My Hive Goals (Week 18, 2023)

I include a link to the initial goal-setting post for 2023, for reference, if needed.

Haven't been feeling well lately and I'm still struggling to get back at 100%, and in a way, I am grateful Leofinance provided me with topics for a few of the recent days because my level of focus and stamina throughout the day have suffered.

But I'm posting from PeakD today since the new Leofinance UI doesn't include support for tables for now and I need them for this weekly update.

Meme mania started again, which may represent a pretty good indicator that the market is ready to move back into a risk-on paradigm soon enough. The dip is even more welcomed, if that's the case.

Let's see what changed since last week regarding my Hive goals.

HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal

My staked HP is now 30,002, almost the same as last week. HBD savings level is now at 1000 HBD.

Here's what the evolution of the HP+HBD goal looks like:

^{I'll need to have one of the targets (HBD or HIVE) reached to consider this goal completed.}

^{If a target becomes too easy, I may increase the target, but not forever. Just like the market can play against your targets, they can play in their favor too.}

LEO Staked Main Goal

I only staked 50 LEO since last week, with the majority held liquid until LPUD.

After LPUD I will see where I stand for this month's 1k guideline and I can make some plans around it.

Splinterlands Land Expansion Main Focus

Land expansion's main focus extends throughout 2023. Unless I change the strategy, it will be the only main focus / main goal for Splinterlands in 2023. But there will be several 1-3 months goals.

First Land-Related Goal: DEC/DEC-B Saved - Completed

This goal is COMPLETED.

Deadline (passed): When DEC-B offer runs out, either because all were sold out or because the time limit was reached (April 9th).

Target to consider the goal completed: 1.5 mil. DEC-B saved. Done!

DEC Saved 2 Goal

Deadline stage 1: June (but sooner if possible).
Deadline stage 2: ?
Deadline stage 3: End of 2023?

Target to consider the goal completed:

• stage 1: 1.2m DEC
• stage 2 (will become DEC Saved 3 Goal): 2.2 DEC (1m additional DEC)
• stage 3 (will become DEC Saved 4 Goal): 5 DEC (2.8m additional DEC)

Current situation: 484k DEC (+16k).

Note: I finally made the decision to get out of DEC/SPS. It was a late decision (in fact, the decision to save in this pool was wrong, to begin with), but I'll own my mistake. Currently holding DEC liquid.

New Land-Related Goal: Maxed Cards for Staking on Land

Unless very cheap cards are on the market, this goal is on hold until I reach DEC Saved 2 Goal (stage 1).

^{The purpose of this goal is to build the amount of maxed-level cards I need for staking on my tract.}

^{We will need to fill 5 slots per plot with staked cards, without requiring summoners (that doesn't mean they can't be used as regular cards).}

So, what are the details of this goal?

Deadline:

• stage 1: June 2023
• stage 2: End of 2023 (this will be a new goal)

The total number of maxed-level* cards needed for staking on land: 500 (5 x 100).

• stage 1: need 220 cards for land by the deadline
  • stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots
• stage 2: have 500 cards for land
  • stretch goal: have optimized cards for 44 plots

(*) any card with at least 1000 PP suitable for the terrain types I own will do (better for better plots); doesn't have to be maxed

Current situation total: 117 / 500 (23.4%)

Current situation stage 1: 115 / 220

Time remaining until Stage 1 deadline: ~5 weeks

I could probably add some more cards from my deck if I'll need to (some are probably underutilized in my playing deck). New soulbound reward cards are options too.

Comments Made

Original goal: 18k, REDUCED to 17k, by the end of 2023.

I started this week with a total of 13563 comments made.

Ended the week with 13654 comments made, which brings the number of my comments this week to 91, closer to my weekly target.

I now need an average of 99 to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - EDS

A limit order got filled for EDS which is good. My target here is 100 tokens and I currently have some 78 EDS.
