Market Rant
October flew by, and I must admit that it seems like only yesterday that everyone was yelling "UPTOBER!" Now we are officially two months away from the end of the year. I am not sure if it is just me, but while it appears that the months have passed quickly, it certainly feels too slow from a crypto standpoint.
It has finally dawned on us that alt coins may remain flat for the rest of Q4. BTC experienced a strong rally towards the end of October, but then fell back to 69k, returning to where it all began and dumping altcoin even more severely.
It is safe to say that this is not alt season, and BTC can continue to rally until we officially enter 2025, the year of the holy grail. Sorry y'all this is just a moment of self reflection before the main them of this post. Every time I try to write a post, I can not help but poke fun at the market.
HPUD
Okay, so I broke my usual 200-hive monthly power up last month. So last month I did a 100 hive power up and this time around I'm going do be doing about 121 Hive power-up. I can not get enough Hive to power up, for a variety of reasons, so I took the opportunity to congratulate some of the people whose content I regularly follow on their power-up.
HPUD is always an exciting day to see so many people put their Hive where it can work for them. Staking may categorically refer to more positive things such as Curation rewards, but it also refers to taking liquid Hive and locking them up in solidarity and support for the chain, so even when people power down and take profit and possibly buy stable HBD, you know that these people are targeting lower prices to actually buy cheaper Hive during the bear market.
Well, I am also sentimentally biased towards this population, call it circle jerking or whatever, but leaning toward those who consider their long-term goals and the likelihood of this place thriving is a no-brainer.
Hivebuzz is going to create a collection of power-ups, which I am looking forward to seeing.
HPud Achievements
So one of the people I follow and constantly interact with recently reached 100k, which felt surreal. I was very happy for him because he talked about how hard he has worked to actually get there, it's not easy to get to 100k and for an average size orca, but after reading about all this investment strategies and even buying at the top at some point.
You will agree with me that these are some of the people who deserve a successful altcoin season.
However, I hope that one day I will be in a position where I can have that HP and actively participate in governance and curation, which I am currently unable to do.
I need a big break to be able to achieve some of my goals, and then these goals will begin to bring back the Hive, which will help me actually get to the 100ks and all that, but for now the focus is on establishing myself in real time, taking care of my immediate family, health, and all these other expensive medications.
GOALS
For the time being, I will stick with these small power-ups until I am able to raise them. I call them "tiny power-ups" because they are still not up to my expectations. The altcoin season has not yet begun, so you may want to start loading up.
That $5 power-up could become $50 or more during alt season, which is why it is critical to never underestimate these power-ups and the potential curation reward they can bring you.
