Day of 2026-01-18: Sunday Stagnation & the Yield Engine Pivot
I have updated my records through January 18, 2026. This Sunday has been a study in "patience vs. action." While the broader $HIVE market remains stagnant, failing to even reclaim the 10.4-cent mark.
My Portfolio Status (Jan 17 vs. Jan 18)
I have continued my aggressive "buy the floor" strategy for $SURGE I also took on slightly more $BTC debt to capitalize on these ecosystem discounts.
Asset | My Qty (Jan 17) | My Qty (Jan 18) | Net Change | Current Value ($HIVE) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
$SURGE | 194.107 | 204.471 | +10.364 | 283.07 |
$BTC (Debt) | -7.908e-05 | -9.183e-05 | -1.275e-05 | 49.95 |
$LOLZ | 90,044.71 | 90,046.37 | +1.66 | 70.97 |
$TNVDA | 76.930 | 76.930 | -- | 1182.89 |
$TTSLA | 55.238 | 55.238 | -- | 1618.86 |
$LTC (Debt) | -1.3847 | -1.3847 | -- | 3309.89 |
From "Buyer" to "Farmer"
I am leaning into the volatility. Even though the paper value of my liquid $SURGE stack dropped today, I have crossed a massive psychological barrier by entering the yield phase.
The Yield Pivot: I have officially staked 766.448 $SURGE. By locking this away for yield, I am no longer just waiting for price appreciation; I am actively compounding my "share of the pie" while the market is quiet.
Macro Headwinds
The "weekend run" for $HIVE never materialized for this weekend. We are pinned below 10.4 cents, but the internal volume tells a different story:
$SURGE Dominance (65.45%): It remains the primary engine of activity in my ecosystem.
BTC Volume Spike (11.22%): I noticed BTC volume jumping to the #2 spot. This correlates with global news like Coinbase withdrawing support for the CLARITY Act in the US, causing a localized stir.
Institutional Context: While US legislation hits a "pause," South Korea's lifting of the corporate crypto ban and DZ Bank's launch of meinKrypto for BTC, ETH, and LTC provide a rock-solid global floor.
