HIVE Power Up Day
Is it just me, or are the months flying by? Anyway, here we are, 1st of October 2020 and another power up day community initiative organised by the industrious @traciyork who seems to be everywhere I look on Twitter and Hive! (Must be all that wickedawesomesauce juju)! Check her post out here for info on how to get involved and potentially get some prizes!
She has really made this initiative her own and galvanised multiple communities across HIVE, with the help of @hivebuzz providing some badges if you powerup a minimum of 10 HIVE or you help out someone else by powering them up 10 HIVE - more info from hivebuzz's post here.
I decided to help out @fionasfavourites after a birdy told me about the personal difficulty she is going through at the moment so hope that this little boost can help as I know she does a lot of support on newcomers posts as well. Keep it up Fiona!
Road To Orca
I'm still hopeful I can get to Orca by the end of the year which is going to be tight but fingers crossed through using dlease and sharing music, travel and other hive related blogs like tutorials, I can earn my way there!
I just got back from a 2 week digital detox and haven't had too much coming in this month but managed to scrape together nearly 60 HIVE to power up to bring my total to... wait what?!!
I'm pretty sure I pressed power UP! Let me refresh the page:
Ok, that's more like it! Think things have been a bit iffy lately with the new Hard Fork coming up next week! So, from my calculations, it's now 51,928 HP to get to Orca (that's gone up by 8HP since 2 days ago!) so I need to find another 2,095HP by the end of the year - at the moment, seeing as the amount needed goes up each day!.
Leasing HP
I've found @dlease to be a pretty easy site to use to get a return on your HP. I'm a creator so don't have time to go through and read posts as much as I'd like (with the day job and 3D life factored in as well, it's a miracle I can post at all)! So I check out dlease marketplace and see who's looking to pay for borrowing Hive Power. After doing a quick bit of research to see the account rep and what they do, I then decide if I lease or not. Nothing hard about that!
At the moment, I mostly lease to @curie who are looking to rebuild since the launch of Hive with curation and, probably a bit of sentiment as they were the ones who first put one of my travel posts on trending about 2 years ago which was an incredible feeling!
Anyway, I get about 14-15% APR on Dlease which is helping me get towards Orca so should get about 1500 HIVE in the next 3 months from that, so just got to make interesting enough content to hopefully get post rewards that will take me over the edge!
So, who's powering up today? Do you have any goals with HIVE Power or just enjoying the ride? What about other tokens like Leo or PAL etc?
Let me know and happy powering up!
