31,000 Hive Powered Up! @molometer
You may be wondering why I Powered Up another 31,000 Hive this week when many people seem to be doing the opposite.
The simple answer is that it took me over 8 years to get to dolphin rank just by posting and commenting on peoples posts.
In those years I managed to accumulate a few thousand HBD when hive was between a $1.00 to $0.30 per token.
At these current prices I have leapt from dolphin to Orca in two trades of HBD to hive. In fact I'd already hit Orca on my first trade about 10 days ago.
The second trade was a no brainer. I don't really want the chain to be in debt and that is what HBD represents.
31,000 powered up @molometer
Another thing that I noticed is that my curation rewards began increasing. See above.
No more HBD staking
I won't be staking any HBD until the debt burden drops. The chain has stopped issuing HBD for the time being anyway so why hold it when the peg is flailing around.
To a new person coming to Hive this may seem like an impossible thing to do but take a look at my blog.
There were years where I didn't earn a bean but it was never about money for me. It was about stability in a fast moving technological landscape and I've met some incredible people.
I think I got one whale vote in the entire time I've been here. I did get a lot of support eventually from some dolphins and orcas.
93,000 Hive Power
So what does it mean?
Below you can see my stats including my vote strength and my ke number.
If you have a ke number above 1 it means that you have withdrawn some of your stake or earnings. Some people get all bent out of shape if they find an account with a high ke.
Which is kinda weird considering that this chain was always marketed as a place to earn money?
Of course a high ke number can also expose the rampant extractors and it does but that's another blog for someone else to write. I try to avoid onchain drama.
There's an old saying.
"Buy when there is blood in the streets"
The above means people are panic selling.
My saying is this.
"Buy when there is no one in the streets"
The above means people have lost all hope and are apathetic.
There is a lot of apathy around at the moment and Hive is on at fire sale prices..
**Did I call the bottom? **
I don't know and I don't really care. I'm looking forward whilst other's look back.
Onwards and sideways to the future. 🤔😂👍
This is my first post on @ecency for a long time. I think I've got my head around the ui ok although it took me ages to find my vote power thing. 😂👍
I'm enjoying this new ui version and will be posting more here.
My replies are not showing now? Except this one lol on @ecency that is.
Update. The hidden comments is not a bug it's a feature.
Everything is working as intended.👍
Wonderful news friend! Proud of you!
Hi @lydon.sipe long time no see buddy. I took over a year off with life events and came back about 12 days ago.
When I saw the hive price 0.0417 and lower I dived right in 😂👍
Good to hear from you.
Edit typo

Will do. I think some of them are sick of insta book etc. We'll see. 👍
Ecency profile page has lots of great posts for new accounts!
super cool. I was looking at how low hive is and thinking maaan i wish i had some hbd to swap! becoming an orca is definitely a moment.....congratulations!
oh wait, i had 3.5 hbd. thats like 80 hive right now!
Better be quick it's rising again...might hit 4 cents 😂👍
Thanks Basil, it was a long time coming but luckily I'd been stashing the hbd for years.
At the current prices it made perfect sense to power it all up.
I have no plans to cash out so onwards and sideways lol
Hey Baz! It would be great to hear more about what you are up to. I think @stav has been in your neighbourhood lately.
bought a live-in van for travelling about with the family, been doing a few camping events and community paintings, working on a halloween show and generally being ruled by chaos (and a toddler).
how about you? Hows things?
That sounds like fun. Small kids really change your life. Seems a long time ago for us.
I'm still running and making music. Doing a few gigs with the jazz band. Enjoying life.
Yes, Ive been pumping mine up too, I hope were not doing dumb things.. this time Im not so sure.
You know the saying?
If you haven't lost money in crypto. You're not in crypto.
😂😂👍
Yes.., I started with BitConnect.., hey, hey, hey.. 😃..
Snap me too, now that was a classic 😩😂👍
HAHAHAHA That's true.
Tasty! Very nice, almost up to that 100K!
The way my curation rewards have jumped up I'll be there in short order.
I went from 1% to like 3+% overnight?
Excellent work crushing the daily Ecency leaderboard quest, @molometer! Incredible strategy and commitment to reaching Orca status through patience and smart trading.
Tipped with Ecency POINTS.
Thanks I hadn't noticed. It looks nice to see all that blue completed. 👍
You're very welcome, @molometer! 😊
Wow! Another massive power up and so soon after your other huge power up. Good for you. this is really awesome

Congrats. You keep reaching new heights. Yesterday I once again powered up 1100HP as well. I would like to buy way more but at the moment that is not an option.
1100hp is a lot of hp well done and thanks 👍
This is best time 😁. Congratulations 🎉👏.

WOW nice, another big hive power up!
Congrats!!!
Thank you 😊 it was a long time coming.
That's quite impressive and inspiring to see someone with so much Hive Power these days. How much did you put in of your own money, compared to how much was earned over time through posting and curation?

It was all earned from blogging curation and collecting hbd over 9 years.
Your time is the best then :)
You kept hbd when others were chasing hive,now people r chasing hbd and u r on hive xD
(I noticed alot of my friends keeping money in HBD xD)
Their stake their choice. I'm happy to let the hbd go.
Is it a coincidence that $HIVE has gone up a little? It's great to see people level up and this is the time to do it. I'm looking to convert more of my HBD as more HP means I can distribute more rewards.
Have fun!
It'd be nice to think I called the bottom but I doubt it.
This is definitely the time to level up.
Who knows when this opportunity will happen again?
I'm happy to be able to give out bigger votes.
Great move, Congratulations on the power up
It was a no brainer at these prices. Thanks
Just curious. How does HBD represent debt? I'm a layman in many regards, it seems.
I'll be powering up too given the low prices
Every HBD represents $1.00 of hive so it's a claim against hive therefore debt.
There's more to it than that but that's it in a nutshell.
Great work @molometer !!!
Thank you. I just had to lol
I sold all my Hive close to $3 …. So I’m starting over again from zero.
It’s a great time to buy Hive and Power up. Working my way back to 1 Million Hive Power.
Looks like you called the top and I've called the bottom 😂👍
Hopefully .037 was the bottom ….
I’d be very happy to see Hive go to $10
Or even higher.
I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way about the $10. Anything is possible. Thanks for the reblog 👍
Edit typo
When Hive hits $10 I can retire again …
I'm already retired but $10 would be lovely.
I’m retired too … the free crypto pays for Travel … and other extras
That's very thoughtful of you!
I am still very pessimistic about the direction the Hive follows
I suppose it depends on your motivation for being on the platform?
I'm pretty used to Hive and have dropped all the other social media platforms for Hive, but we are about to see the debt ratio over 30% very soon
I dropped all the other so called social media years. Utter waste of time.
Hive is how the Internet was intended to be used by Tim Berners Lee back in the early days.
A place where real people could get together and share ideas etc. 👍
Such a massive move into the right direction.
Well done, @molometer.
Thanks it was the right move for me and for those years grinding it out. 👍
You certainly did the right thing.
Nice! I have sold all my HBD in August and powered it all up. After third cycle on crypto it seemed easier to spot this moment. Price will bounce up eventually.
Congratulations on your power up. It makes sense at these prices.
I'm here for the long haul so over time who knows how the platform will develop.
Well done. I also picked up a bit of HIVE at these record low prices. If there was ever a good time to pick up some $HIVE, it's now. Not saying you should mortgage your house, but you can buy a few $HIVE instead of two weekend beers 🍻
What a massive leaps. Congratulations on your new achievement. 200k HP soon @molometer
That's amazing man. I remember being an Orca back in the day haha. I hope Hive returns to it's past glory. That'd be awesome.
At these prices it's a win. I did have a bit of hbd so that helped.
Nice going converting the HBD to Hive and powering that up, I did it with the little HBD I had a while ago and started cost-average buying 5k HP each week. It does kind of feel like setting money on fire as a lot of the HBD out there is bound to be converted into Hive to dump that on the market.
If anything, now is the time when the ones who have been here for nearly a decade step it up and really increase their HP by a lot. Like you mention, it took almost a decade to grind your way up and now for very little money you can double or tripple all that work.
I've powered up 82,500 hp in the last 12 days and I agree that at the current price its a steal.👍
I don't know why people are sending so much hive to the exchanges?
It's their stake so they can do what they want with it.
I'm here for the blogs etc financially it's kind of irrelevant to me.
I Powered Up to share bigger votes with things I like. It's just showing appreciation for peoples work. It's monetary value is a different proposition.
Absolutely remarkable!
It must be for you to comment on it 😂👍
What a cool power-up!! Well done and great job!!
Thank you at these prices it's a bargain.
Congratz for gathering alot of commenters like hive party :)
Thanks it's great fun.
Thinking about buying a national lottery ticket today @molometer. Dude any chance you could lend me your crystal ball before I pick the numbers? 😎💰
😂😂 if only I was a gambler 😂😂👍
