SEED to HBD and HIVE * My Hive Goals (Week 16, 2023)

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

Current State/Other Selection Criterion	Goals Matching the Criterion
Ongoing	5 (HP + HBD Savings, LEO Staked, Comments Made, DEC Saved 2, Maxed Cards for Staking on Land)
Completed Main Goals	0
Completed Goals	1 (DEC-B Saved)
Main goals	3 (HP + HBD Savings, LEO Staked, Comments Made)

New Goals	2 (Maxed Cards for Staking on Land, DEC Saved 2)
Increased Goals	3 (HBD target for HP+HBD Main Goal - twice, DEC-B Saved)
Decreased Goals	1 (Comments Made)

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

This week we received the sad news that the SEED project is closing down. While I liked the project for investing in parts of the crypto-verse where I didn't venture, its closing (with a refund) freed up some stablecoins for me. And those HBD went about half into savings and the other half kept liquid for a short while. Today I decided to buy more HIVE with it, even though we might see lower prices before it turns.

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

HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal

My staked HP slowly increased to 28470 HP this week. HBD savings increased to 1200 HBD, after the deposit from the SEED refund, as I mentioned at the beginning.

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 staked 263 LEO since last week.

With a week until the end of the month situation, I need another 263 LEO staked to meet the guideline for April. Funny how I staked exactly the same amount last week. At first, I thought it was a mistake, but nope, it is just a coincidence.

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: 222k DEC (x2) in diesel pools (+9k).

Note: these DEC targets may be lowered without affecting my intention to optimize plots to the best of my abilities since I initially thought of using only maxed-level CL cards on land because of the accessible price but older cards may be used at comparable or better PP without being maxed out, which reduces the need of staked DEC. I'll take a decision soon if I want to change the DEC target for June based on this new situation.

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: End of 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%)

Note: +5 Beta cards to the mix for now (not all maxed, but with great PP)

Current situation stage 1: 60 / 220 (ongoing evaluation, more cards need to be assigned to plots)

Time remaining until Stage 1 deadline: ~7 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 13383 comments made.

Ended the week with 13477 comments made, which brings the number of my comments this week to 94, closer to my weekly target.

I now need an average of 98 to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Task - Buy EDS

I continued my plan from last week to put some immediate gaming gains into EDS, which in turn should generate more HIVE.
