Hive Power Up Day: How I got to 169K HP

![](https://i.imgur.com/ydgklIj.png)



Hive is a blockchain that's easy to get into. It's all about creating posts and talking to people. You make content, chat with others, and  earn hive. Simple.

Hive Power Up Day (HPUD)  It's a good opportunity to grow your hive stake. It's important to note that while HPUD is a single day,  powering up Hive any time is good! I've actually been buying more Hive this whole past month because the price was low. I've been increasing my Hive Power throughout May.

How am I able to buy Hive and power up consistently?

I've been finding ways to get cheap Hive on Hive-Engine. Finding a few arbitrage opportunities.

Powering up my Hive means I have more say on the platform, by voting on proposals. I get better curation rewards, and am a bigger part of the Hive community. It's not just about the money; it's about being part of something. I run a hive witness node and also a SPS validator all on servers that I own. 

Please consider sending me a vote I would appreciate it.

I think of Hive Power Up Day as something I do every month to help myself in the future. Go and look at my account it is up to just over 169K HP now. Like everyone else I started with one Hive.

You've done well mate. :) 

You've had my witness vote for some time, but as I gain more power, your position as a witness will solidify, too. :) 

Vote for your local witnesses, or forever face the wrath of a laggy block log ;)

Thanks buddy, I appreciate the support, hope to catch up with you if you can make it to the next meetup. 

PS. I just got hold of the three silo books by Hugh howey, part way through wool right now.

Depending on how things are going on the job front for me, 26th of June looks like a possibility :) Been keeping busy by devoting time to hive, the local community gallery, applying for jobs, and just reading - and going to the gym every 2nd day without fail. 

If this is what retirement is like, I'm ready for it, but I need a fair bit more in the super / savings / bank to sustain this for the next 30-50 years :P

I love this. So many detractors and doubters love to claim that you can only achieve this kind of HP if you were in at the start or in some kind of secret club but anyone can do it if they make the effort!

Thanks mate, trading on hive-engine and the internal market has been kind to me. Plus splinterlands has been awesome too.  

Your right, anyone can do it, just start small and build over time.

Congrats on your efforts. I know you’ll meet your goal before the end of the year, no worries at all.

My perception of Hive is a little different than most but I love the various communities here.

I unstaked a lot of HBD and swapped it for Hive. I also sold a bit of SWAP.btc on Hive Engine too. I am slowly powering up HP. I missed PUD because I was busy working, but it does need to take a higher priority in my life.

I delegate to Ecency and get a daily Hive payment and I comment as much as I can.
