My Long-Term Strategy on Hive: HP, BEE, and Delegations
📊 Update on My Curation, Leasing, and Development Activities on Hive
A Necessary Break to Restore My Voting Mana
During the day, I had to temporarily pause my curation activities for approximately five hours in order to allow my Voting Mana to gradually recover to 100%.
For several days, my Voting Mana had been steadily decreasing and eventually fell below the 95% mark. This decline is not particularly concerning when it only happens occasionally, but it can become problematic if it continues regularly over a long period of time.
If the mana keeps decreasing day after day, it can gradually fall below 90%, then 85%, and potentially even lower. In that situation, the effective value of my votes also decreases, as does my ability to properly support content creators on Hive.
However, this situation also shows me something important: many users with a good reputation are publishing particularly detailed articles, often exceeding 500 words. These posts generally require more curation resources, especially when they are well structured, thoroughly developed, and accompanied by several images or additional pieces of information.
Curation is therefore not simply about distributing votes randomly. It is also important to manage Voting Mana correctly, spread votes over time, and maintain a balance between voting frequency and voting effectiveness.
Why I Do Not Reduce My Voting Percentage Any Further
One possible solution would be to reduce my voting percentage even further in order to preserve my Voting Mana for a longer period of time.
However, my votes are already set at approximately 3.5%. At this level, they mainly serve to show the author that their content has been noticed and appreciated. It is my way of saying: “I saw your post, and your work deserves support.”
Reducing the percentage any further would make my votes much less meaningful. With the current amount of Hive Power that I personally own, a lower vote would have a very limited impact and would no longer represent truly significant financial support for content creators.
I therefore prefer to maintain a reasonable voting percentage, even if this sometimes forces me to slow down my curation activities for a few hours. This allows me to continue voting regularly while trying to preserve a certain level of value for each vote.
The goal is not simply to vote as often as possible, but rather to build a sustainable and consistent curation strategy over time.
📈 My Main Goal: Reaching 20,000 HP
Speaking of Hive Power, I am still pursuing my personal goal of gradually reaching 20,000 HP on my main account.
To continue growing my account, I also maintain a leasing activity with an indicated return of approximately 8.21% APR on Hive-Engine.
The platform can be accessed here:
🔗 https://hive-engine.com/lease
Leasing is an interesting strategy for putting part of one’s assets to work while allowing other users to access additional voting power. In my case, it enables me to continue gradually building my influence on Hive and, eventually, to increase my curation capacity.
Reaching 20,000 HP will not be an easy task. It is an ambitious goal that will require time, consistency, and a great deal of patience. Nevertheless, every bit of progress matters.
Even a small daily increase can lead to significant results in the long term. Curation rewards, income generated through various activities, and possible reinvestments all help the account grow gradually.
I am not trying to reach this goal within a few days. My approach is to build steady, stable, and sustainable growth over time.
🐝 Developing the @benef.tribes Account
Alongside my main account, I am also continuing to develop @benef.tribes.
The goal of this account is to gradually accumulate BEE, both through curation activities and through the different opportunities available within the Hive-Engine ecosystem.
In the long term, I would like to accumulate approximately 5,000 liquid BEE, which will be used to improve my GLYPH token, a project that is still active and continuing to develop.
Accumulating BEE also takes time. It is necessary to remain active, monitor market developments, understand the reward mechanisms, and avoid making rushed decisions.
The objective is not only to accumulate tokens, but also to better understand their purpose and how they can contribute to the development of an account or a community project.
An Incoming Delegation of 5,000 BEE
In addition to accumulating liquid BEE, I would also like to reach an incoming delegation of 5,000 BEE on the @benef.tribes account.
This delegation would increase the account’s possibilities and strengthen its influence within the ecosystem. It could also help generate additional rewards and provide more effective support to the users and projects involved.
For those who would like to better understand how BEE works and the different ways of earning them, I previously published an article dedicated to this subject:
🔗 https://peakd.com/leofinance/@we-are-ai/-how-can-you-earn-bee-2sd
As you can see, I am currently the main contributor in terms of delegation on this account. I also continue to send additional delegations regularly in order to gradually increase its capacity and contribute to its development.
This approach represents a long-term investment. The results are not always immediate, but every delegation helps strengthen the account and brings the project closer to its objectives.
Additional Support from @benef.alive
The @benef.alive account also contributes to this strategy whenever possible.
Its activities include trading and staking several tokens, including:
- ALIVE;
- HEARTBEAT;
- PEPE.
The income generated from these activities can then be used to gradually strengthen the different projects or participate in additional delegations.
Of course, these activities depend on the opportunities available and on market conditions. It is therefore important to remain cautious, avoid investing more than one can afford to lose, and maintain a long-term perspective.
The main objective is to ensure that the accounts continue to grow steadily without taking disproportionate risks.
Thank You to Everyone Supporting the Project
I would also like to sincerely thank @sprstoner and @valentin86 for their support.
Together, they have delegated a total of 500 BEE, which represents valuable assistance in the development of @benef.tribes.
Delegations help strengthen an account’s power, but they also represent a sign of trust. This is why I would like to thank everyone who takes part in the project, whether through a delegation, a vote, a comment, a share, or simply by following its progress.
Every contribution matters.
I will make additional delegation offers available once the current ones have been taken. This will allow me to gradually increase the incoming delegation while giving the first participants time to benefit from their position.
Progress Based on Patience and Consistency
Developing these accounts takes time. Whether the goal is to reach 20,000 HP, accumulate 5,000 liquid BEE, or obtain an incoming delegation of 5,000 BEE, none of these objectives will be achieved overnight.
Progress is mainly based on several key elements:
- regular curation activity;
- proper Voting Mana management;
- the gradual accumulation of rewards;
- leasing and delegations;
- reinvesting part of the income generated;
- monitoring the various opportunities available on Hive-Engine;
- patience and consistency.
Even when the results appear modest, the work continues. A small increase in HP, a few additional BEE accumulated, or a new delegation may not seem particularly important on its own. However, these elements can make a real difference when they are repeated every day.
It is this long-term vision that motivates me to continue my efforts.
Conclusion
To summarize, I had to suspend my curation activities for approximately five hours in order to restore my Voting Mana, which had gradually fallen below 95%. This break was necessary to prevent a continued decline in my voting effectiveness.
I am also continuing to work toward several important objectives:
- gradually reaching 20,000 personal HP;
- maintaining my leasing activity;
- developing the @benef.tribes account;
- accumulating up to 5,000 liquid BEE;
- reaching an incoming delegation of 5,000 BEE;
- continuing to use @benef.alive to support the different projects through its trading and staking activities.
The road ahead is still long, but progress is definitely being made. Every day brings a new step forward, and every form of support helps me move closer to my goals.
Thank you to everyone who follows my activities, places their trust in me, and contributes to the development of these projects on Hive and LeoFinance.
See you soon for another update! 🚀
