Exceptional Week for My Hive Stretch Goals! (38, 2022)

This is a short sum-up table with the state of my goals in easier TLTR form. The table has only some information, so if you want details, they can be found in the post.

Last week I set a mini-goal to see if I could reach 20k HIVE Power by the end of September. The following day, after a moderate dip from the 55c levels to below 50c at the time of my purchase, I bought and powered up enough HIVE that I already reached that mini-goal.

My staking account has been growing quite aggressively during the last 30 days to meet my target, as the year closes to its end:

Changing the prefix of my HP is a significant milestone, some could say it's already a great accomplishment starting the year from roughly 12500 HP. But my aim remains 25k.

Slowly, the target of maxing my CL set may become more of a stretch goal than my HP goal. That's why I pushed some serious DEC into maxing out a few important cards this week. Details in the relevant section.

Let's see what changed since last week.

HIVE Power Goal

I added 1039 HP this week, mostly purchased on Monday. That brings my total HP above 20k, which was my mini-goal for September.

That also represents 9% toward achieving my yearly goal, which is exceptional for a week.

I still have HIVE (and HBD) in various liquid forms (or semi-liquid in the case of the HBD savings account), so it's likely some of them will contribute the outcome of this goal.

HBD Goal

I stopped this goal in favor of HIVE Power. Initially, the goal was to reach 5000 HBD in savings by the year-end, starting from almost nothing.

LEO Staked

This week I added 262 LEO to my stake. That's 3041 LEO more than when I started tracking this goal, 14 weeks ago.

94 LEO per week are currently needed to complete this goal by the year-end. I might increase this target if I reach it too soon. We'll see when we get there.

Splintershards (SPS) Staked Goal - Completed

The SPS staking goal is COMPLETED!

However, the new SPS rewards from ranked battles come in a staked form and will keep increasing the stake.

460 SPS were added last week this way.

Announcements from the team made me realize the more SPS the better, even above my goal. So I stopped using it to buy CL cards, at the time being.

I won't stake it though (for now). Besides what comes staked from the gameplay, SPS goes to the diesel pools.

Maxing Chaos Legion Set*

*) or reaching the limit beyond which I consider upgrading a card not profitable

The overall situation, to better gauge my progress, because I still need to push hard on this goal:

Total CL Cards (incl. reward)Maxed or LimitPercent
1327758.33%
Total CL Cards (excl. reward)Maxed or LimitPercent
995151.51%

This was the week when Conqueror Jacek was airdropped. Not much luck in the airdrop, which means I consumed quite serious amounts of DEC to max Jacek out.

Besides Jacek, I also maxed Xenith Monk, something I wanted to do for a long time.

And finally, I consider maxed another great card for low-mana games, Xenith Archer, plus Prismologist, because the price was good. Cards which I consider maxed out are not really maxed yet, but they have a high potential to be maxed even only by opening packs.

I'm still opening packs as I earn more alchemy and legendary potions.

Social Targets

I started the week with 9993 comments.

Increased target: 10k->12k comments by the year-end.

The 10K target for replies is COMPLETED and I won't increase it.

I have currently made 10113 comments, which means 120 comments this week. This is again lower than the average I need to complete this goal. I need to step up on my commenting.

With the new comments target, and 14 weeks left in 2022, I need an average of 135 comments per week to reach the goal.

It might be. Not to an SPS whale though. It's always about the perspective we look from.

Thanks Lisa! Goals posts can help indeed, both if you are writing them, and sometimes if you are reading them.

Nice progress on your goals and I think there is plenty of time to get enough comments for your goal. After all, it's something you can fully control.

That is true, but I need to dedicate more time to commenting.

Excellent advancement, Adrian.

I do struggle with HP and HBD in savings. I try to split it but often wonder if that is the best move.
I want to increase my HP to increase my curation, but 20% interest is tough to ignore.

I guess these are good problems to have, lol.

I love HBD too. The issue is, at these prices, you usually earn less HBD. That's why I keep my author rewards at 100% HP and I focus on HP only. When we get out of the bear market, I'll focus more on HBD.

Yeah, that makes sense,
Thanks as always for your insight.
