Getting Productive on Labor Day

avatar


May 1st, Labor Day in more than 80 nations, including my country. So it is an off time for those in the workforce except in the medical and other fields that need 24/7 undisrupted services. While some may have spent the holiday on adventures, learning something new, or just getting some much-needed rest, others went to the streets and joined rallies or demonstrations. I read that such happened across major cities in Asia and Europe where people protested over rising prices and government labor policies.¹

I hope their pleas did not fall on deaf ears.

For us here in our lil kingdom, things were the same as any other normal day. Yesterday's short walk drained us out that we woke up late (almost 8 am), and even our little pup extended his snooze time.

But the downpour came so early before we could even do something outside. It's the month of May after all! That time when farmers can't work for half a day because rain usually comes (along with roaring thunder) at around 10 or 11 in the morning and lasts until the afternoon. Sometimes, it pours heavily for an hour or so and stops. Then suddenly, the sun peeks through and shines brightly like nothing happened.😅

So yes, the day was spent indoors like any other rainy day. I was at least productive for the most part, doing some airdrop thingy (adding stakes, bridging, swapping, and accumulating points) on DeBridge and Mode. ETH gas fees can be ridiculous so I had to keep checking until it was reasonable before making any transactions.

Of course, I did not forget it is HPUD, so I powered up some HIVE and received a confirmation from Hivebuzz within the day. Just a small amount but still an addition to my Hive Power, which now stands at 19,103.


Also during the day, I monitored the internal market. The HIVE's price dropped under 28 cents and had me swapping most of my liquid HBD for it.

I suspected it was due to HBD's price pumping, thanks (or no thanks depending on how you see it) to the Upbit exchanges (Korea & Indonesia). I was surprised both CEXes have over $3 million in 24H trading volumes for the HBD/BTC pair, which shows they have good liquidity.


The crypto market was in the red. I imagined many have panicked and pushed on the "sell" button. I'm sure some have been liquidated. Some people may have been waiting or merely observing, and the rare ones were buying, scooping more, and accumulating.

Meanwhile, I played a small part and added some transactions on Leodex by acquiring some ETH. I love how easy it is to swap HIVE and LEO for other assets off-chain and move them across various networks. I am hoping HBD gets added to the aggregator soon.

Based on the current stats, Leodex has just surpassed ThorSwap in terms of swap volume, count, and swap fees. The XDEFI wallet integration as one of the login methods might make more people use it.

Summing Up

May started well for me. I've never been that productive, especially in the last couple of months so it was surprising to have done more today, ironically on a Labor Day.😅 There are many things I would like to do and learn but sometimes, my not-so-good hormones kick in and I can't push myself to do them and end up lazying instead. So I'm glad to have accomplished a few of them today.

Happy HPUD (and Labor Day) everyone! Hope you're having a fantastic day, wherever you may be.

Amazing value of HP, hoping I can be able to save that kind of value. I'm just in a three-digit number. Not even 1/4 of the value you have now. Anyway, Congratulations. @ifarmgirl

Owz! Thank you for motivating me. It's a great help for me. I was feeling down at first as I read the post about HPUP, only to find out, I cannot join since I don't have the capacity to do so. But, now, it inspires me to continue, since it takes more than a year to achieve it. Hehehe, my account was created last year, but I only started blogging last month. I didn't have the chance to be part of incubation or curation. But, anyway, Congratulations on your achievement.

Just keep going :) I see you have HBD in your wallet. If you don't want to keep it as HBD, you can use it to buy HIVE and power it up :)
