Hello All, This is my first post about Hive Power Up Day. I have been participting this event for months however I never post about it yet.

Before I talk to much, for you who wonder what is Hive Power Up Day anyway, you can check the official Hive Power Up Day December Post by @traciyork.

For me, I do not participate Hive Power Up Day (HPUD or HivePUD) to win any of those prize, I know I am not a thick wallet guy nor a very ambitious person who seeks the top. There are two main reasons why I keep on participting in #HPUD

1. Hive Power (HP) is important, as it says "POWER", the higher your HP is, the more powerful you are in Hive Blockchain.. The higher your HP is, the more resourceful you are to help projects in HIVE, the stronger you are in supporting authors and contributors in HIVE, and because HIVE is using Proof Of Stake (POS) mechanism so higher HP = higher opportunity in making money.
2. I want those badges. I am encouraging some of my friends to blog more on HIVE, inviting them doing blogging, posting or sharing things and thoughts on HIVE. One of the simple ways I can do is posting this #HivePUD to let them read it so they know what I have already done recently on HIVE and why I deserve to get or earn things that they don't due to higher HP.
3. Personal to do list, self check up. Else I will eat those HIVE and HBD into HIVE games.

TODAY POWER UP

I have powered up 100 HP today. It's the highest power up I have done ever. Since I knew #HivePUD on May 2022, I haven't missed any of this Power Up Day up to now. And as the time has progressed, the newer bee badges are getting fatter, I am no longer powering up on the smallest value of 10 HP.

I haven't completed any of Hive Power Up Month participation yet. I do not know whether this is fun or not, but I might try this for December 2022. However I won't take any participation on Hive Power Up Helper, because for me Helping should be frank and sincere, not something that should be set on certain goal.

THE CURRENT ME

I have 1008 HP now and I am still a minnow in Hive.

My Goals : Become A Dolphin

I need around 4600 HP to become a Hive Dolphin. That's what I get from @arcange last post about Hive Statistic and I crop part of their post below, the section 8 User Distribution:

My Action plan to achiev my goals are:

1. Participate in all Hive Power Up Day event with minimum 100 HP
2. Never Vest Out Hive Power or Powering Down
3. Participate in many events as possible which can boost up my HP, for example the last one which is happening is Hivebuzz World Cup Event. for more info about it, you can check Hivebuzz World Cup 2022 post.

Closure

Last I want to say

CONGRATULATION for you all who manage to participate on today #HivePUD, You Guys Rock!

I hope we all can survive in this Bear Market together and don't forget to pray for our dearest friends who are caught in some Crypto Misfortune. If you are one of them, I hope and pray for the best for you 🙏
