Around a month ago, I put out a post, looking at some HIVE income tokens I am aiming to accumulate. Feel free to check it out if you like. I figured it would be a good idea to give an update to see how I am going with this strategy.
So, here was the basic plan, from that post:
My plan is simple, accumulate as many of the above tokens into a separate account creatively named
. As I grow the token balance of this wallet, it will produce a completely passive, liquid HIVE income, which should steadily grow over time. That income will become my "cash-out" funds
A month later, have I stuck to the plan at all?
DAB
I completely missed the boat early on with EDS, and only recently changed that by starting to accumulate thanks to the second EDS mining token (EDSMM). Fortunately I've learned from that mistake, and got a good sized stack of DBONDs staked, and minting DABs. Here for the long term, to accumulate as much DABS as possible.
Missed out on picking up a bunch more DBONDS to boost my DAB production. I did grab 200, but was shaping up to get more and missed out. The next batch released sold out in no time, I think much quicker than anyone expected. No matter, I have also bought a few DAB here and there off the open market. Currently sitting on 34 DAB, in position 8 on the DAB rich list. My main motive here has been to position early, and so far so good.
My DAB holdings are currently bringing in between 0.8 and 1 HIVE per day. Hopefully, I can improve my position and be more ready when the next DBOND batch is released.
So far so good overall with DAB, would have liked a few more DBOND from the last sale, but it wasn't to be. The plan in general is working as expected. I'll expect my HIVE income to drop a little, as people that picked up more miners slowly overtake me on the rich list. In it for the lang haul.
EDS
Holding EDS tokens provides a weekly HIVE "dividends" and its tokenomics are designed to grow this income over time. The other nice thing about EDS is that there are multiple ways to mine the token.
Similar to DABS, EDS has been solid this past month. I have mined some, gained some from delegating HIVE to 
Plan intact, EDS balance and weekly income growing steadily.
SPI
SPI tokens can be hard to come by, and the market has periods of low liquidity as holders tend to cling on to their tokens for life. Personally, due to poor fiat financial situations, I have sold most of my holdings. But I am now in a better position, and can return to growing my stack by working and contributing to the project.
Here is where I failed in my plan execution. In need for some quick fiat funds, unfortunately SPI was the easiest token for me to sell to raise some funds. Having mentioned poor liquidity in my last post, the fact that SPI is liquid (rather than staked) is both a good and a bad thing. With needing some quick funds, and buy orders in the market at the time, I was able to sell some SPI and cash out. Not ideal, and not part of the plan, but its ok.
Back to trying to build my stack after faltering again with SPI.
BXT
The BXT token, when staked, generated a daily HIVE yield which ranges from 10% to 16% APR roughly depending on the token price and activity levels. The nice part is this is "real yield" from income generated by the platform rather than inflationary token rewards.
I did pick up a few more BXT, however...
I have decided to unstake it and move those funds into other things. The yield from staked BXT has dropped, now under 8%. I have started building a position in the SIM/HIVE beeswap liquidity pool, and will shift these funds into that pool instead.
The goal of this wallet is to generate yield. I like the concept of BXT, but am looking for yields higher than what I can simply generate by powering up HIVE and curating content. BXT doesn't fit my criteria any longer, so those funds will be redeployed.
SIM/HIVE pool.
This position is a new position added to this wallet since that first post I made. I like this pool for a few reasons. The SIM portion of the pool gets counted to your SIM power in the DCity game. SIM power is basically a 300 average of your holdings of liquid SIM plus SIM in the pool. This SIM power is then rewarded with a daily liquid HIVE payout.
But that is not the only yield you earn from this pool. The pool itself also rewards liquidity providers with SIM (plus some other crap) each day - running at around 20% APR. So your can earn 20% on the full pool balance, plus the HIVE reward which is around 30% APR on the SIM part of the pool - meaning a combined 35% APR. Pretty nice.
Once my BXT unstake in a couple of days, those funds will be added to this position.
August plans.
Keep accumulating EDS, DABS and SPI from the mining and SPI from my role running a part of the Spinvest project. Hopefully avoid the need to cash anything out, aside from the yield these tokens generate.
I plan to bring some fresh funds over to HIVE from money I am taking out of my Cosmos investments. I am finding myself drifting more and more back to being mainly in HIVE.
What I am looking at to add to this wallet is the DRIP token. I still have to check it out a bit more, but It is firming up in my mind as the next addition to this wallet. It seems the token rewards DRIP stakers with both more DRIP, and also a swap.HIVE yield. A little more research to do, but Once I have some fresh funds available, this may be the next position.
In the comments on last months post, 
Anyway, overall this wallet is now worth over $650 and generating around 10 HIVE per week passively at the moment. Let's see how this months goes, and what moves I can make to build this up. Definitely not retiring on my passive HIVE income just yet, but keen to keep building this up.
As always, I'd love to here any feedback in the comments.
Thanks for checking out this post,
