Hello again everyone! I'm enjoying my Saturday so far, I hope you are as well. My Saturday post over the last months have been about my weekly Hive progress toward my set goals I have for the year here in the ecosystem. I started to participate in the #saturdaysavers to help me keep track of my goals. I realized that before this I had goals but they were very fluid, so this has helped me to nail them down and make a plan to achieve them.
Overall it's been a great week, I've been posting ever day for a couple of weeks now. Typically I have taken days off here or there but I've felt motivated and had some interesting subject matter to share. I'll try to keep the streak alive, wish me luck!
Let's dive into the week in review!
Hive Power
I've had a pretty good week in this category. I'm currently at 3,864 as of the moment, and the pay from last week's post hasn't come in yet. That's an increase of 116 HP over last week, so I'm really happy about that. That's about 76% of the way to my goal of 5K HP! I should easily exceed it as well. I have been doing this goal organically so I can show newly onboarded members that significant account growth is possible without bringing in funds from outside the ecosystem. As I've said before there is no better sales aid than a personal success story, and I want to help onboard as many new members as I can!
DUO
I have to include DUO as it is the token I started recently with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman . If you stake 200 DUO you can receive a daily curation from the @duo-curator and starting Aug. 1 receive dividends as well. If you stake 500 DUO you can send a daily tip of DUO to an interesting author and in return you get the same amount of the tip staked in your account. I have purchased and hold just over 700.
We have already sold out of the first tranche of tokens and are in the second. With each the price increases so buying in early is a smart move. If you have any questions the link for the white paper is at the bottom of the post or feel free to ask me as well!

Leo
I did add in a Leo goal, I'm going to push for 1,500 by years end. I have just over 900 total right now so it's very doable, hopefully just from earning on my post. That's the new goal of the week, wish me luck!
PIMP
PIMP is one of my favorite projects on Hive and I had set a goal of stacking 50K this year. Unfortunately the price has jumped on me so it's slowed me down on my purchases. I currently have just over 26K staked and and receive some daily PIMP from tips and from the returns on the staked PIMP as well. This one I am playing cautiously. If I find good prices I will make it, if not I may make it this year...
HSBI
I've already surpassed my goal of 2K HSBI units this year. Having completed the goal I'm not setting a new goal but continue to increase my HSBI by sponsoring events and giving some away in my giveaway each Sunday. Don't forget to enter, the drawing is tomorrow and the link is just below. Here's where I am currently:
I'm up 31 units on the week, not too bad!
The HSBI program provides periodic upvotes on your posts, and the more you have the more frequent the upvote and bigger as well. If you want more information you can read my post about it here:
https://inleo.io/@thebighigg/hsbi-what-are-they-my-experience-and-a-starter-guide
I have been participating as a sponsor in several events that give out HSBI as a reward which have helped me arrive at my goal. Notably I am a sponsor of Shadow Hunters, Three Tune Tuesday, #NinetiesFriday , and I also do a weekly ten HSBI giveaway. Tomorrow is this weeks deadline to enter, if you want to enter just answer the weekly question and you are in the contest! Here's the link:
https://peakd.com/hive-140084/@thebighigg/ten-hsbi-and-two-duo-token-giveaway-week-19-94b
If you have questions about the events above feel free to ask, my favorite currently is #ninetiesfriday where you can share anything from the 1990's. Your imagination is the limit! One lucky winner will win six HSBI every week, three from @geneeverett and three from me.
SIM
I haven't done much with SIM this week, but I continue to hold about 1.06 million. I have spent some of the SIM in the dcity game for some assets to stay competitive. I do like SIM because it pays you daily liquid Hive depending on how much you hold. I think that starts at 8K, don't quote me on that and I would look up the exact number if you are buying in. It is pretty inexpensive, so buying in isn't to painful. Another bonus is you can place your SIM into the liquidity pool and still receive daily liquid Hive dividends on the SIM in the LP. That's a really nice perk, you get double rewards!
Another thing to consider here is that SIM is inflationary, so that may bring down the price over time. However, measures are being taken in the game to reduce this issue... But in crypto we all know there are never any absolutes...
PWR
I'm continuing to delegate HP to empo.voter to receive daily PWR tokens. I was placing them into liquidity pools but with other investments the last few weeks so I haven't been doing it actively. I need to start dong it again because the pool pays really well, so that's a goal this next week.
Other Tokens
No changes here, just continuing to collect EDS, DBOND, and DAB. I'm not actively buying more of these or miners. I like all three projects so I will continue to let them pile up in my wallet!
Silver
Talk about a rough week... For us silver stackers the charts have not been kind. A couple weeks ago it was up around $31 and now we're hovering just below $28. But I still believe silver is a smart investment because it will always have value even when fiat and banks fail us. If World War 3 comes around or even a zombie apocalypse you can use precious metals as money. Lets hope no serious problems confront us anytime soon, but best to be prepared!

Silver over the last five days
Silver Eagle silver coin are some of my favorites to buy because they are always in demand and it's a beautiful bullion coin.
From Apmex.com
Right now silver eagle coins are selling at $5.49 above spot price of silver on Apmex.com. That premium amount has been stable as of late, you might be able to find a better deal elsewhere so it's always a good idea to shop around. Just make sure you stick with reputable dealers because there are some fakes made of these coins.
If you are interested in precious metals the #silvergoldstackers community may be right for you. We share silver and gold items with each other, and even if you don't have any precious metals to share you can still participate and learn!
That will wrap up my weekly status report. I am making great headway in the Hive Power department and looking forward to reaching that 5K level sooner than later! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below. Thank you everyone for your support, it really is greatly appreciated!
