I just received a new badge from @hivebuzz telling me that over time I have received a total of 8000 hive power through posts, comments and curation.
Wow!!! That's pretty amazing. At the current Hive price that is a total of $3,344.00. I'll take it!!! But, I only have 3273 hive in my wallet. So where did my other 4,727 hive go?
Well first of all, I've never sent any hive off chain since the original fork. So it is technically all there.
My first thought was how much Hive did I convert to HBD? Well, not much. I looked back at some attempts of swing trading to earn more hive and I found about 160 total hive going into HBD that I hadn't converted back yet. So it didn't go there.
Then it started to down on me. I went Leo crazy when it launched and spent $1,000 worth of hive on Leo. It wasn't my finest moment but honestly most of the hive I've earned since leo launched has come from @leo.voter voting up my leo posts. In fact it is probably most of the 8,000 hive that I've earned so a blessing in disguise.
I also spent a bunch of hive on cub and staked it. So it's still there, it will take some years to pay that back. Same with Polycub. I'm not mad because again, I owe most of my earnings to the expanse of the Leo community.
It turns out that the biggest chunk (not sure how much) went to splinterlands. Buying packs and cards and whatever silly things I did over there. I have a few good assets but I'm probably the worst player in the game. In my mind spending hive on splinterlands was my biggest gamble. Now had I had the guts to sell my cards for profits along the way I would have made more hive but I've never sold anything.
In the end, that may turn out to be my biggest mistake. Not taking profits. I've never done, hadn't really considered it and honestly have no really good escape plan when I need it.
So in the comments tell me where your hive has gone when it went somewhere.
