My 221st Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 35.4k HP Before End of Week, and My Hermes Agent Is Now Connected to Hive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 23, 2026

My last Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update can be found here. This goals-and-progress post serves as my weekly participation in the We Are Alive Tribe's Monday 'Share Your Goals and Progress' Challenge, and in the SlothBuzz's Slothly Savers Club.

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

NOTE: This report was published a day late, though all of the asset data was collected yesterday morning.

Welcome to my 221st Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update! Well, I blew past 35,300 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, which of course means that I'll easily exceed 35,400 Hive Power before the end of the week. With my upcoming HPUD powerup, I should come close to 35,500 Hive Power, a bit less than I expected by that point, but still quite good.

The most interesting news that I have to share is that yesterday my Hermes Agent successfully connected itself to Hive, and after several rounds of testing and tweaking, it can now carry out any transaction that a human user can, including token transactions. My intention with this is to have it assist me in the daily and weekly asset management on my own account, and on a host of 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts. There are so many possibilities here.

On Sunday I'll take Hermes on a walk through of my weekly asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, where it will basically shadow me as I describe what I'm doing and why, and hopefully we'll get to some pool management on my own account. There's some information that can be easily relayed with text, while other tasks require a more demonstrative means of explanation.

Aside from that, on the 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset-management front, I swapped the last 4+ HBD on @aliveandthriving for 103+ HIVE, which was immediately staked and delegated to Bradley (@bradleyarrow), which brought our HP delegation to him, and the resulting daily HIVE payout, very close to the level on my own account. That's very good, and I still have a long way to go.

I think that's about all to share from last week, which means that it's time to hop into assessing the numbers from last week, to see how I really did. Tallyho we go!

My Hivebuzz Ranking

Today/Last Sunday

560/554 for HP - ⬇️ 6 places from last week

1303/1319 Reputation - ⬆️ 16 places from last week

Over the past week I gained 181.003 Hive Power, and +0.04 Reputation Points, which means that I've surpassed my first 2026 year-end goal of 25,000 HP by 10,292.01 HP, and that I now have 4,707.99 HP to go to reach my new year-end goal of 40,000 Hive Power. HP rarely seems to grow as quickly as I predict over the span of a month or more, even with what I have now, though it's not hugely far off at least.

In terms of my HiveBuzz rankings, I dropped -6 places for HP, and I leaped +16 places for Reputation, so a very bipolar week indeed on this front. Even with how many people are powering down huge amounts of HP, it's interesting that I'm actually falling in my HP ranking. Very curious indeed.

That's a wrap for now, my friends, and remember this, regardless of Hive's current state and situation, that there are always ways to thrive! May our investments within the Hive blockchain ecosystem exceed our wildest hopes and expectations! Until next week!

That brings me to the end of my 221st Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update! As always, I truly hope that this update was interesting, educational, motivating, and inspiring, and remember, whatever I've achieved on Hive, you can do it too! Now on to another glorious week of building, growing, and saving, on our badass, bodacious, and beloved Blockchain! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!

Join the worldwide Satsman Army! It's by far the best, most fun, inspiring, and motivating way to earn Bitcoin/BTC!
