I am into my tenth year on this blockchain and it still gets me excited. I have seen the price rise and fall, but it is the technology that gives me hope. We need platforms that do not depend on the whims of corporations and billionaires. People keep building cool stuff here without having to pay or ask permission.
Of course it is not perfect and there will be issues, but I think most have a good experience.
I have been powering up every month for a while to be part of #hpud and get a badge from @hivebuzz. Some of this has been funded by selling crypto assets I was not using. My focus is on HP so I can distribute rewards to good content.
Last year I averaged adding 2000 HP each month through posting, curation, inflation/interest and HPUD. So today I added another 2000 to start the year well. I am a long way from being a whale, but I hope I can play a part in making Hive better.
I used the Hive Wrapped tool from @emrebeyler to summarise my year. I have been busy with almost 7000 comments. A lot of those were Snaps using the nice @snapie app. I received almost 100k upvotes, but I never take those for granted even if they are automated. I have connected with many people online and in person to get this much support. That includes going to 4 Fests in different countries. I met up with a few Hivers in the UK last year.
I wish you all the best for 2026. Hive is what we make it and I will do what I can.
Hive five!
Happy New year. Praying for a good year for Hive and everyone here
Cheers and the same to you.
Congratulations on your big power up again Steve, I love seeing a few of us Brits hovering around the HP ranking and moving up together. Great journey and companions to be with
Cheers. Wishing you all the best.
Nice power up! Mine was a bit smaller, but I still made the effort.
We can just keep building as best we can. I know you have various investments and I hope they do well for you.
Happy new year @steevc

Ten years on the blockchain is a serious commitment, and it's great that the tech still gets you excited
