but I still met my target, well almost. So let's keep it for July: 2500 PHOTO a month
- No target for LOLZ, although I think between 100 and 200 added to my stake every month is reasonable.
- I am starting to see growth in a few other 2nd layer tokens, we'll see if it's time to add them to the list above soon. And same for Diesel Pools, I slowly add to several of them, but the amounts are still fairly small.
And June is over, another good month in the books. Most targets reached, or very close. The overall growth stays consistent and steady, let's go for 9000HP now, most likely before end of year. End of July will also mark my 5 year Hive anniversary, that will be another reason for celebration!
Hive on y'all, have a great month of July!
