Seems like BTC has so life! And it's pulled Hive with it. Will it keep going up or return to where it was resting before? Interesting times!

Otherwise it was also a pretty good week. I made some moves to acquire some more Hive. My attention is there right now but I did also make a few plays in H-E tokens. Let's take a look!

Hive & HBD

My current goal is 25k Hive. This past week I made 70.520, bringing me to 10,648.99 total Hive Power. That's 42.6% of my goal! Only 70 may not seem like much compared with the 14,351.01 I need to get up to 25k, but I'm making steps to get there.

I withdrew the last of my HBD savings and converted it to Hive right before the current pump. On one hand I really hate to do that and lose the 20% HBD interest. On the other hand, this is a really great price to buy Hive if you believe in it (and I do), and the other things having a lot of HP gives—such as higher income from curation, ability to reward others more, more influence in the platform, more visibility—are in many ways much better than the HBD interest.

That said, I didn't power it up yet. So if the price of Hive keeps going up, I may swap a little back to lock in some of those gains. I'll be leaving it liquid at least until the next Hive Power-Up Day, so we'll see what happens before then.

BRO

My goal here is 500 BRO. But I'm really not focused on it right now and am making so little from the various drips that it's almost not worth mentioning. Last week I earned 0.017, which puts me at 450.118 total or 90.0% of my goal.

Yeah, see... not too much. The price of BRO just keeps going up and with my new focus on Hive itself, I don't feel compelled to chase the price. I am still watching and if it falls I'll buy more, but as is I'm just collecting the drips.

PIMP

My goal with PIMP is all the PIMP. But just to pick a number for achievement motivation purposes, my current goal is 50k PIMP. I made 233.965 PIMP last week, putting me at 43,411.0867 — 86.8% of my goal.

PIMP is really getting exciting behind the scenes. A lot of projects are starting to pitch to PIMP and their influence is growing. If you want to get involved, come join our pimp meeting, held every Wednesday at 2pm UTC in the Alliance discord. Last week we got a great pitch from Woo, which is looking better than ever. And the week before we got an equally great pitch from Eco about Income and his other projects.

Speaking of which...

Income

I picked up 11.1 INCOME last week. If you've been around Hive for awhile you probably know Eco is a pretty bright guy and has a lot of great ideas. So with Income I am more investing in him than in his project. Unless my math is way off, I've already had an 6% return on my investment, adding up both the dividends he pays and the post upvotes he gives holders. That's pretty good!

I'll definitely be picking up more as I can. I suggest you do too!

And forward we go! It was a strong week. Let's see how this coming one goes!
