<p>Hello all! Another week and it&#8217;s time again to do another #myhivegoals post, a series idea started by started by @jongolson. This also doubles as my weekly progress report for #saturdaysavers, which is a fun little group that tries to motivate everyone to save and reach their goals. I&#8217;m going to look at the progress I&#8217;ve made on my Hive goals, as well as give a few tokens I&#8217;m looking at right now. If you are here for the comment SBI giveaway, well, we&#8217;ll get to that too. </p>

<p>Let&#8217;s start with my Hive goals. </p>
<center><h1> 𝙃𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 </h1></center>

<p>My current goal is 35k Hive. </p>

<p>Last week I made 231.46, bringing me to 22498.96 total Hive Power. That&#8217;s 64.3% of my goal! </p>

<p>Math time. 35k - 22498.96 gives us 12501.04. Divided out by the days till the first of next year, we get 35.5 Hive needed per day to reach 35k by that point. Last week I was at 33.066 earned per day, so I&#8217;m still behind the pace needed to reach my goal but I was close! If I can get on pace for 35k, I may even allow myself to think of my stretch goal of 40k. </p>

<p>But I do have to give a huge thank you to @livinguktaiwan, because a chunk of my weekly gain came from partially winning her contest. Without that, my average would have been lower. </p>

<p>Still under pace&#8230; but let&#8217;s see if I can do better this week!<br/>
<br>
<center><h1> 𝙏𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙣𝙨: 𝘽𝙍𝙊 &amp; 𝙋𝙄𝙈𝙋 </h1></center></p>

<p>Moving on to the Hive-Engine tokens. My primary goal is hive power, so I&#8217;m not using any of my post earnings here. But I do use any money made in swap.hive (from selling other random tokens earned) to throw into PIMP or BRO. </p>

<p>My overall goal here is 1000 BRO and 100k PIMP. </p>

<p>Last week I didn&#8217;t make much headway on BRO. I only earned 0.141, which puts me at 525.83 total or 52.6% of my goal. PIMP, however, I bought and earned 424.3 PIMP last week, putting me at 64119.2 — 64.1% of my goal. </p>

<p>I know I&#8217;m not on pace to make my BRO goal by the end of the year, and I&#8217;m probably not on pace for my PIMP goal either—I&#8217;m not going to do the math, just a feeling—but that&#8217;s ok. The focus is on Hive Power, these are just more for whenever I get there.<br/>
<br>

<p>Finally, my last goal category is silver. I try to pick up a little silver every week. This may be a 1oz coin or round, or it make be an older coin from back when they still used silver in regular coinage. </p>

<p>This week I just picked up the latter, getting another ¥100 coin from the days when these were 60% silver. I know, I know, I said no more Japanese junk silver this year. I just can&#8217;t resist. </p>

<p>If you are interested, I wrote about this rice design ¥100 coin → <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-136819/@dbooster/another-silver-yen-coin-1959">here</a>.</p>

<p>If you haven&#8217;t checked the silver charts, with the exception of a small drop and a small jump it was mosly sideways with the week finishing at nearly the same level it started. With the hype surrounding the Bitcoin EFT over, will silver have a better week this week? Let&#8217;s see what happens!</p>
