Hey Hivers,
Hope y'all are doing good! Last month, I did my usual Power Up, got my PUM badge, and I prepared most of the data for an account update, but once again I waited so long before finalizing my HPUD post that it was just too late. A PUD post 3 weeks into the month makes no sense I guess. It's been happening often this year. But not this time! Just like I used to do every month so consistently before, let's take this opportunity for a detailed review of my account growth and performance, as well as my goals and targets.
HIVE
We'll start with Hive of course. In spite of using the 100% Powered Up option for most of my posts (the main reason is to go after the PUM badge), I was able to accumulate a bit more HBD than usual. And with the relatively low Hive price, it was a good time to convert them. So, today I powered up slightly more than my usual, and went with 16.666HP. Still quite small of course, but I want to keep some liquid Hive for the next couple of months at least.
I also increased slightly the amount I pushed to HBD savings. Still symbolic but it's better than nothing I guess. It also triggered the interest, a little over 2 HBD... Yes, I know, in the country I live, it's basically nothing, but it's a start!
As for the account growth, it was pretty good this month. Consistent and steady once again, but the slope was slightly steeper. Starting with 6226HP, I was able to add 180HP to reach 6406HP. I believe the last time I fixed a target, it was 4.5HP a day, we're easily above that, yay!!
And finally, adding today's Power Up, we reached the final total of 6422HP for an overall increase of 196HP in October, my best in a very long time!
SPORTS
I think I mentioned it last time but the SPORTS growth slowed down a bit for me, and I reduced my target to 300k a month. It was reached both last month and this one with about 360k added to my stake, it was better. I saw a few people were trying to change things with the tribe, but I admit I didn't follow. With my SPORTS stake closing in on 21M, I should probably pay more attention.
ALIVE
With its main leader missing, the We Are Alive tribe still seems a bit dormant, even though some people, especially the #AliveAndThriving team, are trying to keep it alive (no pun intended). I stay hopeful it will resume like before and I keep staking everything I can. Adding about 719AP to my stake in October, it was just above my increased target (700AP added monthly)
PHOTO
Like I mentioned last time, setting a target for PHOTO is always difficult for me, as my performance used to be quite inconsistent. It still varies but it's been above 2000 (my increased target) the past 4 months.
LOLZ
My LOLZ performance can also be inconsistent. But I added several delegations, and it's doing quite well at the moment. In fact, with about 850 added to my stake in October, it was almost 4 times my target! We'll revise this target for sure.
Targets
- For Hive, it will be challenging, but I think it's time to raise my target to 5HP added to my stake daily.
- It's still a bit slow for SPORTS, but let's see if we can get a little bit more this month with 350k
- I think we'll keep the 700AP monthly target for ALIVE. It's challenging enough for now
- Same for PHOTO, let's keep the target at 2000 monthly. One more good month and maybe we'll revise it
- For LOLZ though, we need to increase the target. With my current delegations, I think between 750 and 800 added monthly is a good target.
- Even though I keep staking a few other tokens, I don't have any targets yet. Same for diesel pools, I just a little bit here and there for now.
And that is it. It was a pretty good month, with most of the target reached, and easily beaten in some cases. The growth is steady but getting slightly faster. Let's keep this trend in November!
Hive on y'all and have an awesome November!
