HPUD - Powered Up 101 HIVE (Again) – Because Mediocrity is a Disease and I'm Not Catching It

By: The guy who refuses to power up just 100 HIVE like a normie.

You ever feel like doing just enough is basically like wearing Crocs to a job interview?

Well, I powered up 101 HIVE on September 1st, 2025. Why 101 instead of 100? Because I’m still proudly living with my undiagnosed and untreated mental condition called “going the extra damn mile.”

It's not in the DSM-5, but if it were, symptoms would include:

• Rounding up when you don’t need to

• Making things harder than necessary

• Refusing to be average, even in crypto

• Obsessively collecting HiveBuzz badges like they’re Pokémon

🐝 So What’s Hive Power Up Day (HPUD), Anyway?

Let me break it down like I'm talking to my aunt who still thinks Bitcoin is “the devil’s Monopoly money”:

Hive Power Up Day (HPUD) happens on the 1st of every month. It’s when you take your liquid HIVE (the kind that just sits there, being cute) and power it up into Hive Power—which is what gives you actual influence on the blockchain.

✅ Minimum to qualify? 10 HIVE. 🏅 What do you get? A sweet badge from HiveBuzz and street cred. 🧠 Why do it? Because Hive rewards the people who contribute, curate, and support the ecosystem—not the ones just lurking in the shadows.

Back in my day, we had to beg centralized platforms for attention. Now? I click a button and suddenly my vote’s worth something. Wild times. For real.

💸 Why Powering Up Is Financially Smart (Even If You Flunked Econ)

Powering up HIVE means:

• Curation Rewards: Vote on posts, earn crypto. It’s like tipping people with money that magically boomerangs back to you.

• Influence: Your upvotes matter. Wanna support creators? Power up and become a content kingmaker.

• Passive Income Vibes: More HP = more daily payouts. Period.

So when people ask why I bother going for 101 HIVE instead of 100, I say: “Because that one extra HIVE is a micro-commitment to greatness. And also because I’m mildly unhinged. But mostly greatness.”

🚀 But Wait, There's More – Let's Talk Witnesses (And Why You Should Vote for @botlord)

Okay, serious mode for a sec.

Hive is decentralized, which means there's no Mark Zuckerlord pulling strings behind the curtain. Instead, it runs on witnesses—these are the people maintaining the network, validating blocks, and keeping Hive secure and alive.

Think of them like blockchain janitors with superpowers... except instead of mops, they wield server infrastructure, DevOps skills, and a deathly fear of downtime.

So if you like:

• Hive being up and running

• Your wallet being secure

• Zero rug pulls and maximum reliability

Then you should absolutely go vote for a witness.

And who should you vote for?

🗳️ @botlord Because he's not just running a node—he’s running it like a boss. With uptime tighter than your high school jeans and a commitment to Hive that borders on cult-level enthusiasm, @botlord deserves your vote.

Final Thought: Power Up, Show Up, Level Up

If you’re serious about Hive, powering up is the move. It’s like lifting weights for your account. Every month you show up, you grow. You get stronger. You become more valuable to the ecosystem.

Whether it’s 10 HIVE or 101 (ahem), the point is: show the hell up.

Because this isn't some lazy airdrop culture. This is Hive. You earn. You engage. You invest in the future.

And in the wise words of literally every over-caffeinated entrepreneur on YouTube:

“You’re one click away from changing your life. Or at least earning more curation rewards. Just saying…”

Now go power up. Vote @botlord. Collect those badges. And stop acting like 100 is enough. You’re better than that.
