My BusyBees & SlothlySavers Weekly Update - 2026 Week 45

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 ?

I'm a day late posting this, but for good reason. I spent yesterday at the annual conference run by #together, a UK organisation dedicated to fighting government overreach, the surveillance state and threats to democracy. They have a strong focus on fighting the deliberate fragmentation of society by powers that want us squabbling among themselves to stop us noticing what they are up to. It was a very interesting conference with some great speakers, but we did get back pretty late !

Last week was pretty busy in terms of work, so I managed to keep my posting and curation rates up but slipped somewhat in terms of engagement. It'll be interesting to see the impact on earnings. Last week's earnings were 180 HIVE/HP, so pretty good.

The other big change from last week was that we had HPUD, and I powered up 1000 of my liquid HIVE. Sooner or later I'm going to run out of liquid and will have to rely on actually earning the stuff. The current trajectory is still based on HIVE bought when I converted most of my HBD, and will slow down when that runs out. I'm still likely to be over 100 before I hit orca 😁

The price of HIVE has dipped again, but not as badly as BTC, so I count that as a win. Gold and silver have come up slightly. But what I like most is that while Hive Debt has come up a bit, it's not as bad as I expected with the price dip. It makes me wonder if somehow, we are starting to get a handle on some of the worst excesses that cause inflation.

So that's it for this week.... have a good one, everyone !
