Five Hive PUDs in a Row!

Badges, prizes, self-gratification… the first day of every month is an important part of the blossoming culture here in the #Hive ecosystem. It’s Power-Up Day!

If you don’t know what that is yet, take a moment and read THIS POST about this month’s details… but it’s basically a day on which users are rewarded for powering up their HIVE and posting something about the occasion.

Use the #HivePUD Tag!

If you’re going to participate by staking your Hive tokens, you might as well write a post about it… so you’ll be entered into the draws to win prizes!

And creating quality content is THE BEST THING you can do here anyway, so it’s the perfect reason to engage, earn more and help the whole ecosystem!

If we all respect the guiding principle of Power-Up Day, it can have a number of benefits: an easy incentive for nervous newcomers, a notable increase in total voting power, a possible uptick in onboarding early each month, and the seemingly deflationary effect from the holding and staking of our HIVE tokens.

I don’t know if my math is accurate… but… wait, I should carry the one… YEP...

It’s a Hive Win-Win-Win-Win!

Just as I suspected. Elementary, my dear #Hivians.

But don’t just rest on this one day’s laurels! You should be powering up your Hive all the time, and try to keep your content and engagement rolling as much as possible.

Myself for example: I usually make a plan every month to have a pile of tokens to stake on the first-- and I’ll consciously hold back during the last week to maximize my HivePUD participation. When I can, I also use an exchange like Hotbit or Binance to grab bigger chunks during dips (or around #PUD time).

So How Much Hive Power This Time?

In an effort to get the badge with the biggest bee, I will be powering up a little more than 250 Hive for June (wink, nudge: @hivebuzz) and that is an increase of about 100 tokens from last month. I’m getting close to the HP cap that will make me ineligible for rewards, but hopefully I can keep collecting the badges… as my title proudly proclaims, this is my fifth PUD badge in a row (and I hate to break a streak)!

There is no perfect way of doing it… I’m sure you’re developing a routine that you’re comfortable with, and one that will work beautifully. And if part of it is making the most of days like one, then you’re travelling the right road.

Impressed I am.
Strong your Hive skills are.

So keep it up! But please do remember to take care of yourself too: get out and absorb some June sunshine, get some exercise while you’re out there, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, drink green tea and get enough sleep.

Then tell us about all of it-- on #Foodies or #ProofOfBrain, or get a bit more technical with a #STEM article. (Sigh… isn’t Hive amazing? Yeah, it is!)



What are your Hive PUD plans? How much are you staking this month? Is it more or less than last month? Feel free to drop a line in the comments... thanks so much for reading! Peace out. :)

Congratulations @thatcryptodave! You received a personal badge!

You powered-up at least 100 HP on Hive Power Up Day! This entitles you to a level 3 badge
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.

Level 3, huh? I think that's the same one as last month... but that's OK! I'll load up for next month and try again. Thanks so much, HB! :)

Wow! Five HPUDs in a row? That's awesome, @thatcryptodave.

I guess this shows your commitment to Hive.

Thanks for that, WA! I appreciate the encouragement... I thought you were patronizing me at first (because I know it's not a HUGE achievement or anything) but I sense your sincerity. lol

I am committed to Hive, for sure. Of all the things I've gotten into over the last few years, this is easily the most functional and rewarding. I really do !LUV it. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. Cheers! :)

I just power up occasionally now and then without waiting for the first of the month. But it is a good initiative. Now if only something could be done about the net 1mil leaving the platform.

Is that the characters from the top 20 who are unloading the vast majority of their HIVE? That's what you mean? I remember it being mentioned... but I'm certainly not doing any selling.

We all know that’s a marathon we are running when powering up and trying to increase our stake! It’s step by step.
I try to powerup each day. Giving me each days some small snibbles of extra power.
