We are almost near the last month of the year and this is going to be the last power-up day of the year. This is also the right time to analyze if I was able to complete my goals for the year or not and what additional efforts would be required from my end. This month again I was able to power up 2000 Hive today on the occasion of HPUD. I know this is not close to what I should be powering up because there is still close to 5k more Hive required to square off before the end of the year. 

I had set myself a goal to reach 100k Hive power before the end of the year. I wanted to complete this goal and start booking my profits after the goal was reached. Mostly the profits would be in the form of liquid HBD earnings that I get. Any additional earnings in the form of HP would stay as it is. From the looks of it, I guess I might need a couple of more months to complete the goal of 100k Hive power. The reason why I wanted to have this goal was because 100k was a very decent number to look at and when the price of Hive improves in the next bull run, it would become a very good advantage for the investors.

I was confident enough that it should be possible for me to complete the goal of reaching 100k Hive power before the end of the year but I lack close to 5k Hive which can take a few more months to achieve. Maybe before the year's end, I might reach 95k Hive power and stand there. I would say I was successful in completing the goal of 100k Hive power because I have my @balaz with some Hive power. If I consolidate everything into one account, maybe I can say that I would have already completed my goal.

This year itself was a great journey and if I look at the above table, I can see that I have powered up a lot of Hive in the last year. Maybe the first month did not go well but after that, it was all a decent power and that was one of the biggest reasons why I was able to reach 100k Hive power. In the next bull run, if the value of Hive is reaching 3$ or even 2$, I would have a huge amount of Hive to book profit from.

As many of you are aware I write every single day and am eagerly waiting to get the yearly writer badge on @hivebuzz. I'm glad to be able to see a decent number in both author rewards as well as curation rewards. I can see the curation rewards are improving really well in the last few months. I guess gradually the curation rewards might get bigger than the author reward I usually get every month.

The above screenshot shows my witness earnings in the last one month. I operate my witness from the account @balaz. Overall last month was great because BTC showed a great sign of increase and stability in spite of so many issues. We are still not sure what would happen to the exchange listing of Hive on Binance. There is a FUD saying that Binance might see some changes after the new CEO. Let us all hope the changes are in the positive direction.
