It's nice to see LEO POWER UP DAY starting off this month as a new initiative fronted by @leogrowth , set for the 15th of June!

After all the excitement of Cub and PolyCub and their respective bleo and pleo liquidity pools it's nice to see a return to focussing on just plain old LEO. 

And TBH the curation return on just Powered Up Leo isn't too bad at all - at around the 15%, which comes in around 50% better than Hive and still a better return than most other 'pure staking tokens'. 

###  Smaller stake holders can win a 5000 LP Delegation 

Everyone loves a competition and if you have less than 20K LEO staked and power up at least 200 LEO on the 15th, you'll be in with a chance of winning a 5000 LEO delegation for a month. 

There are couple of other conditions - you need to reblog the post linked below and i think you need to comment too. You can find out more details about [LPUD day here](https://leofinance.io/@leogrowth/leo-power-up-day-is-now-a-thing-join-and-win-a-dolphin-size-delegation)...including the competion. 

### Reasons to Power Up LEO (besides the competition!) 

- As I mentioned above, the return is pretty good.
- I can't see the price of LEO going much lower -  both Cub and LEO are probably at levels where psychologically they are not worth selling (it's maybe PCub's turn to dump next?)
- Powering up is a good way of stacking for the next LEO related initiative, even though that might well months away. 
- It also has more of a use case than just pooling it - you can vote and help others. 
- And of course there's status and the silly names. 
- Once you get to 15K you get a different coloured name in the Discord same again at 50K I believe. 
- Leo seems pegged to Hive to an extent, so there's a bit of security there at least. (Maybe?). 


So... Join me for LP day, you may as well!
