# <center> Power up Day </center> #  Growth. It is all around us now here in Ireland. The baby lambs that were born back in Spring are growing and get stronger every day. The buds that appears as small little growths on the branches of trees and shrubs have burst into life as leaves and flowers and hum of the bees and tweeting of the birds is alive in the air. They are all growing and I am growing too. Of course I am growing older and hopefully ever so wiser, but I can't comment on that one myself, but someplace where I can comment about growth is here on Hive. Even though we are in the midst of a Crypto winter and bear market of sorts, the intelligent among us know that this will pass and know that rather than wallowing in negativity about value lost, we should instead take advantage of the situation we find ourselves in. Here on Hive it is actually a great time to grow and as you will see later in this post I have just powered up 730Hive, which increases my Hive Power by a hefty 17%. That was made possible by banking my HBD for a few months when the price of Hive sky rocketed and earning 20% interest while doing so and then trading it back for Hive when the price fell. Having a strategy and forethought like this is very important if you want to grow as efficiently and quickly as possible. The months appear in the rear view mirror quicker every year and 2022 is off to a flyer. We are already half way through the year, well almost. Anyway, that was a longwinded way of saying that the time is flying by quickly. Today is a really important day for me in terms of growth here on Hive, as I have now officially passed the 5K milestone that I had targeted a while back. I passed 4K in early April and now I have passed 5K and I am hopeful that I can pass 6K before the end of August. Why not? You have got to have targets and do your best to reach them. So, I am now officially a dolphin, woooop wooooop!!!  # <center> That time again </center> # Its the 1st of the month again! Another month has passed, and I've seen more gains across my hive and Leo holdings, as well as other side chains like SportsTalkSocial ⚽️ Verfiy Your Brian 🧠 and Proof of brain 🧠 For any newbies reading this post, the beauty of Hive is, you don't have to invest any hard earned Fiat, although I would advise that you do invest some FIAT, to accelerate your progress. At times I wish that I had in those early days, as it has been a long journey for me, but my account has grown up from 100% organic growth from nothing other than around 10 or 15 delegated HP to get me going. I've never taken out anything to date either, nor do I intend to any time soon. I want my stack to continue to grow and the bigger the stack, the quicker the growth in my opinion. # <center> Surf those Crypto waves </center> #  I use to be a surfer, well I guess I'm still a surfer, and I just very rarely get out into the waves anymore. Maybe this Summer, I'll change that. In fact, let's take control here, not maybe, but definitely I am going to catch some waves this summer. Lahinch is a great surfing spot and is just down the road from me, so I will book in a night or two there with the family and take to the waves. I love to surf, on the rare occasion I get a chance. The thrill, the water, the fun, it's amazing. The rest of the time I am virtually surfing. I now have momentum and I am **riding a wave of financial gains and friendships gains here on Hive.** I'm rubbing virtual shoulders with people from the four corners of the world and its a really good way to maintain or improve ones perspective on life. Now onto the PUD post and I always like to check how much my account as grown over the month. # <center> Last PUD month comparison </center> #  Ok, so I actually somehow missed HPUD in May, so this comparison is going to be for 2 months, rather than the usual one month comparison. I was on 4150 hive power on April 1st. Now I'm at 5137 hive power one month later which is a gain of 24% which I'm feckin thrilled with! This is what I am trying to explain - now is a brilliant time to grow. Now in fairness I have converted some of my HBD savings to HP but, I still have 250HBD waiting for a 0.45 rate (if it ever comes) and have 110HBD left in savings. I always like to have a little balance and patience with my investments. That 24% growth across two months gives a 12% average which is unreal and if I can get over 10% again for June, I'll be thrilled. Of course that goal of 10% gets continuously harder each month, but why not have an ambitious target and see how long I can keep it going for? Imagine if I could keep it going for the whole year? Should I manage that or even if I hit 10 out of 12 months, then I'll hit my 5 figure Hive target of l0k HP before the year is out I hope. My reputation continues to grow as well and I am now up to 69.9 this month which again I'm delighted with, as the higher this gets the slower it grows. # <center> You are an early adopter </center> #  You were waiting for this weren't you? Every month for Hive Power Up Day, I mention it. Here it comes again - remind yourself that you are an early adopter in a transformative potentially game changing industry. Blockchain is going to be huge. You are here before the masses. You are a visionary. It is only a matter of time before many more look to follow in your footsteps. Imagine investing in internet stocks in the early days, the likes of Google, Amazon or Facebook. Take advantage of your early adopter status. Up your game. Post only quality content. Engage with others on the eco system and watch as you flourish. Are you hearing more friends, families and randomers talking about Crypto currencies, asking questions about blockchain and taking their first tentative steps into the investment waters? I am and I think more and more people will get involved in the coming years, especially the younger demographic who are already tech savvy and tuned into digital technologies and integration. Of course the recent downturn and shitshow with Luna may sour the views of many, this is not new to blockchain technologies and many of us have seen this and similar play out in the past and eventually Crypto emerges unscathed and I believe that will happen again, so be ready and in the meantime grow, grow, grow. Did I mention you should grow? # <center> Power Up Day June 2022 </center> # I am proud to say that this is my twelfth PUD. It's a good way of showcasing the importance of powering up and staking what you have in the Crypto space in order to put your earnings to work and compound with even more earnings. Another bonus for me is that it gives me a timestamp that I can easily refer back to in order to track my growth here on the platform. ## These were the criteria for Hive PUD: # • Your reputation must be above 39 and below 70. **I meet this one with a reputation of 69.9** • Your total Hive Power (before the 1st) must be more than 100 and less than 8000. **My total hive power before 1st was 4404 HP** • You must power up at least 10 Hive on December 1st. **I have just powered up 733 Hive bringing up to 5137 Hive Power overall** • You must write a post about your power up on December 1st with the tag #HivePUD (International) or #HPUD (Spanish). **This is my post about the power up** # <center> Proof </center> # <center>**Before Power Up** </center>  <center>**Power Up** </center>  <center>**After Power Up** </center>  Thanks to @traciyork for this cool Hive Power Up Day contest and thanks to @streetstyle for the great idea formed way back in 2019! *The images used are not my own and the following are the sources:* https://pixabay.com/ ## <center> Thanks a million for reading my post </center> # # <center> Peace Out </center> # <center>  </center>
