My Hive Goals (Week 4, 2025)

This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLDR form. The table has only a general overview, with details expanded in the post.

HBD in Savings at the Bull Market End Goal: 5,000 HBD

This is a goal inherited from last year, but mostly intended for this year.

I moved 20 HBD to savings for this goal, with the smaller rest in stand-by in case HIVE drops further. Personally, I'd prefer if it hadn't, but we'll see.

Looks like the new Chinese DeepSeek AI model took many by surprise (I might be among the few who expected this from the Chinese ,and if I remember well, even wrote about it briefly). If anything, I'd say this is a positive development for crypto, since they open sourced the model (including its weights? I haven't read deep enough about it yet), and it's a match or is better than the best already launched AIs of the American corporations, at a fraction of the costs. The open source + low costs combination should be a positive fact for crypto, not a negative one. It's true, it's a worrying sign for the existing top dogs of AI models from the Silicon Valley, which have exorbitant costs for their proprietary models (except LLama, which is open source, but still costly to train and operate at scale, by comparison).

But let's go back to the HBD goal.

Current situation:

A little higher than last week, but still, mostly in stand-by. Interest will also be paid this week.

Social Goals

Here are my social goals in 2025:

  • posting: at least 350 posts (max 1 per day) in 2025
  • commenting: an average of 81.25 comments per week (11.6 per day); this is at the beginning of the year, the average needed will change throughout the year;
  • publishing Week through Adrian's Lenses every week of 2025 (hopefully, maybe I can have 1 exception, under special circumstances)

Here's the current situation:

I have posted every day since the beginning of this year. Currently at 7.98% with 7.69% needed to be in the green.

I also started the week with 21,613 comments made. Ended the week with 21698 which means I made 85 comments last week, which is a little better than the average needed. Note that I had a great start on this last year too, and ended up not completing 100% of the comments made goal. I currently need an average of 81 comments weekly to reach my target by the year end.

I published "Week through Adrian's Lenses" news roundup every week this year. Now at the 107th edition.

Golem Overlord - Prestige 30

Started with prestige 20 (and XP 10,544) in week 2.

Here's the current situation:

Current Prestige level: 20

Needed XP to level up to Prestige 21: 42,913

Remaining XP to Prestige 21: 13,789

Days to Prestige 21: ~11.5

When upgrading to next prestige level, 75% of my XP will be cut, and I'll start over the climb from there.

Started the week 19,339 XP, ended it with 29,124 XP. That's 9,785 XP gained last week (interestingly, exactly 1k more XP than last week, I wonder how!). Still need 13,789 XP to Prestige 21. That's 11.37 more days, if nothing changes in my pace of converting reputation to XP.

This may be a too tougher goal for 2025, but we'll see. Worse case scenario, I'll extend it in 2026. But I'd like to see it completed in 2025. Let's see what I can do about it.

ZING Accumulation Target: 200k

Slow and steady. Everything fine for now.

Here's the current situation:

Started the week with 74,221 and finished it with 77,225. Made 3,004 this week, and I need an average of 2,558 ZING weekly to achieve this goal. So far this seems reachable, but we'll see how it evolves.

Sticking with your inherited goals from the year before this one probably keeps you concentrated. The market might get very crazy in a few months time and this is when people tend to forget or cancel their initial goals for the end of the bull run

I hope they won't, because that will be exactly the time when they shouldn't and be even more determined to following them.

I already read a post yesterday where the poster said they abandoned their original bags for something else

Nice progress on your goals. Do you expect Hive to drop quite a bit? I think the market will do whatever it plans to. I have some Hive from the previous few months and it makes me wonder if I should change some of that back into HBD.

I don't think so. For some reason, I see quite a bit of FUD here and there, which makes me think important movers are loading for the next leg up. But we might see a few shake ups like we had yesterday to scare weak hands into giving up their crypto easier. I didn't buy more HIVE yesterday because I wasn't sure if it was the end of it. Looks like it was... for now.

Wow!! That's insane target.
But you seems to be a veteran in the field. 350post this year.. 🥂 I wrote about 20 last year and that got me rethinking my time here.
BTW how you are managing to find time and blog? Do you have a regular job or Hive is the Job?

Yeah, I'm a pretty consistent author, especially in recent years. Consistency goes a long way on Hive.

I've seen very busy people who post(ed) daily or almost daily on Hive. Other people give up very quickly, so I think it matters if someone considers that their posting routine is important or not.

I guess you are right. The target doesn't matter how absurd it may look. What matters is seriousness. I guess the question we should be asking is, are you really willing to go to the distance or is it just that lousy New Year's resolution thing?

You are inspiring.
Thank you. Looking forward to your next post.
