🐝 Saturday Savers Week 46 — All Goals Reached!
TL;DR: It finally happened: all 2025 goals reached! HP ✅ HBD ✅ EDSI ✅ BBHO ✅ BXT ✅ LEO ✅ Now it’s time to reflect, plan for 2026, and take a moment to breathe.
This week marks a milestone I’ve been building toward all year: every single one of my 2025 Saturday Savers goals is now officially ticked off. Hive Power? ✅ 15,176 HP -> check. BBHO? ✅ Over 11,500 and counting. EDSI? ✅ Sitting at a cozy 280. BXT? ✅ Locked in past 500. LEO? ✅ Steady growth past 545. And HBD? ✅ Done weeks ago.
Feels pretty damn good to see the spreadsheet finally turn completely green. It’s the kind of visual dopamine hit only spreadsheet nerds and Hive addicts can truly understand.
Now comes the tricky part: what’s next? Do I rest for the last few weeks of the year? Absolutely not. I’m still cruising, staking, curating, and building, while thinking hard about my 2026 goals. Should I go for 25,000 HP? Maybe even 30,000 HP? Push HBD toward 2,500? Or start stacking DUO to climb the richlist there? (Currently sitting around 1,079 DUO, and that’s just not brag-worthy yet 😏).
💻 Development & Witness Work
This week wasn’t all celebration though. I’ve been wrestling with some payout script tantrums again. Between Hive Engine’s occasional instability, rate limits, and, let’s be honest, some of my own human error, it’s been a “learning through chaos” type of week. But hey, learning’s learning!
Meanwhile, all three @botlord witnesses kept humming steadily on Hive, Hive-Engine, and VSC. A solid run, no downtime, no drama. So if you haven’t yet, go throw a vote my way:

🧠 Life Beyond Hive
Life, of course, keeps doing its thing. My youngest is preparing for surgery soon, so a lot of energy has gone into organizing, preparing, and trying to keep everyone’s spirits up. Our daughter’s situation has been… complicated too, wheelchair fittings, medical meetings, logistics, and emotions all rolled into one big “life before Hive” reminder.
So yes, Hive is my fun, my creative outlet, and my digital garden — but family always comes first. I’m balancing it as best as I can, and that means sometimes I’m less active here, but trust me, I’m still watching, still building, still here.
🧩 Wrapping It Up
So yeah, this week’s theme is gratitude and growth. I’m beyond thankful for how this community supports and inspires consistency. Whether it’s savings, staking, or building cool tools, it’s all part of the same game: showing up every week and making small progress, even when life throws curveballs.
Let’s keep jivin’, keep hivin’, and keep learning. 2025 goals? Done. 2026 goals? Loading...

Huge congratulations on achieving all of your 2025 goals, brother, that's seriously incredible, and thank you so much again for your payout-script coding wizardry, as well as for your HIVE contribution/sacrifice to the cause! I really hope that everything goes well with your kids, and I know it can't be easy, especially on top of everything else that you're juggling. You're still smashing it on Hive exceptionally well! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Although way too little time to spend on Hive as I would love to, smashing them goals was my outlet for the past period :-) And the hardest part is yet to come! So be prepared ;-) lol
Yup, so now thinking about the new goals for 2026… I think DUO will be involved in it. And perhaps EDSD is as well… but running some simulations on that one first ;-)

I'm sure that it felt fantastic indeed. Oh lordy, you don't say? I like DUO, but since I only have like 211, I have a looonnnngggg way to go on that one. I still don't have any EDSD yet. Maybe at some point. I'm narrowing my focus down on some excellent diesel/liquidity pools, of course! I haven't even thought about my 2026 goals yet...lol! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When they released the first batch of DUO, I immediately bought me around 1k of them, to get the medium advantages package :-D lol
And I must say, I certainly do like it! The price has gone up with 50% in the meantime, so that’s a win, and they pay out between 0.3 and 0.5 Hive per day, plus upvotes. Me love :-)

You seized the opportunity well. I hesitated, and didn't get in until quite a bit later. Now I'm just slowly growing my DUO from Bradley's drips and tips. Even at my level, it does pay out pretty well, I will say. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Indeed it does, especially with my consistency over time, things really add up! Yes, I noticed that, and I very much appreciate it, brother, thank you! Well, it's always a wonderful surprise when you do appear, and not just for the DUO! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Wow oooo, you are very much a hard worker, for having completed all your 2025 set goals in all ramifications that's so, so good to hear.
Even in the midst of your children's health crisis, you still went above board.
This is seriously a beautiful score card for this year's report..... Weldon 👏👏🎉.
Thank you very much!!! Yes, even amidst all that. Or perhaps just because of all that... It often gives me a push to not sit down and wait, but to lean in and go harder...
