It's Hive Power-Up Day! Again, already. The year is passing fast—we're almost half-way through already. Time, it seems, never let's us pause to catch our breaths.

Anyway, Hive Power-Up Day!

I powered-up 200 HIVE once again.

As is becoming usual, I've also been powering up 10-20 HIVE everyday, so that puts me at...well...around 510 for all of last month plus today. A little more, but I'm just going to assume 10 per day to make the math easier. I still have the hopes of reaching 1000 power-ups every month, but with my current earnings I just can't reach that without investing outside money I don't have. I also see BTC still hasn't made me rich, so I guess we stick with these smaller power-ups for now.

So, where does that put me. Well, as of this power-up, I am up to 27,629.340 Hive Power. That puts me 7370.66 away from my goal of 35k. Divided out, that means I need around 34.4 per day to reach that goal by the end of the year. Hmm. Still too high...I keep hoping one of these months I'll do the math and see less than 20 per day needed, but I guess that day isn't here yet.

Anyway: growing stronger!! Soon to be a whale!! Er...or orca, whichever. Let's dream big!

If you miss out don't worry, there will be another next month. But that next month will be here before you know it. I suggest following @hivebuzz and/or @traciyork so you will be reminded a few days before the next one.
