My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 44

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 the week of the Full Moon, and the week Binance were hacked for billions. That made for a certain amount of volatility in crypto markets, but HIVE seems to have emerged virtually unscathed.

HBD is all over the place on external exchanges, so I've used the internal figure from Hivedex divided by the GBP/USD exchange rate, rather than my usual method of using Coin Gecko's figure.

My Hive earnings were 112 HIVE & HP combined, which is roughly where I'd expect it to be. Tomorrow is HPUD, and I'm planning to convert a bunch more liquid HIVE into HP, which should help improve my account value.

In the wider world, most classes of asset other than government bond yields continue to drop. Gold and silver are particularly hard hit, and I'm starting to wonder how close we are to the bottom. It's tempting to buy some !

So that's it for now. Happy Halloween, and happy HPUD for tomorrow 😁
