Hello Hive Fam!

This is first day of the month and this is also a day to power up hive. It's called hive power up day. Basically first day of every month is organised as hive power up day and on this day many hivers power up. It's great and I have also done it few times. Once again I am going to power up this day and add more power to my HP balance. In my opinion the hive price currently in market is very low and because of that it can be a nice investing opportunity. Please don't consider it as a financial advice because I am just sharing my thoughts and I can be wrong. 

I have invested quite a bit on hive and going to do more in this year also. Today again I bought some cheap hive and powering up now. Hive and sps both are the coins on this platform that I am investing on. Investing on hive because its the core of hive and having more hive power means better support to creators and also a good curation reward. I understand that the curation is currently 8-10% but in my case its too low and I don't know why. Will try to see if I can improve this. The another one is sps and it's also the core of splinterlands game which means higher sps power brings better game rewards. This way both are important coins and I am investing on both.

I have done the staking for 5000 hive today and I think this is a good amount to power up.

This is the time when alt coins are down but bitcoin is not so I am investing on some alt coins and hive also one of them. I hope that this investment becomes profitable in future and currently the stake will continue to earn about 10% of apr hopefully. I need to learn how can I improve my curation apr and what are the best practices to follow for that. 

I see that there are so many projects available on high platform but I am only part of two games which is splinterlands and moonkart. I will try to explore more projects but fun now this is good eno and I am trying to go deep down in both the projects by investing a different assets because I believe both projects have solid potential to grow nicely in future. Similarly the high price is also at its bottom kind of range so the probability for its price going up is very high. I am an investor following the fundamental analysis and after going to the historical price performance for high I see that it's price is down by almost 90% which says it is a good buying opportunity.

That's all for the day. Have a nice day and power up hive to build your stake. It's like more is the better.
