Hive is such a remarkable blockchain...
When I joined back in 2017 it didn't take long for me to go 'all in'! Everything just made sense to me. From the promise of 'SMT's' to the entire concept of being rewarded for sharing your passions with the community...There was something special about this place.
So my goal when I first joined was to wait 5 years (December of this year) to revisit my investment of time, energy and money and see if this was what I thought it would be. Safe to say, I didn't need 5 years to know, this was the place for me and my business!
The blessing...I have been focused on building my stake up on chain for almost 5 years. I've been able to do this, by literally following the entire #ThriveOnHive model! I'm not just writing about that stuff, I've actually lived it :)
The curse (which is kind of a blessing too lol) is that I've built up a nest egg of sorts that has been able to help my family navigate some very 'strange' waters over the past 4 months or so. The curse is...I've had to dip into that nest egg, and believe me when I say it...I hate doing it!
I had a dream of 'making a living' off my efforts and investments on Hive, so I would never have to touch my stake and just let it grow.
Welp....That dream is still alive and my hope. But not just yet....
I'm having to powerdown a few more weeks to get my family back from the 'strange waters...literally'.
Back to the blessing though....
This chain ALLOWS you to continue to show up, build and accumulate. If you add value, you will be o.k. :)
Here's my latest journey with #MyHiveGoals
150,000 Hive Power
It was a great week to see that stake grow...But that'll all end next week lol
150,000 - 101,782.55 = 48,217.45 left to go
Next week, I might have to put that 'goal' down to 100k lol
Ahhh well, I feel so damn lucky that my efforts over the past 4 years plus, actually will help my family. Which is why we are even here in the first place isn't it?
40,000 LEO & 1,000,000 SPT
The LEO journey is going well though...
40,000 - 33,490.63 = 6,509.37 left to go
Still enjoying the ability to use Threads and that remarkable 
The #Splinterlands grind continues as well with SPT!
1,000,000 - 882,911.7 = 117,088.3 left to go
Getting closer to that 100k milestone :)
Dollar Cost Average Into Hive Engine Projects
I'm going to remove WORKERBEE from my dollar cost averaging. I may still grab a few here and there, but the transition that the H-E team seems to be moving towards is focusing on BEE itself. So I want to slow down on accumulating WORKERBEE for a bit, just to see where things go.
45.71 SPS/SWAP.HIVE (shares in pool)
14.548 VOUCHER/SWAP.HIVE (shares in pool)
55 INDEX
And after this week's buys I'm at....
429.701 SPS/SWAP.HIVE
72.224 VOUCHER/SWAP.HIVE
12,270 
100 Hive / Day Rewards
Had a pretty steady week of creating and curating, and spent a bulk of my time liking a lot of content I saw inside of #ListNerds . Let's see how we did :)
28.44 Rewards from Creating
11.49 Rewards from Curating
14 Rewards from Misc.
Total rewards = 53.93 per day
A little bit of a dip when it came to curating, so I know where to concentrate on this week. And that will go down because of my powerdown too, but we'll keep showing up. And continue to do my best to add value to the entire blockchain!
