Woot! What a fine Sublime Sunday for me to see that little notice in my feed this morning. I'm also now #278 for the most Hive Power Powered up.
It finally happened, after a little over 5 years on the blockchain, I made Orca status. This came through some timely investments at the 20 cent and 30 cent range, and some more recent at the 50 cent area. The rest and majority just through daily curation and a weekly post or two. I find it very rewarding to earn Hive through posts and photography. I have yet to power down or withdraw, but have made some nice value there and am excited to keep hodling a while longer until reaping the rewards.
I've been edging closer and watching for awhile now. I thought I was going to hit it last PUD, but was just a little shy. I decided to invest a bit more this week to put me over the edge and get that darn badge, lol.
Wondering where you're at? Check out your stats on HIVEBUZZ
Looking forward to seeing what the new Hive Bee name equivalent will become. Big Bee, Power Bee, Princess Bee, lol.
This is what the rest of my Sublime Sunday will look like, flying high with the other big bees. :) Now setting my sights on whale. Looks like a lot more swimming and buzzing for that step!
Welcome to the orca family~
I remember when the same event happened to me I had a sense of responsibility to our community and was determined to keep Hive growing in ways I can within my ability. Lets keep the engine running! :) and congrats.
It finally happened. 🤩 ☘️ 🤩 ☘️ 👍

I don't know there is any real tangible benefit other than the vote value, but it does feel like an accomplishment for sure. I found myself slowly watching it creep closer the last few months, and finally decided to just toss in a little extra to make it over the hump.
Yes, I understand. Like you said it still is a great accomplishment 😎🤩
Hehehe 🤭 it did help for sure just to get you over that. I’m trying to get to Dolphin before I’m one year old in December without putting fiat in. It should be reachable 🤓🤞🏻🤞🏻If I keep up. Just slowed down a little when I was sick and now our house move. But picking it right up again 😉
Have a great new week 👋🏻

(and yes, that's an Orca in the gif...lol)
Well done, @ksteem! I was hoping to be closer to Orcahood myself by now (especially since September is my 5 year mark) but hoping to catch up to where you are relatively soonish. Congratulations!
I saw I just leap-frogged you not long ago. I decided to drop some additional in at the last PUD and then again this week to make that final splash! Be looking over my shoulder for you to come whizzing by soon!
Congratulations, that's not an easy feat there, I mean, sometimes people underestimate the value that comes from curating alone.. I'm happy to Hodl as you too.
Exactly right. I feel it fits the model well, and why I chose Hive over others. I'm not really in to playing the market back and forth.
Congratulations mate, I really want to get to this level, but I find I can multiply my hive much better if I keep it liquid.
Yes, different strokes. I'm not really into playing the market much, that's why I chose Hive over others, more into the curation and social aspect. I really like just making some money from my photo hobby, and the money actually comes second.
Congratulations on becoming an Orca @ksteem 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks, it's been a journey for sure.
Congratulations you big ORCA!!! I'm so slow! I need to stop giving my money away!
That is awesome, Kris! How does it feel???? 😀
Yes, I've been hoarding my Hive for a bit. It took me a few good PUDs while the price was down to make some additional invests, but yes it feels good to have that bigger fish icon that I was wanting for so long.
I get it!! That is truly awesome!
Congratulations .... I don't think I will ever reach Orca or Whale Status since I am putting all my Hive into HBD. Or does HBD count ?
