gm frens, I hope you're having a wonderful Sunday
Quick quarterly update on my long-term BHAG for my Hive power. Today is day #773 on my 2671 day jive to 200K Hive Power, a journey I started on September 10th, 2022 and the plan is to have reached 200,000 Hive Power by October 2029 or around 236,530 Hive Power on December 31, 2029. That's a total of 2671 days of which I've completed 773, that's 28.94% of the way with about -9.30% variation from my target, a bit wider spread than I was hoping for, but no worries!
| Date | HP Goal | Actual HP | variation % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 Oct '24 | 60,623 | 54,985 | -9.30% |
Ups and downs happen, but long-termers know that a large part of finishing a marathon is the mind-game. You'll face moments of lower motivation, and even voices in your head (figuratively speaking) telling you to quit! but if you manage to stay consistent, you'll be able to reach ANY goal you set yourself.
I'm my case, it's a 2671 journey towards accumulating 236,520 Hive Power on December 31st 2029. That way, on Jan 1st 2030 - a nice round number I think - I can review where I stand on my life goals.
In the case of #freedomtools goals, I intend to have some stake in what I consider to be a super useful protocol that will allow me to continue communicating and transacting regardless of political or economic situations.
With 236,520 HP I'd hopefully still be around the top 100 - 300 or so Hiveans by Hive Power and could work together with other hardcore, mid-sized hiveans to participate in governance of the blockchain, not to mention be generating around $5 or 6K per month (assuming a $5 $HIVE which I think is a possibility) which I can use to buy food and pay for services at places that accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment. I expect there to be many more in 2030.
I haven't had much expendable fiat these past couple of months to buy $HIVE at discounted prices on exchanges, otherwise I might have been able to close the gap a little bit, but I think I might be able to exchange my knowledge for cryptocurrency, in other words: pick up some crypto-friendly clients in the coming months, and maybe have some available stables to convert to HIVE.
These are the milestones and results since I started my journey. Will I reach Orca status this year? haha. If I stretch my arm, I can almost touch it with the tips of my fingers, but I don't know if it will happen in 2024. 2025 for sure.

In the meantime, I'll focus in one day at a time, always thinking of ways to add value to fellow hiveans and receive value in return; peer-to-peer, value-for-value.
I'll also be manually curating authors that create content that is
- Valuable to the ecosystem
- Interesting/valuable to me
- From users who are valuable to the community
- Shows effort
- Original
The posts I vote on don't have to meet all criteria; just any one of the ones listed above with the highest weight given to the first category.
Stay amazing fellow freedomnauts! I wish you a great journey to independance.
