This is just going to be a short one today. I have a busy day ahead of me and my youngest is already waking up, so my writing time is less than usual. Let's cover the progress on my Hive goals for the past week and then I have some silver preview for my buddies in #silvergoldstackers.

~ Hive & HBD ~

My current goal is 25k Hive. This past week I made 128.950, bringing me to 15,225.41 total Hive Power. That's 60.9% of my goal!

128.950 isn't too bad, but it pales to the 500+ I had last week. Oh well, it's not every week we can find outside investments to convert to Hive. Anyway, let's see how I'm doing on the road to 25k.

25k - 15,225.41 gives us 9,774.59. There are 216 days remaining in the year. Divided into 9,774.59 that gives us 45.252731. Hmm... that's pretty much where I was the week before my 500 power-up last week. Oh well. Things aren't looking good for hitting my goal, but I will keep trying. Never know what might happen next.

~ CINE ~

Cine seems undervalued right now, so I've picked some up here and there. Not as much as I would like, as I'm not going to be distracted from my Hive Power goal, but a little. I'm up to 18,760.342 now. Rather than just let this sit, I decided to create a new account and curate with it. @dbooster.cine, originally enough. I probably won't be posting from there very often, but I will be curating from it so you might see an upvote from that account sometime if you post there.

@raymondspeaks has big plans for cine. This may be the best time to get in cheap before it starts to climb.

~ PIMP ~

I'm up to 51,932.261 here. Getting close to @thgaming for the next spot up on the rich list. Then again, @summertooth is closing in on me. I'm tempted to inject some more money in.

By the way, if you are curious about Pimp, come to one of our meetings! Wed 13:00 UTC every week. Rumour has it that one of these days Ray is going to actually make an appearance instead of ditching us for lunch.

Come join the discord if you're interested! (→here)

~ Daily DAB ~

Speaking of @raymondspeaks, he has another project coming, this time with @silverstackeruk. If you liked EDS, as a great many people have, you should love this one. Check it out here. Presale starts 4 June, so be ready!

~ Silver! ~

And for my buddies in #silvergoldstackers, I just got a few new coins the other day. I already scheduled a different coin post to go off this week, but we'll get to these in due time. You can see some nice sen coins, a large yen coin, and a silver Ike dollar. The local coin shop had that Ike. I don't often see US coins around here, so I just had to pick it up. I always liked the Ike dollars anyway, especially the ones with silver in them. That rectangular one is neat. It's even older than most of the coins I've shared, dating back to when Japan was still under shogun rule.

Anyway, just a preview. I'll get around to looking at these soon!

And forward we go! It was a strong week. Let's see how this coming one goes!
