My 60th HIVE Power Up Day ⚡🔋— October in WOO: New Cards New Challenges and a Busy Battle Pass

HELLO November 2026!

It's the 1st day of the month and that means it's HIVE Power Up Day again! 🎉🚀 Just like that, THE FIRST 10 MONTHS of the year of 2026 has gone past us already! 😱⌛️

October was a disappointing month for crypto investors. After two fairly positive months, the market finally ran out of steam, and most major coins ended up giving back some of their earlier gains. Bitcoin started October around US$83,600 and briefly climbed above US$87,000 before losing ground in the second half of the month and eventually closed around US$77,400.

What about our very own HIVE? HIVE had a fairly difficult October as well. We started the month around US$0.0566 and ended near US$0.0470. It briefly traded close to US$0.059 in the first week before gradually losing ground. The decline was broadly in line with the weakness seen across the wider altcoin market, although it is never particularly encouraging to see the token give up so much ground in a single month.

Regardless, I still remain bullish on the long term future of BTC and HIVE. Is this the last opportunity to accumulate more at current prices before it moons beyond no return? Who knows? I believe in the long term and will stick to my regular DCA regardless. 😜📈🚀

Another month in this year has gone by in a flash! I've joined HIVE since November 2021 and I'm still learning so many new things everyday! I first heard of Hive Power Up Day in January 2022 and all its other acronyms (PUD, PUM, PUH 😂 what a mouthful) and I've participated in HPUD every month since then!

• I've attained yet another PUM badge for the month! 📅🥳 (at least 1 post/powerup everyday!).

_{Ever since I started with the HPUM initiative in 2022, I've tried my best to faithfully make one blog post everyday in an attempt to get the Hive Power Up Month badge. I've managed to make it successfully for 9 out of 12 months in 2022, and then improved on it in 2023 with 10 out of 12 months! 2024 saw a similar 10/12 but I managed to improve it to an almost perfect 11/12 in 2025! (Yikes! So near yet so far 😂) I will be attempting to get as many as I can again (perhaps a perfect score?) in 2026! 🥳💯}

Another successful month of making at least ONE post a day with 100% to HIVE powered up (or powering up 1 HIVE). 🥳

This makes it 8 months (thus far) where I managed this achievement IN THIS NEW year of 2026.

Blogging regularly and having the HPUM to incentivize me has other tangible benefits too! I've seen my Hive Power grow quite a fair bit. This seems like a good practice which I intend to continue keeping up with!

In my VERY FIRST month before before I ever heard about Hive Power Up Day/Month, I was at just 47 HP 😭 (Before Jan 1st 2022).

---

This month, before I've even powered up anything at all, I'm already at 27,231.745 HP! 🎉🎉🎉

That's how consistent blogging on HIVE, with (mostly) 100% allocated to Hive Power, improved my HIVE account!

And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! ⚡️💪 (1st NOVEMBER 2026)

Once again, I only have enough HIVE set aside for a 10HP powerup, but I'm sure with my continued efforts to blog with 100% powered up to HIVE, I will be able to grow my Hive Power even more!

Using https://hivestats.io/, I was able to pull out a chart showing my daily account growth for the past month too. Great to see that orange graph head upwards continually 📈😄! If only my stocks portfolio and the price of HIVE looked like that too 😂🤑.

As always, I usually make just the minimum powerup of 10 HIVE. This is because there are so many projects that I'm now invested in. The HIVE ecosystem is so much bigger than what I had thought it was when I first joined. I believe my constant allocation of most of my daily posts being 100% powered up is sufficient to grow my Hive Power daily. The rest of any funds from HIVE will usually be kept for other projects that are of interest to me (on HIVE of course 😁).

As always, I'll like to explain that the reason why I do not powerup every single bit of HIVE/HBD I get every month from my blogging is because I like to keep some liquidity around to invest in HIVE projects that I feel have some potential.

It is no secret by now that quite a bit of my extra funds lying around HIVE has been channelled into the Wrestling Organization Online aka WOO project! 🤑

After months of talking about WOO during my HPUD posts, I am glad to say that WOO has FINALLY launched the game proper! All players can use their WOO assets, play the game, and earn $WOO tokens. The game has not yet exploded in terms of player numbers since it is so new, but there are already launch campaigns to give it the boost it needs!

October brought plenty for WOO players to look forward to, especially with the WOO BETA sale and the details surrounding it. The sale introduced 150,000 packs, with each pack containing five cards and priced at $2. There are 60 different Beta talents to collect, giving players something new to chase as they build their collections. We also looked at the bonus for buying packs with $WOO, what happens to unsold packs when the 90-day sale ends, and the improvements being made to the Store, Marketplace and Collection. It is an important step for WOO as the game continues to build out its card ecosystem.

The other big focus this month was October Onslaught, a 100-level Battle Pass packed with Gym Bags, Jobber Packs, WOO and WOOBucks. There was plenty to work through with the daily and weekly quests, while the later levels offered extra rewards for those willing to keep pushing towards the finish line on October 28. We also spent some time looking at the quieter side of WOO, sharing a few thoughts on why there might not always be activities or events happening over the weekend. Even when things seem quiet, there is still progress to make in the game, rewards to work towards and plenty to keep an eye on as WOO moves forward.

I'll see you all again during the next Power Up Day next month with another update! Till then, See you and WAGMI! 💎🙌🏻🦍💪🏻
