As expected, this past month of August has been terrible for me working as "Curator" or as "Author" in our blockchain...
Nothing unusual when you are on vacation, the point is that I was hoping to recover some of the lost APR by delegating to some projects with good returns, in theory... but some of them have not had the performance I expected and have not been able to offset my lack of activity... Anyway, lesson learned here, I think it would have been better to put my idle HIVE POWER to work following a good Curation Trail, I don't know... this is something I'll have to check next time I'm "Away from the Keyboard" for a long time.
As a result, the chart for tracking my organic buildup of HIVE POWER from healing and content creation alone has a big drop this past month, in fact, I've gone from getting 300 HP in July to 166 HP in August...
Fortunately, I have been able to POWER UP a good amount of HIVE in honor of #HPUD or "HIVE POWER UP DAY" which is today since we are at the beginning of the month. Although as you can see in the graph below, it wasn't just today that I did Power-Up, I usually do it a few times a month, usually every Friday (except this month for obvious reasons already explained).
Today, my power-up was a little over 22 HIVE, just to get the commemorative Badge but yesterday I also powered up some more...
All in all, I have increased around 200 HIVE my power this past month, which is always better than not doing it (LoL) or even reducing it in Bear Market times...
Have a good #HPUD!
