HIVE Power Up Day - February 1st 2022 : My SECOND EVER POWERUP! β‘πβ‘πβ‘π
HELLO February 2022! Another month in this year has gone by in a flash! I've only joined HIVE for about 3 months and I'm still learning so many new things everyday! Last month was the first time I heard of Hive Power Up Day and all its other acronyms (PUD, PUM, PUH π what a mouthful) and I'm into my second month now!
I've managed to faithfully blog everyday with 100% powered up to HIVE for the past month (at least by my calculations I did π ) and as a result, I've seen my Hive Power grow quite a fair bit. This seems like a good practice that I intend to attempt to do again this month!
πHow it All Startedπ
I came onto the Hive blockchain trying to set up an account for SPLINTERLANDS. Prior to this, I had just about ZERO knowledge and experience with any Blockchain. It was pretty confusing to me as a complete novice - much different from how the usual process of setting up an account to play any game goes. π΅
This led to me googling around, and of course, I stumbled onto all the Hive blogs with their guides. One thing lead to another and I somehow stumbled upon the guys from πHive.Pizzaπ who were extremely helpful in answering all my queries and guiding me along. Shoutout to all PIZZA members. JOIN THEIR DISCORD if you need any help!
β‘οΈHIVE POWER UPβ‘οΈ
LAST MONTH before I started powering up ANY HIVE AT ALL, I was at just 47HP π (Before Jan 1st 2022)
And AFTER my FIRST EVER POWERUP β‘οΈπͺ (on the 1st Jan 2022), I reached 147HP with a 100HIVE powerup.
This month, before I've even powered up anything at all, I'm already at 263HP! πππ
That's how much an entire month of consistent blogging on HIVE with 100% allocated to Hive Power did for me! (unfortunately, we've also undergone a crypto winter and so the value of HIVE has dropped significantly since then π
)
And NOW... AND its POWERUP time! β‘οΈπͺ (1st Feb 2022)
I only have enough HIVE set aside for a 10HP powerup as compared to last month. But I'm sure with my continued efforts to blog with 100% powered up to HIVE, I will be able to grow my Hive Power even more!
πππMy Long-Term Planπππ
Now clearly, I wouldn't just spend such an amount on just being able to write and reply in a community. HIVE as a token also has significant value and growth potential.
This is the price chart for HIVE for the past 3 months. As all the HIVE regulars know, HIVE reached its ALL TIME HIGH earlier on in November at about $3. However, the price of the entire crypto market has crashed badly and HIVE even fell to as low as $0.70 this past month. It has since gone up slightly at about $0.95.
This is still a significant increase from the start of the year and those who were holding on to HIVE tokens from even earlier on should have seen a significant returns on their holdings.
I can see the potential in HIVE and am bullish on its future prospects. As they say, diamond hands and HODL ππ, I too intend to just hold onto my HIVE tokens and since I've no intention of cashing out anytime soon, what better way than to participate in HPUD and locking it all in.
Keeping my HIVE powered up as Hive Power also earns about 3% interest and gives me increased returns on my curation. From what I've seen, curation APR ranges anywhere from 4-12% depending on how efficient I am at curating. This sounds low especially in the crypto world, but it is still far superior to any bank interest rates. π°π°π°
π§§π§§π§§ππ₯³πHave a HAPPY CHINESE LUNAR NEW YEAR!ππ₯³ππ§§π§§π§§

Do put your blog in the #hive pud room in the terminal for extra prizes
Thanks for the tip! Would have never known about that if you didn't drop me a message over discord. π
Way to go, keeping your account growing! This is great! π
Thank you. It is important to grow indeed. And I see Hive PUD and PUM as a good way to incentivize it π
Wow, that's awesome! I thought about getting in on the PUM thing, but I know I can't at least yet π
That's a massive feat! Congrats. π
Hope you win some prize! π
Just try it π You never know how long your writing spree will last once you get into the groove!
Heya @blitzzzz, congratulations on your #HivePUD investment. It is great to see how you have been progressing on this social blockchain. Reading all of these PUD posts, I'm in a generous mood. I see that you began here as a Splinterlands player. I have just had a look at your card collection. It looks very nice. I see that you have a lot of Alpha Edition cards that you are renting, but none that own yet. I am sending you a little random gift, just because I feel like it, and I'm inspired by all of these HivePUD posts.
Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of your very first Alpha Edition card. It isn't a particularly powerful monster, but it is nice to have. Enjoy.
Thank you very much! π I will definitely remember this milestone - first Alpha card ever in my collection! π
Haha, I realised afterwards how pretentious that sounded, from me. You may well have had other Alpha cards in the past in your collection, and either sold them all off, traded them, burned them, etc. Just because you didn't have any when I looked in your collection doesn't mean that this is the first one you have ever owned. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed. π
Nonono... i'm a relatively new Splinterlands player, as I've said π .
That REALLY is the FIRST EVER alpha ever owned π and will go down as a landmark in my memory of Splinterlands π haha!
Congratulations @blitzzzz! 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!
