When I started this year, I kept my goal of reaching the 50K HP, and with my recent delegation win of 2K HP in the HPUD, I actually have 50K HP staked for me. It is also true that this 2000 HP delegation will be withdrawn after June HPUD, but I guess, if I am able to power up in the HPUD of June, then I will be having my own stake of 50K HP even though the delegation is withdrawn. At present, my own HP is greater than 48,550 HP and I have 819 Hive as liquid Hive. I am confident that at June HPUD, I will be having more than 1000 Hive as liquid Hive. With my curation income is greater than 10 Hive per day and staking Apr at 4, I clearly see that my 48550 Hive will generate more than 14 HP per day and in next 17 days it will generate approx 240 HP. So without any additional effort, I see my HP at 48800 and with powering 1000 Hive it will become 49800. If I create some posts and add my pending rewards, having other 200 Hive power is not such a big deal and I clearly see myself at 50K HP of my own.
So, after reaching 50K HP, that was also my year end goal, what are my plan, Is I am creating a new goal of 60K HP? Actually, not, I will treat whatever I get on top of 50K HP as my achievement. My current work schedule, uncertainty in the IT job market, and specifically my job as I work in a non-AI division of a tech giant, which did the mass layoff of employees at 6 am in the morning, made me think of a strategy and pivot to a role that might align with a changed strategy in the IT landscape.
Also, the price graph of Hive does not look promising at all and I am not sure if there is mass usability of DHF-funded projects. Magi Networks project implementation looks like a step in the right direction but pool having HBD as "mandatory" pair and Hive-HBD pair having liquidity of 3500 HBD only started looking like a joke instead of a project for today and the future.
With all my time crunch, I never stopped playing Splinterland's and kept accumulating assets, but this Azircon post is making me wonder whether it is sustainable in the long run. Having a few of the platforms and games already closed in Hive, and overall sentiment on play2earn games not very encouraging, especially with the crypto dips.
Hoping for something promising to happen in the coming days, and going to remain optimistic and keep working till I hit all goals.
