I have to admit that I was struggling with today's topic for this #HivePUD post... Luckily, when I opened Canva to create this thumbnail, I decided to put my photo in the background, not some random, royalty-free photo... I had no idea which one, so I scrolled down through my recent mobile phone photos and found this one...

That was such a perfect photo with a perfect message! It's not a typical "fortune cookie" message, but more like a "coffee-sugar-message", which fits perfectly in so many different ways... 

Firstly, the whole idea of creating this blog... I wanted to do it as I didn't want to skip my 43rd consecutive #HivePUD!!! But, like I said, I was struggling to find a topic, and instead of picking a random photo, I changed the plan and picked MY photo!! The GOAL is achieved!

Secondly, I'm a very stubborn guy... If I want to do something, I'm working on that, and very often, I'm trying it so hard, hitting the wall too many times... too many times... Doing the same thing over and over again, until it works out... But, to be honest, usually it doesn't work out... In the end, moving just a few meters from that wall, there is a door... And it works out well... Changing the plan, and the strategy, most of the time works out!

I could list a lot of additional examples, but one of the most obvious is maybe my strategy of accumulating crypto... The GOAL was always to accumulate as much as possible Bitcoin and other cryptos... In the beginning, I was doing that by GPU mining different coins, ETH, ETC, and many others... When I would mine them, I would exchange some for BTC and store them in my cold wallet... When mining became unprofitable, I changed my strategy and moved into POS tokens, staking them and accumulating them in that way...

After that, I changed my strategy more times, adapting to the current "situation"... Accumulating tokens through running nodes, participating in DeFi protocols, or doing small trades... But the goal was always the same... To accumulate more crypto!

Speaking of crypto accumulations, back to the #HivePUD and HivePower accumulation!!! 

### This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

### It's not a 1K HIVE power-up, but everything counts!

##### Compared to the last #HivePUD, the total HivePower went up to 107.6K HP! I have added 1400 HIVE to my stake during the last 28 days!

In the case of #HivePUD, I'm not changing my strategy! Maybe I did lower my HIVE power-ups, but I'm still here every 1st day of the month to participate and to show by example!

As a matter of fact, I didn't power up only on 1st day of the month, but rather on EVERY DAY during the last month! As proof, I got the #HivePUM badge again! This is my 10th consecutive #HivePUM badge! Two more months, and I could celebrate 1 year of powering up HIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! Let's see if I will make it... 😃

#### So, what is #HivePUD?
>Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is shortened for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It all began by great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork and is held every 1st day of a month.
