Two weeks ago, we had a great anniversary party of the #HHHLive show (recording is ready, but waiting for 3Speak to come back online) and there, I was running a small quiz (actually it was a whole show quiz 😃) for participants... I made 9 questions regarding the show, and I was thinking of adding one "personal" question to see how well (or not) people know me... The question would be: "What's the ph1102's favorite Hive topic?" 😃 For those who know me, this should be an easy question to answer, and that topic will be back in this show... Of course, HivePower is the answer! I like how it works, how it can benefit everyone involved, how it can help you grow, etc...

We had HivePower as a topic in our 3rd show a year ago, where we were talking about the importance of Hive Power... Also, we were talking about it shortly in the special edition show No.7, but there is never enough talk about this main advantage of HIVE among other blockchains! In the newest show, I would like to discuss HivePower delegations, which deserve to have a whole show, and I would like to hear thoughts about it from participants!
The idea for raising this topic came from one of the comments on my HivePUD post from a few days ago... As I reached 100K HivePower, one comment was about how I should delegate my HP to small accounts and spread it with others...
There is no good or bad way to use your HivePower, except for NOT using it at all! Of course, I have my opinion about HP delegations, but that doesn't mean that my way is a good way... It depends on what you want to achieve with your delegation(s)... Delegating your HivePower means that you are giving "your power" to the hands of someone else... They can use it however they want, and they are getting rewarded for using it... HivePower that you own stays in your ownership, but in some way, you are making a loan of it (you still have all rights to revoke it and "undelegate it")...
Anyways, there are some pros and cons of HP delegations, and by answering the question from the title of this post/show, you should make a list of the pros and cons of doing it! The same as when you are making some important life decisions...
Why would you like to delegate your HivePower? Is it because you would like to support a certain person giving him/her more power to "distribute"? Or do you want to support some project that does something important for the platform? Or is it because you want to get the biggest APR for your HivePower?
Where/To Whom would you like to delegate? A person, a community, a project? We can talk about the accounts to whom you are delegating... Maybe you run the project and you would like to call people to delegate HP to you. Sell us your idea and maybe you will get some HP delegations!
When is the good moment to start delegating HivePower? I know that some could say NEVER as an answer (which is also a valid one 🙂), but this question can be crucial for you as doing it too early could stop your growth...
How much HivePower should I delegate? This one is also one of the important questions... I have to go back to the Internet to find the facts that should help me with this one... The first step is Wikipedia...
Web3 (also known as Web 3.0)[1][2][3] is an idea for a new iteration of the World Wide Web which incorporates concepts such as decentralization, blockchain technologies, and token-based economics.

I would maybe add one more concept to this Wikipedia explanation, and that's "true ownership" of your content, of your POWER... In my opinion, the point of HIVE (and HivePower) is exactly what it says, you have the POWER to do things, to have/make influence, and it's important that you OWN and USE your power! We are witnessing the completely opposite things in "real life", where our powers are constantly taken out, or even worse, we are giving out easily... The human without any power isn't a human anymore...
Anyway, sorry for my long ramblings... We will have plenty of time to discuss these things in the show, so don't forget to join the show!!! As we have moved the clocks, please pay attention to the hour of the show... It is at 5 PM UTC, but the safest way is to check the Discord Show announcement, where it will show YOUR local time!
How was it in the last show? The last time we had a "Special Edition" #HHHLive show, where we were discussing topics that participants raised! We had a couple of them and we had a great discussion... As usual, these "special edition" shows are not recorded, but you can check out the official recap of the show, where I wrote briefly how it was...
For all the participants, there are some LEN tokens for attending the show, and some special rewards (in Ecency POINTS) for those who were the bravest and came on the voice during the show!!! Don't forget that NOBODY is obligated to talk in the show, so you CAN come to listen and engage with others in the text chat... 😉
Or just click on this link to lead you directly to the Event announcement, where you can see all the info!
If you would like to discuss a certain topic in future shows, please let me know in the comment section... See you soon!!!
Thank you for your time,
