So the crypto market is in a slump. Some are calling it a cold crypto winter, others a bear market...I dunno really, I mean other than the price of it all taking a hit, nothing has really changed for me.
And it made me ask myself...
The whole 'Bitcoin Maximalist' thing. I've always wondered what they do with their Bitcoin? I'm not even trying to be funny here, maybe I'm just not in the loop with the Granddaddy of all crypto but...
What can you do with Bitcoin?
Other than hold it, or invest it to get some returns...It's a store of value but what else?
Just exactly what...Are maxi's maxing?
I'm so ignorant to other crypto projects and that includes Bitcoin LOL
So I guess I'm a Hive maximalist then.
The price of it, sure I notice it but it doesn't change my daily plans on the chain. I can use it every day. I can build on it. Heck, we've even brought entire communities here to start adopting it. Real use case, regardless of what the price of it does.
That's the point of this weekly blog post! To show the world, that regardless of the price of this crypto....We USE IT. Every single day, no matter what.
Not sure many other projects can say that...
Welp...Second week of the power down but I stopped it last week so here we are...
Back on the uphill climb!
150,000 - 114,727.15 = 35,272.85 left to go
I took a hit these past few weeks but....My family is taken care of! And that is thanks to YOU for reading my content and this entire blockchain for it's support. I'm forever in debt to this place!!! Hive changes lives!
This is so exciting!
30,000 - 29,626.22 = 373.78 left to go
Under 400 LEO Power left until my goal! This is mind blowing to me and I'm going to hit this goal within the next few days at the current rate.
Wow. Just WOW!!
I had a pretty good week with SPT , not only from my daily purchase, but I got a lot of love from 
1,000,000 - 736,072.07 = 263,928 left to go
A big chunk towards my goal was tackled this week...Let's see how the next 7 days go!
Income tokens rejoice! Daily income coming into my wallet is such an awesome feeling :)
50 HBD
20 INDEX
15 WORKERBEE
And after this week's buys I'm at....
1000 HBD
11,830 
6095 WORKERBEE
A little slower than I would have liked, but I think you'll see why in the next section....
This took a major hit over the past week...
Maybe it's because I'm powering down. Maybe it's the state of the market. But my 100 Hive a day goal took a pretty big dip....
20.23 Rewards from Creating
13.85 Rewards from Curating
13 Rewards from Misc.
Total rewards = 47.08 per day
Urgh.
I always thought when the price of Hive took a dump, we'd earn more Hive for our efforts. Guess not LOL
The cool thing was, seeing my curation rewards go up. I'm at around 10% APR right now from...Liking other people's stuff ;)
We'll see if this week we can improve on this and get back over 50 Hive a day. Sucks to see it take a hit but alas...
I will be here, God willing, tomorrow, next week, next month and for the next decade :)
Keep grinding!
