About 23 days ago, I started a crazy challenge in which I plan to reach my yearly hive goals by powering up 3172 hive in 28 days. There are now 5 days remaining until the end of the year.
As of today, I have 71'305 Hive powered up on my main account. This means that I'm still 695 Hive shy of reaching my target. With 5 days remaining, the time is short.
When I started the challenge, I set a benchmark in which I calculated that I had to add 117 hive power every single day to reach my goal. According to my benchmark, I should have today 71'519 Hive. This means that I'm 214 hive behind bechmark. Considering that I was once 641 above benchmark, this shows that my staking rate was quite low in the past days.

At the beginning of the challenge, I used the easily available sources to power up like liquid HBD, swap.hive and other assets that I could liquidate without problems. After that however, things started to get more difficult. I could rely on the organic growth of my stake on curation rewards and on author rewards. I also managed to draw some funds from hive-engine but in general the growth has become much slower.
My plan for the last 5 days
Unfortunately from now on, I can't count on new posts for adding to the total. There are only two posts left that will reach payment before the end of the year. Even this post will be due after the end of the year.
My secret weapon is the interest payments from my HBD stake. I will be able to claim these interests in 4 days. If my calculations are correct, I will get 180 HBD that I will be able to swap for hive. This should add at least 500 hive to the total.
I believe that I should get about 100 hive from organic growth and curation rewards in the remaining 5 days. Then there are the two posts that should also bring in something like 20 hive each.
If I pull all this together, I'm actually quite close to the necessary 695 hive. I plan to find the difference in the form of hive-engine tokens that I can swap.
The challenge is more demanding that I expected
I have to say that I thought that I would be able to complete this challenge quite easily but it has been more difficult than I expected. The positive thing is that I increased the posts that I produced and it made me think about what kind of goals I would set for the next year. Overall it has been a worthy challenge that I set for myself. A challenge should be achievable but it should also not be too easy that it requires some efforts to reach it. That is definitely the case :-)

I really like these types of challenges! I don't have any goals to achieve at the moment, I finished my challenges in November. I'm literally on vacation (including from Hive).
You have a good amount of HBD generating interest, that's great, and even with 15% per year we can still enjoy the confidence of the stability of this token that is always at our disposal. I wish you a great new year!
In november I was so far from my goals that this special challenge was necessary. The HBD interests really are cool. I wish you nice holidays!
That's amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it!!
It really helps to focus on few things and put all your energy to it :-)
I hope you will get less HIVE for 180HBD... 😜 As that would mean that HIVE went up... 😂 hahahaha
Just kidding! I'm sure you will make it! Almost there... :)
Well if hive goes up, I don't mind that much either lol. At today's prices it would be more than 500 hive so I expect a price increase ;-)
Maybe you could start an onlyfans page and charge for people to look at your feet 🦶
Using other people’s foot fetish’s to supply your hive fetish 😉🤣
That's a good plan. I have to try it out 😂
That's a nice chunk of HBD you get as interest which covers most of your needs! I'm convinced you will achieve this challenge, even if it hasn't been easy. But that's why it was called a challenge, right?
I believe that the HBD interests will be the decisif factor to reach my goals. It's nice to be able to count on that income :-)
I want to count on a good HBD interest in the future too. But also plan to increase my HP for the next bull market, so let's see how I manage to make this work.
Well done, even if more challenging than anticipated, I'm happy to see the growth! !BBH
In the end whether I reach my goal or not, the growth is there all the same :-)
You're so close that I bet you will reach the goal!

There's just one last effort left. I think you'll succeed.
I think it should be possible to reach the goal if hive doesn't climb too much in price in the coming days lol
Your are almost there! Don't give up! 😜
I won't give up with the finishline in sight ;-)
Men! You have really achieved much.
It took a lot of time and efforts to get there :-)

You will have to wait for the hbd in savings to withdraw, 3 days.
So, you can't really count that.
That sounds like a decent plan, but I think you might have to pull out that HBD early. There is 3 days for withdrawing funds. So I would check how much you would get as interest and pull that out before the deadline.
