There are at least three types of people, or better said, three types of reasons why people ask this question from the title... "How do you do it?"... The first reason is probably, just curiosity, pure boredom, or to have a small talk topic to talk about...
The second reason is that people would like to know "your secret"... And if it is possible, to copy the steps and try to reach success... Many times, there is no secret but rather hard work behind it, but it looks better if it is "presented" as a secret... :)
And the third reason is very common... It's the reason that gives you the reason to invent excuses... "It was easy for him as he had a lot of money in the first place"... or... "He did as everyone helped him and nobody wants to help me"... or... "He was lucky to have that and that"...

I belong in the second category... I would like to know how it is done and try to do it myself... It is more like a challenge that motivates me to push and try to reach the goal...
On the other side, I do understand that things/steps that work for someone else don't mean that they will work for me, as we are all different... But having an example, or even better, having more examples can help in creating your OWN strategy, creating your own path to the goal! It's like a puzzle, you take different approaches and create your UNIQUE solution...
How do I do my 1K Hive power-ups every #HivePUD?
Lately, I haven't purchased any HIVE tokens with my fiat money, and all that I power up are my earnings from the HIVE ecosystem specifically... Also, I'm lucky that I don't have to power down or withdraw funds at the moment as that would be painful with this low HIVE price...
During the past years, I have accumulated different tokens on Hive-Engine, taken some profits in stablecoins, and in the end, used those funds to add liquidity to a couple of Diesel Pools... The rewards that I get from doing that are exchanged into SWAP.HIVE, and later on, into the HIVE...
I'm actively playing a couple of games here on HIVE, and I'm taking some profits from each of them... It's not some crazy amount as I reinvest most of the earnings, but it adds up over time and helps in collecting those 1K needed for #HivePUD
I run the Hive-Engine node and I exchange part of the earnings into HIVE
Over time, I have accumulated a significant amount of some tribe tokens... As they are staked, I do earn curation rewards from that and I do exchange part of those earnings into HIVE.
I have bought a couple of H-E miners that are bringing stable earnings day by day...
I have delegated HivePower from my gaming account (and some from my main account), and for doing that, I receive dividends that I exchange into HIVE...
The rest of the funds come from my author rewards from the posts... When the HIVE price is low (in my opinion), I buy tokens with my HBD...
...and that's it! That's my "secret"... Feel free to implement some of these "tricks" to generate more HIVE and progress faster in accumulating more HivePower! But, don't forget to STAY FOCUSED on your main goal!
How do you do it? Please share in the comment section!
Back to the most important thing of the day! 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 Next stop is 75K Hive Power!!!
Another 1K power-up under my belt and I'm happy that I'm able to do it for this long! It is the 9th 1K power-up this year and the 23rd 1K power-up in a row! If I succeed in doing it next month, it will be 2 full years of continuously doing this...
The other "tradition" that I would like to nurture is participating in #HivePUM as long as possible... As it is much harder to do it than #HivePUD, I have failed to get the badge a couple of times... So, my HivePUM streak began this year, and this one is my 8th HivePUM badge in a row!
To show you how challenging is to do it, I'm showing you the graph of participants in the latest #HivePUM... As you can see, this illustrates the days in August and how many participants were eligible... Almost every day, we would lose a couple of people down on the road, and unfortunately, we lost one on the very last day...
I know how it feels to fail when you are almost at the end of the road... Look at my HivePUM participation in December 2022!
I failed to power up only once, and it was only 2 days before the end of the month! 🤦
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: @traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-september-1st-2023
