Hello, Hivers! 🚀 😎 🚀
I do this on the first of every month. It’s a routine worth repeating, especially if you’re still figuring out what Hive is. The crypto world, which includes blockchains and their markets, is unpredictable no matter what the “gurus” say. Stay calm and keep your focus. Hive is still near its lowest point. It’s still a good time to increase your Hive power.
So, what’s the secret? When you take this step, you’re not just growing yourself; you’re helping the whole blockchain flourish. If you want to support both your journey and the ecosystem, start by turning all your liquid Hive into Hive Power. The first day of the month has always been HPUD for me.
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 11th of this year (mine is the 80th in a row), gives you that opportunity, as it does on the first of every month.
You get certain benefits on the first of each month, but you can power up anytime.
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 4.31% 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 pay you daily 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.
