Nice power up. People will use their rewards in different ways, but we need some to be buying $HIVE and powering up to spread the control and rewards. I'm not against others faffing out if it improves their life, but I've not needed to in a while. I powered up yesterday, but I may use some to fund my trip to Hivefest.

Yes! More dolphin and orca accounts buying and powering up will counter-balance all the tiny accounts selling as well as the concentrating voting power of whales as well as the outflows from the DHF. Growing the amount of long-term dolphins and orcas has lots of benefits for the ecosystem.
Using some $HIVE to go to HiveFest is a huge YES! I hope I can make it this year, but it depends on a number of factors. I'll have to decide that in the coming weeks.
