It is time of the year when lot of billings will start coming in especially if you are the bread winner of the family, the one most of the budget will be on his head and you have to look for ways to sort out for funds so as to get the plans rolling, Christmas is just few days away and we haven't see food and fowl yet lolz.  This year have been a dramatic season so far, lot of things have happen both offline line and even in the cryptocurrency world, we have seen the rise and fall of some crypto projects, we have gain a lot in terms of profit and we have experience lot of loss because most times crypto is a two way things. 

Apart from been grateful for been alive to witness this day, I'm  also grateful to some investment steps I took this year, it wasn't much but it will really be profitable on a long run. First was when I came on board, it was really confusing at first because I wasn't a writer but I get use to it and it really worth  all the time dedicate to it, I also learn a lot about investment and how to diversify which took me to splinterlands as my first investment which took a lot then I went out of hive to invest in bep20. One of my best investment online this year is on bro token,  I just can't believe I could take such step this year at all and I almost quit while procrastinating, trying to take the step another time, I had to power down my hives, sps (before it really dump) and even sold most of my major cards on splinterlands just to see this investment throug.

Currently holding 630 bro tokens and I already put a stop to it for now with the hope of getting the remaining 370 token and hold the dragon badge before 2023 runs out and looking at it, there will be more investment to dive into. With the billing facing me this period, my spirit is trying to make me to power down again while going against my will not to, I had to check out dlease site this time around and delegate the little hp I have out which will prevent me from doing one main thing **Powering Down**.

With this it can prevent me at least a whole month since it will expire in the next 4 weeks and before then, I will try to generate another 500 hp lock up and re-delegate again. It is kind of better because the apr will give me double of what I am generating from curation reward monthly which still make it a win-win situation. No powerdown, till building and still earning
