Today is Hive Power-Up Day. Last month, I decided that since Hive is still down and it might take months for it to increase in value, I might as well put my Hive to good use. In short, all the Hive and HBD I receive monthly will be used to power up my account.

My Power Up for Today
Today I have managed to add additional 37.128 HP to my power, its not much but a Power Is still a Power UP
Why do I power up?
I really love blogging, and because of that, I have grown to appreciate decentralized social media platforms where I write my articles.
Because I am constantly social media platforms running under the Hive Blockchain, I have noticed that many people, especially newcomers, don't even get a single vote, and it makes me sad.
I remember the days when no one was following my account, but since I really love talking about things, it didn't stop me.
Actually, even though its already my 2nd year on Hive, I still dont get many votes. HaHaHa!
Now, to give back something to Hive, aside from the tutorials that I write, I've decided to use my HP for voting and supporting new users. Of course, I will still use some of it to vote for popular authors so that my HP will increase even more.
But as of now, my goal is to support those who are starting and aren't receiving any support. By the way, if you have joined Hive through me, message me, and I'll try my best to help and support you.
Where do I get the Hive I use to power up?
In 2021, I stopped investing money in crypto, and I have also withdrawn my initial investment. The Hive in my wallet now comes from the yield generated from my investment when I first started in crypto in 2020.
I don't have any intentions of withdrawing my crypto as of now. Maybe it will stay here for many more years. Now, back to where I get the Hive that I will use to power up monthly.
Author Rewards:
Every author reward I receive stays in my HP, and every HBD is immediately converted into Hive to be used as HP. But since I don't receive that many votes most of the time, it's only a small amount of HP in one month.
Curation Rewards:
I have a curation account that I use to vote for posts, and the earnings from this curation account also go to HP.
Staked Tokens: Although this doesn't go to my HP, these tokens, when staked, it adds additional power when using them to vote for a specific topic. These tokens also allow you to earn curation rewards.
Market Maker Bot:
My friends and I pooled our money to run a market maker bot. Market Maker bots are bots that automatically buy and sell tokens in Hive Engine. I've decided that every payout from our market maker, my shares will go to my HP.
Blockchain Games:
As of now, I'm playing three blockchain games. They don't earn much, but every time they generate income, I convert it to Hive and use it to power up. Some of my games where I get my additional Hive are Rising Star, DCrops and Splinterlands
For those who don't have enough power yet in their account, I would like to suggest using tipping tokens first. These tokens are very affordable and also a way of rewarding content creators. Some of these tokens are:
$PIZZA, which can be used by using the "!PIZZA" command.
$LOLZ, which can be used by using the "!LOLZ" command.
There are many more tipping coins out there, but I'll discuss them in my next article.
Actually, I don't have a specific schedule for powering up. It just so happens that yesterday was the payout day from our market maker bot.
I hope the HP in your account will not just sit there and go to waste. Help me promote a good atmosphere in Hive by also supporting newbies who have almost zero engagement. One of my acquaintances here on Hive describes their account as a ghost town.
Let's give them hope that someday, their posts will also be recognized.
For newbies, please try to visit my posts as I have a lot of articles there that can guide you on your Hive journey.
