The #SPUD challenge is now one of the recent tags trending on the steem blockchain as it involves many Steemit users preparing to take part in the challenge.
You may be wondering what is #SPUD challenge?. This may really sound strange to some Steemians maybe you are just hearing about it for the first time. Anyway, I will take my time to extrapolate more on what SPUD challenge is all about and I hope you will understand the essence of this great campaign.
The word SPUD is an abbreviation for Steem Power Up Day. I guess without even defining what SPUD is all about you can actually tell what it means because what you are actually thinking after reading the full meaning of SPUD is actually what SPUD is all about. This implies that SPUD is all about powering up your steem.
This great challenge is now part of the trending tags on the steem blockchain such that we now have lots of Steemit users writing about the spud challenge. I suggest you visit @streetstyle blog for more information about spud challenge. I have also read some posts reading by other Steemians about spud challenge from @khaleelkazi, @streetstreems and many others.
If the spud challenge seems to be trending and spreading like wildfire on the steem blockchain, don't you think you deserve to know some important reasons that should make you take part in SPUD?
Below are the reasons that explains why you should be part of the SPUD Challenge
- MAKE STEEM MORE VALUABLE AND WORTHY: Have you ever noticed a rapid fall in the price of steem by some little percentage you didn't even expect? Well, we all know that cryptos tend to show some variation in price depending on the price of Bitcoin and the market cap. The erratic nature of cryptos can't really be altered as this is actually one of the features of cryptos.
Another important fact is that when whales tend to power down their steem power, it sometimes affect the worth or value of steem which causes the decrease in price due to low investment.
One of the tricks used to increase the worth and value of steem is by powering up your steem power and this is one of the goals the organizers of SPUD intend to achieve as this will be a great advantage for the Steemit community including the steem blockchain itself.
Don't you want the price or worth of steem to increase? If you really want that to happen, this is actually why you have to take part in the spud challenge.
- INVESTING YOUR STEEM: Most people do really think that Steemit is all about just redeeming your Steemit tokens and trading your tokens for cash.. Well, if all you want is actually to take out from the system without adding into the system, I guess you aren't really getting it right.
The fact is that most of the people you call whales today or people who seems to have huge steem power with worthy upvotes were also investors. I know you are actually trying to make your vote worthy but you may not actually achieve this if you are more concerned about taking from the system and not adding into the system. As a Steemian, you are meant to invest your steem power just like you are also more concerned about withdrawing your steem for cash as this will help to maintain stability or balance.
- GAIN MORE INFLUENCE ON THE STEEM BLOCKCHAIN: Have you ever been wondering why most of your blogs or posts seems not to be more visible to many people on the steem blockchain? Have you ever wondered why some people tend to have hundreds of comment on their blog posts with worthy upvotes?
Anyway, this is actually what influence is all about and your rate of influence is determined by your amount of steem power. If you are influential on the steem blockchain, you will have many people visiting your blogs with lots of comments, your number of followers also tend to increase as a result of your posts and upvote people gain from you.
I know you've been wanting to appear on the trending page with lots of comments just like @oracle-d, @steemjet, @steemhunt, @hatu, @chbartist, @cryptoctopus, @coruscate, @dapplovers, @crypto.piotr and many others.. You may actually achieve this if you take part in the spud challenge.
- MEANS OF SUPPORTING OTHER MINNOWS: Actually, you may not really know what your upvote means to a minnow if you have lots or steem power. I am a minnow and I know how it feels not to get rewarded for making quality posts. The lack of quality upvotes to support other minnows has actually led most of them quitting the platform while the smart amongst them had to make use of dapps to get rewarded.
I believe minnows sharing good quality content should be supported with quality upvotes as this will give them an incentive or motivation to do more. The best way to make your vote have more quality is by powering up your steem as this will earn you more steem power.
The interesting part about Steemit is that you also get rewarded for upvoting other people's posts or contents.
GET PAID IN RETURN: As an investor on the steem blockchain, you tend to be rewarded with some percentage depending on your investment. I think the whales will understand better. This implies that you can actually earn more steemit tokens just by powering up your steem.
INCREASE YOUR RANK: I will have to clarify that there is a difference between your reputation and your rank on the steem blockchain. Your Steemit reputation is dependent on your activities on the steem blockchain and the number of upvotes you earn from your posts. The more you gain quality upvotes, the more your reputation increases.
As for the rank, it is mostly dependent on your steem vests and steem power. This is why this ranks are bifurcated into minnows, whales, plankton, etc. The fact is that you can have a low reputation (50) and still become a whale on the steem blockchain provided you have huge steem power. Similarly, you may attain a reputation of (55) and you can still be a minnow on the steem blockchain because your steem power seems to be very low.
This means you can always increase your vests by powering up your steem and investing more on the steem blockchain. This is actually one of the reasons spud challenge is here.
- DON'T BE A DEVIANT: As from tomorrow, the spud challenge will commence and I can really see lots of Steemians are really ready for this great challenge... Why should you be left out in this wonderful challenge?
Let's make Steem more valuable and worthy.. If you can't take part in the campaign, I suggest you resteem posts that has to do with the spud challenge to enable more Steemians know about it.
Thanks for your time.. I am ready for the spud challenge and I hope you are also ready for this great challenge😊
