HPUD - Sep 1st 2025 +35,751 HP 📈

gm frens! I'm starting to get back into the rhythm when it comes to web3 activities. One of my most important long-term goals is to establish myself as one of the ~300 Hive citizens in @gungunkrishu 's HP circle, folks in the 150,000 to 200,000 HP range:

I've called this initiative "My 8 Jive to 250,000 Hive Power" and I started it in September 2022, so it's been a whole 3 years since I started 🙌

Today, I'm on day 1089 of my journey, 40.77% of the way to the finish line.

I'm not exactly on target at the moment, I'm -20.35% from my target, but that's ok! I still have around 6,266 HIVE that I need to transfer over from my old @alex-rourke account in the coming weeks. Also, let's be honest, with Hive priced around $0.20, who wouldn't want to take the opportunity to pick up some cheap hive on the open market and close the gap?

Why is it so important for me to join the ranks of the middle-class? Well, because I believe it is absolutely necessary to have a base of committed Hive citizens who together have more voting power than any single account. Should there be a whale or a a couple voting in a direction that is not represented by the community, the orca army can sound the horns and use its HP to bring balance back to the ecosystem.

The more committed orcas we have representing the community, the more accurately we are represented in anything that requires voting:governance and which projects get funded by the DAO

Are you powering up today?

There's still time!

Quick update: I received my power up badge from Hivebuzz:
