Quite an overdue post, I've been very inactive with all things Hive the past year or two, life got incredibly difficult and busy for certain peroids. Things are a lot calmer now and I've been itching to get back into Crypto and Hive as a whole, I really enjoyed everything to do with Hive, I found the communities amazing, the creativity and knowledge that gets shared around and all roundness to help others.
I've missed it here but I am a sucker for no-creativity, I find it difficult to think of things to post about or engage with, but I am trying! 😅 Which brings me to my Hive Power-up, I've sat on a few thousand Hive in my wallet for well-over a year and the price has steadily decreased over half of the value which I paid per Hive, I have no intention of selling my holdings, so I've finally put my brain to use and decided to stake the Hive and power myself up to engage with better voting and curating of content!
Now I know it's not much I am only sitting at around 0.073 Voting power but hey, every little helps! And I was 0.021 last night, so it's tripled with these powerups. Hopefully I will see a great return on the daily HP through curation!
I found out late last night while browsing my Crypto wallets that I also held Hive within Binance, and not a small amount at that. I held 3421.224 HIVE, again instead of letting it sit collecting dust I've decided to withdraw my remaining holdings also and power myself up further bringing my total to 8500 HIVE Power!
It's quite a sight to behold, considering we all started at 0.0 HP. I'm looking forward to engaging with the communities again and attempting to build my staked Hive even higher, heres hoping for 10,000 by 2025!
Along with my Power-Up I gained a lovely little Honey Bee badge next to my avatar and NFT icon! I think it adds to my profile quite a bit. Looking a lot sharper! It will be pleasant to know my votes also count for more towards the content I'll be upvoting and curating, so many authors here put so much into their work and it used to feel like my little votes barely make a drop in the ocean!
From 1750ish HIVE Power to 8500 is a huge leap, definitely have to stay committed to seeing it increase more now! Thanks for reading and sticking around, I hope you all have lovely days! Take care :)
