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

Looks like tomorrow may finally be the day for Land 1.5... But, shhh! I said that before, and it wasn't... 😄

We may have to thank Binance and CZ for last week. On one side, Binance reached terms with various US agencies coming after them, and that is indirectly a temporary relief until Hive finally relies less heavily on its pairs on Binance.

Who knows, maybe Binance will be allowed back onto the North American market? Hard to say! In the end, this is higher than crypto, it's geopolitical positioning.

On the other hand, the short-lived crypto market tumble when the CZ and Binance news broke was necessary after a sustained rally. And a chance to "buy the dip", which I did, given that we're at the beginning of the bull market.

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

HIVE Power (HP) + HBD in Savings Main Goal

My staked HIVE reached 37,356 HP this week, 108 HP more than last week. I am on target with the PUM challenge for November. I decided to withdraw some of my HBD and purchase more HIVE with them. Still have 150 HBD in savings. However, since I haven't powered up the HIVE, they don't count for the totals.

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

At these prices, 1,558 more HBD-worth of HP and HBD are needed to complete the goal. If the price of HIVE goes up, this requirement goes down. It's interesting that compared to my price for last week HIVE didn't go down, but HBD went up (from 0.986), that's why my requirement in HBD went up (because you could buy less HBD with the same HIVE).

LEO Staked Main Goal

I staked 200 LEO this week and reached 21,500 LP. My power-up from this week is exactly what is needed to achieve my year-end target.

I currently need to stake 200 LEO weekly (same as last week) to reach the target by the year-end.

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 - Stage 1 Completed

• [COMPLETED] Deadline stage 1: June
• Deadline stage 2: extended to the end of 2023 (from the launch of Land 1.5, initially)
• Deadline stage 3: Postponed to 2024 (considered missed for 2023)

Target to consider the goal completed:

• stage 1: 1.2m DEC (COMPLETED)
• stage 2: 2.2 DEC (1m additional DEC)
• stage 3: 5 DEC (2.8m additional DEC)

Current situation: 1.516m DEC (liquid).

Note: I won't say anything else about tomorrow, let's see what happens...

New Land-Related Goal: Cards for Staking on Land Stage 2 Completed

^{The purpose of this goal is to build the amount of high PP 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:

• [COMPLETED] Stage 1: June 2023
• [COMPLETED] Stage 1.5: August/whenever Land 1.5 is launched
• Stage 2: 2024 (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 120 cards for land by the deadline (decreased from 220) COMPLETED
• stretch goal: have optimized cards for 24 plots COMPLETED
• stage 1.5: need 220 cards for land by the deadline COMPLETED
• 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; temporarily lowered the minimum to 800 PP. Will reduce it further for the initial stages of the gameplay of land.

Current situation total: 144 / 500 (28%), but counted at least 220

Current situation stage 2: 144 / 500

Time remaining until Stage 2 deadline: ?

Note: Mainly waiting for Land with this goal.

Note 2: I changed the deadline for stage 2 to 2024 (nothing more detailed yet).

Comments Made

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

I started this week with a total of 16605 comments made.

Ended the week with 16685 comments made, which brings the number of my comments during this week to 80, which is higher than my needed weekly average.

I now need an average of 63 comments weekly to reach the goal of 17k.

Weekly Buy - ON HOLD

Currently on hold. Waiting to see if I need a little push with my goals at the end of the year, and with which goals...
