At the Same Spot As 2.5 Years Ago .:. #MyHiveGoals 2024

What would be your first thought after reading that title? That my crypto portfolio is worth the same (USD) amount as it was 2.5 years ago? If you are not in crypto, you would probably have an impression that I just wasted 2-3 years of my life on something that is not worth doing... On the other side, if you are in crypto, you will have second thoughts and ask yourself... Wait a minute, at these moments, 3 years ago we were at the cycle top and today we are at the beginning of the bull run!

To be more exact, 3 years ago, in March 2021 we were climbing that first bull market mountain (we had 2 tops that year) when BTC went to 64K, and the other one, in late November 2021 went to 69K (2.5 years ago!)... So, as the current BTC price is around those numbers, it is logical that I'm at the same spot (if I didn't sell any BTC), but the truth isn't that black and white... There is one huge difference...

My portfolio changed... I still HODL my BTC bags, but I did sell (exchanged for other tokens) part of my ETH bags... I was doing screenshots of my portfolio in the last bull cycle and that's why I noticed that I'm at the same place as I was 2.5 years ago... The biggest difference between NOW and THEN is my HIVEPOWER, or staked HIVE, for those who are new to our ecosystem... In those days, I had around 26K HivePower and today, I'm over 83K... That was the TOP of the bull, and we could say that I almost quadrupled my HivePower in less than 3 years!! Do you remember the words from experienced crypto users that were saying to you: Wealth is built in the BEAR MARKETS! This is an obvious proof of those words!

But, there is another big difference between now and then... As those were the moments when everything was on the top (including altcoins), the HIVE price was around 1 USD and it was still climbing up toward $3.40 which marked the top...

Today, some altcoins went up, but they are far away from topping out and there is still a lot of space to grow...

Let's go back to #MyHiveGoals numbers! I skipped another week, and it looks like I found a different pace for these reports, doing them every second week...

I remember that I was complaining about creating fewer posts in the last report, but I think that I beat the "negative" record this time again... Oh, yes... I have created only 7 posts in the last 14 days (including the last #MyHiveGoals post) which is a very low number... I skipped the #HHHLive show last week as I had some offline stuff to do and that means 2 posts less... Also, I had some other issues, but I don't want to bother you with them... In any case, my content creation went down significantly...

Luckily, some other things did better... I have pulled out some H-E tokens, did some HBD to HIVE conversions, and was able to do a nice #HivePUD power-up. It wasn't one of those 1K power-ups that I was doing before, but it is "visible" on that Hivestats chart which means that it made a difference... I was doing manual curation during these 2 weeks and with my stake, the HivePower goal progress wasn't that bad...


It's time to update the numbers and put them into the spreadsheet until the next week! So, freshly updated numbers for #MyHIVEGoals, on March 10th, 2024 are:


MyHiveGoals01.png

In the last 14 days, I have added 704 HivePower to my balance (including HivePUD power-up), which would be 352 HP per week... It is a bit "fake number" (because of HivepUD), but it is a number that I should aim for in "regular" weeks...

The truth is that as the HIVE price is going up, it will be harder and harder to keep the focus on HivePower accumulation... I was there 2.5 years ago and it was a struggle, but it is possible to do it if you succeed to keep your FOCUS!


Another thing that will be harder to achieve is my second goal, getting more LEN tokens paired with HIVE in the Liotes Diesel Pool! The LEN price is going up, which means that they are harder and harder to mine (more people buying miners and staking them), but also, I need more SWAP.HIVE to pair them into the pool... I did expect that to happen this year, but I didn't expect that LEN would continue to climb at this pace as it's doing...

Anyway, I have added 128 shares to the pool which is 16 shares more than I did in the last report! As those shares are not compounding (as HivePower, for example), I have to catch up with my monthly goal as it will not become easier as time passes...


I'm not sure if you have noticed, but even the STARBITS token price went up a bit in the last few months, which is great to see! Rising Star is my favorite game on HIVE and I like the development, and the community, and it's fun to stack those cards! As I was going down in the general rankings, I decided to begin with regular market purchases of additional cards... Along with that, I'm still opening 60 packs per week...

In these 2 weeks, I have added a bit more than 1500 NFTs to my collection, which is a bit more than the last time!

These were my initial numbers and goals for 2024, created on January 7th, 2024...

When I remember that I bought my first crypto on 22.02.2021 ๐Ÿคฃ
Luckily, with a good education, I didn't sell out what I bought that spring, but bought more during the bear market and thus reduced the entry price.
And I have now welcomed this growth... You just have to be smart not to look at the fluctuations of the portfolio value, but take profit at some levels and wait for the next three, four years...

And as for HIVE, I'm letting it grow organically as far as it will go.
Maybe I will sound abnormal, but for me the important thing here is to have fun, share and read stories and other content, as crypto people would say, "I like technology, I don't care about money" ๐Ÿ™‚

0.00060407 BEE

Heheheh... I heard it happen to many... to join at the top... But, it's good that you used the bear and accumulated it there!

And as for HIVE, I'm letting it grow organically as far as it will go.

I tried to do the same but finished funneling all my second-layer tokens back into HIVE... Which wasn't a bad idea... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Those of use that carried on building our accounts during the bear market are about to reap the rewards BIG TIME! The Rising Star accounts (we have a few different ones for different uses) have never been stronger! Let's go!!!

0.00060093 BEE

Woohooo! Believe me, I still remember you repeating the words during the bear market... "It will be better when bulls come"... Congrats on your persistence in building during the bear... It wasn't an easy job at all!!!
Rising Star to the Mooon! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

I love your trip to the past to see when you were at the same dollar level. I'm curious to check myself.

0.00059743 BEE

Let me know your numbers if you succeed in gathering all the data... It is interesting to compare "now and then" ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

0E-8 BEE

I have about the same numbers as in May 2023 (I compared the beginnings of months), but my stats include both crypto and fiat. Just at a glance, Splinterlands assets were significantly higher then than now, that's why the general market growth didn't pump my overall bags to the same extent. 2.5 years ago (September 2021) I was about 2.25x higher overall, again due to Splinterlands, which was at ATH for all its assets. One of my biggest mistakes in crypto for not selling more of them at that point. Excluding Splinterlands, both then and now, I am about quite higher than 2.5 years ago. ๐Ÿ˜€

If the price of HIVE had stayed over $1, things would have been different for all of us today. However, I think that staking HP during this period was the best investment as I always say that we should have HP to the some extent.

0.00059938 BEE

Powering up HIVE all this time was more than beneficial... Not just from the monetary side and the curation+staking APR over 10%, but also from the side of growing the account and lifting up other people by upvoting their posts and comments... ;)

I agree.

You have planted well these years and now harvest times are approaching.

@ph1102! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @ yeckingo1. (3/20)

I did miss harvesting more in the last cycle and I hope I will not make the same mistake this time too! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

It's still so crazy to me how many people simply don't understand that stacking in the bear market is so powerful. It's like stacking gold and silver when times are good and having it to fall back on when times are bad. But with crypto it's so much more damn easier! Stacks on Stacks

0.00058145 BEE

I think it's not just the "not understanding" how it works, but rather how it is difficult to actually click on that BUY button when markets are bleeding... It's not an easy task at all and not everyone can do it...
Especially with all the noise spreading on the Internet, TV, etc... People get scared and stay paralyzed...

Wealth is definitely built up in the bear market. Nice job on building during those periods and nice job on your progress. It does suck to hear that Hive accumulation drops but we do get more HBD in return.

0.00059457 BEE

Well, HIVE accumulation doesn't drop as rewards are calculated in HIVE and that's why we are getting "more" HBD... The problem is hesitation in accumulating HIVE when the price goes up and the temptation of taking profits and selling it... That's why it's harder to accumulate HIVE in the bull market... + if you want to buy it, it is more expensive... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

0E-8 BEE

Letโ€™s assume that the price of Hive is over $1, you must have been on another level entirely. You didnโ€™t waste your time on irrelevant things but the volatility of crypto makes it feel like youโ€™re still in the same position

0.00059490 BEE

Seeing HIVE over $1 would get us to another level... Not just my holdings, but also all the people in my surroundings as they would get higher upvotes... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

0E-8 BEE

Hive was the clear winner, it's outrageously underrated, especially with the analysis you did with your BTC holdings and how your hive stake have almost tripled in 3 years.

0.00059272 BEE

What is most exciting is that my HIVE tripled in HIVE value, which wasn't the case with my BTC, ETH, or some other tokens... People forget that we can EARN HIVE during the bear market by creating and curating content...
That's another level of growing your portfolio!

0E-8 BEE

Bitcoin keeps going up, man. I think it's already surpassed its all-time high. I'm very curious to see how far it goes.

0.00059215 BEE

Yeah, I have done the "old news" thing again! I did something similar just a few weeks ago with my post "Bitcoin Surging To 55K! .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 159", when BTC went over 60K the next day... lol...

...and today we did surpass the ATH, after this post... ๐Ÿ˜‚

I like the price discovery phase as nobody knows where the price will finish (this cycle... if this isn't the last cycle... ๐Ÿ˜ƒ)...

Hehe we have came a long way! Fortunately, I have been DCA-ing the past few years so I have more than what I had in the previous run, even at the same price. But this time, I told myself I need to improve on my profit taking plans.

Wooohooo! That's great to hear that you are in a better place than you were before! I have converted almost all my fiat into crypto in my first run (2017-2018), so I didn't have too much more to DCA.... lol... But, I did accumulate some tokens like HIVE, and others through LPs and staking...

One of the things I am grateful of is that gradually my portfolio is getting quite better much more than last year and I believe it will continue to get more and more better as it actually goes

0.00016890 BEE

Hmmm... are you sure? I'm seeing a lot of power downs and cashing outs... That's not exactly how you grow your account...

0.00005014 BEE

Well said. She has been a regular comment farmer on my posts. Btw congrats on your growth. You seem to be very well positioned for the bull run that has already started. If only I was not so ignorant and stupid in the trading department... Most of my 100k+ Hive earned here over the years is already gone, mostly sold for ridiculously low prices and mostly because I had to. If Hive joins the craze later on (as we all hope) and is worth a couple of dollars again, Iยดm gonna be tearing my hair out. Big time.
