My Week in Review for June 28, 2025

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend so far! Like most Saturday mornings, when the weather is nice, I'm in my backyard enjoying some coffee. Black with no cream or sugar, a habit I picked up in the Army. You can taste the complex flavors of dark roasts much better this way. I usually bring out the laptop as well to work on my post for the day, today is no exception. I know my header already gave it away, but today's topic will be more investing focused.

It's been another interesting week in the markets and in the realm of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin slumped and pushed back strongly which has been an ongoing trend. The good new is that it bounces back and is showing strength, and may well test some new all time highs again before too much longer. The bad new is the alt coins tend to drop on the dips but not recover nearly as well or in some cases not at all.

Below is the perfect example, our token Hive. The charts look somewhat similar except Hive recovers somewhat then begins the downward momentum. Even worse it hasn't even tried to regain the $0.25 and higher prices we had not all that long ago. The good news is Hive is cheap and makes increasing that HP much more affordable. How long will it stay down or even go lower? Who knows?

At any rate, I'll be buying up some more Hive for the power up day coming next week.

Next up is my Saturday Savers portion of the post where I analyze my weekly progress toward my goals.

Hive Power

This year's primary goal is to reach 10,000 staked HP. I'm getting closer to the prize each week!

Current HP: 9,200 (92% complete)
Goal HP: 10,000

I increased my HP by 146 this week, which is just about average for me lately. I did power up about 11 Hive this morning, only because I wanted to see the 9,200! So, doing some quick math, if I continue at this rate I should hit 10,000 in five weeks, more or less. With Hive being cheap and a power up day coming I'll likely get there much, much sooner!

After that we'll see what comes next!

Completed Goals so far in 2025

It always feels great to have met a goal, and I've finished three so far and that HP is getting close as well!

PIMP

My secondary goal of the year. It's a great token that is backed by both BTC and physical silver. I'm slowly heading for 100K!

PIMP: 56,537 (113% complete)
Goal: 50,000

I do have some PIMP in liquidity pools as well, but that's not included in the numbers above.

LEO

I'm happy that I finished this one before the prices jumped on LEO. The token model is becoming deflationary, whereas before it was inflationary, which is resulting in surging prices. I'll keep earning what I can from posting and save them for the monthly power up day.

LEO: 5,329 (106.6% complete)
Goal: 5,000

PIZZA

This was nice to finish up, it's a goal I had in the back of my mind until I got a great swap deal. I get 15 tips a day to use as a bonus and occasionally a curation as well!

PIZZA: 1,561 (104% complete)
Goal: 1,500

DUO

Coming up on a year ago now, I started a token project with @bulliontools and @bitcoinman called DUO token. If you stake 200 DUO you receive daily Hive dividends and a curation on your quality posts once a day as well. For those who stake 500 or more you are able to tip someone else's post with some DUO, in return you receive the same amount of the tip in your account as well.

My current holdings:

DUO total: 1,949 (97.5% complete, almost there!)
Goal: 2,000

I'll complete this one in the coming week!

EDSI

I only added one to my stack this wee, maybe next week will be better. I like getting good deals so that involves a lot of waiting at times.

EDSI: 145 (72.5% complete)
Goal: 200

The team that created this token have a strong history of success and stability. Plus you get liquid Hive dividends once you hold more that 100!

PAKX

I really like this project, and it's one I only recently discovered. The token is expensive but each token is backed by actual Hive. It offers daily liquid Hive dividends once you hold more than ten. It also gives you the ability to tip and receive curations on your quality posts as well. I really like this one! But a word of warning, it is relatively expensive as the supply is very, very limited. I increased my holdings by 40 this past week.

Goal: 100
Currently held: 50 (50% complete)

CCD

I am continuing to hold onto my staked CCD as it gives me two free HSBI units a week because I hold over 500K. Those with one million get a free HSBI daily, I do plan to get there but I'm not sticking to any schedule right now. I do delegate HP to earn free CCD tokens as well.

CCD current: 529,500 roughly

So no changes in my position here, I will continue to hold and enjoy HSBI twice a week. @powerpaul is busy building some new functions for the project. I have clickable banner at the bottom of my post if you want more info on the project.

Silver and Gold

Silver and gold have slid down some this past week, but they aren't too likely to stay there. The end of the Iran war and potential thawing of the trade war with China has investors putting their money in other investments. We'll see what the new Canada tariff war will bring to the table, it may affect prices too! Right now precious metals are probably essentially on sale. I still can see gold reaching $4,000 per Troy ounce later this years and silver over $40 per Troy ounce.

Every week I like to spotlight a really good deal on silver or gold. This week's is pretty nice, you pay only the spot price of silver for one random silver round. There is a limit of three per customer, it's a really good deal!

From APMEX.com

Whenever you can buy up silver or gold at the spot price, it really doesn't get any better. It's a great way to start investing in silver or just adding to your stack.

Historically gold and silver are a great way to build wealth, and are always a smart investment in anyone's portfolio.

If you have any projects that you are finding interesting and promising please tell me about them. I'm always looking for new projects!

That will wrap up my post for this #saturdaysavers. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below and thank you for all of your support. I really do greatly appreciate all of you here on Hive! Have a great weekend everyone!
