Today I reached 600 Hive Power + I started staking POB and LEO tokens for the first time (2021.10.03)
600 Hive Power
I am slowly on my way to the dolphin status. Thank you to everyone for the support. I also try to support others, but nowadays my upvote is worth only around $0.015, so I usually give tokens to others by reward calls, for example Luv and Pizza. Despite the low value of my upvote I also upvote comments (mostly under other people's posts).
Staking POB and LEO?
Yes. I decided to start staking POB and Leo tokens for the first time.
You can see on the screenshot above that I have some POB and LEO tokens. Well, today I staked 14.49 POB (currently worth around $1.92 USD) and 5.28 LEO (currently worth around $1.14 USD).
The two (all of my current POB + LEO) tokens currently worth around $3.06 USD. This is not that much, but still better than nothing, and I think that it is a good start.
What inspired me to do this?
I honestly tell you. Recently I received some good upvotes from @onealfa. And there is also the fact that I sold enough from these tokens in the past to be able to buy a Samsung Galaxy A12. The camera of this smartphone is very good. Or rather cameras, because it has four. Quad camera. I love experimenting with the settings during taking photos. Nowadays I regularly upload photo posts, and lately I started getting some good upvotes on some of these posts. I think that it will be good in long term. Probably I just/only need to be consistent with the posting.
Again, thank you to everyone for the support.
I am happy and grateful for every upvote and meaningful comment.
Have a nice Sunday. All the best.
Congrats @xplosive that's what hive is all about to help by rising others
I believe in the same (everyone should help others, so everyone would be helped, and this platform would be successful), so I also try to support others with what I can. I give you some !PIZZA. I hope that more and more people will follow this good example.
@emeka4! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @xplosive.

Try saving up more HP. Those tokens are worthless.
I'll help; I'll keep voting.
Hope to see you continuing to do the same for others.
I am trying, and I am grateful for the support, but reaching 600 HP took me more than one year. It is not easy. Most of my posts/comments are earning cents. There are few exceptions, when I receive good upvote(s), and I earn one or more dollars with a single post, but actually I usually earn less than $15 USD worth of Hive per month.
Well, it took me 5 years to reach 50k.
I am living proof; it is possible.
You are one of the very few. Most of the people cannot even earn 1000 Hive power in 1 year.
5 years is a long time, someone I met on hive recently degated 5000HP to me and it still doesn't look easy building my HP
PS: I just returned to hive after being away for three years(steemit era)
Lot of good people around hive. I love to appreciate positive comments when I see them. Thanks a lot.
Looks like not everyone is agree with me. One hour ago @erikah ignored me.
How that works? First time i saw this 😆lol. How it knows he ignored you?

I do not know. A few people ignored (probably muted) me in the past, and Ecency notified me about it.
Oh, thats a really weird feature 🤔, bc all i know is for someone be muted, have to be down voted a lot.
Probably is something like he read the post but didn't voted it, comment it or reblog it

Well I think it's good to at least have some stake in the communities you are posting in. You will definitely be ahead of the pack so long as you show up because there are plenty of people who don't.

Congratulations on your growth :) You might want to get some photography suggestions from @bluefinstudios and @tattoodjay
Thank you for the suggestions. I know @tattoodjay. I visit his posts from time to time. Sometimes I comment under his posts. I also heard about @bluefinstudios once or twice, but I currently do not know much about his posts. I will try to visit their posts more often.
You won't be sorry, they are truly artists :)
