10th HPUD This Year!

Hello Hivers! 🚀 😎 🚀

For the last three and a bit years, the first day of the month has been the day for HPUD, at least for me. So, I convert all liquid Hive into Hive Power.

Increasing your Hive Power is one of the best things you can do on our blockchain. By doing so, you're also helping to grow the entire Hive Blockchain.

I repeat myself on the first of every month, but the importance of this routine needs to be mentioned regularly, especially to younger or newer users. There is nothing more critical than Hive Power if you want to influence the development of our independent and decentralized blockchain, let's say, as an active user or even as a citizen.
In fact, it's pretty simple - the more Hive Power you have, the more influence you have! But that doesn't mean you can't be influential with a lower level of HP. Of course, you can! Look at this - a picture says a thousand words:

To continue, Hive Power Up Day is a great way to power up. HPUD, the 10th of this year (mine is the 55th in a row), gives you that opportunity, as it does on the first of every month.

You receive certain benefits for powering up on the first day of every month, but you can power up whenever you like.

Read on!

More than four years ago, @nickyhavey (kudos to him!) highlighted the numerous benefits which 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 accumulative 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.
Did you know that more than $6,344,255 in curator rewards were distributed on the Hive network in 2023? Source by @geekgirl.

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 have more to delegate, you can earn more by delegating which helps 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.
You need to 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.

And here's something else:
I post everything on the @ecency front end.
So, I invite you to support Ecency Development And Maintenance #4 Proposal because I (and many others, too) would like to keep using it.

Support and vote for those exceptional witnesses:
@good-karma, @liotes, @fbslo and @detlev.witness.

I appreciate any help you can provide.
