December is here! Thoughts and the HPUD! 🐝 💪🎄

Dear Hivers!

We did it, we're already at the end of the year. What an incredible and incredibly fast journey. How is it possible that almost all of 2025 has already passed? What happened? And another month that have flied by🐝 Time really goes fast, and almost without realizing it, and yes, it's December my friends, now. And you know what that means, right? Christmas is coming, that time of year filled with dreams and lights everywhere. It seems colder, but it doesn't matter because the decorations are everywhere. There's a different atmosphere, a more lively energy, thinking about new wishes and plans for the coming year. Because soon, we'll already have to start thinking about 2026. Wow! So...

Happy December and Merry Christmas!🎄

Thoughts About November & For December

And what about this past last month? Overall, things are going well. We're making progress, keeping up the same slow pace and only posting when possible, in the same places: contests, like Olio de Balena community's, or photography contests like Friendlymoose's, who unfortunately is leaving Hive for a while... and from time to time I recommend a series or movie. That's about it.

But I've noticed something, beyond the fact that crypto has fallen, and Hive too... that might have affected Hive's activity. What do you think? I don't know, maybe it's just my perception, or seeing less activity not only on my profile due to my circumstances but also on the profiles of other users... but I'm seeing less activity in general, and although it's a good time to buy Hive at a good price, such a long time with such a low value that keeps falling is also discouraging, seeing the value of our profiles drop after so much work and consistency. In my case, it's been four years now; this November, in fact, was my anniversary on Hive. And now more than ever, there's a certain uncertainty, although we still have faith in Hive, we're still here, even if it's just a little. And we'll continue participating in the HPUD whenever possible.

After all this, to the point, now let's see how this past last month has resulted for me:

Hive Power Up Day

Well I'd say that despite all I keep somehow my presence here, and now today, day 1st of the new month let's focus on the HPUD, it is therefore my 36th Power Up Day in total. In my case it is the 12th of 2025 obviously after January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December now. So the whole year! Done! I am growing on Hive by doing monthly power ups always... so let's go with this new Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪

So here I have done as usual a new POWER UP of 100 HIVE again because I have checked my HIVE count amount and again also this month I still can power up a big amount, super! Thanks also to the contest of the community Olio di Balena, and to others where I won several HIVE rewards!!!

We will see if I will be able to do a big one the next month it's depends on how November is going to be... And not an issue this because the big goal was already reached! 10k HP. So anyway, let's see and let's keep growing!

As many of you know, in the past July I reached the big milestone: 10.000HP. And I see now that my HIVE POWER keeps growing, now 11288HP!!! Although this is the total with delegations and support taking into account the done and received delegations (-904HP). In addition I hope that delegations will help me to increase my HP even passively although it will be a slower increase, but I would like to reach my next goal despite all.

And what's my goal now? Clearly... 15000HP! So let it be. And each time, each month the new goal is closer! So despite it will take some time obviously (but goals are every time more ambitious and bigger), and that's not bad just some extra patient is required, that's all. In the meantime, let's keep growing! Ah! and I'm being a Dolphin, which is great.

Savings & Stats

Some time ago I decided to start saving some HBD, in very small amounts, time to time I add maybe 1, 2 or 3 Hive Dollars, during a time. Lately I did not add more, I just converted or bought HIVE as the price is low as we all see. But the amount saved has grown thanks to the interests! And I also added 50 HIVE just one first time. Now just seeing how these figures are becoming bigger and hope my savings (=risparmi/ahorros) will grow more! Now I have more than 327 HBD!!! And the last month I ended with 323, so in a month I have increased my savings almost with 4 HBD!

And also I have accumulated also many Ecency points thanks also to some contest like "guessing Shadow Hunters authors" and other contests too, and the wheel on the app (and that I usually use again for promoting my posts a bit), although I do not use all so I have a good amount. Thanks Ecency!

As I always say, my goal is to keep growing on the platform, but I am posting somehow less now, although I try to be a bit present at least. Here my growth in the last 30 days, despite all not bad, the orange line is up! (Checked on hivestats.io)

Reputation Level

And so, about my reputation, some ("long") time ago I reached the level 73 on #HIVE! And I check now on PeakD that it's 73.85 (from 73.81 last month). Step by step! So it's easier now to think in the next step: level 74 although it's being really a slow process... every time the growth of that figure is slower but it's still growing... patience!

Holozing & More Tokens

About tokens... I started late to this interesting project "Holozing", starting in my case from January 16th, 2024, but I'm more than one year, and a half, in this project now! And since then I have started to claim my rewards and I have added a bit to the liquidity pool and delegated some HP too to @zingtoken to get more interests as well. And then with the ZING rewards staked I'm earning more every time! Most of 3844 ZING earned in total! (from 3545 last month). And my current contributors position is 906 (from 926), better again!

And well, I check my tokens wallet, where I still keep a nice amount of LEO and ALIVE tokens and other ones. For example, I have also some LOLZ, PIZZA, etc. and of course ZING. I swapped all the LUV tokens for some LEO, not much but better like this, we will see if there will be more interesting tokens to add...

Ah and earning POSH or GOSH on hiveposh.com!

Also I am earning more LEN thanks to some contests, and I got INDEED too which it's good and HOPE too! While I increased my BBH amount too to reach 1000 (finally). Also two more, HBIT and DIY, let's see how all is going... and it seems there are new others like ZOMBIE, but I don't still know much about it. Any suggestion?

Acknowledgments & HPUD and HPUM information

Finally, I want to thank @traciyork for the long-time HP delegation to me, thanks! And also this time to @apis.hive ive ve that have delegated to my account more than 321HP (oh the amount has been increased twice!) thanks to the great project Apis.Hive. And sharing als gift with Discord friendly hivers it's also cool, even after to reach the maxim of pots gained! Visit the site and web, grow and get supporting HP delegations! THANKS A LOT!

And if you do not know much about all this, ask and look for information Hive users always help, and I share here a post with useful information. Here the updated link:
