Tomorrow will mark two years since the launch of this project. Therefore, in addition to the regular monthly rewards, we are pleased to share the Second Anniversary Bonus!

Hive curation rewards received/claimed during July 2024 were 57.938 HIVE.
90% of that amount, shared among VOCUP token holders, was 52.1442 HIVE.
We added the Second Anniversary Bonus of 63.088 HIVE to that, making the shared total 115.2322 HIVE.

Second Anniversary & Rewards for July 2024

The snapshot of token holders was taken on July 31st, 2024, at midnight (UTC).
The rewards were sent to all the VOCUP token holders shortly before publishing this post, according to their respective token holdings and in the amounts shown in the table below.

HivePUD August 2024

As we missed last month's HivePUD for this month, we decided to power up the account for 200 HIVE of our own funds.

In two years, more than half of the initial investment has been returned, and the token is now worth twice as much as when it was purchased. 👍🙏

vocup 5 months ago

Yes, in two days, it will be two years since you purchased your VOCUP token, but as we started paying out rewards a month later (since the account and the project began), it's actually 23 months or 23 payments. 🙂
But yeah, your return so far is over 55% (55.14%) of the initial investment.
Although your stats appear negative or as a loss in our table (below), they are actually not.

upvocur - After 23 months of payment

In other words, and as you probably know, your token purchase (from us) is backed in our HP. So, if you decide to return/sell it back to us, you may always get what you paid. In that case, your current gain/profit would be 55.14% or 2.757 HIVE that you received in the past 23 payments (not counting POB, ALIVE, SPORTS, and CROP token bonuses).

upvocur - After 23 months if returned or sold for 5 HIVE

In the other scenario, if you sell it on the market for a price just a fraction below our current selling price, your net profit/gain significantly rises to over 155% (155.139%) or 7.756 HIVE.
(Selling amount of 9.999 + 2.757 in Rewards in past 23 payments = 12.756 Total Return
Total Return of 12.756 - 5 Initial investment = 7.756 HIVE net profit)

upvocur - After 23 months if sold for 10 HIVE

However, your case illustrates the core plan and the main goal of our project the best!

We said at the very beginning that it's a long or longer-term project and certainly not some get-rich-quick scheme.
When we started, the calculations we made showed the member(s) might get their initial investment back after 5 years (paid in Rewards during that time) + keeping the initial investment as a minimum or even more, depending on the token price at the time.
Now, observing it through your case, it seems it could be even earlier (maybe in 4 years. - We'll see!)

Interesting! Very interesting! It's really easy to see the progress on this case, as this guy has only one purchase and keeps holding all the way through. Although, I'm seeing it like this. 😁

Scenario	Investment	After 2 years	Total	Total if sold at current price
1	100	55.14	155.14	255.14
2	1,000	551.40	1551.40	2551.40
3	10,000	5,514.00	15,514.00	25,514.00
4	100,000	55,140.00	155,140.00	255,140.00
5	1,000,000	551,400.00	1,551,400.00	2,551,400.00	.

I like the 5th scenario the most! Of course, if I had that amount of money to invest! 😁
But the first 3 don't look shabby, either, and are way more realistic. (At least to me!) 😉

What I wanted to say is that the bigger numbers show the same case in a different light.

!LOLZ 😄 - Interesting table, but we have to correct you.
The first two scenarios are possible. (The second one, only if all 200 tokens that we initially put on sale were bought by one member at the very beginning and held all the way through.)

The last three scenarios (3rd, 4th, and 5th) are not possible, or better to say, not yet possible.
In other words, those three scenarios might be possible when more tokens are issued and sold, and if all the things that influence growth on the Hive blockchain keep rolling, more or less the same as they were by now.

So, it is not impossible, but you have to consider that every purchase has its own starting point from which those two years (four or five) are calculated to show the same or similar result as in your table.

For instance, you made 17 different purchases (16 from us and one from the market) at different times, in different amounts, and for different prices. Your oldest purchase was about two years ago, while the most recent one was just a few days ago.
Therefore, your cumulative overall performance (profit/gain or loss) would look entirely different from the "picture" of the member above.

On the other hand, if we observe each purchase separately, then you'll have 17 different scenarios so far. The first (2-year-old) purchase would show the same result as from the member above, while the last one (from a few days ago) would be at total zero (or complete loss) until the next reward payout, and the remaining 15 purchases, more or less, somewhere in between.

However, we agree with you that...

"...the bigger numbers show the same case in a different light."

You gave me a very comprehensive and thorough reply, and you really don't leave anything to chance.
I have to admit, it didn't cross my mind that the number of tokens needed for those bigger scenarios of mine had not been issued yet, but when they are going to be, it will be interesting to observe the future progress.
Sorry, but as an incorrigible optimist, I still believe I might see one of those scenarios happening, if not for me, for someone else with a thicker wallet. 🤷‍♀️😃

Well i just bought the remaining supply of the token off the market
hope this helps and thanks for curating my posts every now and again :D

vocup 5 months ago

WOW! - That's great! 😃 And, of course, it helps! It helps a lot! - Actually, your purchase just pushed our HP to over 7K!

Regarding curation, well, when it comes to curation of our members' posts, we actually avoid doing it.
However, on some rare occasions, we allow ourselves to do so.
But generally speaking, (and please, nothing personal and no offense), we don't want this project to turn into some closed circle-jerk-upvoting club.
Our main goal from the beginning was to support new or newer Hive members, or sometimes older ones, who lack support and recognition. However, we don't want to limit ourselves to that, as we don't know how things will go or develop in the future on the Hive blockchain. Therefore, we reserve the right to choose. But we would always rather help smaller and poorer (in HP) than some already thick wallets.
We feel that your and every other VOCUP token purchase (as well as the previous and future ones) supports us in achieving that goal while, at the same time, each member/supporter has a chance to earn something in return for that support.

The month of July was a fantastic one for you and I also want to thank you for always curating my posts
Happy Power Up Day!

vocup 5 months ago

Yeah, it turned out pretty well. 😀 We hope the following month will be even better, but we'll see!

Regarding the curation of your posts, it's just that you fall into the category that fulfills our main (but not only) selection criterion (new or relatively newer user, still minnow or with total author's rewards accumulated below, at the moment, approximately 5,834 HIVE - as this number constantly changes/increases, and with somewhat decent posts originally written - meaning, not AI written or copied/pasted plagiarism).
Besides that, it's not hard to curate your articles, as you are a very eloquent, good writer who covers various topics in a quite interesting way. 😊
