It's the 14th of the month again, and you know what that means? 🍕PIZZA POWERUP DAY🍕 is back! 🥳

---

What is this Power Up Day? It is a day where Pizza Holders and even new users are encouraged/incentivized to stake their $PIZZA together.

Why??? You might say. First off, and most importantly, $PIZZA Staking offers 12% APR paid out daily and is automatically staked to compound your interest. Granted, one can always stake Pizza anytime you like, but as a community event, you stand to win some prizes too! 🎁

The amount of PIZZA being powered up today has been pretty good so far, in fact, this is the month with the largest single powerup done by an individual since we started Pizza Power Up Day. Courtesy of @dibblers.dabs with a huge 14k PIZZA being powered up in total! 😱🤑

Well, I think I can say with near certainty that Dibbs is going to be the runway leader this month.

Honorable mentions to @scriptkittie (aka @dcrops 😜), @plicc8, @h3m4n7, @gwajnberg ("only" 999.1 to be exact 😜) who all made at least a thousand PIZZA powerup today! (thus far at least)

🍕⚡Pizza Powerup Day Commences🍕⚡

---

My initial amount of staked PIZZA stood at 6503.14 before today's PPUD! 🍕

---

And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! ⚡️💪🏻 (14th July 2022)
I powered up 300 PIZZA and am now at 6803.14 PIZZA! 🍕

📈💎🙌🏻My Long-Term Plan📈💎🙌🏻

Now clearly, I wouldn't just spend such an amount on the PIZZA token just for the fun of it. PIZZA as a token also has significant value and growth potential.

As you can see from the price charts here, the PIZZA token seems to have dropped somewhat, although we could attribute to the price of HIVE having actually gone up in the past month. This puts the dollar value of PIZZA actually higher than before. 🤑

There has been some bad news this month again, with the bankruptcy of 2 Singapore based exchanges yet again - Zipmex and Hodlnaut. Granted Zipmex is actually a Thai Crypto exchange, but since they're all headquartered here, the headlines tend to scream out Singapore.

However, crypto prices have generally done pretty well this month. I believe it can be attributed mostly to Ethereum finally confirming a date for their long awaited merge. As you can see in a basket of select coins that I am keeping watch of, the past 30 days has been pure gains across the board. The leader of the pack being ETH with > 60% gain. HIVE and SPS are not too far behind too, posting 50-60% gains. This is really good news. 🥳📈🤑

As always, we're still far away from the all time highs posted last year. I believe a downturn like this is a good time to DCA and accumulate assets that you believe in. It'll be a slow grind with possibly nothing to show for it, with perhaps even lower prices or sideways movements. Should we weather this however, we will be primed to reap the results of our investments in the next Bull-run. 🐮📈

Personally, I'm even somewhat happy that I've been "given another chance" to accumulate more when the prices are this low! 🤑🤑🤑

I can see the potential in PIZZA (and also in HIVE) and am bullish on its future prospects. As they say, diamond hands and HODL 💎🙌🏻, I intend to just hold onto my tokens and since I've no intention of cashing out anytime soon, what better way than to participate in PPUD and locking it all in.

Pizza staking offers a 12% APR interest paid out daily which is automatically staked and compounded. The table above shows you an example of how much it'll grow within a year. It'll actually adds up to 12.74% APR this way.

This sounds low especially in the crypto world, but it is still far superior to any bank interest rates. 💰💰💰 (of course, this is simply my opinion and should not be construed as financial advice, and all readers will have to do their own due diligence)

I hope to continue to powerup monthly in this community event whilst also growing my PIZZA stake. It would be most interesting indeed to chart my monthly progress this way too.

I'll see you all again during the next Power Up Day next month with another update! Till then, See you and WAGMI! 💎🙌🏻🦍💪🏻
