We're getting closer to the year end. It wasn't the blow off top many expected some time ago, but 2021 treated us well in the crypto verse.
Last year I haven't put out a post regarding my goals for 2021, at least on Hive. To some degree it offered me the flexibility to change my priorities throughout the year, because many things weren't the same as they were at the start. But overall I believe that was a mistake, because I've been all over the place and haven't followed certain targets, at least on Hive.
For example, the idea of growing my Hive stake was always on the back of my mind, but without a clear goal, I haven't pushed in this direction. I haven't powered down or sold Hive either, but haven't added much.
Based on my monthly stats and the price of Hive at the end of December 2020, I had approximately 10350 Hive at the beginning of 2021, most of it powered up.
Now, I have 12656 Hive, again, most of it staked. Only 2306 Hive added in a year is almost pathetic.
For this counter-performance, other than the lack of a goal to increase my Hive holdings, I can find a few other reasons:
- less author rewards due to infrequent posting (as opposed to daily)
- less focus on curation APR
- more focus on gaming
- more emphasis on HE tokens and tribes
- more time dedicated to platforms outside Hive ecosystem
While I realize more frequent posting would probably increase my Hive author rewards, I'd rather not return to the daily schedule I kept for so long here on Hive. But I need to post more often, that seems clear.
In 2022, I will probably focus less on other ventures, both inside or outside the Hive ecosystem, both time-wise and monetarily, if that hinders my yearly goals.
But let's define the goals.
I will set two primary goals for 2022, leaving room for other secondary goals as much as possible. I won't state them, to keep the focus on the primary goals.
HIVE POWER: 25000
HBD in savings: 5000
That means a doubling of my current HP, which won't be easy, especially if the price of Hive remains at high levels for a good part of 2022.
The goal for HBD comes practically from scratch, since I only have about 130 HBD in my savings balance right now. And it won't be easy for multiple reasons, one of them being the multiple sinks that are built for HBD and which are or will be enticing.
Do you set yearly goals? What are yours, if you want to share?

My Hive goals for 2022: just put my head down and get busy, same as 2021.
The chips will fall as they do. Can't control that, can only focus upon the action I take.

Yep, I know your MO Task, but you're one of a kind. :)
Last year I haven't set up any goals thinking the same, but turned out I was too unfocused. I want to at least have one, two clear, primary objectives.
My goal is to have 100HP by eoy 2022

You mean 100k, I'm sure. That's a very round number and maybe I'll get there in the future. Success with your goal, Nathan!
My objectives are a bit less ambitious as I don't know Hive too well but I think that 5000hp by the end of next year seems to me a realistic goal, especially with what can be generated just by publishing posts.
That was one of my first Hive targets. To become a "dolphin", which is roughly 5k Hive Power (a little more now).
I like how you did this... :) If the price of HIVE goes up, you will easier accomplish your HBD goal... If HIVE goes lower, you will easier hit your HIVE goal... Great leveraged goals :)
My reasons are similar to yours... I was also focused more on the second layer, games, and DeFi, but I did with one difference... I have "forced" myself to do regular Power Ups, using HivePUD as a motivator... Maybe you can do something similar in 2022 and that could be a game-changer ;)
Good luck with your goals! You CAN do it!
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project and it will be highlighted in the next post!
You also did something more than I did. You posted everyday (excluding the two periods you couldn't) and you were paying more attention to curation.
Yep, they do leverage nicely one another. :)
That's true... The only thing that sucks is lower curation APR which is under 10%... On the other side, upvoting with bigger values attract more followers and eyeballs, but I'm still far away from where I would like to be... :)
Also, I'm doing a couple of dLeases to compensate a bit low curation APR...
I need to divert some of my delegation amounts from HE projects to Hive/HP generating yields/dividends (such as dlease).
Yes, it is a new average as curation rewards are under 10%, so everything over that is a "fair" deal... sometimes you can catch 13%, but I didn't see over that anything for the last month(s)..
Thanks man!
You're more connected to the dlease market, is the 11-12% APR the new average, or we can still get better deals from time to time?
Wrong account...
I utilize dlease at times, definitely need to grow my stake and witness position in top 100 helps, noticed your name on a few dead nodes, if you have the time or consider throwing a vote it would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck with your goals!
Have you tried staking HBD yet?
Thanks! I might need some. :)
Sure!
Cheers to your growth and goals. Seasons greetings to you.
If you can think it, you can do it!

Thanks for the confidence boost and the greetings! Happy holidays to you as well!
I think a 2k HP gain isn't that bad. After all its still growth and that is pretty much my earnings over the past year. Then again you can always shoot for a higher number.

Depends from the perspective. If you start with 10k, it doesn't sound very good. If you start with nothing or less than 500, that's pretty cool, without outside investments.
One of my hive goals for 2022 is to have at least 2000 hbd, I think it is doable I think.
I wish you success in achieving that. Sounds like HBD starts to attract more and more people.
Thank you, I hope I achieve it.
I feel like holding HBD is just easier since it isn't as volatile.
Well... that's its purpose. And it's doing it better and better lately.
It has been doing truly amazing.
I have not been able to make my hive goal for 2022. This is my eighth month in the blockchain and I have learned a lot.
2022 is no doubt going to be a great year. For the right months, I am about clocking 400HP. My goal hence won't be to high.
We all started from scratch in here. So, little by little, from rewards and / or investments it piles up. Good luck in 2022, but most of all, stay consistent, and good things may happen to you with time.
Good luck with your goals, just be consistent with what you do and the results will keep coming
