Today is December, 1 -- time have come again to count my Hive chicken and enjoy some powerup activities, as every beginning of a month is a special day for our blockchain,-- it is

Hive Power Up Day

So, these are my achievements on the blockchain up to date, and the stats for the last month:

My powerups were not so solid, except of in May, but non-stop, I did not missed a single #hpud in a row in 2022. Nice!

http://hivestats.io/@qwerrie -- three blogs I posted in October, brought me 169 HIVE. Results are slender: no doubts I was a lazy bee. Curation rewards added 142 HIVE, selling H-E tokens brought 6 HIVE extra. Best part of liquids came from HBD/HIVE conversion. On the top of it I had 138.48 HIVE.

121 HIVE were powered up via @ecency. Thus, my account grew by 400 HP:
from 23,900 in November to 24,300 in December, i.e. 1,6%.
Estimated account value is $ 8,560.

Projects and delegations

Now, let's look at my delegations. 1477 out of total 24300 HP (i.e. 6% of my power) are delegated to eight communities and projects:

This time I added a small delegation to support a new Hivean

@nowherestill, and finished my experience with delegation to

@brofi.

Helping to grow

The last one, but not the least. Russian segment of blockchain is not flourishing as Philippines or Ukrainian does (that depends on unity & mutual cooperation that Russians suck, and the slender support a-la 'фига с маслоу' they get), but still; sometimes new Russian users join the blockchain, and it is a decent thing to support them at the start.

Half a year ago I onboarded my good acquaintance to join Hive (very cool and artistic person!), but she was too busy with other projects and never started blogging here. 🤔 So, by the end of this year I powered up this silly amount of HIVE, hoping it may push her finally to start.

Looking back

Yes, of course, there are still 4 weeks left until the end of the year, and this is not correct time yet to sum up, but... I just clicked on my old #hpud post from December 2021, and could not resist drawing a few parallels ...

My Hive Power then was 16,622 HIVE ; now it has not doubled, but increased by 1/3. I was delegating then 30% of my power to several curating projects, and now I minimized this. I had curating duties in several projects, such as RU community, @cccf and @ocd - for now this is in the past, as well. Account's estimated value was $42,700 according to the actual market prices - by the current market price it is only $8,560. No thinking out loud, just a few facts to remember, what have changed during the year.
