Compared to the world of stock traders I know, the response of the Hive community to the dominant bearish sentiment in global markets is so different. Instead of crying for huge losses, what I see is continuous development, expansion, and growth.

Last week, I got involved with two new promising gaming tokens: GLX and WOO.

Yesterday, I stumbled upon a community committed to precious metals, the Silver Gold Stackers community. As I explore the community and its members, my initial observation is that it is strong and vibrant.

Just this morning, I discovered another interesting Hive project, @reverio, "a question and answer platform."

These to me are all signs of life and growth. I wonder how many Hive projects are out there, which already exist waiting to be discovered. They are too many of them. And not to mention, those new ideas that will sooner or later will have a life of their own.

I remember one article I read a few days ago from u.today. The writer argues that blockchains that have a huge number of decentralized apps built on them will make it more difficult for regulators to lay their hands on them. And so I am happy to see a few years from now how the hundreds of dApps built on Hive will increase into thousands.

I think that's it for the introductory remarks. It's now time for me to share my weekly progress. One interesting development in my growth this week is the delegation of my Hive Engine tokens to farm lolz.

Allow me to start with my HIVE power:

My HP Growth

Date	Starting HP	Ending HP	HP Growth	% Growth	Cumulative % Growth
01 October	800	986	186	23.25%	23.25%
10 October	986	1,022	36	3.65%	27.75%
17 October	1,022	1,040	18	1.76%	30%
24 October	1,040	1,057	17	1.63%	32.12%
04 November	1,057	1,100	43	4.06%	37.50%
14 November	1,100	1,130	30	2.72%	41.25%
21 November	1,130	1,171	40	3.62%	46.37%

This week, I received the curation rewards from the two articles I submitted to Splinterlands. As a result, my Quora post received a total of $16.00 and my 31st Season post received $10.48. If you will break them down to HBD and HP, the first post received 4 HBD and 12.205 HP whereas the second post was rewarded with 2.622 HBD and 8.072 HP. I used all these HBD to buy HIVE but did not power them up. I am reserving my 94 liquid HIVE for the #PUM and #PUD participation.

Free HIVE from POSH

Date	Starting HIVE	Ending HIVE	HIVE Growth
24 September	0	3	3
03 October	3	5.204	2.204
10 October	5.204	6.766	1.562
17 October	6.766	8.433	1.667
24 October	8.433	12.893	4.46
03 November	12.893	17.244	4.351
14 November	14.244	19.269	5.025
21 November	19.269	19.944	0.675

I don't know what happened to free HIVE from POSH. Since 16 November, I no longer received free HIVE from POSH though I continue sharing posts on Twitter. That explains the small increase after a week. Perhaps, the distribution is over. I am still waiting for an announcement to know what happened.

As for my top eight Hive Engine tokens, here are the updates:

1 SME

Date	Starting SME	Ending SME	SME Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	201,080	207,182	6,102	3.03%	3.03%
03 October	207,182	212,488	5,306	2.56%	5.67%
10 October	212,488	221,797	9,309	4.38%	10.30%
17 October	221,797	222,897	1,100	0.49%	10.84%
24 October	222,897	241,057	18,160	8.14%	19.88%
04 November	241,057	268,325	27,268	11.31%	33.44%
14 November	268,325	277,952	9,627	3.58%	38.22%
21 November	277,952	293,382	15,430	5.55%	45.90%

SME provided me with 11.04 SWAP.HIVE this week after selling 4,483 for 0.000928 and 8,000 for 0.00086. In total, I sold 12,483 SMEs this week. If I did not do that, my growth this week would be higher than 5.55% and I would have reached that 300,000 mark. My goal is to reach 1M.

As mentioned above, another interesting development in my token activity this week is the delegation to lolz bots. Last night, I delegated 100,000 SMEs to @lolz.sme. I want to see how LOLZ farming works.

2 CENT

Date	Starting CENT	Ending CENT	CENT Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	20,186	20,343	157	0.77%	0.77%
03 October	20,343	20,540	197	0.96%	1.75%
10 October	20,540	20,921	381	1.85%	3.64%
17 October	20,921	21,419	498	2.38%	6.10%
24 October	21,419	21,959	540	2.52%	8.78%
04 November	21,959	22,991	1,032	4.69%	13.89%
14 November	22,991	23,457	466	2.02%	16.20%
21 November	23,457	24,160	703	2.99%	19.68%

Similar to SME, I also delegated 4,000 CENT to @lolz.cent.

3 CTP

Date	Starting CTP	Ending CTP	CTP Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	10,232	10,279	47	0.45%	0.45%
03 October	10,279	10,533	254	2.47%	2.94%
10 October	10,533	10,763	230	2.18%	5.18%
17 October	10,763	10,968	205	1.90%	7.19%
24 October	10,968	11,064	96	0.87%	8.13%
04 November	11,064	11,294	230	2.07%	10.37%
14 November	11,294	11,453	159	1.40%	11.93%
21 November	11,453	11,607	154	1.34%	13.43%

Out of the total 11,607 CTPs, 6,290 of them are staked on listnerds.com and 5,317 are staked on ctptalk.com. However, I also delegated 2,000 CTP to @lolz.ctp.

Seven days more and we will see that 28 November CTP "secret project." I am changing my goal from 40,000 to 60,000, staking 50% of that on each of the two platforms.

4 NEOXAG

Date	Starting NEOXAG	Ending NEOXAG	NEOXAG Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	41,989	42,013	24	N/A	N/A
03 October	42,013	43,736	1,723	4.10%	4.16%
10 October	43,736	47,163	3,427	7.83%	12.32%
17 October	47,163	48,275	1,112	2.35%	14.97%
24 October	48,275	48,389	114	0.23%	15.24%
04 November	48,389	48,625	236	0.48%	15.80%
14 November	48,625	48,766	141	0.28%	16.13%
21 November	48,766	48,919	153	0.31%	16.50%

1,081 more and I will reach 50% of 100,000 NEOXAG power. Moreover, I delegated 20,000 NEOXAG to @lolz.nxg.

5 LISTNERDS

Date	Starting LISTNERDS	Ending LISTNERDS	LISTNERDS Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	10,942	16,628	5,686	51.96%	51.96%
03 October	16,628	18,261	1,633	9.82%	66.88%
10 October	18,261	19,666	1,405	7.69%	79.72%
17 October	19,666	21,132	1,466	7.45%	93.12%
24 October	21,132	20,744	- 388	-1.83%	89.58%
04 November	20,744	23,769	3,025	14.58%	117.22%
14 November	23,769	23,897	128	0.53%	118.39%
21 November	23,897	24,105	208	0.87%	120.29%

There was no trading activity this week. My 1,000 buy order at 0.0029 is still not served. I also refused to sell LISTNERDS at its current asking price of 0.004050.

So far, the total quantity of LISTNERDS I have on Hive Engine is 1,983 and 22,122 staked LISTNERDS on listnerds.com.

6 SPT

Date	Starting SPT	Ending SPT	SPT Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
25 September	31,247	31,339	92	0.29%	0.29%
03 October	31,339	31,629	290	0.92%	1.22%
10 October	31,629	31,718	89	0.28%	1.50%
17 October	31,718	31,934	217	0.68%	2.19%
24 October	31,934	32,102	168	0.52%	2.73%
04 November	32,102	32,611	509	1.58%	4.36%
14 November	32,611	32,913	302	0.92%	5.33%
21 November	32,913	33,185	272	0.82%	6.20%

Nothing new here. As usual, the growth is slow. And so I decided to put my SPT power to more productive use by delegating 20,000 to @lolz.spt.

7 SPS

Date	Starting SPS	Ending SPS	SPS Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
17 October	2,000	2,104	104	5.2%	5.2%
24 October	2,104	2,177	73	3.46%	8.85%
04 November	2,177	2,221	44	2.02%	11.05%
14 November	2,221	2,247	26	1.17%	12.35%
21 November	2,247	2,301	54	2.40%	15.05%

Though my expectation of an SPS reward did not happen last season, I am grateful for the two Chaos Legion packs that I received. I am also thankful for my decision to join the Brawl I think two months ago. Now, in addition to merits, every Brawl participant will also receive SPS as part of the reward.

8 WOO

Date	Starting WOO	Ending WOO	WOO Growth	% Growth	Cumulative Growth
09 October	600	1,000	400	66.66%	66.66%
24 October	1,000	2,000	1,000	100 %	233.33%
09 November	2,000	2,182	182	9.10%	263.66%
14 November	2,182	5,026	2,844	130.33%	737.66%
21 November	5,026	6,091	1,065	21.18%	915.16%

In just a week, my WOO increased from 5,026 to 6,091. So far, I already received 200 staking rewards. I think by tomorrow I can claim another hundred and so that's a total of 300 WOO after more or less six weeks.

The third quarter of 2023 is still eight months away from us. That's the given tentative schedule for the release of the alpha game. I still have plenty of time to reach the 100,000 WOO power as my staking goal.

Thanks for your time and attention.

Grace and peace!
