Hey All;
Today here in India we have one of the Biggest Festival Deepavali/Diwali being celebrated. Diwali is a festival of lights and is a symbolic victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Refer to the link to know more about Diwali and how it's celebrated all over the World.
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all my friends and dear ones a Very Happy & Prosperous Diwali. Wishing You all the best of health and happiness.
So this was all about Diwali. Let's come to the main topic of becoming an Orca here on HIVE.
Dream to Become An Orca
I was of the belief that after accomplishing 50K Hive Power, my ranking would change to ORCA. But I was wrong that ranking/status changes based on the Vestested Shares, which in terms is the Hive Power that you PowerUp.
From the following image, you can clearly see that I've close to 99+ Million Vested Shares.
After doing a lot of reading here and there. I came to know a person would need to Vest close to 100 Million Shares to get this status of Orca. I'm a person who loves to accomplish GOALs. Having a Dream of becoming on Orca was a long time due.
I was already having liquid HIVE but didn't PowerUp for some reason. The reason being that if the price of HIVE reverts back I'll trade it for ETH. As when the price recently tanked I bought/exchange close to 2.6 ETH for HIVE. Anyway since the price isn't recovering that much I was hoping for. I thought let's do something useful with the liquid HIVE that I'm having.
So, I thought what a good day/time to accomplish this Dream on this Ocpcious day of Diwali. My ranking before becoming an ORCA was 330 and can be depicted from the following image.
Ranking Before Becoming An Orca
I calculated that I would need close to 52K HIVE PoweredUp to get to 100Million Vested shares. Current the HP that I've powered up is close to 51.6k+. So altogether, I needed another 600 HIVE to be PoweredUp.
Finally, PoweredUp the 600 HIVE to accomplish my Goal/Dream of becoming an Orca here on HIVE. I would say that it has been an amazing journey thus far. A lot of learning, making new friends, and a lot of investment has been involved as well.
It seems like that status doesn't change immediately on HiveBuzz. I can see that it did change on hiveblocks. And now I've close to 100+Mill. Vested shares. So, officially I'm an Orca. wow...:-)
I look further to contribute to the best of my abilities here on the HIVE platform. And will continue to spread the word HIVE as much as I can..
HIVE is FREEDOM...
HIVE is FUTURE...
Best Regards
