Another week in the books, and with Week 26 behind us, we’re officially into the second half of 2025. Time to check in, celebrate the small wins, and reset for the big push ahead! 💥
🐝 What’s Been Happening?
📈 Work is still hectic (seriously… when do we get a holiday?), but things are finally easing off enough for me to sneak in some Hive time.
🛠️ Behind the curtain: I’ve been quietly prepping the bots for growth and tweaking them after our server had to flex its muscles against a solid SSH attack. No damage done. Everything’s stable again.
🚀 Oh, and… my Hive Witness Node is LIVE (yes, the Hive one—not Hive-Engine). It’s fully operational now, just waiting for votes (@botlord! go here -> https://ecency.com/witnesses ) so it can start producing blocks. Your vote would mean the world.
📊 Mid-Year Progress Snapshot
Metric | Week 26 | Week 27 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
Hive Power | 10500 | 10708 | 🔼 +208 HP |
HBD | 1420 | 1420 | ➖ Steady (earning 15% APY!) |
EDSI | 94 | 97 | 🔼 +3 |
BBHO | 6867 | 6978 | 🔼 +111 |
BXT | 281 | 292 | 🔼 +11 |
LEO | 535 | 537 | 🔼 +2 |
🏁 Halfway Through 2025 — Progress Check
Hive Power: Started 2025 at 8,000 HP, aiming for 15,000 HP. Currently at 10,708 HP. That’s 44.7% of the yearly goal achieved — slightly behind, but the second half is when the real gains kick in. I hope. And work for.
HBD: Steadily stacking thanks to 15% APY interest. On track to cross 1,500 HBD before year-end if I keep letting it compound.
Layer 2 Tokens: BBHO, BXT, and now LEO are all creeping up. Slow and steady. Pools and dividends are doing their thing.
🌱 Plans for Week 28
✅ Push the bots summary post updates live ✅ Add Layer2 token tracking to Hive Earnings ✅ Focus on gathering votes for my witness node ✅ Snipe some dips and power up more if possible
🌟 This week’s theme? Quiet consistency. No drama. Just solid stacking. We’re building, one block at a time. Let’s make the second half of 2025 count.
