It's Monday, and it looks like we are having some crazy volatility in the markets, but I don't want to write about that today... I want to write about something more important, about YOU and me... π My mind was triggered by multiple things that happened lately and I would like to share the "thinking process" in my head... Buckle your seatbelts... π
The first interesting thing that made me think was when @incublus asked participants in his Ecency Discord show, how they feel when they are upvoted by some big whale account(s)... In one moment, he asked me directly and that made me think... If you follow my blog and check my posts, you will notice that I don't have those HUGE whale upvotes too often, like some other users have... Instead, I do have a lot of smaller votes from people who "consume" my content which makes me even happier than an occasional whale upvote... But to be honest, who doesn't like big upvotes?

On the other side, I felt a bit sad when I saw how small are upvotes of some of my friends here on HIVE... As my "plan" from the beginning was to build new connections, make new friends, and help each other, it does hurt to see something like that... It is not that bad, as many people understand the point of building healthy relationships and connections on HIVE, and they do grow their HivePower, along with taking profits and paying for their living costs... It is possible to do both, and it is beneficial!
Also, one of the main problems is HIVE price, even if you don't care about it! I was thinking about creating a post on that topic, but I will try to be short in this one... These market cycles can be hard, and if you are here for less than 1 cycle (4 years), you probably can't grasp how they work... One thing is to know the theory about it, but it's completely another thing to LIVE THROUGH the cycle...
My wife asked me yesterday a question: "How sure are you about all this crypto thing, from 1 to 100%?" For me, that was such an easy question and the answer was very short, "100%"! As she asked me that question in the first place, means that she has some "second thoughts" about it... And that's the direct impact of the current market condition and current part of the cycle!! With all these side-moves for over 2 months, it tries to break people down, to start doubting their conviction in crypto!
The same thing happens on HIVE, with my friends... Not everyone has the same conviction as I have, and that's the reality! The only thing that I can do is to support people around me, educating them about the pros and cons, motivating them to continue through hard times, and maybe inspire them to do better...
If my friend gets disappointed with the current value of HIVE, he/she can leave, and even if I don't care about the price, I will lose a friend... It's easier to grow if we support each other and help a person who fell down, to get back on their feet, and push together forward... I want to grow, but on this chain, it is possible only WITH you!
Let's go back to the report numbers! Not too much movement in the pool in the last 7 days... We didn't get new members and nobody left us, but we did get new delegations from existing delegators! Thanks for your trust, guys!
The average price of the WORKERBEE tokens went a bit up, which makes the APR look lower... :)
In the last 7 days we mined 103 BEE tokens in total!!!
This POOL doesn't have fees and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
I like it when it's a turn on my favorite LEN tokens to be distributed to delegators of the pool as a bonus reward! As a co-owner of the @Liotes project, I am aware of what we are building there (you can be too if you check out the @liotes account and our regular posts), and it's very easy to spot the value that we are bringing to the HIVE ecosystem... All that is funneled back into the LEN token, which makes it more stable and resilient on hard crypto markets... At the moment, the token had a small pullback in price, which means that you will get a bit more bonus tokens than last time... Also, that means that you are getting more value for the future! (not financial advice!)
There will be distributed 55 LEN tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... There will be distributed 103 BEE tokens and 55 LEN tokens as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 7.883%, and when we added the bonus it went up to 9.458%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens at the moment of creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...

It's great that you are so confident and committed to cryptocurrencies. It's important to support others and work together to overcome challenges.
Keep up the positive and supportive attitude!
!WINE
Thanks! I'm deep in crypto financially and time-wise, so there is no turning back for me... It has to work out! π
I believe in crypto as well and it's why I have never powered down so far yet. I think it's more beneficial to grow together with everyone else here on the chain and improving my HP is one of the ways to do so.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/LEN tokens.
Exactly! I have the same vision about growth on HIVE, but of course, I do invest in other cryptos too... The possibility to move cryptos from one to another can make a bit more profit on top of it... ;)
I don't have a whale vote too, just the orcas I know, supporting and consuming my contents and I on the other hand do so too, and also support some small time creators who also wants to grow their stake. I'm mainly particular about supporting people who also wants to grow to support others. I'm not sad I don't get a whale vote, it's all luck.
When people grow their stake and support themselves they won't even need a whale.
AMEN! Sometimes, I would like to see all people UNDELEGATING their HP from big whale curation accounts and doing manual curation... That would be the best thing ever! π
Hive is about people, the network effect, meeting new friends, and connecting with them... It shouldn't be about the "whale lottery" of upvotes...
Some people even think only whales can do curation that matters, it was like that when I came to the chain, but years later, a collection of small dolphins and orcas can really make a difference. It's why I don't delegate too.
Yeah, I know... Unfortunately, it is like that... I heard a couple of times during the #HHHLive show, or in a chat that even after a couple of months, people are not aware that they can upvote others! When I realized that, I decided to be more vocal about HivePower, it's importance, and decentralization in general...
I agree man, I want to grow here but together, I don't want to do it alone. If we grow together we can add value to each other.
It is impossible to do it alone! In the end, this is a social network and it would be crazy if it would be like that... On the other side, it is so much fun when we are doing things together and supporting each other... π
I can say that I have similar upvotes. I am hardly ever voted by whales. I always say in my posts about HIVE that we have a remerkable amount of HP to exist on HIVE, and for this, a newbie has long journey on HIVE, if would like to continue.
Yeah, agree that is a long way for any newbie if he/she wants to grow... But, it wasn't too much different for us... I don't remember that I was getting whales upvotes from the beginning... I'm not getting them now either... lol...
But, the point is that we can grow as long as we support others with our own stake... ;)
On this chain, we need ourselves to make it a better place. Iβm sure we all are not happy about the price of Hive but we gotta go harder!
I saw numerous times people blaming whales, witnesses, and everybody else when the price of HIVE goes down... Very rarely, people point fingers at themselves... HIVE is a small social media network, and every Hivian counts, and every action that we take counts... The power is in the decentralization of votes and not centralization of power!
Thank you for the LEN token! I've been with crypto since 2009. The tears the laughs all the emotions that you can think of. Bear or bull just keep holding on!
Wow! You are a real crypto OG if you are that long in the space! My first "excursion" in crypto was in 2013, but I had no idea what I bought back then (BTC) and I sold it after a few months... Got back later in 2017 and am still here... π This time, I'm not going anywhere... π
HODL!
Im still quite new to crypto in relative terms and although I did see the falls from the last cycle, I am wondering how it will be the next bear market. 2026 could be a pretty tough year and I am thinking of a strategy to deal with it. Some say to take profits at the top, others to just ignore your stack during this time.
I think my conviction on crypto is like, once you get used to the new tech, you cant go back to the old tech.
Looking forward to your post on price, appreciate to hear your thoughts.
I would do something in the middle... And will do... Balance things out...
I remember very well how in 2018 I had very hard times and I didn't want to live through the same thing in 2022... I did better, but I should do better... In 2026 it should be smooth with all the experience... π
We will see... :) It's all about preparations and taking some profits...
You got this!
I have the same conviction as you in crypto (more or less controlled, more or less of an alternative to the current system, but these are different discussions), but many indeed need encouragement and support to go through such periods. These times can be tougher to endure for many people than crashes because they last longer and wear them down.
These times are tough, that's for sure... I notice that on myself, but my skin is much harder, so I don't get the "full picture"... Checking posts from others, and listening to complaints in Discord channels, it is obvious that people are having a hard time...
Surviving is a personal thing, but I think that it's important to show to others that it's not the end of the world...
Awesome work mining the BEE tokens and got to keep on growing!
Thanks! The only way is up!
Thanks for the pool rewards! Stay up while the HIVE price is still waving πevery day π€£ !LOL

Having conviction to keep putting the work during a bear cycle is hard. Interestingly, before the bear cycle, there was a bull cycle but users have more or less forget about it and view it as a distant memory. I think having a sufficient understanding in theory on how cycles work will help in moving forward during the hard times.
We humans react emotionally to many things and it is true that we are reacting (and memorizing) more to negative events... Especially if they are strong emotions, which can happen in the bear markets... Even when we know the theory around it, it's not easy to take the necessary steps in hard times...
Right. For theory to be more effective, we also must go through the experience, make mistakes and learn from them. In a way, it's a cycle of theory and practice and back to theory again and later on practice again.
It's just like that in the market we're learning a lot about how to annoy people. We will see that the etf will also be approved by Ethereum and then its price will also increase and if it breaks out from here it will go up to 4 thousand dollars.
Haha that's so true. Thanks for the update and tokens!
