I decided to use Coco's last known photo for my 2020 year end tally as a reminder than Coco had a worse year than me. She was just 17. Still too young to vote, when things went all wrong.
You can see her bandaged paw. She could no longer stand or eat or walk or chase frisbees or any of the things that young dogs do.
This year I decided that I wanted to buy enough HIVE to bring my upvote value over $0.02. I bought $480 HIVE. My year end stats say that I had 4,226.503 HIVE which has a market value of $481.
I kept the SteemIt account. My year in post on SteemIt says I have 356.802 STEEM and 17.909 TRON and that the account is worth $58.61. Although I wrote fewer posts on STEEM, I made more per post on SteemIt than HIVE, which is embarrassing.
HiveBuzz.me says that I've penned 307 root posts and 1462 comments.
All of my accounts are essentially 100% powered up. I've done things like starting communities, and launching coins. I've yet to withdraw money to a bank account.
I bought 2000 BLURT, so that I could try their platform. Blurt.World then disappeared from the planet. I assume that my BLURT investment is simply gone forever.
Anyway, my accounts are essentially powered up 100%, plus I bought $480 coins. I hope to start withdrawing coins in 2021. I just hope that HIVE does not follow blurt.world and disappear off the face of the earth.
Anyway, my HIVE account looks bleak. It really is worth $500.
Last week, I had the @vagabondspirit account create a new token called OMA. OMA had its ICO and paid me 10,100 tokens for services. OMA is a utility token for use in the Vagabond Spirit game. I will describe its use at a later date. I currently value the coin at $0.11 HIVE.

I decided to give blurt.world a try and bought 2000 tokens. It looks like blurt disappeared. This second table shows my STEEM, TRX and BLURT holdings.
| Coin Nm | Tokens | Low Bid | HIVE | USD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| STEEM | 357 | n/a | n/a | $58.61 |
| SEngine | 139762 | 1.69 | n/a | $0.26 |
| TRX | 18 | n/a | n/a | $0.48 |
| BLURT | 2250 | 0.00600 | n/a | $14.50 |
| subtot | 142387 | n/a | n/a | $73.85 |
| Total | 175525 | n/a | n/a | $1,736.10 |
Anyway my end of the year tally shows that I have amassed a cyber fortune of 175 thousand coins. I doubt I could get $500 selling the coins. Adding the OMA coin to the mix, my total coin value comes to $1,736 for 2020.
Poor Coco and that is a nice investment in Hive. Do you know what happened to Blurt?
My numbers are actually really bad. i bought $480 in HIVE. My account, after two years, was worth $481.
I bought HIVE because I wanted my upvote to be worth $0.02; so that I could upvote comments. My upvote is worth just $0.019. If I upvoted your comment the upvote would be wiped away as dust.
As for the $1000 in the account .... Well, I created my own coin. i am in the only buyer for the coin. I set the value at $1,000. That will let me carry a tax loss over to this year.
Of course, 2021 will prove to be the banner year where HIVE will prove that it is a world class investment. The big test this year will be to see if I can pull out the $480 I invested in HIVE in 2021. The plan is to stay 100% staked until the account reaches 5k. I will then start pulling the funds from the account.
