I am still holding steady Hive wise. One year to go and then the serious evaluation starts for me on learning or not learning how to get and maintain a KYC account so I can make deposits and withdrawals.

For new user reading his post, here is how re-investing the vast majority of my Hive earnings have worked:

June 2020, Curation Rewards = 43.468 Hive
June 2021, Curation Rewards = 69.614 Hive
July 2021, As of 7/24 Rewards = 75.143 Hive, (Hard Fork 25 effect)

That is with a weekly average of 265 votes cast manually on things I look at read and comment on. No auto votes at all. I may not look, read, comment on everything I vote on, but those blind votes are on peoples content I have enjoyed in the past.

There is still 7 days of curation to come in, I may actually double the rewards from June of last year. Powering up of an estimated 90% of all my earnings, some going into Hive engine tokens.
