July seems to have come and gone swiftly. Can you believe it's already August?
Anyhow, it's the first of the month so as most of us already know and practice, it's time to do some staking of HIVE and of $LEO too.
But first, let's take a look at the before numbers. This also serves as my update to week 30th in the Saturday Savers Club pertaining to my Hive goals.
Hive Power
This being my secondary goal doesn't mean it will be left behind. From 624 HP at the start of the year, I realized the number has now grown three times and I'm truly stoked!
Thankful too for the support received. This won't be possible without other people and curators who are spreading their upvotes.
My goal for the year was to reach 1,500 Hive Power. It was good to have crossed it off in the middle of June.
Perhaps it's too early to say that I was playing small to set a new target of 2,000 HP, but it looks like that number will be achieved sooner than December. I do have to push myself to create at least 2 or 3 long-form content a week for that to happen. Otherwise, it would take a lot longer.
Current: 1,900 HP
Week 29: 1,806 HP
Growth: 5.20% (94 HP added)
Leo Power
This, on the other hand, being my priority for this alt is growing steadily. From 7,536 LP on January 1st, it has increased by 178% in the last 7 months. The initial aim was to become a Lion before the year ends, that is to say, have at least 15k Leo Power. I'm just glad that number was surpassed too.
I would like to think believe that the new goal of 22k Leo Power will be achieved sooner, September maybe? We shall see.
Current: 20,973 LP
Week 29: 20,855 LP
Growth: 0.56% (118 LEO added)
Anyhow, back to HPUD, I've just added a level 1 (19 HIVE) to my stakes. Will be growing this slowly but who knows I'd change my mind and add more before the day ends.
This will be my 8th-month streak participating in the HPUD initiative and hopefully will complete the whole year without missing any of the cool badges.
Got to admit, these are like a checklist of what are being achieved on-chain. Kudos to Hivebuzz for coming up with these and making our Hive journey more colorful, gamified and memorable.
I'm still being challenged by the absence of electricity, thus affecting and slowing down my daily activities. Using mobile phone is certainly not the best experience when Hiving but gotta do what we can no matter what.
LeoFinance DHF Proposal
By the way, if you haven't read about the LeoFinance DHF Funding proposal, may I encourage you to do so. Unlike other dApps, they are not asking for support to fund their frontend development, instead they are asking for marketing funds to on-board 10k more users to Hive.
They have placed a guarantee that should their efforts fall short and they are not able to reach their target number of new users, they will refund all costs to DHF. I think it's a win-win, yes? It would be great if more people will get onboarded to the blockchain through this initiative.
Check here for the detailed proposal.
- Support the proposal via peakd
- Support the proposal via Ecency
- Support via Hivesigner
At the time of this writing, the proposal has garnered 63% of its needed support. 37% more for it to pass. I have supported the initiative because the growth of Hive means beneficial to us all. Hope you'd vote too.😉
This is all for now and happy new month!
