Finally made it to 100k HP
In less than a month I will have been on this blockchain for seven whole years. I joined up a few months after it started when @the-bitcoin-dood suggested I give it a look. We had been on the Tsu platform that just got shut down. That one paid users from advertising income, but there was no blockchain involved. I made a few hundred dollars there over a couple of years. I donated some to charities and spent a little on things for myself, but it was not sustainable. When I saw this new site I could see how it had the potential to be much better. It did not rely on a single corporation and the value would be up to the crypto markets.
I am loathe to mention the 'S site' as it leaves a bad taste. When it was sold we could see things were not looking great, but the community was able to fork the blockchain to create Hive. My old account got censored for criticising the new management. I was still able to extract my funds, which I sold for $HIVE. That gave my account a big boost as every Hive account based on an existing one got equivalent tokens.
I do not hold significant amounts of other crypto. I have various Hive Engine tokens, but that is just a few hundred dollars. I have bought some $HIVE, but the bulk of it comes from posting and curation rewards by being active almost every day.
When I first joined up I had plenty of posts that made nothing. Meanwhile some others made thousands from a post as the rewards algorithm was different. I think at one point I needed 1000SP to give a vote of 1c.
Over the years I have seen the value of my account change massively. It has sometimes gone up or down by thousands of dollars overnight. As I have to wait to power down I just have to ride it out. The peak value was nearly $200k in late 2021, but it is worth a lot less now. If this platform can achieve its potential then I think it could go much higher.
I keep a log of various statistics for my account in a spreadsheet, but we have access to various tools online.
HiveStats shows what I have made recently.
On HiveBuzz you can see your rank for various factors. There are now 168 accounts with at least 100k HP. I hope to see that increase. Some familiar names are just ahead of me. We would have a lot more, but many people moved funds into HBD savings to get the nice income from that. I prefer to have HP that allows me to distribute rewards.
I rank higher for other things:
- 87th for comments
- 39th for replies
- 64th for upvoted
- 129th for reputation. I hit 78 last week
I do love statistics, so these are great facilities.
So what is my next milestone? It will take a long time to get to another significant number. It could take years just to double my HP, let alone reach Whale level (~560k). Getting my reputation to increment would take at least a year. I would like to get my effective HP to 100k as I delegate to various other accounts.
Of course I love that I can earn from Hive, but I have no immediate plans to power down. I would like the $HIVE price to be much higher before I consider that, so I should have a while to keep powering up. I get that others need the money now and that is fine. Hive is making life better for many people and that is really important.
Hive is all about potential. Anyone can make it here if they put in the work and do not try to game the system. We do have cliques, but I do not buy most of the stories about big accounts trying to keep the small ones down. There may be exceptions as online anonymity can be exploited for bullying. We get more upvotes than downvotes, so I think it balances out on the positive side.
Hive five!
Congratulations on the 78! On towards 79...Hive five!
!LUV
Congratulations! That is one hell of an achievement! One of these days I'll have to catch up to you!
an example for everyone, congrats mate
Cheers mate. I really want Hive to succeed, so do what I can to help. We cannot afford to just look for personal gain if we want that.
!BEER
Congrats dude! Its a great feeling hitting the 100K milestone. And seven years too soon. I think my seven year anniversary is Wednesday or something.
Heres to another seven and another 100K!
I would hope things are very different by 2030, but we have a struggle to get recognition.
We do. Heres hoping!
Congratulations on achieving this great milestone! May you continue inspiring others! Have a great day!
That is quite a goal to obtain. Congratulations.
I am still working on reaching dolphin... mostly so i can make account-tokens.
And if i do not fall out from depression, again, i might make it.
I am glad you stuck with it and kept publishing, even through the hard S times.
I keep publishing on S, wonder if i should sell that and move it here (like you did)... and if so, when during this bull cycle?
Anything I put on S with my original account would not be seen and I have no inclination to use that platform anyway. It got corrupted and, from what I've seen, the majority of rewards go to favoured accounts. I struggle to see why their token doesn't crash, but a few people may prop it up.
Congrats! That's a huge milestone, and from where I'm sat its very much deserved.
I forgot Hivebuzz had the table ranking thing, guess I'll go see how highly (or lowly) I feature on it!
You are still a pioneer as Hive is tiny. When millions join up it will be harder to earn.
!BEER
Many many congratulations on 100k Hp also congratulations on reaching 78 reputation.
A big congratulations to you 🙂
Wow - nice work - congrats !!!
Congrats, feels great to see Hivers who've been so consistent over the years stick to their activity and reach these milestones. Thanks for everything you've done for minnows and UK based users and everything else. Let's see where we're at after 10 years!
Cheers! I have gone all-in with Hive, but then I think it is worthy. We are part of a revolution, but still under the radar for now. I'm getting on, so I hope success does not take too long :)
Ehh, the way you run makes you at least 20 years younger! :D
LOL! Well I do beat some younger folk. I'm racing against age these days.
Many congratulations, impressive commenting especially!

ahh yes the TSU days , Congratulations on the 100k
Tsu was fun whilst it lasted, but didn't make it. A few Hivers I know were on it.
yeah the old #tsufamily tag , most people i know from TSU are stillactive here , i guess we where the early adapters
Well done. Congratulations on the 100k! Making it there is on my radar, but at least several years away.
Congrats on the milestone Steve and the 7 years! I am also an HP person and prefer to use my voting power rather than convert to HBD, at least for the moment anyhow.
That's nice i'm far away from this
Wow! Congratulations for reaching this milestone👏👏
A lot of people have come around and gave up on the way but you are still Hiving and piling up. Awesome!👌
Hopefully, I will get there someday too.
Congrats!

Congrats Steve and yes, we have come a long way since Tsu. My 100hp is still a mile away, but it doesn't bother me, as I enjoy what I do. And of course, I know that you also enjoy it.
Blessings and !BEER
You have been consistent in your support of Hive, so you deserve to do well.
Thank you and the same with you my friend.
!BEER
Congratulations! :-D
Cheers! I hope we will meet again at another Hivefest some time.
Unfortunately not this year ;-(
I wasn't planning to go to Mexico anyway.
Excellent and well deserved and a great number to achieve. I hope to join you in the 100 club over the coming months.
Will be great to have you join us. We can help spread the rewards.
!BEER
Congratulations Steeve! It has been a long journey, 7 years!
Hopefully the future will give us a lot of new innovations here!
Congratulations sir 🤗
That's one hell of a dedication to Hive and honestly I don't think I'll be able to do that 😅. I'm almost in my second year in Hive and I've powered down and cashed thrice I guess (financially needed the money) but hopefully I'll be able to save up more and let my HP grow as the years go by. You sure are one great example to all of us who started late 😎
I cannot wait for you to be seven years here...
That's a lot
Congratulations to you!!!
It's a good milestone and one that takes effort and consistency. Well done, and well deserved.
Cheers!
Well done, and keep going. You have way more motivation than me 😀
We each have different things that drive us. Money is not my primary one. I find this fun.
Congrats , mate! 🥳 It's a huge milestone , the stats look really nice
One day I want to be like you , is nice to see that is not impossible
Congrats!! You made it at last.
I remember when my wallet was at 200k at one time and that's when my stake was a lot lower, so yes, Hive does have the potential. Anyone who is here for short term rewards only will kick themselves in future.
I want to see far more people benefit from Hive. That's why I support the little guys.
Am I a little guy? ;o)
Fuck @spaminator - u got an upvote from me :D
Have a wonderful week <3
Btw - check out https://blurt.blog/ - same as hive, but without the downvotes ;)
Hit me up on Blurt to get a big, free vote ;D
Peace and love 💗
Thank you bro! See you soon over there hahaha. };)
I can't support everyone. My voting is mostly manual and my time is limited.
Oh yeah don't worry bro. I've already seen how limited is your time for at least 11 years. 7 over here in Hive and at least 4 more on TSU. LoL
That’s wild! Congratulations!

Hi friend, I'm still starting at Hive, but I really believe in the community. Congratulations on your journey. I hope that one day I can also contribute to the development of Hive! 👏
Wow! 100k is amazing!! Congrats!
Wow, I didn't realize that there were so few accounts with over 100k. Kind of scary though, I had hoped more people were invested.
Congrats on reaching that milestone!
The fact that you earned $20k from Posting and Curating is Huge on itself
Congratulation sir !
Very nice! Congrats!
Congrats, Steve! That's an amazing accomplishment! Someday I'll get to that level! (but by then, you'll be much further ahead)
Congratulations! It is a nice accomplishment to reach that level of commitment.
Wow! A big congratulations to you. You really did it to this goal. Keep it up.
Congrats. Very cool.
Rock On.!!

Nice one, i hope i get there next year.
Congratulations! What a journey!
Congrats
Congrats! I'm just going forward to 2k HP.
CONGRATULATIONS on the big 100K!
Congratulations on reaching this milestone
Also like you I prefer having HP than HBD because HBD has +8% APR or so more than HP but HP has more use cases and is worth more to me.
Your stats are really good and show that you are a great Hiver.
Amazing man, delighted for you!
Yeah, I don't think that's the case that big accounts push down the smaller ones, there are some great people here who want to see everyone build themselves up, as well as curation trails that help a lot of people out.
I like seeing the stats too, and those are some commendable ranks you have there.

Many many congratulations to this great and amazing achievement.
That's a crazy milestone to hit, brother man. Congrats though! I hit 7 years in January myself and was thinking about how much of a wild ride this whole thing has been. The old platform and this one have been such a big part of my life, it's so odd to think about. But, anywho. Keep killing it, dood! Can't wait to see where you're at in a few more years on here.
This platform was life-changing for me. I've met so many cool people through it. We have something special and I want far more to get involved.
Rock on!
!BEER
Well done, @steeve! Such a nice milestone.
Enjoy it.
That's amazing and great motivation. I've been on HIVE ~2 years now and just hit 6,000 HP. 10k is my next goal, but maybe 100k will be in sight in a few years!
Make it fun to keep motivated. We can build amazing things together.
Congrats! That is awesome!
Onya Steve!
I'm trying to use LEO and the SWAP.HIVE:SIM LP to build my HIVE stack faster.
Slowly chipping away at my own 100K target :)
I've used the other tokens to help get there. We have lots of options to play with. Keep building...

well done, that is quite an achievement!
I feel I've worked for it. My hourly rate may not be that great, but it's mostly fun.
Congrats mate! Honestly very impressive. This is certainly in part because of how supportive you have been of so many like us. Here is to your next 100,000HP!
Cheers. I'm having fun. I believe Hive can do a lot of good and want to help. I've said plenty of times that it has great potential for musicians. Have fun.
Very cool! Seven years.. wow..
I do have a fair chunk in savings right now but I plan to move it over to HP as soon as I feel it's enough to do that and keeping a base behind. I totally agree with you that HP should be used to acknowledge other people's work!
After all that's what it's all about!
Enjoy your achievement! Excellent! 👍😃
I'm not against people getting the benefits of savings. I have some myself that I may use to fund things like games.
Hive had been a fun journey for me. I'm happy you are part of that now.

Congratulations. 💯 K …. That’s a very big number. I hope to get there some day.
I'd love to see a thousand people up there. We need more orcas.
That would be awesome.., I’m over on Nostr, Twitter, Threads telling people about Hive…
it’s still complicated for new people to Join, but I think the Ecency.com sign up process is helping.

Greetings dear friends, many congratulations for that new goal and achieve to gather that great amount of hp in your account, it is certainly a great number and you can do many things and get very good numbers in healing, plus this is a sign of perseverance, dedication and be there every day improving. I recently reached 5000 HP and I am very happy, let's keep building and working @steeve
great post i think you will be an idol so i can take action to make my hive equal to yours
This is so inspiring. You've really come a long way, only passion and consistency can make this happen. What an achievement, congratulations!!
Congratulations! That is a great milestone and you deserve it with all the effort you put into the blockchain! Here is to 100K more!

Congrats Steve, Yes I found Hive again ;) . no serious...lot of things were going on here.
Hope to be more constructive on Hive again, we'll see !! have a great day.
Hey! We missed you. Hope things are good with you. Lots happening on Hive for you to catch up with.
!BEER
Thanks Steve, Will catch up for sure !!... Things are well (again) , so in for a new boost into hive :) Great reading you are still going strong on the blockchain, respect!!!
Sweet. I'm only here a week but hopefully I can make it some day.
You have to start somewhere. Hive is quite different to 7 years ago and it can be harder to get noticed. You need to find your audience of those who share your interests. Do what's fun for you and see how it goes.

Nice milestone dude congrats!!!
Dang you beat me by a little congrats!
It looks like you will be there soon. I hope to see a few more make it this year.

Damn @steevc. Many many congratulations good ser!!! This is crazy stuff. Take a bow
It's a big milestone and I cannot even imagine where you will be in 10 years from now.
That's a beautiful milestone that surely makes both you and the people of the community proud to have
you around :) Congrats!
Well done, Congrats!
It is very true, hive has helped many people not only financially, but also to boost our careers, for example, here I share all my events and videos that I do in external environments, hive has helped me a lot when I bought my first electric violin With this platform and my audio card to continue growing with my violin and many more people meet me and enjoy my art, it is what drives me the most to continue here, I also hope to have much more HP to give rewards right now I give little but I hope in the future to be able to give bigger rewards. Greetings
That is exactly what I love to see here. I bought a nice guitar with what I made. Hive can change lives, especially where incomes are low. I want to see lots more musicians on here.

Wow!! That's awesome!!
Fantastic work Steev! I'm very pleased. That's amazing work for "just" seven years. I had assumed most people had invested thousands of their real-world £ to get to these kinds of levels. This shows what is possible when you invest yourself into the platform rather than just money.
I've put on a lot of time, but the hourly rate may not be great. I still enjoy it.
