Charging into 2026

The beginning of the New Year is a good time to set my SteemIt strategy for 2026.

I bought 5000 STEEM in 2025 to establish my account as a dolphin. For 2026, I want to think about living.

I just tallied up my account holdings. I took advantage of the weak market to raise my coin holdings from 2,498,780 to 6,903,032. Despite this, the USD value of my coin holdings fell from $2,985.54 to $1,364.68.

This is not good.

Rather than just blindly accumulating coins, I need a strategy to slowly sluff off some of my earnings.

My current thoughts are as follow. I realize that I am lucky to get any votes; so I've decided to power up all of my author rewards.

I will sluff off a good portion of my curation rewards. SteemWorld tells me that, as a dolphin, I am earning over 10 STEEM POWER curation rewards a week. HIVE Stats says that I am earning just over 10 HIVE a week in curation rewards. BlurtWallet says that I am earning 26 BLURT POWER in curation rewards.

So, my strategy will be to sell off 10 STEEM, 10 HIVE and 12 BLURT each week. I guess that will be about $0.90 + $0.65 + $0.015 or $1.56 a week. I am also earning a little from my Hive Engine investment.

I suspect that the market will see some profit taking and adjustments at the beginning of the year. After that I hope to see growth in the cybercoin blogging community.

Again, I am powering up 100% of my author income. I am powering down and spending some of my curation rewards. I think that this is the best way to take an income while continuing to grow the account.

With this design, I will be able to charge into 2026.
