2nd HPUD This Year!
Hello Hivers! 🚀 😎 🚀
Second HPUD this year!
Time is moving very fast. It seems like yesterday was New Year's Eve and with it the first HPUD, but it's been a whole month and more than thirty posts since then.
The beginning of the month is always a good reason (or excuse) to do something for yourself and the community. Increasing your Hive Power is one of the best things you can do in our blockchain. When you increase your Hive power, you also increase the power of the entire Hive blockchain!
And Hive Power Up Day is a great way to do just that. HPUD, the 2nd this year, gives you that opportunity, as it does on the first of every month.
Of course, you can Power Up whenever you want, but on the first day of each month, you will receive certain benefits.
Read on!
There are a lot of benefits, for me best explained by @nickyhavey (kudos to him!) in his post about more than a four years ago and it still applies:
Stronger votes on content & witnesses - 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 2.5 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.
Btw: 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% 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!
So, there's no reason not to do the Power Up!
...but...but...
How to do Power Up?
It's still quite simple in all Hive blockchain front-ends.
You need to go to your Wallet >> Power Up, put the amount you want, and confirm the transaction via authorization services aka Keychain or HiveSigner.
btw: More detailed explanation How To Power Up In Ecency
Looks good but I don't have any Hive for HPUD!
Do I need to buy Hive on Binance or somewhere else?
Not!
On @ecency web site https://ecency.com/market#swap you can easily SWAP your free (not staked) HBD for Hive! No fees!
Remember, again: When you increase your Hive Power, you also increase the Power of the whole Hive blockchain!

And here's something else:
There has been a lot of development in Hive core but documentation is outdated and updates are needed. So I invite you to support and vote for Hive devportal updates proposal by @good-karma.
Thank you in advance.

Congratulations to you on your second HPUD
I could not power up today but I believe that there is always another time. Moreover, I power up everyday of my life
Hahah, that's good
The HPUD is a good initiative here on hive, my only sadness is that I couldn't participate in this month's own. But maybe next month I will. Thanks for taking the time to explain in details how it works. Have a great day.
Congratulations @seckorama! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
