If you know me, it is pretty rare that I write a post on the weekend. This is a very special day though. The first Hive Power Up Day of 2023 is going to be a big one for me. Well, bigger than some of the previous ones. Probably not as big as some of you out there!
I've been eyeing this day for quite some time now. Towards the end of 2022 I started to realize that I needed to make a renewed commitment to my Hive account. That 20% interest on my HBD savings is really exciting, but unfortunately, that growth has been at the expense of my Hive growth lately.
It's personal opinion of course, but I really feel if you have any belief in the future of Hive, you really need to be powering up your account as much as you can.
Have you ever heard the parable (or whatever) of the goose that laid the golden egg? Long story short, this goose lays golden eggs, but instead of being content with getting that perpetual passive income, the guy decides to kill it and try to get more in a lump sum. He ends up with nothing if I remember right.
The same thing applies to Hive. If you are constantly powering down and never growing your account, it is just like killing the goose that lays the golden egg.
The key thing to remember about building your stake on Hive is the fact that it isn't just your account that is growing. By increasing your vote power, you are also ensuring that other people are going to be growing as well.
Hive is gaining more and more facets each day but as far as the blogging side goes, it works the best when we are all growing our accounts.
It has been pointed out by more than one person that Hive is going to be harder and harder to get as we move further into the future. Getting as much as you can now and powering it up could be a game changer three to five years down the road.
It's very possible there is going to come a day where blogging is only 1% of the things you can do on Hive. Which means earning Hive from blogging could be close to impossible to do.
Why wouldn't we be taking advantage of that while we can.
That's my thinking anyway and a big part of the reason I have decided I need to focus in on growing my account a little more than I have in the past.
There you go, that's my short HPUD post for today. 900 bright and shiny Hive staked to my account! This is going to be a great year, I can feel it!
