HIVE and SPORTS Power Up Day - September 2021
Hey Hivers,
A new month is starting, that must mean it's Power Up Day again! August was a little bit different as I spent most of it away from home and visiting my family, but most days I was able to get a connection, and maintain some of my usual posting and curating.
HIVE
Let's start with the Power Up today of course. I wasn't able to save as much HIVE as last month, but I reached my favorite 66.666HP, and it was powered up. That will get me another level 2 badge from @hivebuzz. I'm starting to have a decent collection, since it is my tenth participation in a row to Hive Power Up Day.
In addition to the usual monthly Power Up, I decided to also send a few HBD to my Savings to benefit from the 10% APR. This month, only 5HBD. I will see in the next few months if I increase these Savings.
Now, concerning the account growth, it is once again somewhat steady. I started the month with 1527HP and finished with 1591HP. It is slightly less than last month, but with the HBD savings, and the current HIVE price, that is not too surprising. After today's Power UP, the total is 1657HP!
Like I said, steady is the key:
SPORTS
The acceleration I noticed last month was confirmed in August: it's a second month with an over 700k increase. That's better than I had hoped for. My total is now at 4.23M staked SPORTS tokens. Like I also mentioned previously, after tweaking my Vote weight Multiplier in Leodex, I am now able to consistently get over 30% APR curation returns, as compared to the 11% I usually get for HIVE. Of course, with compounding effect, that adds up quickly!
Here's the growth, showing the recent acceleration:
Targets
- For HIVE, I hope to keep this steady growth. That means that overall I add at least 130HP every month. I will see how this month goes, and hopefully reevaluate this objective higher.
- For SPORTS, I have an aggressive target of 5M for the end of September. That means I must have an even better month than the last two. I believe it's possible, but it definitely won't be easy.
- Other Hive Engine tokens. As usual, I powered up a bunch of other tokens, but none with a significant power yet. I am hoping to reach 5000 DUNK tokens very soon though. After that, I can start thinking of targets.
Another month complete on Hive, I hope all is good for you as well, good luck y'all and onto September!

Thanks a bunch for the support, I really appreciate it!
Congratulations @manuvert! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

Thanks for the badge once again and the support as always! I saw your Hive Power Up Month idea, that sounds really cool! I am not sure I will be able to power up 1 Hive every day though. If the HIVE from the 50% HBD/HP split count, then I probably can, we'll see.
You're welcome @manuvert. We wish you good luck with the PUM.
BTW, support us back and vote for our witness.
You will get one more badge and bigger upvotes from us when we notify you.
@manuvert Good Morning! It is always a pleasure to read how others are investing in the Hive Blockchain and how they are achieving their goals. Thank you for the insight!
Have a Terrific Tuesday.
BTW; was curious, did you create the graphic above your post? And if so what is the significance of the "666"? What are we missing here?

Not sure how I am supposed to address the king, so I'll just say 'Hey' 😉
Thanks for stopping by and the kind comment.
The main background for the picture is from a great kit created by @nateaguila that you can find here: https://peakd.com/hive/@nateaguila/free-hive-social-kit. Really cool designs.
I just added a couple of small pictures, the sportstalksocial logo and Power Up day title. For the "666", there's not a whole lot of significance. I may have mentioned it in the past but it's just a funny nod to the 'number of the Beast'. Although I don't consider myself a practicing Satanist, I do share some of their views. And I just really like some of the imagery around the number 666 (and the Iron Maiden song of course!). That's the reason my monthly power up is sometimes 66.666HP, unless I am able to power up significantly more of course.
Have a great week!
@manuvert We hyperlinked the free-hive-social-kit and we copied and pasted here:
"Nothing kills innovation, creativity, and collaboration quicker than a lack of empathy.
Now, I'm not saying that cancerous elements within the community must be tolerated. However, we must take care to resist a mob mentality that is quick to ridicule, bully, or tear down anyone that has a differing opinion or perspective.
The goal should always be to seek common ground, understanding, and peaceful, mutually-beneficial resolution. In doing so, we will benefit from a wellspring of knowledge and experience that spans across all members of the community. Therein lies our power."
Hello Hive watchers for plagerism, the above qoute was taken from here:

Ok, getting past that, We love this goal! Thanks for providing this link!
We are not worried about how you address us. To us, it is fun and part of the brand. Here in the US when our country was founded, the founders were dead set against "monarchy" and "titles". Therefore it is part of the many layered onion that we call "King Neptune."
Humor is great on both sides of the spectrum, dark and light. The King was never into "acid" rock and/or hard rock. More of a romantic and ballads. They call the King, "The Love Machine!" Humor brings light and truth into the darkness.
So, hey it would appear that we agree to disagree on some aspects of life, however, we are all on our own path to ascension. We all have a right to free choice and to block and/or stop someone from choosing free will goes against the law of the universe.
It only becomes a matter of time before those who are stopping and/or preventing others their sovereign right to free will and all of us arise to stop this, then we will all move forward towards ascension. For those who wish to stay were they are at, again, free will choice!
Be blessed in Love, Light, Liberty and the pursuit of your happiness!
