I took the photo from hive.io community and rearranged it.

Hi Friends

Today, I have reached over 1000 Hive Power which is an important milestone for me on HIVE. I have been a member of HIVE for 4 years and 6 months. Considering this period, reaching 1000 HP may not be very important, but I think it is important in terms of motivation. Sure, I have not done this period of 4 years and 6 months membership to the fullest. When I first became a member of HIVE (Steemit back then), the existence of a strong team supporting projects and competitions contributed greatly to both personal and account development of new members such as me. This situation lasted for about 4-5 months. Afterwards, I started to be less active in HIVE due to a number of reasons such as the separation of Steemit into HIVE and Steemit, workloads and time constraints. Until the middle of 2021, I had dropped by HIVE from time to time and shared a few posts, but I had never left HIVE.

I had about 590 Hive Power in August of 2021. I have started to be more active on HIVE from August on. Meanwhile, we have started talking again with the few remaining friends in our Hive Türkiye Discord channel. Thereafter, some ex-members who had left their accounts as they were returned. Depending on the developments in Turkish Community, Trliste has started to be active again after three years and has started to support posts written in Turkish with tr tag. My activity on HIVE has also increased gradually by posting, upvoting and commenting on posts thanks to @ecency DApp.

2021 was the year in which I shared the most posts, read the most posts, upvoted the most posts, received the most upvotes, commented on the most posts, and received the most comments on HIVE. I think that I achieved my first goal by doing even more in the first seven months of 2022. I have still kept going this way. Besides, I have also joined the HIVE Power Up Day since April 2022 and I have powered up 31 HIVE till then. If it wasn't for the Ecency DApp, perhaps I wouldn't be this much active on HIVE. However, there is also a DApp released by the @leofinance team.

I see HIVE as a long-term investment. For this reason, I regularly use the HIVE I receive from author and curation rewards to power up, while I transfer HBD into my savings account and get 20% annual interest yield. I have never drawn them from my wallet and used for any other purpose. There might be people who need this income from HIVE, I have no words for them; however, I am in favor of powering up HIVE rewards up to a goal for a stronger account and the community. This goal can be 1000 HP, 5000 HP, 10.000 HP.

I would like to thank whole HIVE family who supported me through this period.

My next goal is to reach 1250 Hive Power. May everyone achieve their goals on HIVE, thank you for reading.
