Another week has passed, and here I am again with my Saturday Savers Club Update! This week has been quite eventful, with a big HP power-up, more investments in EDS-D, LEO, and BXT, and some exciting progress on the STRIDER project. Let’s dive in!

📈 Weekly Savings & Growth

🔥 Hive Power Growth

Last Week: 8,695 HP
This Week: 8,958 HP
Increase: +263 HP 💪🏼
- Target Weekly Increase: 555 HP
- Performance: Getting closer to the goal, but still need to push harder!

💰 HBD Savings

HBD: 1,348 (Unchanged this week, next rewards claim is in 7 days...)
EDS-D: 146 (Converted more HBD into EDS-D to increase long-term passive income)

EDS-D Holdings: Now earning 2 EDSI per week! 📈

🔥 What I’ve Been Doing This Week

1️⃣ Big Hive Power-Ups

Powered up a lot this week, partially due to HPUD and partially because of our new family budget rule:
- Any savings from our grocery budget gets invested into Hive! 💪🏼
- This way, our household directly benefits from the Hive ecosystem while growing our stake!

2️⃣ Pumping Up EDS-D & Passive Income

I’m steadily converting all my HBD into EDS-D, which in turn increases my EDSI payouts.
Currently earning 2 EDSI per week, but the goal is much higher!

3️⃣ SWAP.HIVE Strategy & Leasing

Leased 1,000 HP on the Hive Lease Market, which brings in steady SWAP.HIVE earnings.
Most of it is going into Diesel Pools:
- SWAP.HIVE:ATX
- SWAP.HIVE:ATF
- SWAP.HIVE:PWR
- DVS:DHEDGE
The remaining SWAP.HIVE is converted into LEO & BXT, boosting my second-layer token holdings.

4️⃣ STRIDER Token Rewards – Now Live!

Finished the payout script for @thestrider, and the first real test run was completed this morning.
STR token holders (min 1K STR) now receive extra STR & IDD rewards.
Delegators to @thestrider now get 20% from curation rewards! 🏆

5️⃣ Fighting the Downvote Battle

Still dealing with downvotes on some bots due to shifting community rules.
It’s frustrating and sometimes demotivating, but I’m committed to making the bots as fair & useful as possible.
If you have any feedback on the bots, let me know!

🎯 Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

✅ Keep powering up HP & hitting 9,000 HP soon!
✅ Continue reinvesting in Diesel Pools & passive income streams.
✅ Work on stabilizing the tipping bots to avoid unnecessary downvotes.
✅ Push towards the next big goal: 10,000 HP!

🏁 Final Thoughts

This week has been one of my strongest yet, despite ongoing challenges. The new grocery-budget rule has been a game-changer, helping us stack more Hive & invest in the ecosystem.

With Leo’s 500 goal reached, the next steps are to increase my BBHO & BXT holdings while continuing the EDS-D & EDSI strategy.

🔥 Thank you for reading! Here’s to another week of growth! 🔥
