HELLO January 2025!
It's the 1st day of the month and that means it's HIVE Power Up Day again! 🎉🚀 Just like that, the ENTIRE year of 2024 has gone past us already! 😱⌛️
The past month in crypto has been really wild. Somewhere around the 17th of December, BTC hit a new all time high of over $108k. This had everyone salivating for the 110k barrier being breached. That said, crypto is still extremely volatile and after some negative comments from the Fed with respects to inflation targets and cuts for 2025, the overall market promptly dumped with BTC crashing back down to 92k. Thus far, attempts to breakout past the 100k mark again seem to be futile, but it could also be a case of end of year tax loss harvesting or profit taking. Who knows?
HIVE has been surprisingly resilient on the other hand, making higher highs and lows. It broke past $0.40+ quite a few times and instead of dumping all the way down to it's pre pump levels, has instead maintained a much higher support level. This bodes well indeed. Perhaps some savvy whales or investors are positioning themselves for the upcoming alt season?
Regardless, I still remain bullish on the long term future of BTC and HIVE. Is this the last opportunity to accumulate more at current prices before it moons beyond no return? Who knows? I believe in the long term and will stick to my regular DCA regardless. 😜📈🚀
Another month in this year has gone by in a flash! I've joined HIVE since November 2021 and I'm still learning so many new things everyday! I first heard of Hive Power Up Day in January 2022 and all its other acronyms (PUD, PUM, PUH 😂 what a mouthful) and I've participated in HPUD every month since then!
Ever since I started with the HPUM initiative in 2022, I've tried my best to faithfully make one blog post everyday in an attempt to get the Hive Power Up Month badge. I've managed to make it successfully for 9 out of 12 months in 2022, and then improved on it in 2023 with 10 out of 12 months! I will be attempting to get as many as I can again in 2024! 🥳💯
Another successful month of making at least ONE post a day with 100% to HIVE powered up (or powering up 1 HIVE). 🥳
This makes it 10 months (thus far) where I managed this achievement IN THIS PAST year of (2024).
Blogging regularly and having the HPUM to incentivize me has other tangible benefits too! I've seen my Hive Power grow quite a fair bit. This seems like a good practice which I intend to continue keeping up with!
In my VERY FIRST month before before I ever heard about Hive Power Up Day/Month, I was at just 47 HP 😭 (Before Jan 1st 2022).
This month, before I've even powered up anything at all, I'm already at 13,322 HP! 🎉🎉🎉
That's how consistent blogging on HIVE, with (mostly) 100% allocated to Hive Power, improved my HIVE account!
And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! ⚡️💪 (1st January 2025)
Once again, I only have enough HIVE set aside for a 10HP powerup, but I'm sure with my continued efforts to blog with 100% powered up to HIVE, I will be able to grow my Hive Power even more!
Using https://hivestats.io/, I was able to pull out a chart showing my daily account growth for the past month too. Great to see that orange graph head upwards continually 📈😄! If only my stocks portfolio and the price of HIVE looked like that too 😂🤑.
💰💰💰💸💸💸🤑🤑🤑📈📈📈
As always, I usually make just the minimum powerup of 10 HIVE. This is because there are so many projects that I'm now invested in. The HIVE ecosystem is so much bigger than what I had thought it was when I first joined. I believe my constant allocation of most of my daily posts being 100% powered up is sufficient to grow my Hive Power daily. The rest of any funds from HIVE will usually be kept for other projects that are of interest to me (on HIVE of course 😁).
As always, I'll like to explain that the reason why I do not powerup every single bit of HIVE/HBD I get every month from my blogging is because I like to keep some liquidity around to invest in HIVE projects that I feel have some potential.
It is no secret by now that quite a bit of my extra funds lying around HIVE has been channelled into the Wrestling Organization Online aka WOO project! 🤑
After months of talking about WOO during my HPUD posts, I am glad to say that WOO has FINALLY launched the game proper! All players can use their WOO assets, play the game, and earn $WOO tokens. The game has not yet exploded in terms of player numbers since it is so new, but there are already launch campaigns to give it the boost it needs!
It’s hard to believe that the New Year is already here, but WOO is making sure 2025 kicks off in the most electrifying way possible! Their latest event, the WOO Year’s Bash, is a thrilling combination of strategy, competition, and community spirit that embodies everything fans love about Wrestling Organization Online. It’s moments like these that remind us why WOO is one of the standout communities on HIVE.
What really caught my eye about this event is the staggering prize pool. With a base of 20,205 WOO and the potential to double if 25 players join, it’s clear that WOO isn’t holding back. And let’s not forget the Alpha Packs—rare treasures that could elevate any player’s collection. For those of us who’ve followed WOO’s journey, this level of generosity is hardly surprising, but it still deserves a big shout-out.
If you’re intrigued, the best way to get involved is by hopping over to the WOO DISCORD. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just curious to see what all the hype is about, there’s no better time to dive in. Trust me, events like this one have a way of pulling you in and keeping you hooked.
As always, I’m rooting for WOO’s success—not just for what it means to fans like me, but for the boost it brings to the HIVE ecosystem. Let’s support this community and see how far it can go in 2025! 💪🎉
I'll see you all again during the next Power Up Day next month with another update! Till then, See you and WAGMI! 💎🙌🏻🦍💪🏻
