Today is SPUD, or Steem Power Up Day, so why not POWER UP today? It's not like I plan on powering down anytime soon. To give it a little twist I thought, why not power up my gaming winnings bit by bit to take some Steem off the table. Boy oh Boy, did it work out for me! It's barely a few hours into the day and I've already powered up over 1000 Steem! Keep reading if you would like some good luck tips and referral links.

Steem is one of my favourite cryptocurrencies because of the social aspect and interactivity. There is so much you can do with it and the first step is powering up! Without out an adequate amount of Steem Power, you are restricted by your RC value or how much you can interact with the blockchain. The more Steem you have the merrier when it comes to returns as well. (Not that I suggest you should invest in Steem or take this as financial advice)

### Proof of Power Up

It all says 4/30 but remember it's May 1st somewhere and on the blockchain, we go by UTC. The point is I'm powering up, the above image shows 1130 Steem powered up already and I will be powering up when the sun comes up too!

### WHY SPUD

Without getting into the details, just search it and read some of these Steemians posts: @streestyle, @khaleelkazi, @ashtv, @jongolson, @adetorrent, @raj808, @rehan12, @clixmoney, @soyrosa, @steemflow, @runicar, @cryptopie, etc. we're not alone. In fact, if you power up more than I have already, drop me a line and I will buy you some SBI shares @steembasicincome (not that you need it), this is open to everyone and I just set the bar at 1130, not including payouts so POWER UP!

### How Did I get That Steem?
