Progress and Strategies in SaturdaySavers Club Week 6

Hello everyone! How’s your Week 6 going? 🚀 As usual, I’m here to share my progress on Hive this week and my goals for 2025 as part of the Saturday Savers Club.

By the way, the price of HIVE is still in a stagnant trend, hovering around $0.294, although it briefly spiked to $0.32 a few days ago. This fluctuation can be nerve-wracking, but it also presents an opportunity for those looking to power up more Hive at a lower price.

So, how did this week go? Let’s dive in!

Goal 1: Reaching 7,500 Hive Power (HP)
Last week, my Hive Power stood at 3,919 HP, and this week, it has increased to 3,990 HP. That’s a gain of 71 HP, getting close to my weekly target of 76 HP.

Key factors contributing to this progress:
✅ Consistently writing, though I missed two days.
✅ Some articles were set to 100% power-up, which significantly boosted my HP.
✅ The lower HIVE price increased the HP payout from curation rewards.

Reflection on the target:
While I fell 5 HP short of the weekly goal, overall, I'm still on track. Moving forward, I need to be more disciplined in writing to avoid missing days. I’ll also continue maximizing power-ups from my posts.

Goal 2: Accumulating 25,000 SPS Splintershards
Last week, my staked SPS was at 16,689 SPS, and after another 7 days of battling, it has increased to 16,822 SPS—a gain of only 133 SPS, compared to my weekly target of 180 SPS.

What affected my SPS gains?

• I’m still battling daily and earning decent rewards from guild brawls thanks to my team’s solid performance.
• However, I started this season in the Gold league, where competition is much tougher. This made it harder to earn as much SPS compared to fighting in lower leagues.

Reflection on the target: This week's SPS earnings didn’t meet my target. One possible strategy is to push for Diamond league, but the competition there is even fiercer. For now, I’m still in Gold league, but I may consider dropping down next season for more stable rewards.

Challenges This Week
The volatile HIVE price remains something to watch. It dipped below $0.29 several times before bouncing back to $0.31. This is likely due to the overall sluggish crypto market.

Another challenge is my increasing workload at my day job, making it harder to balance work and Splinterlands. I’ll need to be more disciplined in scheduling my writing and battles to maintain consistency.

Additional Plans
This week, I’ve started exploring Hive Engine’s Layer 2 tokens, particularly HELIOS. I’ve also accumulated a decent amount of EDSI, which I plan to continue stacking as part of my Layer 2 portfolio.

Additionally, I’ll focus more on accumulating Hive Power by trading Hive during price fluctuations. This could be an alternative way to grow my HP without relying solely on power-ups from writing.
