It's a new month and a new beginning! The best way to start is by doing something for yourself and others. I'm repeating this post, but the importance of this routine, Hive Power Up Day, needs to be mentioned regularly, especially to newer or, let's say, less experienced users.
I will increase my Hive Power because it's one of the best things you can do on our blockchain. By doing so, you're growing, and the entire Hive Blockchain grows. So, I convert all liquid Hive (and HBD) into Hive Power.
For the 4th time this year, 61st in a row, the first day of the month has always been the day for HPUD, at least for me.
Yeah, I'll add 1000 HP to my Hive Power, even though it's Fool's Day today :)
Hive Power is a significant element of growth.
In fact, it's pretty simple - the more Hive Power you have, the more influence you have!
To continue, Hive Power Up Day is a great way to power up. HPUD gives you that opportunity, as it does on the first of every month.
You receive certain benefits for powering up on the first day of every month, but you can power up whenever you like.

Earning more curation rewards - kinda goes with point 1, but the way it works is that if you upvote content, you will earn as well (known as curation rewards), so the more Hive Power you have, the more you can potentially earn back.
Did you know that $2,159,343 in curator rewards were distributed on the Hive network in 2024?

Earning "interest" by holding/staking Hive Power - maybe you didn't know this but you will also earn HIVE passively at about 3.5% per year of what you currently have powered up so the more HIVE you have, the more you can earn from just holding/staking!
🚀
Earn by delegating - delegating is effectively "loaning" out your HIVE Power to others and some accounts may offer you a daily payment for doing so. If you have more to delegate, you can earn more by delegating which helps grow your balance even more!

How to do Power Up?
It's still relatively simple in all Hive blockchain front-ends.
You need to go to your Wallet >> Power Up, enter the amount you want, and confirm the transaction via authorization services like Keychain or HiveSigner.

Do I need to buy Hive on Binance or somewhere else?
Not!
