So many good things happening to the Hive token right now. Recently it has pumped close to 50 cents driven by being listed in Binance Futures Trading. At the same time, staking Hive earns a very substantial APR in Binance Simple Earn. At the time of this post it has dipped back to a little over 37 cents. We shall see if this rally continues in 2025.

My Goals in 2025

HIVE/HP

Current: 3,800 Goal: 10,000

I haven't really cared much about my HP before and delegated most of it. However if I want to be serious about Hive then HP is important to curate and to vote for proposals. That's why next year, I'll strive to increase my HP to 10,000. I will have to be more active in the blockchain as well as transferring some of my crypto assets from other platforms to Hive.

HBD

Current: 335 Goal: 1,000

HBD staking earns a 15% APR. I haven't appreciated this before because I was focused on quick gains from trading. Fifteen percent return is substantial though and I would start with 1,000 HBD next year and increase it regularly.

LEO

Current: 3,400 Goal: 5,000

LEO is the native token of the InLeo platform. It has been performing very well recently driven by new users being onboarded as a result of collaboration with DASH. There is also a fund (LSTR) aiming to accumulate LEO tokens the same way Micro Strategy buys bitcoin.

Other Tokens in Hive-Engine

I have been recently buying tokens that pays regular dividends and rewards from staking. There are several tokens I'm currently interested in:

BBH

Current: 18,000 Goal: 50,000

The BBH Project is founded by @bradleyarrow. It pays dividends of several tokens including LEO, PIMP and GIFU. You can also earn BBH per day by tipping depending on your BBH balance. More info on BBH in this post I wrote a week ago.

PIMP

Current: 2,000 Goal: 5,000

PIMP is similar to BBH which pays that pays dividends of other tokens as well as earning from tipping PIMP.

YOLO

Current: 4,000 Goal: 10,000

YOLO is a new token released that pays 200% APR on it's first year. This project is founded by @thorlock who also started the DRIP token. Staked YOLO tokens earn 0.03% per day. I wrote a post about YOLO in the following link.

GIFU

GIFU aims to capitalize on the popularity of meme token. While it claims to be a meme token, it generates revenues by collaborating with other projects to create gifs as a form of advertisement. They also aim to be a platform for gif artists to market their art. Founded by @raymondspeaks who is also behind the BRO and LGN tokens, it's a BSC token traded in pancakeswap while SWAP.GIFU is traded in hive-engine. Others involved in the project are @cryptoeater, @epic-fail and @stickupboys. You can find more info on GIFU in this post.

I also have other hive-engine tokens I dabble in but the above are the main ones I would prioritize.

Thank you for reading and Happy New Year!
