I don't know when Q1 went by. It seems like yesterday we were excited for the airdrops on the Hive blockchain with snapshots at the beginning of January.
When I was an adolescent, I thought Vergil's Fugit irreparabile tempus was just stating the obvious, so why did it become a famous maxim? Unless we have a time machine, time goes and never returns.
Nowadays it has more substance. Because I have many things to do, time never seems enough, and when you look behind at such milestones you realize you don't know when time has passed.
I'm pretty sure 20-30 years from now every day will count and I'd want to turn back the time to achieve whatever I would feel hasn't been achieved by that time in my life.
If only we'd have this mentality since we are young and believe that time is at our discretion, and not the other way around.
These progress reports are a way to 'capture time'. Not time per se, but rather what you accomplished during that time on certain goals, which otherwise can become blurred in your own memory from one week to the next, not to mention on longer terms.
Last week I thought - with arguments - that my HIVE and HBD goals for 2022 may become unrealistic if the price of HIVE remains at these high levels.
However, if HIVE pumps to much higher levels, or if HIVE goes to lower levels, things improve.
Let's see why. If HIVE pumps, I earn less HIVE as author rewards, that's true. However, I also earn more HBD, because the dollar value of the post rewards grow. And reaching 5000 HBD this year on HBD is one of my main goals. Like HP goal, it's behind.
If HIVE price goes into the 70-80 cents level again, or maybe even below, I earn more HP.
Since the HBD and HP goals are complementary, unfavorable conditions for one turn into favorable conditions for the other. So maybe there is still hope to achieve these goals.
Last month I powered up 713 HIVE and added 219 HBD to savings. Both were considerably below the targets, but market conditions were unfavorable (higher price levels for HIVE) and so I reduced purchases as well. The price of HIVE isn't high enough though to become a boost for HBD rewards yet.
However, I believe under these circumstances I did rather well last month on these targets.
On my main HP holding account, the 30 days evolution shows like this:
The account growth shows flat several days in a row because I don't receive any curation or author rewards in this account. It's not my posting account.
Funds go into this account as I transfer them directly or on a continuous basis from the power down from the posting account.
On my social targets, I believe I'm doing very well. But let's check.
I started the week with 6932 comments and 7148 replies.
The numbers on hivebuzz.me/@gadrian show that I reached 7069 comments (passed the 7k milestone this week!) and 7274 replies. That means 137 comments and 126 replies. Well above my targets of 81 comments and 76 replies weekly, which is great!
