Growth Outlook & the Need for 'MORE'

Magandang buhay frens!

We are about to bid the second week of the month goodbye, whew! Hope the first two weeks of the year have been wonderful for you.

I woke up this morning thinking out loud it was Friday the 13th. "Nope, it's Saturday," the husband corrected my thoughts. "Fancy a drive for some fun?" he asked but then suddenly remembered he had to be in his father's place. So he drove off after breakfast, and so the little guy and I just did what we know best - dozing on and off most of the day, lol!

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market is mostly in the red. It seems to me that people are confused or should I say uncertain of how things will be after the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF. Despite that, the positive (bullish) outlook remains, hence the need to continue stacking up and staking more.

Speaking of which, here's what the second week of the year looks like concerning my stakes. It's the weekend after all and that means it's update time.

👉Staked HIVE (HP)

• Current HP: 16,750
• Previous Week: 16,615
• Increase: 135 HP

Staking 5 HIVE daily (7 days x 5 = 35) plus the rewards from my content increased the Hive Power for a little less than 1% during the week.

According to Hivestats, my 7-day curation reward was 23.73 HP and the content reward was 67.25 HP (90.98 in total). The numbers dropped from that of last week's total (190 HP) but I'm still super grateful.

And with the price of HIVE now hovering between 31-33 cents, it's tempting to get MORE of it using outside funds. But will see as I'm also trying to accumulate other coins off chain.

👉Staked LEO

• Current LP: 26,186
• Previous Week: 26,315
• Increase: 129 LEO

I decided to have a bit MORE fun on this one - staking LEO daily in the amount corresponding to the date in the calendar (i.e. stake 13 LEO today because it's the 13th of January). The idea occurred to me last week and I just have to do it, lol! I may have skipped some days though (on my alt) as the numbers don't add up correctly. Still, the idea is to increase the Leo Power each day.

Not to forget that LPUD is just around the corner and I intend to keep participating in the initiative not just for the badges or the fun of doing it, but to grow my Leo Power.

And something I read this morning got me intrigued for a little while. Who wouldn't want to make more $$$? I do know that Onealfa supports most premium users and I'm certainly one of the recipients of his big upvotes which translates to more $LEO. I honestly have not been checking how my earnings were but will try to stay more active to see how it goes.
