Don't Forget to Use Your Hive Power! .:. May 1st HivePUD
Currently, I'm in Graz, Austria, writing this post early in the morning as I couldn't sleep from the excitement of this day! The 2nd Hive @BuzzParty begins today under the name #HiveCreatorDays! We did have a (not that) small meetup last evening, but today more people will arrive and the event will officially begin!

Created in Canva.com
What you can see in the image above are the views that we had while we were traveling by train from Linz to Graz yesterday! You know that I like sunny weather, the beach, and Spain, but this... This is probably the nicest view that I've had for a long time! In my opinion, and what I saw on my trips, Austria and Slovenia had probably the nicest mountain views! Btw. I took this photo with my mobile phone, through the train window... Imagine how it looks when you are hiking outside or having a picnic! 😍

Now, the topic for today... I was participating in the "live analysis" that @livinguktaiwan did in her Apis Hive Discord (btw. don't forget to check out that initiative's main page here https://apishive.blog/), where she was doing a 1-hour mentoring session with another Hivian... She did a great job guiding the user for "dos and don'ts" on HIVE, trying to help out by sharing her experience...
One of the important things that she underlined was about USING YOUR HIVE POWER by upvoting and curating other content (posts and comments)! It sounds very simple, but people tend to forget this basic stuff... Especially newbies... One of the reasons is not understanding how HIVE curation works, and the other is undervaluing your own power...
Even when you have only a few hundred of HivePower... Even if your upvote is valued at only 1 cent... Even if you are maybe under the threshold for getting any curation rewards... It is worth UPVOTING the content that you have consumed!!
I mean, it's nice to have more HivePower and to be able to give higher upvotes, but even upvoting the post without monetary value could mean a lot to the author! It shows YOUR appreciation, and if you can add a meaningful comment to the post, that appreciation multiplies the effect!!!
So, don't be shy to support posts because your upvote is too small! The right people do respect every support, and they will respect you more as you showed the effort, and dedicated your time to check out their work and to show appreciation!

Back to the #HivePUD and HivePower accumulation!!!
This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

Another 250 HIVE staked!

And the final result...

I promised a party at 110K, but it was a quiet milestone... Maybe we can do it at 111K? 😃 That's a nice not-rounded-but-rounded number... 😃

After missing one day of power-up in March, I have to admit that I had doubts that it could happen again. As my friend @gadrian would say, the hardest moment to continue with a hustle is after failing to reach the goal! Anyway, happy to see that I got the #HivePUM badge for April as I did power-up some HIVE every single day!

35 Hivians got this badge this month! Congratulations to everyone who did it!
To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP...

So, what is #HivePUD?
Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is short for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It all began with great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork, and is held every 1st day of the month.
Check out the official #HivePUD post for March here...
Thank you for your valuable time.

Congrats mate!
We have a Turkish proverb, which literally is;
It becomes a lake drop by drop
Thus, I think it is the same situation with upvoting on HIVE. We shouldn't let our HP idle 😉
Nice saying! I think there is a very similar saying in different languages...
Powering up!
Nice! More power to share!!!! 😃
I bet at this spot of the text you'll earn a lot of manual votes :P
I completely agree with you. People always check their notifications, and if someone new appears on the list—even if the interaction is minor—they’ll eventually click on the username. The same applies to comments.
Congrats for 110k HP my maaaan and see you in a bit :D
Hehehehe... IF (those) people read it... 😃
Yeah, that too! I didn't even mention that "side-effect"
See you tomorrow! Again! 😃
Congrats, my friend! I looked up for your username this morning on hivebuzz to see see if you made it and was glad to see it. Maybe it helped that I warned you that it's hard to pick up after missing once.
About curation, I agree, that's a habit is better formed early, even without thinking about curation rewards, but more about the impression the content made on you. In time, curation rewards will come, if HP is grown and not delegated away.
Enjoy the meetup!
You did! Because of your words, I was more cautious not to miss a day! 😃
We are having a blast at these IRL meetups! Tomorrow is "presentation" day, and I think there will be live-streaming, but not sure..
PS. Why are you getting downvoted?
I'm glad you're back into the streak again.
Livestreaming would sound great, but hopefully it will also be recorded, because I'll be super-busy tomorrow and I'll have to listen to it some other day.
Because of @blurt-media. I downvoted some of their posts (dozens daily, with tribe tags many of them, after someone pointed out the abuse).
Oh... At least they don't have any HP, so no worries :)
I don't worry. Hopefully, people on Ecency who see that message that "people" are downvoting my comments, look that see that all that people are now on Blurt and not on Hive, and they have a lot of spite in them.
Happy #hpud. Going to power up in a bit.
!BBH
Happy #HivePUD to you, too! Nice to see you joining this awesome initiative!
More power to you and the people that you support! 💪
That's a lovely view I just say. Glad you powered up too and not missing out again as in March.
Thank you very much! Happy not missing a day this time! 😃
Yeah, that's a good one. Enjoy.
I love the idea of using your Hive Power and I tend to try my best each day to make sure I appreciate posts that I consume and also when you leave a comment, it multiplies the effect.
That’s a lot of HP. Congrats on the milestone.
It does have a multiplying effect... Maybe the results are not instant, but it will come... It's not about having thousands of people as followers, but more to have dozens of REAL friends and people who support you!
You are absolutely right ✅️ 🙌
Congratulations for reaching 110k HP after powering g up. This kind of feat requires dedication, perseverance and patience. I hope to get to that level some time in the nearest future.
Thank you very much! Well, the first step is to begin doing it... 😃
☑️ Done as always
Good to hear that! Supporting content with our own HP is the first step toward better distribution of future tokens... ;)
Lovely train view
Congratulations on your new badge..I did some powerup throughout last month. Hope to do more this month
Thanks! The view was astonishing!
And good to hear that you grew your HivePower!

This photo of you is beautiful 👌
We are already used to these with your HP 😀
Congratulations 1/35 PUM 🙂
Encouraged by your post, I made one myself, considering my HP today, it deserves to be written about today.
Wooohooo! Glad that you did your part on #HivePUM! More power to you and others from your community! 💪
A thing that should be esplaineto newbies, if you upvote something, it the total value is less than 0,02, the dust threshold, you won't get anything. So ok upvote, but careful not to waste vote mana
It's true, that is important info... Many things could be important to say, but at the beginning, we should keep it simple... Overwhelming newbies with too much information can be counterproductive...
Have fun there. Wish I could be with you.

It's a pity that you didn't come! You should definitely attend the next one... I already see you fitting very well with other musicians which came to this event :)
We just had a trip to Germany, so I can't really do another one right now. I'll see how it goes and it may depend on where the next Hivefest is.
There are rumors that it will be in South America, but let's wait and see... :)

Congrats on HPUM! I set a reminder for myself. Let's see if I can do it without forgetting.
Nice to see you doing it! Let's see what happens! :)
I did it!
You are my hero brother!
I hope you are doing well over there and that you are taking many, many, many pictures to remember; you should have learned that from the Maestro 😅
Hehehehe... Thanks!
You know me and pictures... When I'm in a good company, I forget to take photos... 😂 But, I did dozens... maybe a hundred... Far away from the Maestro!😂
Only 100 photos?
Congratulations @ph1102! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!

You're so right. I think that's why it's called "power". It really goes a long way to support the author.
You support one author... some other consumer supports you... That's how it works... Of course, it's not ideal on HIVE, but when it does work in that way, it's a pure pleasure to be here... :)
That's true.
Happy HPUD, and I agree. You should use up your voting power if its small on the main posts. I think it still adds up but I suggest voting on content that is likely to pass the dust threshold. Having more power helps support others on the chain when you curate.
Yeah, it's hard to upvote comments with low HP, but getting over the threshold for posts isn't that hard to do... So, maybe focus on upvoting posts at the beginning isn't a bad move...
This is a great nature shot man, I love photographing landscapes like this. Your account keeps growing man! 🚀
If you ever come to Austria, you should take a train and fill your mobile phone with tons of landscape photos like this one... 😃
