Just Warming Up .:. December 1st HivePUD
I heard some questions from my fellow Hivians, like, will you continue doing these 1K power-ups the next year too? As everyone else, I do have my doubts in things on Hive, and in crypto in general... But, in the end, the rules of this "game" are simple, and as time passes, they get simpler and simpler... IMO, we have a huge opportunity to build things with (and IN) crypto, solving some real-life issues by using it in a "proper" way... What does that mean? We shouldn't copy Web 2.0 things, but we should rather flourish OUR WAY, as if Web 2.0 was working well, we wouldn't even exist!
I know that things aren't black and white, but there should be a line... You are part of the problem, or you are the solution to the problem! I don't want to be part of the problem, and you?

I'm repeating myself over and over again, but that is needed as we are making the same mistakes over and over again... Sometimes we are AWARE of them and do them deliberately for some short-term gains, killing the bigger picture... Other times, we are lured and tricked into making the same mistakes by others... So, I found that there is a need to repeat certain things...
Do you care about decentralization? If you do care, why do you centralize your stake by delegating your HivePower to big whales? That's how you turn yourself into the part of the problem... You have all the tools to grow, to be yourself, to take your "destiny" in your hands, and you decide to give that decision to someone else? Sorry, but that's not how decentralization works...
Do you care about this chain and do you want to see better distribution of tokens and better decentralization? Then go out, buy some HIVE, and power it up! Or, invest some of your time, create quality content, bring value to the HIVE, bring value to someone who reads your content, earn rewards, and stake them!
Start from yourself! Don't wait for someone else to power up his HIVE and upvote your post... Be that person yourself and upvote others who are doing a great job here! You, me, our friends, we can be the change... That's why I power up my HIVE every single day... I believe in you... I believe in us...
If you don't like what you see, where HIVE is directed, grow your stake, and be the person who decides about that direction! So, I think that this answers the question from the beginning about my powering up in 2024!
Time to power up some HIVE!
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:
Powering UP ALL liquid Hive as always:
And the final result is:
The end of the year is near... The next stop should be 80K!
Along with participating in #HivePUD for over 2 years, I began to participate in the #HivePUM at the beginning of this year! To be more exact, I began last year, but I failed to do it... 😃
I have powered up some HIVE every single day of the year! I hope that I will continue doing that at least until the end of the year, to complete 365 days in a row!
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.
You can check all the details about the #HivePUD at the official post that you can find it here: https://inleo.io/@traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-december-1st-2023
Thank you for your valuable time,

Great work, that is another big power up! Those are some good points, we can try to be the change we would like to see! Certainly it is easier when you have control of your own stake.
Thanks!
I'm a bit tired of people who whine about certain problems while they are the problem themselves... It's not a science to understand how decentralization works... The name says it all!
Yes, there are opportunities abound I think. KYPU.
Nice I'm looking to move my HP up a bit in the month of december aswell, with all the projects I want to delegate to I'm left with so little that I'm running out of RC all of a sudden xD
Isn't better that you decide on your own whom to upvote and support, rather than giving that power to others?
I mean, I do understand the point of getting tokens for delegation, or sometimes an upvote, but in the long run, I always bet on the community that I like to support... If I'm not supporting others, it's kind of sucks to expect others to support me... 🤔
Well yeah, I like to curate myself, but when some fresh projects offer limited time tokens for HP delegations, then I just get weak for those offers :D
Best statement and motivational actions just as follow ! And so I choose how to allocate that distribution :)
Thank you for your good spirit and part in the true decentralized HIVE !
Thank you for your great comment! It's great to have you on the same side!
You're most welcome! I've to say you inspired me a lot yesterday evening and so I decided to do a massive and late HPUD 😊
Just did a rapid update about that and I hope you will not take badly that I mentioned you in this post 🤞
Have a great Saturday evening !
Wow! That's cool to hear that you got inspired by my post!
I will check out the post!!!
Have a great weekend, too!!!
Btw. I have started the Hive Witness with a friend under the name @Liotes, so if you have a spare vote, we would appreciate the support!
https://vote.hive.uno/@liotes
If not, no worries!! 🙂
Yes, you could say that I was already sort of convinced, since I've been here for a number of years, but reading about that evening made me decide even more !
Oh, I didn't know you had a shared witness, I'll go and check that out, I've still got some free votes left to support those who are getting involved and with whom I can chat as we do!
Which is far from being the case with the majority of the top 20 🙄
Thank you again @ph1102 and have a good new week ahead !
Yeah, we started the witness maybe a week ago... it's great to see all this support! We aren't big whales or such, but we are dedicated Hivians, and people appreciate it...
It's more like an experiment... Is it possible to go up in Witness ranking being voted by "ordinary" people... 😃
Thanks for the vote!!!
Oh, this why I didn't know about, it's quite recent ! I hope this will be a great journey and experiment for you both and it's great indeed to diversify the nodes with people like you involved and ready to discuss :)
Many thanks again !
Hehe, most welcome 😉
Have a good day ahead !
Great job mate, you are walking the walk and not just talking, much respect.
Thank you! That's the point, isn't it? 🙂
Or never power down until reaching a certain HP such as 10k-20k ;)
Everyone has their own goals and aspirations... Taking profits is needed, as we are allowing others to join us... ;) It's not a bad thing...
Happy HPUD and congrats for your progress!
You touched on some interesting points, and your considerations are valid!

I strongly believe in this too! Not sure how many (still) do, though.
Congrats on continuing with the 1k powerups!
You see? We do agree on many things lately... We are changing and evolving... 😃
Thank you, my friend!
I understand the logic behind copying Web 2: "Let's cater to Web 2, people, so they can remark us and join us." I think it's wrong, and they'd rather stick to their Web 2 places instead, and us, instead of finding our way, we're moving more toward the old ways. And that's general in crypto. And not just Web 2, but traditional finance too.
That's why I believe that "forcing" and trying to convince these Web 2.0 people to join HIVE makes no sense... If we create a healthy and good platform, they will come... It happened before, it will happen again...
If they are not coming, we are doing something wrong... The problem is in our platform, in us, in our way of promoting, interacting... It's hard to admit your own errors, but it is usually beneficial to do it... For the long-run success...
That's why I wrote that post about magnets and hooks, lol. We should strive to be magnets. Although that's very difficult, Splinterlands achieved it at one point, and looks like it is well-positioned to achieve it again... It would be one of the few projects that booms in more than one crypto cycle.
congrats powering up 1000HP.

Nice powerup. I think it's definitely an issue when people don't increase their own stake. Letting others control your stake doesn't really help you as much. I still haven't delegated out any HP and I think it will be a while before I end up doing so also.
I have nothing against delegating and supporting projects out there, but I'm against delegating ALL your HP to others... That's irresponsible and selfish toward other Hivians and the platform itself... It kills the point of all this...
Thanks for checking out the post and for your continuous support!
Congrats on another 1K power up! The club is surviving ;-)
Thanks! The "club" is on the edge... 😃 It's not easy to keep the pace as the bar is maybe a bit too high...
I agree, it will be difficult to keep up this pace ;-)
Congratulations on your power up
Keep going up up up
Congratulations on your power up

Thank you! It's great to see so many people powering on HivePUD!!
Did you take your part?
Unfortunately, I could not but there is always another time
Hehe nice! Powered up 10 Hive too! Cheers!

It's great to participate in HivePUD! It's a gesture that is appreciated!
Wow this is great
You just motivated it.
I believe I will hit my 1,000 hive power before this year ends
Great! Good luck in reaching your goal!

When I look at the volume of your voices and the amount of Hive you stake, I realize that I am at the very beginning...😀
But... there is time for me, I have just started my adventure...
It's important that I have a direction to go...
Luckily, I found some good and useful tips on live chat recordings with Hive members. Thanks for them @ph1102 Focused on the right path - without delegating a large(or any) amount of HP, increasing my Vote value (my sword, or shield, as you say🙂) for the benefit of the community with every HP I get, posting interesting posts, getting even the smallest Hive PUD badge - I'm moving on. With 0.006, my goal is to raise the Vote value to 0.01, then to 0.1...
For most of the people here, it didn't happen overnight, so don't worry... It will come if you are working on it 💪 As your stake grows, you will notice the "snowball" effect as you will earn not just author rewards, but bigger and bigger curation rewards... ;)
and engage!! Connect with people with similar interests as you and have fun! It's great to have someone to exchange opinions, or just talk to... and if you are earning something on the way, that's a huge win-win!
Have a great Sunday!
Yes, engagement (communication) with community members, I forgot to write that 🙂
Nice day to you too
