How Did The Week Go ?

This was mostly a good week. The start of the week was really good in terms of keeping posting momentum and commenting up, although everything kind of fell apart during the second half of the week due to work pressures.

The HBD figure might need to roll back next week; for the first time, I've tried to convert some HIVE to HBD and about 10HBD of the 16 I wanted to buy are in limbo, I assume waiting for some liquidity to appear. I'll leave it as-is, and see if the balance gets transacted or the HIVE is returned in due course.

HP saw good gains, with a significant amount coming from upvotes as a result of having Leo Premium for a month. I didn't pick much LEO up from it, but I understand there might have been some issues with nodes that are delaying some of the payouts. I have no idea f they will appear at a later stage, or they're just gone. One to monitor.

At the end of the month I'll do the maths and work out if LEO Premium is worth keeping once my gifted month is over. My gut feeling tells me that in the immediate future the cost and benefit are almost identical, but that it becomes worth it if I can increase my posting rate from averaging 1 a day to about 1.5 posts a day. It also becomes worth it if the price of HIVE goes over about £0.32 or the USD/GBP exchange rate goes from the current 1.26 dollars to the pound to about 1.30.

I'm away for a short break next week and it's unlikely I'll have much internet access, so although that'll impact my posting and comment rate, I'm really, really looking forward to the opportunity to get away and recharge my batteries !

Have a great week, everyone :D

If you're not familiar with SaturdaySavers, it's a fabulous initiative run by @shanibeer writing as @sally-saver on the @eddie-earner account, where we all support each other in getting to our savings goals.

If you are one of my friends reading this (or just someone who tripped over one of my posts), I really recommend this as a great community that's well worth joining.

I'm normally very disorganised about saving, and the support of the wonderful people in #SaturdaySavers has been invaluable in keeping me focused. I can honestly say that without it, my HP would probably be half what it is now.

So join ! You don't have to wait until the start of the year. The best time to start saving is ten years ago. The second best time is right now !

Hope you have a good few days away. Hive will still be here 😍

Were you using the "convert" feature in the wallet, or trading on an exchange? I think conversions take a few days but buying on an exchange should be instant!

Congrats on your progress!!

Thanks for your reply ! I was using the "Convert" within Ecency. The good news is that it did all come through a bit later on, but it was certainly a learning process 😁
