F... it! I did it again! 😃 On January 1st, I said to myself that that would be my last 1K power-up after doing that consecutively from November 2021! That was a fantastic streak of 27 months of 1K HIVE power-ups! In February this year, I stayed out of "munition", and I have powered a smaller amount... After that, I slowly raised that amount, and last month it was 500 HIVE, so the logical next step was to go back to 1K, and here we are! 😃

I have to admit that there is no "secret agenda" behind this and I had no idea that I would do that amount this #HivePUD, but the truth is that I was buying HIVE on every dip with my HBD earnings and some H-E income! What I didn't expect (but it was expected) is that HIVE will turn into a stablecoin! I mean, not literally, but if you look at the HIVE price chart, you will see that we are hovering around those 30 cents from mid-April, and before that, we had more periods around the same price!

Call me impatient, but I can look at my HIVE doing nothing... 😃 I made some trades in the past, by keeping some buy and sell orders opened, but this accumulation period takes forever! 😂 You know how it goes when you sell your tokens? Usually, they go up in price... 😂 So. maybe my power-up will do that effect and HIVE finally move up a bit! 😃

I am aware that everything is buzzing around that we have an altcoin bull run in front of us and that locking up HIVE (powering up) isn't the wisest thing, but... All that CAN happen soon, or NOT... I'm not selling my HIVE, so everything is good! 🙂 I know that many people are powering down because of these reasons, but I like to do the opposite... 

In the end, I don't like to be that guy who is saying one thing and doing the opposite... I strongly believe that "having skin in the game" is one of the most important things that you have to do if you want to stay truthful to yourself and your beliefs... 

I preach about the importance of HivePower whenever I have a chance to do so, trying to show by example how we should use it, and powering down would be lying to myself and cheating on myself and others...

**It feels so great to be able to power up 1K HIVE as in the old days!!!**

### This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

### Powering UP ALL liquid Hive as always:

## I reached 87K a few days ago, but I will not look at that number too much! With this 1K, 88K is already there!!! 100K here I come!!!

Another good news is that I have managed to power up HIVE every single day in May, and I will get my #HivePUM badge soon! After not getting in last month, I was scared that I would become inconsistent with it, but luckily, that wasn't the case!

**To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...**

#### 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 is organized by great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork and is held every 1st day of a month.
