Hello, time is passing very fast. It's been 2 months since we created our account on Hive and it's enjoyable to share the monthly progress reports with you as I write them down for myself. Thanks to your comments, I learn things and taking them into consideration improves me in my Hive journey.
1 month change during July - August
July
August
- I have 45 followers
- I follow 68 people
- I shared 384 posts, 36 of 384 posts are in the form of blogs which I shared and 348 of them are comments I wrote on other contents I read.
- The amount of HP and HBD I have earned from my posts so far is as follows;
350 HP + 63 HP (will be deposited to my account within 1 week)
General statistics
Last month I earned 150 HP, this month I earned 350 HP, an increase of 133%. 31 people followed during the month, an increase of 221%. The people I followed increased from 32 to 68, which means an increase of 112.5%. The part that attracted my attention the most was the increase in the number of posts and comments in 1 month. While I shared 14 posts last month, I shared 22 posts this month, an increase of 57.14%. My comment count increased from 106 to 348, an increase of 228.30%, which I think is a pretty good statistic. I can see from this that I like Hive and I definitely spend a certain part of my day reading the content here, which is good to know.
Totally Powered up 4475 HIVE in August (It didn't finish yet, also preparing for HPUD day)
I bought 1615 - 1630 and 1015 HIVE in 3 parts and power up them. Apart from that, I converted the HBDs I saved from the previous month into HIVE and got 213 HIVE and powered up them as well. Recently I have been sharing my posts with 100% power up, but I realized that this has a negative side, I don't have liquid currency to power up for HPUP days and I thought I was falling behind in this activity. Therefore, I will continue to write this post and the following posts with 50% HBD and 50% HP payment option for 1 month, that is, until I publish my next 3rd month report, and this report will be published on October 1st, and all HBD obtained will be directly powered up. As I mentioned before, since I do not expect income from Hive in the short term, I only aim to grow the account by powering up all the income and I aim to accelerate this process even more with external investments. I think I will reach 100k Hive Power within 6-8 months according to my estimation (this situation is also related to the price of Hive, if we have purchasing opportunities, I think our goal will be realized within 6-8 months) I hope this journey will be enjoyable.
I bought 1015 HIVE for $0.2952, I bought 1615 HIVE for $0.2945, I bought 1630 HIVE for $0.2910. My average cost is $0.2933 and if we compare it to the current price of HIVE it is 0.57%- but this is a very small change rate so it is not a problem. The loss reflected to me by this decrease is $7.242
I have a total of 6747 Hive Power in my account. I have withdrawn most of the delegations I made before, I preferred to curate myself because I actively use Hive. The content I curate is usually content shared in the Foodies Bee Hive - Pinmapple and LeoFinance communities. At the moment, my Curation APR is quite low, I am researching what I should pay attention to in order to increase it. If you have suggestions, I would appreciate it, you can specify in the comments. According to the report on HiveStats, I have a Curation APR of 0.61%, but I think there is a mistake here, we will see over time and I am sure it will get better.
Witness Votes
I just learned that we have 30 voting rights in the Witness election. To be honest, I didn't understand the Witness thing very well, I have voted for 1 so far and my vote was in favor of 
I'm Dolphin anymore
In the program run by 
I think we talked about everything, 1 month development of the account, earnings, goals, power ups, witness selection, being dolphin. It was a good summary for me too. I hope to see you on October 1st in a stronger way. If you want to comment on any topic, I would appreciate it, criticism and advice are always valuable.
