PowerUp 💪 March - 🤯 WHAT A MONTH 🤪

avatar
(Edited)

(this is the #13 giveaway), but before that...

Can't really deny "everyone told me so" 😆

What's this about? Well, I have been preparing for the 💩 storm of changes coming up to me in 2023, and have somehow tried to rearrange my time spent on this amazing chain, so that I can still do the stuff I love (learning mostly but also protecting and teaching when possible), while adapting to my full-time job changes.

That kicked in last month, really hard and WHAT a month it was! Can't really say it wasn't due to lack of warning by many friends and close ones. But "yay", I am still alive and going through it. It's just a matter of time 💪 for me... I CAN DO IT! 🤦‍♂️ - so many evil metaphors in this text my gosh. It's @forkyishere fault, not mine... he's the one making up time to mess around with my head. 🤣

The reality is time sucks sometimes, and when you are trying to manage it, you are sometimes forced to take 🤯 decisions and break through some stuff so you can achieve something, slowly progressing, but to what often I like to make a point, "you're going forward". And being positive is also super important when you are under these difficult and stressful times.

Right... I had this planned to start with an encouraging message for others and almost looks like I am about to drop a bombshell. Naahhhh!

Fear not... it's just life! Deal with it @forkyishere! 😎

Anyhow, the end result is that I have been much less active on the chain, and barely trying to catch up all the time. Still managing the good stuff (infrastructure) and for the ones that know me, giving up as much support as I can at this stage. Everyone has their struggles, and that's all normal and part of life. But I am as much as I can, around... 💪

My #HIVE "little" forecast + retrospective

Not having time to go through any specifics over the last few months, I think it's fair to say, that with the expansion and parallelism currently ongoing on the main and its side-chains, I sense we are getting into that FOMO arena (for the ones still not getting it, FOMO is both "Fear Of Missing Out", or "Fricking On Massive Oversight" 😄🤦‍♂️).

There have been multiple events of pumps and resistances, but the fact that none of those stop development and the community reaction keeps evolving despite whatever news from others, tells a story one should recall from the past. Momentum is a very powerful tool, but if you can't keep fueling it, the engine will eventually stop.

This chain has what I call, unlimited potential in terms of fuel, and to that resource, I mean, people!

Lately, and being someone that isn't properly starting on blockchain technology, I can't even cope with what I already had under my radar... and that is a sign. Admitting this is somehow frustrating, but I know, that given the community is also educating and protecting itself, creating new leaders and passing on the skills to newer generations, this is really a great signal. It certainly involves other challenges, but it's going in the right direction I would say.

I see lots of users always trying to see where they could do best to help when they find and learn more about this community. And, provided people eventually do mistakes (and that's ok), the follow-up learning phase of that journey comes with new enhancements that eventually return value to this blockchain.

The future is always somehow uncertain, but from my observation, the cumulative consensus on how this blockchain technology evolves and the way it matures with its exposure, people skills and experiences from everyone, has been something unique in the #web3 space that is transforming societies all across the world. And I want to be part of it!

What about you? 😎

GIVEAWAY PART STARTS HERE!!!

The PowerUp Shard 🎨 #NFT

If you haven't yet got one of these NFTs for yourself, grab one here. On this previous giveaway, I have given away some and announced (now for sale) that they will provide you with 2x delegation in case you win the draw.

(NFT disclaimer: note that there is no code automation running behind these NFT "powers", and the associated promise is something to be honoured by me and verified by the community - this is NOT to be considered an investment, but instead gamification of giveaways)



🤔 What is the HPUD?

The Hive Power Up Day (HPUD) is the 1st day of the month where Hive users are incentivized to power up HIVE.

The #HPUD badges initiative was created by the @hivebuzz team.

They will award you a super cool special badge (example below), that you can check out at https://hivebuzz.me on the POWER UP tab when you power up at least 10 HIVE on the first day of the month (UTC timezone).

Depending on how much you power up, the badge awarded will be different, the bigger the power-up, the bigger the bee will be! 😎

Also, check out the other badges and fun activities they provide and win new badges. There's a big collection already! And don't forget to check the countdown and power up at the right time.

🙄 Prize Eligibility

All you need is to be sure you do ALL of the following:

  • 😍 PowerUp at least 10 HIVE Power (HP), on the 1st day of March (UTC Timezone) of 2023 - Check https://hivebuzz.me (POWER UP tab)
  • 😏 You can't be powering down!
  • 🚨 Write a comment below with the 👉ATX👈 word in it before this post curation ends! - it's very simple, and if you DON'T want to be eligible, just don't use this word! 😎

🤑 Rewards

🥇 - 1k HIVE Delegation for 1-MONTH for 3 random users
🥈 - Win 1 ATX token! 🔈🔉🔊
🥉 - 2X the above if... you hold this NFT by the time this gets drawn!

Besides the above I usually distribute some #FREE stuff around too using "funny bot moments", but the awesome prize in my view is the #HIVE delegation! To be randomly drawn using @sentipl hive random comment picker tool after this post curation ends.

Questions❓ and others❗

Drop them below and I will try to reply as soon as I can. Otherwise, start preparing yourself for the big day!

The draw and prize distributions will be done after the end of this post curation.

(the free tokens that are distributed via respective bots, can be prone to delays if they happen to exist at the moment of the commands being issued; the ATX will only be distributed if you meet the above eligibility criteria; the exact time/date for the draw after the curation period is kept secret and can happen at any time between two HPUD giveaways)

!LUV your work, mate. As usual, don't understand everything you say. !LOL

But that doesn't stop me wanting to sit down over !PIZZA with you and hear how everything is going!!!

Hope changes at work are good changes and that it will provide you a little more play space for you to be here on Hive.

BTW, has it stopped that crazy raining business over there yet? Brad told me that you were fine (phew!) but I saw pretty awful photos and soooooo many cancelled parkruns, so I knew NZ was hit pretty hard!

😎🥂 Appreciate the support.

I think damages from the cyclone round around 300 million dollars... (or more since things are still being accounted for) quite crazy. I know people that on the day were working from the roof of their house, because inside their home was all flooded already.

Now its hoping for things to not go crazy soon and rebuild. Trying to cope with time lately but I am all good fortunately.

Life has a way of getting in a way sometimes 😉From the hindsight we often see there was a good reason for it.

This chain was here before I was in crypto and I’m sure it will stay and progress into something more and more beautiful and I sure want to be a part of it.

Count me in for ATX 💙

No mate, not this one. Perhaps I got the Devs mixed up and thought it was you as you're the NFT game card master lol...

The one I'm talking about used to be shown as an alternative market on a RSG menu but then disappeared along with the link.

You could easily buy upto 50 cards, either uniques, skill or fans from the lowest price up.

No matter. Thanks for taking the time though, appreciated :-)

Time management has also kicked my butt lately. It can feel like a sinkhole for the mind in my experience... I have the same feeling though, stumbling is learning too! Maybe even the most important part of it. 😁

Draw🎰

Eligibility Check📡

@cryptoace33 (NEW)

  • At least 10HP power up on HPUD ✅
  • Not powering down ✅

@grindan (NEW + NFT)

  • At least 10HP power up on HPUD ✅
  • Not powering down ✅

@blitzzzz (NFT)

  • At least 10HP power up on HPUD ✅
  • Not powering down ✅

Thank you for your participation and congratulations on your prizes!

Prizes💘

@cryptoace33 - 1000 HP delegation for 1 month!
@grindan - 2000 HP delegation for 1 month!
@blitzzzz - 2000 HP delegation for 1 month!

If you own the PowerUp Shard #NFT, you will get 2x delegation, as @grindan and @blitzzzz did.

Notes: The number of wins and NEW users is just counting from when ATX started distributing (5 times now).

Special shouts for the biggest bees! @ctrpch @new.things @jane1289 @grindan @slothlydoesit

And the bouquet goes to @slothlydoesit for being the biggest of them all! This is a new thing I will start doing and either offer curation at my own consideration of one of your last posts/comments for this user or provide some sort of specialized help after looking at that person's account/posts/comments. A kind of special value because of your power-up.

Delegations and ATX distribution will be done as soon as possible when this announcement goes live.

Some changes next HPUD #giveaway!

At the next event, some stuff will change. I am going to move the giveaway "blah blah blah" rules and text into a specific post (no rewards). And that will be the place where everyone can consult the giveaway details.

Then I will do a post every month like I do already, but only with the parts where I bring the creative context of the post. Referencing that specific post with all the rules/context/etc for the running giveaway. This way, people that don't know will have to consult that post specifically to understand the rules. Let me know you view if this will be confusing or not next month.

For the ones already knowing how this goes every month, nothing will change. It will all go as it is going. People drop comments, or questions or whatever they wish to say/share and specify the keyword... and then this same verification will follow to select the winners. In the future, more will come, but for now, I want to keep changes minimal to avoid lots of confusion for the ones, coming and going to the giveaway. This way I will potentially be much less "repetitive" (for the part that corresponds to the Giveaway).

This is an attempt/experiment on how to improve giveaways. So, if more adaptation is needed, don't be surprised.

More? Yes... more changes coming! Exciting ones!

I am going to put a new incentive next HPUD for the ones buying my NFTs, so take that into consideration if you are a holder. More details in a follow-up post...

The people that interact with me, have always more advantages. So, always be thoughtful of why this blockchain has the value that it has. There is a reason for it... and people are the key factor!

Hey, thanks mate, the 2k hive delegation last month really made a difference, I am seeing my curation amount are noticeably lower now it’s gone.

Hopefully I get to win another one, keep up the good work and let me know if I can help in any way.

Helping each HIVE user in any way we can, on the daily basis (or when possible) its probably the greatest help anyone can do. I will keep doing these every month and whomever can help distribute, incentivize people to adhere and learn with it, then that's already super appreciated. And more importantly it will help the community long term, spreading the word about this ecosystem and allowing time for teaching.
