Forget about the fact that we are already halfway through the month of January 2023, but I felt like I just put up my numbers for the last 15 days yesterday.

With that said, there seems to be a nice vibe going on right now and by no means does it feel like we are anywhere near putting the [CRYPTO WINTER ](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-crypto-winter)behind us, but there is a hint of optimism with the [CRYPTOCURRENCY](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/cryptocurrency).

Personally, I'm not bothered by much of what has happened outside of [HIVE](https://leofinance.io/@crypto-guides/what-is-hive-crypto-hive) as I continue to focus on doing my part to contribute to this blockchain's ecosystem by using as many of the applications and front ends as possible without neglecting those [core](https://peakd.com/hive-119826/@jimmy.adames/my-six-foundational-hive-ecosystem) to my daily activity.

I am very optimistic that this year will be strong one for the **HIVE** [BLOCKCHAIN](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/blockchain) and I am definitely at ease with my methodical upswing of my own numbers as well. 

I can't really complain as based on some factors that will keep me a step behind where I would like to be at this point as a I approach my third year of not missing a day of some type of activity on HIVE, but just remaining consistent, with effort and showing up has help my numbers never not increase and although gradual, I'm totally happy with that.

I participated in my first [LPUD](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@jimmy.adames/lpud-had-to-roar) yesterday, which was a nice way to end my 15th day and into this post today.

It helps with being held self accountable to be part of community events like [HIVE POWER UP](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-hive-power-hp) days and **LEO POWER UPS** to strive to keep up with my fellow HIVERS and get in on the fun.

Honestly, I power up my HIVE daily and was doing that with my LEO, but help from doing so with LEO until the 15th. Not sure I will go back to doing that with my HIVE, but that will always be an option for me.

Had some decent increases, especially that nice HBD and LEO bumps and a nice start towards hitting 5,000 to 5,500 HIVE HP in 2023.

Remaining in the the *Top 10* on the **ListNerds** and **ListNerds/CTP** rich list remains in tact for me as I continue to rank towards the top on both, which is a goal I set for myself when the CTP team brought their mailer to the blockchain.

As far as my off chain email marketing endeavors go, I ended the year with one of the lowest total of subscribers coming on to my list in the last 15 days with just 12 and taking into consideration that I can't put as much time into it and it was during the holidays that it was not surprising.

What was surprising is that the time I put into it early on this year kind of matched the time I put into towards the end of last year and still ended up doubling the amount of subscribers with 24.

My list size also didn't take a step back, because unverified and other factors will drop off subscriber counts, but I ended 2022 with 311 subscribers and up 326 to start the first half of the first month this year.

I want to make sure that trend continues, but will have to working on refreshing my lead capture page. Up to this point my pages are working for a good 6 months before I see the gradual standstill and when I see the lack of sign-ups altogether, but to see that I still generated 24 more sign-ups to begin 2023 is totally encouraging.

Reiterating how I started the post, I not only see some positive signs to remain optimistic with this year personally and crypto altogether and of course whole-heartedly bullish on HIVE!
