Hive Power Up Day (#HivePUD) - 1 July 2020

PUD 1 July 2020.png

I consistently participated in @streetstyle’s power up initiative on the other chain and can honestly not be too sure what I’ve done on Hive. Part of the reason has been my own level of discombobulation and that I’ve had to look at converting my huge stash of crypto to fiat. Thanks to the Covid crisis. While the crisis is not over, for the moment, I’m working on taking myself and my stash off that other chain and cashing that in. I’m also trying to hold out as long as I can. I’m waiting for...

So, on Hive, I’m putting my money Hive where my mouth is and will be powering up on 1 July. Whether I’ll use the HBD to buy Hive or not, will depend on a couple of things between now and then.

Red fish

It’s no secret that I am supportive of initiatives that specifically support noobs on the blockchain. The support I received from @pifc started by @thedarkhorse. That support was instrumental in my leap from red fish to minnow.

Speaking of redfish, I was delighted to read that @traciyork was taking on board the suggestion that Hive Power requirement be reduced from 300HP to 100HP. So I agree that it is a…

Why am I powering up?

I think that crypto is the way to go. I no longer have any confidence, let alone faith, in the banking system. I’ve developed a jaundice against governments. Most, and certainly the one in my country, which seems completely inept at addressing most things and particularly impunity and corruption. I do not want to see crypto regulated. Right now, my confidence is in crypto (volatile though it is) and the Mattress Bank. If you don’t know what that is, use your imagination.

Thanks and good wishes

So, all that remains is to

  1. Thank @traciyork for taking up the baton. For more information about this month’s instalment and what to do, please check out her post here.
  2. Send good wishes to @streetstyle and hope soon to hear news of his and his family’s good health.
  3. See you on #HivePUD day!

Before I go...

If I hit my goal of 2k Hive on 1 July after I've powered up, I will delegate 50HP for three weeks to a qualifying redfish from @theterminal and nominated by either @traciyork or @brittandjosie. I will do the same for someone in the @pifc Discord and nominated by either @thedarkhorse or @viking-ventures. These will be recurring delegations each month, and to mark my third anniversary on the blockchain - some time next month, and of which I'm sure @hivebuzz will remind me!

Until next time, be well

  • If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
    • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a ko-fi?
    • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts because of this.

Thank you @fionasfavourites, for using the CO2 Compensation Coin (COCO) to reduce your CO2 footprint.

@tipu curate

Thank you! Much appreciated.

The responsibility, lol. I'd better look around pifc to see who's posting what, but that Discord is going to remain quiet until the relaunch of the contest...

I'm happy to wait, Lori. I know there's a re-launch, so it may be sensible to wait. Perhaps it can be a little something for the future.

You know, when we do the relaunch, maybe delegations for low-level featured bloggers would be part of the prize. I'd be game for that if @thedarkhorse would be.

Ok, cool. You know where to find me when you're ready. The least I can do to reciprocate for the support I received.

Hive to the moon! I doubt I'll get around to a post, but I'll try to do a little powering up on the 1st, as well. Cheers to @traciyork for being a fantastic leader at the moment in this, and bravo to Fiona and everyone else pitching in to use it as a great catalyst to support users.

You're too kind, @plantstoplanks! I mean seriously, how can I continue paying you to be my friend if you keep making sweet comments like this?! 🤣 🤣 🤣
plantstoplanks you're awesome.gif

Thanks, Katie! I am glad I made the time today - I wasn't sure I'd get to it and, for some reason, my brain kicked in.... Also, I like that one can drop in and qualify/not qualify and just support the initiative. I think it's a good thing that @streetstyle started. I do hope that he's ok and soon back and driving what he started.

WOW THANK YOU !
I love the idea and i love you for loving the redfish , @traciyork is in charge but that will all be arranged after 1 st of july. And dont forget for so many there will be a prize! And thats what so special here there is so much opportunity to win and at the same time help your own account and help the platform, a win win

You're very welcome - and yes after 1 July and I am aware that there are lots of prizes which is why I defer to you and Traci to help decide.

Greetings from a damp and cold McGregor!

I'd keep your bedside mannerisms private if I were you 🤐

Great to see you getting involved and powering up, hopefully you can get to 2k on the 1st and you're right, @traciyork has activated beast mode with taking the PUD baton, what a legend! (I hope @streetstyle and his family is OK too)

Oh, @nickyhavey, it's what I keep under my bed you should be worried about...😇

beast mode

Ahem... 🤣

🤣 🤣 🤣

You know me so well, @nickyhavey! Here's actual footage of me preparing to take the PUD baton...

So much awesomeness in this post that I'm not quite sure where to start! 😊

First off, thanks so much for your constant and unwavering support - it truly means the world to me. 🤗 ❤️

What an awesomely generous thing to offer! While I understand it's contingent on hitting your goal, would you be okay with me editing in a mention in my Hive PUD post? I'm truly blown away by how many people are jumping in this month, and I can't wait until @streetstyle comes back and sees how we all kept it going for him!

And here's an early happy anniversary...

!tip 1.0 hive

You are more than welcome. And, yes, you may mention it. I am pretty confident that I shall reach that milestone.

Birthday wishes much appreciated!

🤗

I’m ready for 1st July!

Let’s do this

Great! See you then!

I'm looking forward to July 1. Woohoo!!! Bring it on.

@fionafavourites I appreciate your kind gesture towards Redfish ralliers. You've been wonderful since I came onboard. Showed me the terminal and left me in great hands.

Although I would say @brittandjosie would say I give her though time😔😔
Not intentional. Just learning the process.

See you on Hive PUD day ☺️🥰🥰
Much love, @becki96830

I am so glad you are beginning to to swim! It's all a learning curve and - even three years later - I'm still not an expert and ask very stupid questions. I'm sure @nickyhavey will testify to that!!

See you on #HivePUD day!

I'm sure nickyhavey will testify to that!!

Yes I will definitely testify to that 😃 🤐

I'm still learning as well but there's so many different facets to HIVE that you will never be bored here and @beckie96830 is in good company with @theterminal!

As a rallier I'm enjoying my stay @theterminal I must say. I'm not also missing out in exploring the different facets of HIVE. There's more to explore every day.

Sounds like they are taking good care of you at the Terminal! There's a lot going on for sure in this vast ecosystem, glad you are settling in nicely 😃

Yes. They are really taking good care of me. I'm still settling in and I have a whole lot to learn

Haha, don't worry, I'm still learning after 2.4 years! But if you have any questions, reach out.

I may be revamping my guides again, been a while since I last wrote one so if you have any topics you'd like me to cover, let me know!

Wow. After three years you say😲😲
It's alright to ask questions.
I guess it true when they say learning never ends

Nope. It most definitely does not!

Never read it was a requirement anywhere to power up anything😆

No, it's not. It's an encouragement to plough back in. In my case, it's my sweat equity investment in Hive. Each to their own.
