17k HP moving up the rankings and Happy HPUD

**Hello Hello Hivians happy first of the month** Traditionally the first of the month on the Hive blockchain is a day to celebrate the community and power up some of our level 1 Token $HIVE  Before this I have some great news! I hit 17k in Hive Power yesterday or the day before, suffice to say I am fair chuffed about that! Then I heard that VIBES, that in my eyes, well shady project has been cancelled, so that will stop one drain on our funds. Next up the rally car... ### First things first ... This was my HP ...  Power Up 10 Hive...  which then gives us a total of 17,037 and yes I know it is not much to all the people who came from Steem.  And then I got proof of my wee buzz from @hivebuzz  But I think it shows I care about Hive and what happens here... The other badge I showed on my lead image which I created in Canva by the way is from here ...  ### 55000 fluffing comments in 4 years! Am chuffed with that too!  ### I am pretty fluffing chuffed and thought I would do a comparison post again! The last time I did this I had just hit 15k in July... ### Figures and Stats from [HiveBuzz](https://hivebuzz.me/ranking) By the way, I hope if you like seeing the gamification on Hive that you vote for the DHF proposal. It is below the threshold yet we handover thousands daily to the valueplan... What about looking after the users that are here with a fun experience... ### HP Ranking is 880th with a HP of 17027  >HP Ranking is 956th with a HP of 15001  **So in the space of three months I have moved up from 956th 880th in staked Hive. That came as a huge shock. How many people are powering down and leaving Hive?** 2000 HP Oct 2022 [2000 HP and My 10th Consecutive Hive Power up Day](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@tengolotodo/2000-hp-and-my-10th-consecutive-hive-power-up-day) 6000 HP Sept 2023 [Hitting 6k Hive Power on HivePUD for September](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@tengolotodo/hitting-6k-hive-power-on-hivepud-for-september) 7300 HP Jan 2024 [Happy New Year and enjoy powering up in 2024](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@tengolotodo/happy-new-year-and-enjoy-powering-up-in-2024) 15000 HP July 2025 [Hitting 15k Hive Power as a new Bumble Bee on hive!](https://peakd.com/hive-189306/@tengolotodo/hitting-15k-hive-power-as) ### Reputation is 313th place with a rep of 77.34  >Reputation is 365th place with a rep of 76.89 Again another big rise of 52 places from 365th to 313rd! I know there is a lot of griping about the Reputation system. I do think it is a good indicator to see if someone has contributed to the ecosystem. I know in my case it is because I do write posts quite often and I get some tasty votes. But as the old adage goes ... You gotta be in it to win it! ### Posts are well down the rankings with 1049 posts and 3239 place.  >970 posts and 3568th place. As these rankings are not just for Hive but include data from the chain it forked from. There are umpteen users who were active there and made loads of posts and rewards who are not active here. Nevertheless I am chuffed with 1049 posts... and a rise of 330 places or so! ### My Mini Challenge Get to 18k HP by year end and 57500 comments by year end! Yes this is a stretch and I did complete the mini challenge I set myself in July! >My mini challenge ... to make 1000 posts before my 4th Hive birthday in September! I did that! ### Comments ... I fluffing love this one ... ### 55039 comments puts me in 131st place!  >52388 comments puts me in 133rd place! A rise of 2 places. Hive/Steem has been going for 10 years, and yet in 4 years I have got into 131st place that is my best achievement I reckon, and more proof I believe in Hive and am positive in the ecosystem no matter what some users think!  ### A wee word of thanks **Thank you to everyone that makes my time so much fun here on Hive.** I am a firm believer that if that something is fun you will keep doing it again and again. For any newcomers here, then I urge you to make meaningful engagement, it then becomes fun and you will grow. **Let's keep rocking Hive!**
