Hi Hiveans

First of all, I would like to thank @hivebuzz, @traciyork and the others who made a very meaningful and useful event for the HIVE Community. I participated in the HIVE Power Up Day for the first time in April, 2022. Today I participated in this event by increasing 10 HP for the fourth time, which is held on the first day of every month. I hope it will be much more when I have reached a certain HIVE Power. I already use HIVE tokens I have received since the day I joined HIVE to increase my HIVE Power.

Here is the proof of my powering up 10 HIVE:

I already power up all HIVE I receive from curation and author rewards once a week. Except that, I get %20 annual interest payout by transferring HBD, I receive together with HIVE, into my savings account in my wallet. As I mentioned in the previous [post](https://ecency.com/hive-117778/@videoaddiction/hivestats-monthly-progress-june-2022) I shared today, my first goal on HIVE is to reach 1000 HP. I have been going to my goal step by step. After reaching this goal, I will continue to increase my voting power. As for HBD, I plan to keep much more HBD in the savings account due to the raised interest rate to %20. I sometimes use the HBD interest payouts to increase my voting power.

As I stated in my previous posts, I see HIVE as a long-term investment. I also think that HIVE Power needs to be increased up to a specific goal for a stronger account and a stronger HIVE community. This goal can be 1000 HP, 5000 HP, 10000 HP or even more. Especially new members want to immediately cash out the HIVE or HBD they earn here. I don't recommend it; however there is nothing to do if you need to spend it. I think that the HIVE platform and HIVE will be very valuable in the future, and I take my steps accordingly.

May you have many days to power up even more.

Thank you for reading.
