There is no doubt that Hive is a community-driven Web3 ecosystem, which is actually very powerful. Here is a question for the long-term believers and also for the new users: that powering up still worth it? Before talking more about this matter, I want to present my suggestion here that HP is very precious asset than the liquid hive and HBD in the whole hive ecosystem, which means powering up is very important. So this can be your short answer, and yes, you have to keep powering up. Here we are going to talk about why powering up is very important. 

Hive power means staking that you see in every proof-of-stake platform; just the term is different, but the work is the same. Powerup means you are locking your hive, and this is not a normal locking, but you are getting influence in the hive ecosystem, and there are multiple benefits to it, such as influence in governance decisions, increasing your earning potential, and increasing your reputation as a curator. So you can curate good content with your HP, and this will give you a different reputation.

## Reward from the content curation 
______________________________________
So if you are interested in powering up Hive, then you have the most important benefit, which is a reward from the content curation. Yes, you can use the auto-curation system, which curates automatically to other content that you have set the time and frequency for. You can simply upvote good and quality content manually, and this is also not bad. If you have more hive power, then you will have more influence and more upvote value in this ecosystem. There is a delegation system that you can also use to earn the APR based on your delegation. Also, this delegation is transparent and open means a great way to earn passive income. I have also delegated to Leo.voter, and I am earning a very good amount from it.

## Contributing to shaping the ecosystem
______________________________________
There is not just earning, but you will have more influence in the platform, you can also help in shaping the ecosystem because the highest hive power holders, called whales, have more influence in proposal funding in the DAO. You can help grow the community and also help underrated content creators thrive. So it will be in your hands to contribute to shaping the whole ecosystem. So this is an investment in your visibility, and it is like a promotion of your brand.

Having more hive power unlocks great benefits in layer 2 tokens the and you can see these tokens on Hive-Engine exchange. We have seen that lots of high HP holders were whitelisted for the airdrop in the past, so yes, HP is your master key.

Hive has seen multiple bear seasons, that's why Hive is more mature than any other project, and it has a powerful community that is a loyal and hardcore believer in decentralisation. So this community is mature, and investing in this project is good for the long-term vision. The builders keep coming every year to the hive. You can see the examples like Inleo, dbuzz, and other precious dapps.

## Conclusion
______________________________________
When you are trading liquid hive you need more liquid hhive coins everyday in this case, you dont need to power up because once you power up hive you cannot unlock it immediately but it takes 13 weeks for the fully power down that is why if you are trading then you dont need to power up the hive but if you are not trading then yes hp is most important for you.
