Good morning buzzers. We're buzzing ahead with plans, looking at dates, and it makes sense to start sooner rather than later to fully enjoy the year of savings on Hive! Not very sloth-like, but sometimes we just need to buzz! The early bird catches the worm right?
Buzzing is great, but when it comes to 'Savings' and stacking Hive, sometimes sloth and steady really does win the race.
Before we begin
First things first, big shout out to 
So, with the positive response to our last post about the idea of continuing Saturdaysavers. We've decided to push ahead with the idea.
Whilst we participated in #saturdaysavers last year. We hadn't fully understood the depth and complex nature within. Our main focus was keeping it simple, Sloth like saving towards our goals whilst posting weekly updates to keep accountability.
I believe this was the main intention of the Saturdaysavers challenge when it started, and it was the key selling point for many users. The ability to share with a community of people focusing on the same goals and find encouragement and tips along the way. The finishing motto for Saturdaysavers posts, which comes from the 'SPInvest family' (
Get Rich Slow or perhaps Sloth?
The Big Question
The big question we have. We're more than happy to continue using the tag #saturdaysavers; it's well-known and used by many in the community. Whilst we also love it, we won't be posting on a Saturday anymore. We'll make the weekly savings posts on Thursdays. So, do we continue with #saturdaysavers or rebrand as #slothsavers?
We also had the awesome suggestion of #slothlysavers earlier, and well, we love that too. So we'll leave it up to you. When you're leaving your comments sharing your post about your savings goals. Add your vote for one of those tags; #SlothlySavers - #SlothSavers - #SaturdaySavers - #ThursdaySavers. Say that 5x fast, what a mouthful!
Community is key, make your #'s matter!
What is the Savings Challenge?
What was SaturdaySavers, or What is SlothlySavers? SlothSavers? ThursdaySavers... Not to sway anyone's vote, but SlothlySavers really does have a nice ring to it, feels easy to remember!
Get rich slothly remember. Slothbuzz goal when launching the community was to support Hive users and help small users grow. Something we've continued to pursue over the years on Hive. This new savings challenge will help us help you even more! Sloth and steady wins the race.
This post is already wordy, so we'll set out the rules and an easy-to-follow format tomorrow with the 'official' launch in week 2 of 2026! Today, I guess we could say the 'unofficial' Launch and week 1 of the Savings challenge. Let's dive into the foundations of the savings challenge and its origins on Hive.
As we mentioned, Shanibeer launched SaturdaySavers 5 years ago. The premise was simple yet brilliant. With inspiration from the '365 Penny a Day' Challenge. Hive users were encouraged to save small and daily. Building strong foundations for saving and learning new tips to manage their savings goals. Building on that, a weekly accountability trend was set. Users set out their goals at the start of the year and built towards them week by week, sharing their journey with fellow users.
As we feel this is the main focus of the savings challenge, or the aspect we seen most over Hive, this will be our focus. Althouugh we do encorage you to read the launch post of Saturdaysavers in 2021. Not only does it more fully explain the 365 Penny a Day challenge, but it also explains why so many caught the savings bug on Hive!
We're Sloths, we like to take things slow, laze back, relax! We're making this as simple as possible.
First step:
Today, we're asking you to set your savings goals. Many of you have already done this as you have the #saturdaysavers bug! Share them in the comments and continue building those connections with other savers to help each other along the way.
Your savings goals can be anything: Hive, HBD, a Hive-engine token, or even 1 penny/cent a day. Sloth and steady wins the race. It doesn't matter how slow you go, as long as you don't stop. Hive fits nicely with that motto too, your power continues to grow or 'save' as long as you're active!
We love Hive Power goals, they show commitment to growing and building on Hive, and by engaging with our fellow Hivians we increase our potential for growth, individually and as a Hive. That will be our focus with these posts set to 100% Hive Power for maximum HP growth, to, in turn, support you and your savings goals! That's the true power of Hive, building connections and growing together.
Bonuses too?
To further encourage participation and growth, we'll hold a weekly draw where commenters from the previous week's post can win 1 unit of HiveSBI (HSBI), which will further help you grow as you post on Hive. 2 $SlothBuzz tokens, which can be used to curate content posted with the #Slothbuzz Tag. Plus, we're adding CommentRewarder to each post, so you can also earn a share of the weekly votes these posts receive.
We want to help you grow on Hive. Community and social experience are the backbone of Hive, so let's push forward and grow our power and presence on Hive by saving.
Conclusion? So soon?
That's the gist of things. Share your weekly savings post. Add the Hashtag ??? To be decided by tomorrow, remember to vote in the comments! #SlothlySavers #SaturdaySavers #SlothSavers #ThursdaySavers. Set your target for the year. Make a weekly post holding yourself accountable. We're keeping it as simple as that. No forced day/time to post, just keep us up to date weekly and drop some love to your fellow savers.
We may add some more events/contests along the way. We want this to be a fun experience for Hive users, something that keeps them coming back, whether daily or weekly. Growing sloth and steady, or as buzzy as a bee!
That reminds me: Final mentions. The BusyBee's initiative is great for participants in a savings challenge and for encouraging small users to grow. Check out the Busybee community and update posts from Zakludick here. You could also consider using the #busybee tag if your savers' posts fit their niche.
Plus ALIVE Tribe, who were also considering launching SaturdaySavers posts, check them out and consider using #ALIVE tag if your content fits their criteria.
One last time, consider checking out the Year end post of SaturdaySavers in 2021, there are many great tips for saving and more details on the initial idea!
Well, talking of savings, I should probably make a Too Long, Didn't Read, for the majority of us sloths who want the short version! This sloth might like writing, but when reading, I tend to skip to the 'good bits' or miss the point completely and return weeks later and realise my slothfulness cost me more time!
