Dear Hivers!
Another month that flies by🐝, and another year too! And now it's January already! I can't even believe it, we are in 2025. We start a new year and we always hope that it will be better, that it will bring us more surprises and good news, and we also hope to be happy, and of course also in Hive. So the best way is to start the first day with the special Hive day, happy HPUD and happy new year! 🎉
First thoughts of this new year...
We have been through a lot, we have done a lot of things, we have left some things and decided to do others. We have also written many posts here, participated in contests and commented on interesting posts by others. A lot in this year that has ended, but we still have more to do in this new one.
I think I have made important decisions, because yesterday I officially finished my job, and now, for the moment, I will dedicate myself more to the new university studies that I decided to undertake again, we will see how everything goes...
All this involves in some way a greater degree of uncertainty than in the past, again, but we have learned and evolved, we just have to believe in ourselves more and have confidence. And new things, ideas and decisions will surely come even if now we can hardly even imagine them. That's life. As John Lennon said, "life is what happens to you while you're making plans."
So I make some plans, but I also let things happen, surprises appear and everything changes, because we live in constant change even if it doesn't seem like it sometimes. What will happen?
Well for now, I have opened my new 2025 calendar and magically it says that: "It is time for the next chapter". And effectively I have to study now!
And about plans and new wishes I wrote a bit more on my last post HERE
And as for Hive, I will continue here, simply because I like to be here, and to write, I will do something then, little things, details and reflections perhaps. I hope that you will also continue there, accompanying us in another new year. Thank you all for being here, reading me and commenting, dear friends.
After all this, to the point, now let's see how this intense and last month has resulted for us:
Hive Power Up Day
Well, so let's focus now on the HPUD, it is therefore my 25th Power Up Day in total (25th to start 2025, cool). And as I had already some HIVE it has been fast to power up more HP now!
In my case it is the 1st of 2025 obviously just January now. So the whole past year I have been growing on Hive, and hope also in this new year. So let's go with the Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪
So here I have confirmed finally quickly a new POWER UP of 100 HIVE again because I have checked my HIVE amount and still I can power up a big amount also this month, and it's great to start the year like this. A big power up in 2025! Let's keep growing!
And then my HIVE POWER now grows again, now 8,723HP!!! Although the total with delegations and support is more than 7,924HP taking into account the done and received delegations (-800HP). Good numbers already and I have increased even more some delegations (to Ecency and Qurator mainly), and I am planning to increase some others, they are profitable, I think so.
And of course, after reaching 8000HP my new big goal is to reach (not 9000) but the great number of 10000HP!. Not so far really, right? I see how the amounts get bigger and each time faster as more HP we have, specially now since I'm a Dolphin, and that's great.
Savings & Stats
Some time ago I decided to start saving some HBD, in small amounts, time to time, and the amount saved has grown thanks to the interests! And I also added 50 HIVE one time. Hope my savings (=ahorros) will grow more! Now I have more than 266 HBD!!!
And I have more Ecency points that use for promoting my posts a bit.
As I always say, my goal is to keep growing on the platform, keep publishing when I can😅, joining some contests and enjoying writing and engaging and of course, although it won't be so easy as I'm gonna have less time from now on. But still growing in these last 30 days! (I checked hivestats.io) and I think that December has been fairly good, see the orange line!
Hive Power Up Month
Well I have already said in the previous HPUD post that I decided to stop powering up every single day during the month, it means no more PUM for me. It means too much time needed to focus on this and currently I have to focus on other different matters more. And also motivation is not the highest lately, I keep being present but not giving to Hive all my attention as I have done until now, it is not worthy sincerely.
Reputation Level
And well about my reputation, recently I have reached the level 73 on #HIVE! And thinking in the next step: level 74, let's see when because it is a slow process...
Holozing & Tokens
And all hivers always say, there is always more things to learn about the ecosystem and as you know well, many opportunities here on HIVE! For example, the Holozing game project and token.
I have arrived late but from January 16th, of the last year 2024, one year in this project now! And since then I have started to claim my rewards and I have added a bit to the liquidity pool and delegated some HP too to @zingtoken to get more (and also increased), and then with the ZING rewards staked I'm earning more every time! Although curiously my current position is 1020, worse, so more people have increased their ZING amounts too, I guess...
This month of December 2024 there has been a BONUS challenge, getting the rewards and clicking every day of the month, I got more rewards!
And I check my tokens wallet, where I still keep a nice amount of ALIVE token and other ones. For example, I have also some LEO (but I don't grow much), since November I don't get any reward despite my HP delegation (not big but enough until that month) so after asking on Discord and so on, I have decide to cancel the HP delegation and also the LEO delegation for now. I'm just thinking if I should change that token for more profitable and interesting one. I really do not understand who LEO works but still no answer about why my rewards from leo.bounties suddendly stopped (November day 18)...
And I have also LUV, LOLZ, PIZZA, etc. and of course ZING. But I won more LEN thanks to some contests like the #POBphotocontest in the Proof of Brain community, and I got INDEED two months ago which it seems interesting. And I want to increase my BBH amount too to reach 1000 (but still 300) and also HOPE!
