HPUD August 2024 - Powered up 2000 Hive We are getting into August and today is the power-up day. Something makes me feel that this year is going very fast compared to the last year. We are already very close to the end of the year. The price of Hive is still in the downtrend and I would say that now is the right time to accumulate more Hive. When the next bull market happens and if the price of Hive hits over 1 dollar, it will be a great opportunity to book some profits. To…
Why should people join Hive? This has been one of the hottest questions these days. We are making a lot of efforts to onboard many people to Hive. We are getting people from other platforms but the hard thing is to make them invest or retain them. When we are marketing about Hive, we need strong selling points to project that Hive is a great ecosystem and why people should learn about it and invest in this platform. **Earn from blogging** This is the most common and primary…
Challenging to set a fixed amount as retirement goal Sometimes we might think of having a fixed value as our retirement goal and work towards that. But because the value of money keeps changing and our needs keep changing every day, it is hard to fix an amount and work towards that. For example, someone who is living as a single might have smaller expenses but when the person gets married the costs increase, and when we have our kid the expenses spike even further. With all…
Story based games on Blockchain Games play a very important role in the future of blockchain tech. Many games are going to be on Blockchain making use of the features of blockchains. We need more big companies to get involved and create games on Blockchain. Some games are already in development and some games are thinking about entering the web3 space. When it comes to games, people look for fun elements and they don't usually look for a facility to earn by playing games.…
Startups willing to do projects in Web3 I was approached by one of the start-up companies. They wanted to do some web3 projects to add them to the portfolio of their company website. Many companies have started doing this because they would like to enter into the crypto space. Some countries also try to have their base in countries like Malaysia or Singapore which is a crypto-friendly country and easy to deal with the government and taxation. Some projects are funded by…
Challenges in operating a IT Business Sometimes we might think that having a business can be the best thing. But sometimes that makes us realize that business is not for everyone and it is good to work for someone rather than work as an individual. A few factors must be considered before we decide to start our IT business. This article is not to just scare about all the negative aspects of running our own business but to understand the risks involved. In spite of these…
Use of AI in coding industry In the last few months, AI has been doing an amazing job in multiple places. I have to say that this technology is maturing little by little. In the future, we might have a fully matured technology with us. I have a few free extensions in my VS Code that provide me with coding suggestions. Especially when I'm doing some boring or repetitive tasks, these extensions auto-fill the code and ask me if that is okay. This is where my work is made simple…
Choosing photo editing and video editing as a career option Recently I have been getting a few offers where people need someone to edit their videos for YouTube. This has become a vital profession these days and people are looking for someone with innovative skills who would shoot the video and give it to the editor and the editors should be creative to make the video attractive. I was surprised to see that people are ready to pay a decent amount of money for this. This has…
Demand for Blockchain integration Engineers There are many projects in the crypto space that have not reached completion state because of a lack of blockchain integration engineers. Some ideas are very good and the people with those ideas are finding it hard to implement the ideas because this technology is pretty new and there are not enough blockchain integration engineers. Some blockchains like Hive are very tough to get started because of poor documentation. Despite all…
Some earning options for people with full time jobs Today the world is moving in a direction where a lot of inflation is happening which makes it not enough to have just one source of income. There is a need for additional sources of income so that we can move the next step towards desires from fulfilling our basic needs. Currently, the income we earn is only helping us fulfill our basic needs. Living in countries that are still developing makes it hard too. There is an…
Artificial Intelligence Race is getting faster To gain good recognition in the fast-growing business world, it is essential to participate in the Artificial Intelligence race. Many companies have started participating in this race. Whatever product companies have, they have started integrating AI and ML into their products. There are genuinely some use cases and need for AI in some of the products but not all the products need an AI element inside it. It just becomes a…
Recession is slowly upon us We have started to have appraisal and salary hike conversations with the employees in our company. The market outside is not very great for someone quitting the job now and joining a new company. Unless they have the right skills, it is not very easy to get jobs this year. At least that's what I found with my friends. They say this has been the case with many companies and many people find it hard to get a new job because the opportunities are…
BCH is slowly increasing in value Many coins are very silent in the market but year after year have been showing some improvements in price. I don't know what hot projects we have on BCH but from what I noticed, once it used to be a highly rewarding blockchain because people were able to make money from read.cash and noise.cash. Today I'm not sure if there are any other avenues to earn BCH. I still try to contribute to read.cash whenever possible and a very tiny amount of…
Finding out the right passive income for us There are several materials online that are directing people towards passive income. Today earning passive income has become the trending keyword and many people are towards that, especially after COVID-19, many people think that having a secondary income or a passive income is important because we cannot trust our full-time jobs. That's where this keyword has become very popular and people keep looking for ways to earn some…
South India to become a new hub for electronics soon When I studied Engineering, Computer Science was the craze and it was the hottest thing to study back then. I never knew that but only later after we passed out I came to know about all these things. But I know one thing for sure that people who studied Electrical and Electronics or Electronics and communication or Bio-Medical Engineering did not have enough jobs. Compared to them, it was a great opportunity for computer…
Thermal printing technology We are already in the world of 3D printing technology and maybe it is too late to talk about Thermal printing as it has been there for a very long time. I was admired and wanted to write about this technology. I recently got exposed to this technology and was curious to try out a Thermal printer. I know this has been there for a very long time but only recently my focus went to this when I needed to do some mass printing and bought a mini printer.…
Health or wealth which one needs more focus This article will be more of a self-check-in where I would like to keep a check on my health while trying to accumulate some wealth for myself and my family. Health and wealth are usually in the competition. Sometimes we compromise health to gain wealth; when we have more wealth, we have already spoiled our health and end up spending our wealth on health. It looks like a cycle. For me, the thoughts are on these lines for the past…
My experiences with the price of Hive The price of Hive has been pretty much stable at around 20 cents. Initially, there was an expectation that the price of Hive would not go below 20 cents but then it broke that expectation mark and the price went below 20 cents. But not too bad the price is staying stable around 18 cents. I remember seeing the price of Hive at around 11 cents some years back and I was there watching it happen. But at the same time, I have also seen the…
Keep your resumes up to date once in every 6 months I usually work with a lot of people who are just starting their careers. Most of the time they are lost and they don't have any big vision on the direction of their career. I understand it and I have also had similar feelings during my first few years and I had nobody to guide me back then. But today the only thing that I tell them is to review their resume once every 6 months and make sure it is updated with new learnings…
Make products a smart product with the help of AI What makes a product smart is based on what it does. Earlier we used to have Televisions called Smart TV. Today's actual meaning of Smart products is different from what it used to be. Today IoT devices are not just smart devices. On top of that products should have AI and ML capabilities to make them a real smart product. That has been the case these days and we might get even a better thing in the future after a decade or…
Should we start using cloud based storage options I have been paying the basic amount every month for my Google Cloud storage. 15GB provided by Google is not sufficient for me. People suggested creating more Google accounts and having the files in multiple accounts but that's not going to be a convenient thing. I'm already using two accounts but this need for more storage is going to be never-ending and that's why I decided to spend some money to get more storage. I have…
Will you book profit in your next bull market? One of my biggest mistakes in the last bull market was not to book any profits, watch it go to the peak, and then come down again. I remember thinking about investing again when the price went down again but I hardly made any big investments in things outside the Hive blockchain. Today we have a good bear market for altcoins and there are a few coins on my radar that I believe might do well in the next bull market. If the…
New expectations from Blockchain games Inside the blockchain world, it is not easy to predict anything but there can be so many expectations and to keep something sustaining, the expectations help. When someone is expecting something, an innovation is born or at least a solution is born. When it comes to blockchain games, there are many tricky areas and it is hard to predict what is good and what is bad and what can be good and what can end up bad. Only after experimenting…
How to increase Hive during the bear trend Hive is one of the best investments to make. If you are someone in the crypto industry, several coins can potentially be a good investment and Hive is one such coin. I'm confident about this after seeing the previous bull market. I remember seeing Hive at 11 cents a few years back and when the bull market happened, the price of Hive reached as high as 3 dollars. It was an unexpected thing. Having the price above 1 dollar itself is a…
Multitasking is a silent killer If you check with some of the successful people, they are purely against Multitasking. During the initial days until we understand it is bad, it is very fancy to work on many things at a time. There have been several problems because of multitasking and it is not a good thing for our health too. During a young age, multitasking may not be a problem because our brain might have the potential to handle the stress but when people start increasing…
Stay safe while investing on a technology stock than a product Regarding investments, especially the stock market, it is tough to choose which investment will be the best. Even bigger investors find it hard to decide on which investment would be the best for them. Sometimes they fail to invest in the right company and lose their money. It requires a lot of effort and occasionally logical thinking too. I was able to be successful with some long-term investments. I'm not sure…
Games I expect to see in the blockchain world People who have been in the blockchain world for a very long time might want to see their favorite projects on Hive. Not just projects but games play a very important role in the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain. I think there is a huge potential for the big gaming companies to enter this industry and reward their players in the form of cryptocurrencies. There are already a few small games doing that but imagine games…
Good time to invest in Energy stocks The energy industry is booming in India. I'm sure this has been the case in other countries as well. In some countries, individuals mostly generate their power based on where they live and what they do. In countries like India, the Government does the primary power generation and there are still places in India where electricity has not reached. We have been burning a lot of fossil fuels to generate power in the last century. People are…

Many people want to explore such earning opportunities to work from home and earn a decent amount of money. Unique products are always in great demand and many people would be willing to try out unique products. There are pros and cons in this business, and we have to understand some of these pros and cons to be aware of what is happening if we do an…
Property investment or SIP in Mutual funds Yesterday I was having some conversations with one of my colleagues. He asked me why I invested in a property rather than mutual funds when I had my cash flow. The discussion happened for a very long time and we both discussed the pros and cons. His questions were not in a way to attack me and say that what I did was right or wrong. But he wanted to do an investment and before that, he tried to understand my thought process.…
Indian postal offices need a decent upgrade In the last few days, I had to deal with postal offices in India for sending some posts in Bulk. For a Trust I'm involved with, we had to send some bulk posts to multiple places in India. These addresses were known but there were no other contact details like phone number or email address to communicate. To get those details, the initial communication had to be made. The postal charges were very much inconsistent and I had to look…
