Hi
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 had seen the posts about this day for a long time, thus I participated in the Power Up Day for the first time in April. I use HIVE tokens I have received since the day I joined HIVE to increase my HIVE Power. Today for the second time, I participated in this event, which is held on the first day of every month, by increasing 10 HP. I hope it will be much more in the upcoming months.
Here is the proof of my powering up 10 HIVE:

I already power up all HIVE which 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, to my savings account in my wallet. As I mentioned in the previous post I shared today, my first goal on HIVE is to reach 1000 HP. After reaching this goal, I will continue to increase my voting power. As for HBD, I plan to keep some more of it in the savings account due to the raised interest rate to %20. I might use the rest 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 days, which you can power up even more.
Thank you for reading.
