4th HPUD This Year! 🚀

Hello Hivers! 🚀 😎 🚀

I repeat myself on the first of every month, but the importance of this routine needs to be emphasized regularly, especially for newer or less experienced users.

At this moment, as the crypto market bleeds and sentiment is extreme fear (even experts don't know what is going on), it's best to remain calm and focused. This is particularly evident in our blockchain; I’ve been here for nearly 10 years, and I don’t recall Hive ever being this low.
But the best solution for us now is to increase our Hive Power!
It has never been easier, with Hive at a very low price!

And where is the secret? By doing so, you're growing, and the entire blockchain grows with you. So, I convert all liquid Hive into Hive Power.
The first day of the month has always been the day for HPUD, at least for me. Pa tudi če je prvi april, dan norcev!

Hive Power is a key driver of growth.
In fact, it's pretty simple - the more Hive Power you have, the more influence you have!

To continue, HPUD or Hive Power Up Day is a great way to get a boost. HPUD, the 4th of this year (mine is 73rd in a row), gives you that opportunity, as it does on the first of every month.

You receive certain benefits on the first day of each month, but you can power up at any time.

Read on!

More than six years ago, @nickyhavey (kudos to him!) highlighted the numerous benefits that still hold today:

Stronger votes on content, witnesses, and proposals - although you may not see this in the first instance if you stay for a longer time and keep powering up as I have over the last few years, then you will notice the cumulative effect;

🚀

Earning more curation rewards - kinda goes with point 1, but the way it works is that if you upvote content, you will earn as well (known as curation rewards), so the more Hive Power you have, the more you can potentially earn back.

🚀

Earning "interest" by holding/staking Hive Power - maybe you didn't know this, but you will also earn HIVE passively at about 3.5% per year of what you currently have powered up, so the more HIVE you have, the more you can earn from just holding/staking!

🚀

Earn by delegating - delegating is effectively "loaning" out your HIVE Power to others, and some accounts may offer you a daily payment for doing so. If you delegate more, you can earn more and grow your balance even more!

🚀 😎 🚀

When, if not now? Today is the day!

More details about prizes, awards, and rules are available in @hivebuzz post.

So, there's no reason not to do the Power Up!

...but...but...

How to do Power Up?

It's still relatively simple in all Hive blockchain front-ends.
Go to your Wallet >> Power Up, enter the amount you want, and confirm the transaction via authorization services, such as Keychain or HiveSigner.

Looks good, but I don't have any Hive for HPUD!
Do I need to buy Hive on Binance or somewhere else?
Not!

On the @ecency website https://ecency.com/market#swap, you can easily SWAP your free (not staked) HBD for Hive! No fees!

This is a friendly reminder again:
Increasing your Hive Power benefits your account and strengthens the entire Hive blockchain. Yes, that's right! Your contribution is vital in powering up the network and making it more resilient for everyone.

Power up your Hive Power today. Your support can make a difference!

Thank you for your attention.
