The joy of connecting with friends on Hive is indescribable. More so when the day also happens to be a special one on the Hive blockchain, that's double joy 😂.
Coincidentally, today being Hive power up day, happened to be another shopper's connect day, tShoKiN day 15. As usual, friends here turned out to make it another memorable day. Venue was Chicken Republic, Azikiwe Road.
I was thrilled to catch up with friends I hadn't seen since the start of the year. Although I came way behind time due to work, but I was glad some friends were still around when I arrived. In fact, it was a stroke of luck that I met them; maybe I should be grateful for the poor network connection, which made it challenging to carry out the necessary actions on distriator at first.
But you know, nothing lasts for long; so after much waiting, the network connection was restored, and everyone was able to pay for their orders and claim discounts too.
Today wasn't for jollof rice and chicken, lol. It was pretty hot, and there was no better way to cool off than enjoying a cup of ice cream; not just any ice cream but the one that would "melt my heart" away 😂.
I paid $1,333 for the cup of ice cream and claimed 15% of the amount from #distriator, which is $0.267.
You see the benefit of shopping with HBD - you earn on the spot discount, sent directly to your wallet. Now the icing on the cake is that the more you shop and claim discounts, the more you rise on the leaderboard, and who knows, you might end up winning the monthly prize for the highest shoppers.
Here's another reason to SpendHbd.
ShoKiN day wouldn't end without me capturing the moment in photos and video too. Feast your eyes 😂.
That's A Wrap On ShoKiN Day. Let's delve into Hive Power Up Day!
If you have been on the blockchain for a while now, you must have known what happens every first day of the month.
But for the sake of those who aren't aware, I'll share a bit about it.
The first (1st) of every month is known as Hive Power Up Day, a very special day on the Hive blockchain where users or members are to participate by powering up or staking a certain amount of Hive, at least 10 Hive.
Why Participate In HPUD?
Basically, powering up is one of ways to support the Hive ecosystem and help it grow. More so, your Hive power (HP), gives you influence in the community - with it, you can curate and support the works of other content creators, and you earn curator's reward. You can equally delegate HP to any community or viable projects on Hive and earn delegator's reward too.
Again, by participating in the #hpud, and powering up at least 10 Hive, you stand a chance of winning a certain amount Hive Power delegation, including getting the HPUD badge. This is the best one for me. I love seeing those arrays of badges on my Hivebuzz page.
Having said that, here's how my own power up went. I'm being intentional about my participation in the #hpud this year, and I hope not to miss any month. Also, I resolved to power up at least 20 Hive, every month. It's a little, but consistent step which will greatly help in increasing my HP.
So for this month, I powered up 20 Hive.
My total HP now sits at 2,908HP. It's building up, gradually. I'm thrilled to see the growth and encouraged to show up more on the blockchain.
Don't forget to join the fun! 😂So here's wishing you a happy #hpud!
I appreciate your visit and support.
