My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 18

The #SaturdaySavers programme run with huge dedication and commitment by @shanibeer came to an end with the close of 2025.

But there are a couple of initiatives to keep the motivation going !

I've decided to post them in the BusyBees Community. This is a community set up to support @zakludick's tireless work in encouraging and teaching newer Hive users. Additionally, I'm adding the #SlothlySavers tag and linking my updates in their weekly update post, because that's another place where former #SaturdaySavers are gravitating to.

Here's a screenshot of last week's progress;

How Did The Week Go ?

It was a good week in terms of earnings, with an overall gain of 158 HIVE and HP combined. Working to try to post a bit more often is definitely paying dividends. But I'm still aiming to create good quality content rather than any old content, and I think that's the right strategy.

Although my comment numbers are down slightly, I'm still over the goal. The key thing, again, is to make worthwhile comments rather than just any comment. Again, this is reflected both in earnings and in my reputation score (which is admittedly purely a vanity metric !)

I should see my HBD interest arrive in a couple of days, although this will be lower due to the drop in interest rates. Despite the effect on my personal earnings, I think the reduced interest rate is still a good thing for Hive as a whole. It reflects the fact that we're serious about getting the Hive interest rate under control. All we have to do now is improve our governance and the way the DHF works !

One other thing I did yesterday was power up 1000HP for Hive Power Up Day. With HIVE still being cheap (although the price seems to have stabilised for now), it's a good time to build up the stack. I still think I'll be a centenarian before I get to be an Orca though !
