I’m just a thousand hive away from reaching my goal for this year. It looks like I’m definitely going to hit that mental milestone, and then who knows—maybe even reach 30k... It’s very ambitious, I know, but it’s not IMPOSSible!
How’s your week going? We’ve reached the halfway point of the year—and the middle of the week. We’re halfway to the end of the year and heading into the second half.
As we all know, when we’re halfway through something, it’s almost inevitable that we’ll take stock of where we stand. In this case, I can give a brief summary of how the past month went for me in terms of Hive.
In addition to the impressive milestone of 24,000 accumulated Hive, I’d also like to highlight that in 30 days I earned 734 Hive from content I created. I feel like I’m making progress in the quality of my posts, and I’m also lucky that some of those posts are being appreciated and curated by some moderators/administrators.
I managed to increase my reputation by another 18 points, and it currently stands at 75.18. I know, as I’ve said before, that reputation doesn’t distinguish one author from another in any way, but in my case, I confess that I’m a little obsessed with reaching level 80 in a few years. It’s not easy at all, but I’m going to roll up my sleeves to make it happen. Let’s see how many years it’ll take me to get there.
Unfortunately, the value of Hive continues to hover around 5 cents, having been unable to break past 10 cents for many months… Let’s hope that the changes regarding Hive withdrawals and conversions will better protect the currency’s value, allowing it to attract more users and be used more frequently for transactions than it has been so far. Inflation is rampant, putting Hive at risk of becoming practically worthless if nothing changes on this downward trajectory.
I still believe in the project, and I think Hive could get a boost when BTC breaks through 90,000 again, which could carry Hive along with it and bring more new users to the community.
This month I gained another follower, which, while not fantastic, is still much better than stagnation.
I hope the first month of the second half of the year will be even more productive. I hope to be able to do a 1,000 Hive power-up next month… Let’s see if things go well!
Thanks for reading my little monthly recap!
