| Hive is still going through some ups and downs at the moment in terms of the community trying to figure out direction. In a decentralized system that's pretty common as there's no one real figure to make choices and move ahead. Thus things are slow, not everyone agrees and it sparks a lot of emotion. My hopes are that people can learn to control their emotions and instead work towards a common good and realize that others can have a difference in opinion on matters and talking about them and being open to them is a powerful thing instead of putting up blockers and thinking you're always right. However a human trait that MANY fail at. |

| Overall Hive is doing good, we have hivefest coming up which I wont be at sadly as I'm looking for a USA event but not sure we will ever see that any time soon. |

| My hopes are that through hivefest we see some major action and restructure take place in terms of what core developers should be working on. To me either a groundwork base needs to be created that others can build on top of for things like NFT market places, social, layer 2 tokens etc. and / or the development team should be working on such applications themselves as open source. |

The Goals

$HIVE

Goal: 100,000 Current: 99,182.46 Needed Per Day: 7.29

Overall this has dropped by a ton and it's looking rather promising that I should be able to hit the goal of 100k by the end of September. The real goal with Hive however is to really just keep on stacking until we are more into the whale category. But that first 100k goal I get to is going to help to really open things up in terms of investment and time. Time that can be put into work with devs to start building applications on top of the hive blockchain.

As you can see 7 days later I'm paying for that vaca time I took lol. That's the one big negative at the moment is the crypto stacks dry up big time when you take just a few days off or at least a lower amount of activity. That's something I'm working to offset more with more passive crypto methods but of course will never be more or as much as being active for a few hours a day on the Hive blockchain.

$LEO

Goal: 150,000 Current: 109,762 Needed Per Day: 359.26

I'm giving LEO this month to start getting things right before I make a decision on this one. I haven't been happy with the direction and choices LEO has been making over the last few months. My hopes are they take the feedback and criticism well because I know it's not just me thinking and feeling that way. It's time for LEO to buck up.

$SPS

SPS goals are coming into the picture now. With prices back to record lows and potentially being even lower soon as I see no incentive for holding on to them as there seems to be no use for them in lands which was originally talked about.

However my goals for this one are going to hold for the moment. Land 1.5 should be happening in the next two weeks. If it doesn't I'd be really surprised as a lot seems to be riding on the launch of land. It also seems like it's going to be a multi year thing where the so called final battle use items won't be released at the moment until early 2025 on the timeline.

$CTP

Goal: 100,000 Current: 42,376 Needed Per Day: 514.5

Over 500 a day might sound like a lot but it's not when you think of all the methods you can currently earn this token. By surfing some pages each hour you can win CTP Tokens at CTPX.io and for reading emails from others on ListNerds

They also have a front end UI for posts which is mainly geared towards small businesses and affiliate marketing type things.

Goals are pushing well and I believe the end of this year is going to be fire for some of these projects.
