Today is the 15th of the month and it is a power-up day for LEO. As always LEO is one of the lively projects on Hive. There are so many opportunities available on Hive and I'm glad LEO is still holding strong and has been doing very well during both bear markets as well as bull markets. The price of LEO is also doing very well and there is a hype created with good news from the team. To participate in the power-up day, I was able to power up 200 LEO tokens that I earned on my account. 

## LEO doing very well in the market

There was very good news recently published that LEO got a new exchange listing. This has pumped the price of LEO in the market almost double. I guess there will be more investors coming to INLEO from other platforms too. LEO is soon going to be listed on Maya which has access directly to the native coins. People with LEO can start trading directly with native coins and that can even have a greater impact on the price of Hive and other tokens on Hive. This is very good news not only for the LEO community but also for other investors who believe in Hive. The below graph on Hive Engine shows how the price has impacted after this good news from the team.

I'm glad that the price of LEO is moving along with the market and whenever the opportunity is good for LEO, it is also going to take Hive along with it. I remember the early days when people used to regret not buying LEO cheap. Today after seeing a huge pump, people still feel the same for missing the opportunity to buy cheaper. 

## My power up

I'm very glad and proud that I have close to 15k LEO tokens powered up. On my account @bala-leo, there are about 14k LEO tokens and I have recently started powering up LEO on my primary account @bala41288 as well. The main reason why I started to power up here as well is because in the last LEO ads rewards, my name was not included and I did not receive any Leo Ads rewards despite meeting some of the criteria:

- Writing every day with the help of the InLeo interface
- Holding close to 14k LEO tokens as stake (delegated to @india-leo)

One thing that I would like to be the reason is that in the last two months, I did not get a chance to be active much on threads but that shouldn't be a reason why someone is not getting the rewards. This month I guess they have relaxed their rules a little bit. Even the above thing, I have assumed threads could have been the reason why I did not get any rewards but hopefully, in the coming months, I should start getting the rewards. I have been holding my LEO tight from the initial days and have been a supporter and believer of the project. That's why I created a manual curation system with the help of @india-leo and have been sharing the rewards with the delegators. 

I would also like to take the opportunity to write about @india-leo here. We are doing manual curation with the help of @india-leo account and the best thing is that people who delegate their LEO to that account get more than 100 percent rewards. Every day the curation rewards earned by the account are distributed to the delegators. Apart from the incoming delegation, there is also some stake available on that account too. The rewards from the existing stake are also distributed to the delegators. This is what makes it more than 100 percent curation rewards to the delegators. As the account keeps growing, there will be more LEO stake on the account and the delegators will get even bigger rewards.
