I am less than a month old here in the Hive community. A novice that still takes baby steps forward one at a time, gradually exploring things that I am not familiar with, and making myself learn through the guidance of my colleagues.
Even with the short time that I have on this platform, I was able to connect, meet, and encounter remarkable people that helped me and continuously assisted me throughout my Hive journey.
I admit that there are a lot of things that make me confused, a lot of events that I have no idea about, and terminologies that I only heard for the first time when I first joined here. And one of those things is the PUD (Power Up Day).
What is that? Is it something like a normal holiday that needs to be commemorated?
Upon researching and asking, I found out that Hive Power Up Day is a special day for Hivers that is celebrated every month. It is an opportunity for everyone to participate in this event.
Today, September 1, 2022, is the Hive Power Up Day. Also the day wherein I will first participate in this big event. I know it will be a memorable part for me.
For me to participate, I just need to have at least 10 Hive to power up but since I don't have enough balance on my account, my friend @dennnmarc decided to help me to make this event possible. Thanks to you man!
As you can see in my wallet, I have 0.001 Hive tokens which are not eligible for powering up. My staked Hive Tokens or Hive Power on the other hand is 11.361.
So how can I power up if my balance is not eligible?
With the help of @dennnmarc my friend, he is the one who volunteered to power up my account. He used his extra 10 Hives for me to experience PUD. You can see from the screenshot below how generous he can be.
Upon finishing powering up my account. He has now 72.041 Hive Tokens available. There's a lot more on his balance as you can see! What are you waiting for? Go ask godfather Den this coming Christmas!

A total of 10 Hive tokens had been successfully powered up! Yay! Cheers! It's drinking time!

Overall, I have now 21.361 Hive Power! A long way to go to reach 100, 200, to 500 HP but I know that I will be able to achieve that goal someday.
After powering up, a notification suddenly popped out on my account. I received a personal badge for this Power Up Day!
In conclusion, this event is truly a remarkable experience! There's no doubt about that. I am very thankful to Denn for helping me out, I truly appreciate it. This will be not possible without your willingly helping hand. Such a good friend to treasure.
There is always a first time for everything. And Hive Power Up Day today is one of those. Thank you for this new experience!
