I've changed my strategy since my last achievement, at 8KHP, and I started focusing my posts on a 50% reward. Still, I got here thanks to my almost daily participation in Hive. This consistency brings long-term results, and constant growth ends up being a daily motivator for our return and improvement on the platform.
Something that encourages me is the HiveBuzz project, which has inspired me a lot! Whether it's the Hive Power Up Month or the other Weekly Author badges, they're all incentives for us to be here. And for this reason, I thank the creators of the Hivebuzz project!
I'm very happy with this 9KHP mark, because I actually joined Hive in April 2022 with my first post about Splinterlands. It was through the game's account that I got here, I could never have imagined the change that November 2021 would make in my entire life.
So today I have 2 years and 11 months of coexistence on the platform:
Since I started organizing this post, which represents my story on the platform, a lot has changed. With each stage I conquered, I had different goals and expectations!
I'm currently working towards the Annual Author mark, which I don't think I'll ever achieve. That won't stop me from trying!
I've currently published all 51 days of the year 2025, so I'm active in this challenge!
A lot has happened in this period of time, and I've changed my participation profile in the Hive. I've joined several projects over the years and not all of them have flourished. What I can share with those who are just starting out are the points that worked for me:
Content publishing
I have to admit that after so much time living in the blockchain, I've gradually found my spaces and today I can look back and say that Splinterlands is still the main reason I started creating content.
After developing my writing skills, which were extremely limited, I now feel comfortable writing for other niches. My relationship with front-ends was essential for my evolution. Since I first came into contact with Peakd, I quickly migrated to Ecency, where I stayed for about a year. I am currently doing all my creation within the InLeo frontend. I have been adapting and working on sending feedback for constant improvements.
However, in October 2024, Peakd launched the new Snaps tool, which quickly won me over and brought me back to using this frontend. Although my participation is still small, I am reactivating old habits and I can say that there is currently competition between the three main frontends for producing long-form content: Ecency, Peadk and InLeo.
And I almost forgot to mention Liketu, which I use monthly.
Communities
My focus has stabilized on the following communities:
- HiveLearners: opinion pieces.
- HiveGaming: Splinterlands and other games.
- Liketu: Cooking.
- FreeCompliments: Reflections and thoughts.
- InLeo: Household budget; Inflation.**
- TravelFeed: Travel.
- HiveGarden: Gardening
The HiveLearners community has been taking up two weekly posts. I like to give my opinion and since the challenges are always in text, I feel very comfortable giving my contribution..
Expanding my participation in other subjects is essential to achieve my goal of publishing a text daily. It is undeniable that my writing skills have improved, and my thoughts have become more easily organized regarding the structure of the text during its creation.
A great advantage of writing every day is that I feel my ability to think logically and organize ideas coherently has improved! Writing is an absurd side benefit and should be sought by everyone who publishes on Hive!
Acquiring Hive on the Market
My new preferred mechanism is
hivehub.dev to make purchases of Hive by paying with HBD. I have a routine of monitoring price fluctuations and usually leave some purchase order open.
The value of Hive has fallen drastically, from 0.29 in the 5KHP post to 0.19 in the 6KHP post, and has remained floating at 0.27 now in the 8KHP post. Soon after that, we had a peak of 0.70 in December, and now in the 9KHP post we are at 0.34.
My goal is not to buy Hive to generate HivePower growth, but to generate Hive through publications.
Collaboration and Projects
I have participated with varying degrees of commitment in the following projects:
Hive-BR: In the Brazilian community, I am responsible for monthly monitoring of the evolution of the HBR token, publishing the balance of financial transactions and token issuance, in addition to monitoring changes in current guidelines in the community through member voting. In December 2023, I became a member of the Brazilian community's curator group.
HiveBR Guild: I'm responsible for Fray 5 from the game Splinterlands!
HivePakistan: I've been a curator for the Brazilian community on this project since January 2025.
HiveBuzz Badges
My goal of completing some
hivebuzz.me challenges also helped me reach this milestone. After obtaining the
Weekly Author badge, I also obtained the
Monthly Author badge, which is granted to those who publish daily with rewards exclusively in
HivePower.
These badges are given to authors who manage to maintain a consistency of daily publications during the determined period, and there are also prizes and delegation incentives for the winners!
These three badges are for weekly, monthly and yearly authors. Note that I have already achieved the weekly badge and the monthly badge.
Participating in these challenges has helped me a lot to improve my focus and consistency in posting. In addition, I have also participated in other hivebuzz.me campaigns such as the World Cups!
I thank everyone who has supported me in this coexistence of great respect and collaboration!
