#MyHiveGoals - Another Step Back...
This is the first time I've been through a bear market and I've had to rely on my crypto earnings to live....
And that sadly means, when income isn't what you expected we need to look for other ways to support our families.
Which means for me, selling #Splinterlands and Hive assets.
And I hate it....
Like, another level of frustration but I'm grateful to have this stockpile to help see us through the challenges of the market.
As you will see, I had to power down again this week which was never in my plans, and I hope things turn around because I want to keep working hard here on chain and providing for my family through my efforts here.
Here's hoping this is a very brief power down...
Regardless, I'm still showing up. Stick stacking some assets. And still looking toward the future even if I took a step back this week...
150,000 Hive Power
Looks good right? Next week will see a big power down...
150,000 - 116,262.96 = 33,707.04 left to go
So the road to 150k Hive Power will take a big hit over the next few weeks...
No plans on stopping though! Still showing up...Every single day!
40,000 LEO & 1,000,000 SPT
Nice week on LEO though!
40,000 - 31,667.66 = 8,332.34 left to go
Leo Voter continues to provide liquid LEO for me, each day. Without even thinking about it :)
We're down to only a few short weeks left in the SPS air drop...
1,000,000 - 776,858.16 = 223,141.84 left to go
Which will determine how much the community values SPT...
Will there be a sell off? Or does the #Splinterlands team have more plans for the token?
Dollar Cost Average Into Hive Engine Projects
With the need for me to get liquid in able to support my family this month, I've really toned down my daily purchases...Which kind of goes against the whole 'dollar cost averaging' idea huh?
Regardless, I still added some to my pot :)
30 INDEX
5 WORKERBEE
And after this week's buys I'm at....
11,975 @he-index
6150 WORKERBEE
No excuses...
These are still fantastic tools to generate income, even if it's slowly but surely :)

It must be difficult when the market isn't good. But what impresses me is that you are able to support your family from Hive. As someone who is just beginning his journey on Hive and still has doubts about crypto, I find that very encouraging. Hopefully the market will pick up soon.
Yeah it was 4 plus years of just building...And I am very grateful that I'm in a position to do it. I just wanted to eventually never dip into Hive Power, and just live off the activities I do here.
!CTP
that's why is crucial to sell stuff in the bull market because selling when prices are down is double painful. On the bright side you can always earn it back :)
Yup, thankfully this blockchain allows you to build back stronger :)
!CTP
It's crazy to have to halt your building to take care of an emergency in real-time. It's the same with me at the moment but I guess it'll only take a longer time to achieve your goal and nothing else. Cheers!

Yeah and I'm in no rush. Plus being here for the long run, I can build back!
!CTP
Things don't always go our way, sadly... and down markets can be tough; I don't envy you trying to live wholly off your crypto endeavors.
We're grateful we have several other projects going, and the modest liquid rewards we get only represent a smallish slice of our made side gigs.
Great to see the HivePay Swap utility back online!
=^..^=
Yeah, that was a much needed boost lol Good to see Hive Pay back :)
!CTP
I am hopeful that you will overcome this time strongly.

Appreciated! Oh it's just a small misstep. Moving forward :)

Feeling sorry for your situation. It's good to find a part time job while keep building your crypto portfolios.

Yeah looks like I'll be working out of town for the next few weeks to get things back to normal. Bear markets suck lol
!CTP
Well, some things never act according to plan and it sucks that you have to power down or sell assets. It will take more time but I do believe that you will be able to build back those sold assets and continue building.

Hopefully thing improve, just got hit with another doozy today but alas...We keep moving forward.
!CTP
I feel your pain. Been there. And like you said, still showing up every day.
That is why we have our 'pots' when we need them. 😀

@jongolson! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @bradleyarrow. (11/30)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.
Very true.
The pot is shrinking though, I hate it lol
!CTP
Because this is such an awesome post, here is a BBH Tip for you. . Keep up the fantastic work
Fingers crossed that we're done with the worst of the bear market. 20k seems like good BTC support at the moment.
Bear market, life...Can't control it, just gotta move forward.
!CTP
Hi man, hope the markets turn around soon and that you don't have to power down hive. It definitely sucks but sometimes there is no other way around it...
Sucks man, just the worst timing for everything. But thankful for Hive. Allows me to keep showing up!

I just think it’s super cool you have so much saved up from showing up every single day for years.

It's a safety net for my family for sure. I would have really liked to earn a living off of my efforts though before dipping into it.

It sucks to damage our bags when the market makes us do it, pains to read this but at the same time, our assets are there to solve our issues and hopefully you recover from this step-back mate! Those are still solid goals and if you continue building on Hive the way you do, you will eventually reach your goals with no issue.
That being said, we noticed that you powered up some LEO tokens in June 15, thanks for joining LPUD and helping the LeoFinance community grow stronger!
Just dropping by to let you know that the second edition is just around the corner, hopefully you'll join once again even at the expense of your post rewards, we understand you are going trough a tough spot right now.
This Leo Power Up Day is special because it's part of the LeoFinance & Blocktrades HiveFest contest and if you join this LPUD, you'll be one step closer to winning one ticket with accommodation included to attend HiveFest!
Hopefully you'll join us!

This happens. It is sad, and it is a matter of priorities (food, family, etc.). I am however confident that you will recover in no time (when this bear market will be over, god knows when)!
Your a walking use case for using crypto. Earning and spending all while building. Great example.
Carry on!
