Hey, guys!
You've probably heard the phrase:
Sell in May, and go away!
If not, it means sell everything you can and rest for a couple of summer months until the market returns to normal.
I didn't know that last year. And Hive is not the kind of site where you can't make anything at any time of year or time of day. That's why we work like bees here and don't pay much attention to cycles.
Coincidentally, it was last May that I took a real job here.
What do I mean by that?
I made a spreadsheet of HP savings and second layer Hive tokens and started keeping it every day. It was important to me to dive deeper into Hive and understand as much as possible how it works. Anything other than just writing posts, because that already made sense to me. Plus, I wanted to create my own database that would reflect my progress and my actions in the chain, over the long haul. I knew exactly what it would do for me in the future. But I had no idea what the effect would be yet.
During this year, I have sold almost nothing that has come to me as rewards, delegations, and curation. I just watched the courses and bought more when I thought the price was reasonable. I ended up averaging many times or just buying over the market when I had liquidity that came from the posts.
Here's what my numbers were at the end of May last year:
You may notice that I had 300 HP and all my savings were the equivalent of $238. That's about where a lot of people start here. And some people end up withdrawing cash. But I'm determined to keep going.
Here are my numbers so far:
You may notice that I have about 1900 HP and all my savings are equivalent to $1,271. It's only been eleven months and I haven't withdrawn or put anything into Hive. I was just here every day and learning. Writing, reading, and curating.
But my little first step was specifically the Hive PUD.
It wouldn't work with me. I'm not like that. It won't work for me.
A lot of people probably said that to themselves before they left Hive. And a lot of people will say it again. And by the way, I was one of them. For about a year. Then I just said to myself.
What the hell, I'm not worse or better. I'll just do it and see what happens.
So I participated in my first HPUD by turning in my first 10 HP. Just to try it out.
That's when I set my first goal for the month and got the idea for my spreadsheet. And that spreadsheet has been running for a year now. And I haven't missed an HPUD in over a year and have participated in HPUM.
Sell in May?
I certainly don't. I'll continue what I started last year and see what happens a year from now...

And now to the numbers.

Monthly goals
As I mentioned before, my main goal for March will be 2050 HP. I hope I can get to 5,000 HP before the next bull market. And 10,000 by the end of the year. These are ambitious goals, but they alone make me move even faster and create even harder in this bear market!
The rest of my goals for this month are below: ⬇️
| HP | 2050 |
|---|---|
| LEO | 1800 |
| PGM | 1200 |
| BEE | 330 |
| CTP | 1800 |
| ALIVE | 6700 |
| CINE | 1500 |
| ARCHON | 1200 |
| DHEDGE | 1200 |
| LENM | 4 |
| ALIVEM | 6 |
That's all for now. Until the next post!
