Welcome to my weekly record of the Hive progress of my family, my students that I have onboarded to Hive, and other friends on Hive!

Welcome to new members!

A hearty welcome to @marelizezeeman, @stephamba and @thefoxygeeksa for joining up on Hive! Some of these ladies may have started blogging and commenting while others are still looking around and learning before they jump in.

If you have not done so already, please go ahead and chat together, leave comments on THIS post if you want, just tag them in, example: "Hi @zakludick! Great to meet you. Thank you for the mention. Have a great Sunday!" Feel free to use this post to just talk as much as you want.

If you can believe it, besides these three, I am chatting to and educating other NINE people. This is as I predicted, that our membership will grow gradually until a certain tipping point is reached! Well done everyone and keep going - CONSISTENCY IS KEY.

**List ordered by current HP*

1st up is myseld at +78HP, it was a pretty slow week for me THIS week due to falling ill, which means next week's stats are going to be low for me. It will be up to the others to push onwards! I also passed the 1300HP milestone in HP!

2nd place is @clairemobey with a +26HP. She also passed the 450HP milestone and is on her way to 500HP. Soon, she will be our next Minnow!

3rd is @jasperdick with a +26HP. Not his usual position but I think he was on the road with work that week or something. BUT, he did still have posts up and he still move forward at a 1/4 of 100HP. For those starting, you will notice it takes a while to make your first 100HP, the first 100 is the "hardest" but not that hard and it certainly does, on average, speed up after that.

Jasper also passed the 1200HP milestone, well done!

4th is @aimeludick! +16HP (almost +17HP). Finally some action from my teenage daughter! 😁 This was due to @jasperdick adding everyone in as beneficiaries that took part on a song post of his AND doing two posts of her own. Well done! Stay active!

Aime also passed the 20HP milestone and nearly the 30HP mark as well. Onwards to your first 100HP Aime!

4th up and close on her heels is @pixelhuntersam with a +15HP. She ALSO hit a milestone of 250HP and goes onwards to 275HP next.

Wow! Lots of milestones this week! Well done!

The total HP of the Mobey-Ludick Household in HP is 1890,917HP, last week was 1764,425HP so a gain of +126,492HP. Amazing!

The total HP of the 11/22 students (over 1HP) of 2022 is: 2560,193HP, 2459,19HP last week for a bump of +101,003HP!

Nearly at 4000HP together!

The average for the 11 students is now, 232,744HP. Up again but still have the 4 Students above the line, 7 Students below that line. Soon, as our newbies get over 1HP each, this number will drop again for a while and then build up.

In terms of Financial implication for South Africans, this week this little community earned around R2 900 in crypto just this week. This is actually a "slow" week for us. This is also only at current exchange prices, which means this amount could be way more once we are out of Bear Market.

For perspective for our international readers, R20 per hour is minimum wage, which translates to around R3500 per month. Which, in my opinion, is too little by far anyway.

Coming up for next week - Students of 2022

Top commenters: @loadreaper by a landslide at 157 comments! Well done! Then myself at 97, @clairemobey at 45 and the brand new @marelizezeeman at 37! Well done!

Remember everyone, your new posts and engagements will effect what your earnings you will have in a week's time. Therefore you need to keep an eagle eye on what you want to accomplish and just keep posting and engaging!

You need to give if you want to receive. Hive is highly alturistic. If you engage with others, they will engage with you!

Nominations for Delegations

Thank you to @alonicus for your support and delegations to our community here!

I would like to nominate @clairemobey, @loadreaper, @aimeludick and @marelizezeeman.

If someone is keeping their delegation then it is justly so because they were consistent and awesome!

Post Highlights - Class of 2022

As usual I do this in decending HP order so we can show the biggest support to the lowest HP to get them up to speed!

My Hivebuzz Buzzy Badges

Because of loadshedding it seems that it broke my streak on Hivebuzz!

Vests and the Community

My current Vests are on 2,474,991 while last week I was on 2,334,633 Vests. A gain of +140,358 Vests. Great!
Last week I was 23.34% of a Dolphin, I am now 24.74% there so a gain of 1,4% towards that goal.

Look at my fishies!
