Hello all! Another week and it’s time again to do another #myhivegoals post, a series idea started by started by @jongolson. This also doubles as my weekly progress report for #saturdaysavers, which is a fun little group that tries to motivate everyone to save and reach their goals. I’m going to look at the progress I’ve made on my Hive goals, as well as give a few tokens I’m looking at right now. If you are here for the comment SBI giveaway, well, we’ll get to that too.

Let’s start with my Hive goals.

Hive & HBD

My current goal is 35k Hive.

Last week I made 533.9, bringing me to 34,701.040 total Hive Power. That’s 99.1% of my goal! As has been the case for the past few months (ever since Hive dove down under 0.20), most of that is from my fiat wallet, not from posts, so don’t get the wrong idea. But as long as Hive is cheap, I will continue to average in and therefore my weekly HP increase might remain high.

Math time. 35k - 34,701.040 gives us 298.96. Divided out by the days till the first of next year, we get 3 Hive needed per day to reach 35k by that point. So if I increase by the same as last week, I will pass 35k this week. Let’s see if I do!!

Second Layer Tokens

Token	Last week total	Goal	Needed	Note
LGN	—	2000	0	Goal Met
BRO	0.19	1000	387.444	61.3% of the way there!
PIMP	513.74	100k	9678.83	90.3% of the way there!
CINE	426.113	—	—

Pretty normal gains in all of these. I’m still debating if I turn towards BRO after reaching 35k HP or if I push towards 40k HP. I’m not sure. I love BRO and think what @raymondspeaks is doing there is great and worth supporting. But I also want to keep growing my Hive Power. We’ll see which one I decide soon!

Silver

The silver chart for last week:

A pretty good week. No big gains, but that is par the course for precious metals, where we want more stability. Still… hoping for $40 next!

Giveaway

That stuff out of the way, let’s do our SBI drawing! If you are new here, I give away 5 shares of SBI every week to commenters on this post. If you also reblog and comment you get a second entry and double the award (if you win).

So how about this week? Let’s see… last post we had comments from @caelum1infernum [x2] @dewabrata @fixyetbroken [x2] @hetty-rowan @hivecurators @thebighigg [x2]. Wow, only six comments. What happened? Much much fewer than usual. Was it something I said?

Well, rather than leave anyone out, I’m going to send HSBI to all six of you—double to those who reblogged the post.

Congratulations, everyone!

And forward we go! It was a strong week. Let’s see how this coming one goes!
