I guess I’m just not paying attention. I do little power ups all the time, dribs and drabs from posting earnings and delegation payments. But for SPUD and now HPUD, I’ve rarely done them on the actual day, usually a little before or a little after. This month was no exception:

It was from most of a Steem powerdown payment from two weeks ago, just after Steem’s HF23. @blocktrades had stopped doing Steem to Hive conversions so I thought I was being smart by doing a memo transfer to @ionomy, not realizing that their Steem wallets were in maintenance mode. Live and learn. But I was eventually able to do Steem —> BItcoin —> Hive trades.

Before the Steem/Hive fork, it was pretty clear that I had almost no chance to ever make it to Orca. I had a bit over 19K Steem Power, but it’s a long way from there to Orca, especially having recently retired, with now little discretionary income that could be used for crypto purchases. But after the fork, I’ve been powering down Steem, getting away from the rotting corpse that Justin Sun now controls.

And I’ve been powering up here:

Still powering down Steem so, depending on exchange rates, I might be able to get to 34 or 35,000 Hive Power by late June. Still aways away from Orca but making Orca might now be plausible within a year or two if I reinvest all my earnings and make a few crypto buys here and there.

I’m here for the long haul. Ideally, I’ll never power down.
