Because of my [relatively] high Reputation Score and the amount of HivePower I have staked, I am no longer eligible for prizes on HivePowerUpDay (HivePUD), but that is no reason not to PowerUp! I was recently gifted with some HIVE — for which I am very grateful — by a wonderful individual on the platform. 💗 That generous gift of 250 HIVE is what I am PoweringUp this month!
This PowerUp puts me over the 21,000 HivePower mark! I am thrilled! 😁
For any new Hivean who is not familiar with the PowerUp process, here is an explanation I gave in a prior HivePUD post:
The PowerUp process is when we take liquid assets (HIVE, in this case) and stake it on-chain. In very simplistic terms, it's akin to buying stock, proving that you believe in the future of the chain. In return for the stake, those who PowerUp have a greater vote-value when they upvote posts (which, in turn, earns greater Curation Rewards), have more Resource Credits (RC) with which to transact with the blockchain, and earn 'dividends' of HP awarded periodically over time.

As a little gift to those on the platform, I submit the following graphic into Public Domain, free for use by anyone, no credit to me is necessary or desired. Just enjoy! You don't even need to download the image — simply copy the HTML code on the following line and paste it into your post!
