🔥 What I’ve Been Doing This Week

1️⃣ Big Hive Power-Ups

• Powered up a lot this week, partially due to HPUD and partially because of our new family budget rule:
  • Any savings from our grocery budget gets invested into Hive! 💪🏼
  • This way, our household directly benefits from the Hive ecosystem while growing our stake!

2️⃣ Pumping Up EDS-D & Passive Income

• I’m steadily converting all my HBD into EDS-D, which in turn increases my EDSI payouts.
• Currently earning 2 EDSI per week, but the goal is much higher!

3️⃣ SWAP.HIVE Strategy & Leasing

• Leased 1,000 HP on the Hive Lease Market, which brings in steady SWAP.HIVE earnings.
• Most of it is going into Diesel Pools:
  • SWAP.HIVE:ATX
  • SWAP.HIVE:ATF
  • SWAP.HIVE:PWR
  • DVS:DHEDGE
• The remaining SWAP.HIVE is converted into LEO & BXT, boosting my second-layer token holdings.

4️⃣ STRIDER Token Rewards – Now Live!

• Finished the payout script for @thestrider, and the first real test run was completed this morning.
• STR token holders (min 1K STR) now receive extra STR & IDD rewards.
• Delegators to @thestrider now get 20% from curation rewards! 🏆

5️⃣ Fighting the Downvote Battle

• Still dealing with downvotes on some bots due to shifting community rules.
• It’s frustrating and sometimes demotivating, but I’m committed to making the bots as fair & useful as possible.
• If you have any feedback on the bots, let me know!

🎯 Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

✅ Keep powering up HP & hitting 9,000 HP soon!
✅ Continue reinvesting in Diesel Pools & passive income streams.
✅ Work on stabilizing the tipping bots to avoid unnecessary downvotes.
✅ Push towards the next big goal: 10,000 HP!

🏁 Final Thoughts

This week has been one of my strongest yet, despite ongoing challenges. The new grocery-budget rule has been a game-changer, helping us stack more Hive & invest in the ecosystem.

With Leo’s 500 goal reached, the next steps are to increase my BBHO & BXT holdings while continuing the EDS-D & EDSI strategy.

🔥 Thank you for reading! Here’s to another week of growth! 🔥
