I'm at the tail end of a project now, so with the money I'm going to get for the end of it I'm going to divide it up and 1,000 Euros into Hive which should get me to 15k, and with that, I think my curation alone should be about 80-90 Hive a month, which should bring me up to around 16k-ish, by the end of the year, and if I manage to keep posting during the year, I might be able to get to around 18-19k by next January.
