I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2023, for reference, if needed.
After two months of retracing, people are again excited as we see green in the crypto markets.
If we wouldn't have been so influenced by FOMO and FUD, we would have probably seen such a pattern forming a while ago and stopped worrying about what Gensler does:
Bitcoin chart since the beginning of 2023.
While it's not a clear ascending triangle formation, it looks bullish in my interpretation.
Then, maybe relieved from FUD, we would have been able to see beyond what Gensler was doing and understand why he was truly doing it.
Understanding why something happens is always more important than knowing it happens. Unfortunately, we can't often see beyond the web of intrigues, until it's too late to make any difference.
Let's see what changed since last week regarding my Hive goals.
HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal
My staked HIVE is at 31,127 HP this week. I remain with 200 HBD in my savings, and building up my liquid HBD author rewards for a while. You never know when you need some liquidity.
Here's what the evolution of the HP+HBD goal looks like (see what a little HIVE pump does? I was in the mid 20ies% last week):
I'll need to have one of the targets (HBD or HIVE) reached to consider this goal completed.
If a target becomes too easy, I may increase the target, but not forever. Just like the market can play against your targets, they can play in their favor too.
LEO Staked Main Goal
I staked 183 LEO since last week, after buying some more LEO... More on that in the last section.
I passed 16k staked LEO which is nice because I like round numbers. With the combination of LEO/HIVE prices, it's getting harder to push for the yearly goal at the time, though.
Splinterlands Land Expansion Main Focus
Land expansion's main focus extends throughout 2023. Unless I change the strategy, it will be the only main focus / main goal for Splinterlands in 2023. But there will be several 1-3 months goals.
First Land-Related Goal: DEC/DEC-B Saved - Completed
This goal is COMPLETED.
Deadline (passed): When DEC-B offer runs out, either because all were sold out or because the time limit was reached (April 9th).
Target to consider the goal completed: 1.5 mil. DEC-B saved. Done!
DEC Saved 2 Goal - Stage 1 Completed
[COMPLETED] Deadline stage 1: June
Deadline stage 2: August
Deadline stage 3: End of 2023?
Target to consider the goal completed:
- stage 1: 1.2m DEC (COMPLETED)
- stage 2: 2.2 DEC (1m additional DEC)
- stage 3: 5 DEC (2.8m additional DEC)
Current situation: 1.2m DEC (liquid) and 37k DEC x 2 = 74k DEC in SWAP.HIVE:DEC diesel pool.
New Land-Related Goal: Cards for Staking on Land Stage 1 Completed
The purpose of this goal is to build the amount of high PP cards I need for staking on my tract.
We will need to fill 5 slots per plot with staked cards, without requiring summoners (that doesn't mean they can't be used as regular cards).
So, what are the details of this goal?
Deadline:
- [COMPLETED] Stage 1: June 2023
- stage 1.5: August
- stage 2: End of 2023 (this will be a new goal)
The total number of maxed-level* cards needed for staking on land: 500 (5 x 100).
- stage 1: need 120 cards for land by the deadline (decreased from 220)
COMPLETED- stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots
COMPLETED
- stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots
- stage 1.5: need 220 cards for land by the deadline
- stage 2: have 500 cards for land
- stretch goal: have optimized cards for 44 plots
(*) any card with at least 1000 PP suitable for the terrain types I own will do (better for better plots); doesn't have to be maxed
Current situation total: 124 / 500 (24.8%)
Current situation stage 2: 4 / 100
Time remaining until Stage 2 deadline: max 6 weeks
Comments Made
Original goal: 18k, REDUCED to 17k, by the end of 2023.
I started this week with a total of 14331 comments made.
Ended the week with 14445 comments made, which brings the number of my comments this week to 114. A little lower than last week, but still better than average... thanks to Threads too!
I now need an average of 95 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.
Weekly Buy - LEO
After HIVE recovered to some extent with the rest of the alt market I decided to use some SWAP.HIVE to buy some LEO at a more decent price (in HIVE), even though I planned not to buy any LEO this month.
