Hi fellow Lions,
Today I wanted to appreciate checking out the recent curation rewards I'm bringing in!
Double Double
Every few months I'll take a look at some of my account stats, and this recent time it was pretty cool!
I don't try to constantly look at it, but I do take a peek periodically. It's nice seeing gradual growth in things, even if they are hobbies for the most part. The growth I've seen on the Hive side has been really cool, and one of the recent milestones I've hit semi-consistently was great to see! All doubles in the curation side of the house!
I mentioned a few months ago that the curation for my account is slowly but consistently catching up to my author rewards. I am not at all complaining about the author rewards because they are decent when it comes down to it, some days it's higher, some days it's lower but almost every day these days, the curation outpaces the author rewards. It's only a matter of time before curation closes the gap and passes the author rewards! That's a really awesome milestone to hit for sure.
I know it would be cool to see the Hive ecosystem get more attention and love in terms of the markets, but I really don't mind too much what it's doing. Hive tends to crabwalk sideways for a really long time but then shoot up, level off and do some more crab walking. I think it's okay when it does this because it has a level of consistency that's what we all need.
The fluctuations of Bitcoin are cool and all, but in order for something to really be considered some type of financial usability asset, it needs consistency. Fluctuations are risky, even if it goes up really high. It's not able to maintain the highs too much and that ends up hurting it a bit more than it helps. With Bitcoin, being the most popular of the digital assets, it's not really a big deal but the ones that are less popular it can certainly become problematic.
I know that being able to slowly, but surely, gain more and more Hive Power for me is a pretty good situation to be in. I don't plan to sell any of it in any real-terms anytime soon, which may or may not be a foolish thing, but I am of the crowd that isn't here for the environment to be a cash cow. There are plenty of people milking the system like a leech that I want to be in the crowd that keeps a decent portfolio for the eventual situations where if it does fluctuate up really high, we can skim some profits off the top to then insulate us for when it does come back down eventually.
It's a strange thing to see though sometimes, where my Hive Power is landing me curation rewards in numbers that, remembering my account years ago, I would be getting this amount of rewards in a week. Now I am able to accumulate these in a day, and do it seven days a week. It's a wild thing to think about!
I think the rewards coming in like this has been an interesting thing because I also see the sort-of exponential growth of it. At the start of the year I was hoping to hit 50k Hive Power by the end of the year, which was a decent goal. I hit that a few months ago and one of the big contributors to that, besides the author rewards, was the curation rewards really boosting things forward. I don't have the greed mindset, where I want more and more and more, but rather I appreciate having the slow growth in the various things in my life. Eventually the growth picks up speed though!
What about you, have you noticed that your curation rewards are picking up, the more you're on the Hive ecosystem? Let me know in the comments!
