Hi Friends
Today, I have reached over 2000 Hive Power which was the next milestone for me on HIVE. I have been a member of HIVE for more than five years. Considering this period, reaching 2000 HP may not be very important, but I think it is important in terms of motivation and consistency. Sure, I have not done this period, more than five years old membership, to the fullest. I had dropped by HIVE from time to time and shared some posts until the middle of 2021, but I have never left HIVE.
I had about 590 Hive Power in August of 2021. From August on, my activity on HIVE has increased gradually by posting, upvoting and commenting on posts thanks to DApp. Meanwhile, we have started to be active on HIVE again together with some friends in our Hive Turkiye Discord channel. As a result of the developments in Turkish Community, the curation trail has started to be active again after three years and has started to support posts written in Turkish with tr tag. Nevertheless, the number of people writing in the Turkish Community has decreased considerably after the earthquake disaster in February 2023. I hope TR Community will go back to its old days in the upcoming days.
2022 was the year in which I shared the most posts, read the most posts, upvoted the most posts, received the most upvotes, commented on the most posts, and received the most comments on HIVE. I still try to keep going this way. Besides, I have also joined the HIVE Power Up Day since April 2022 and I have powered up 111 HIVE till then. Having reached my another goal, 1750 HIVE Power on HIVE, I reached the next goal, 2000 HIVE Power, in months and a half. Just as it requires effort to achieve something in life, it also requires effort to grow your account on HIVE. If it wasn't for the Ecency DApp, perhaps I wouldn't be this much active on HIVE and wouldn’t be able to achieve my goals as well.
I see HIVE as a long-term investment. For this reason, I regularly power up the HIVE I receive from author and curation rewards. As for HBD, I have long been transferring HBD into the saving account since the interest rate was increased to 20%. It sounds very reasonable to me for now to receive 20% annual interest payout for an instrument whose value is almost equal to 1 USD. However, I think to convert some of them to HIVE to power up when its price is over more than $1. For now, I think to continue accumulating some more HDB without setting any goal for myself. Thus, I will be able to convert the accumulated HBD over 500 to HIVE and participate in HIVE Power Up Day whenever I want.
I think to convert a considerable amount of HBD to HIVE for a significant power up if the price of HIVE falls below $0.30 ever again. Converting some of HBD interest payouts to HIVE, I already participate in HPUD. I have never drawn neither HIVE nor HBD from my wallet and used them for any other purpose. There might be people who need this income from HIVE; however, I am in favor of powering up HIVE rewards up to a specific goal for a stronger account and the community. I would say this goal should be at least 5000 HP.
I would like to thank those who supported me through this period, firstly on behalf of TR Community; @tarazkp@meesterboom@ericvancewalton@phortun@olga.maslievich@bluemoon@brian.rrr@geekgirl@antisocialist@cryptospa@traciyork@torem-di-torem@borepstein@slobberchops@goddesseva@ph1102@daltono@revisesociology@taskmaster4450 and the whole HIVE family.
My next goal is to reach 2250 Hive Power. May everyone achieve their goals on HIVE, thank you for reading.
