With the great success of the Hivebuzz Hive Power Up Day on the first of every month and with great prizes to be had if a Hive user powers up on the first of the month, there are now plans for a Blanchy's Hive Power Down Day Initiative to happen at the end of each month. During this day the awards will be given out to any account that powers down the most. The plan is to interview the user that has powered down and points will be given to the most dramatic power down. People power down for many reasons so Hive Power Down whether it is being a broke ass, nagger, not a fan of Hive anymore or a disagreement, we don't judge. Blanchy's Power Down Initiative will award as follows. Please note that the prizes will be given in liquid Hive so the user can just add that to their withdrawal amount when they do decide to get out of Dodge.
+10 points are given if the user has been around since Steem but has become wary whether Hive is going to go anywhere. This is the most common powerdown on Hive at the moment. Users should send a photo around a time when they commented "When SMT's?" under a Ned Scott post.
+20 points are given to the naggers and conspiracy theorists account that has powered down due to constantly getting downvoted by whales. Blanchy's Powerdown Initiative looks kindly on these users. They can't touch your liquid Hive that you win my little annoying thin foil helmet wearing pal!.
+50 points are awarded to broke asses who have powered down to feed their family or pay their rent. Magic internet money has come to their rescue and got them out of a hole. They remain active in the community until they have their next emergency and due to bad planning and compulsive gambling on crypto , there always is a next emergency. But at Blanchy's powerdown monthly initiative we think gambling is fun but we still want you to feed your baby so this is looked very kindly on. A photo of malnourishment will go some way to winning the monthly prize.
+50 points. We are awarding 50 points for the any migrants who used their Hive Power to make the move to Europe. It is a better life here and the money is good. And what better way to pay the burly guy in front of the shipping container who takes your passport than with your rewards from Hive Power Down Day. An extra $20 in liquid Hive can get you a peephole and peehole. Which ever way you want to do it. Why not powerdown more and buy a life jacket? A photo in the shipping container would be favourable but save your battery and just send us a picture of the dingy on the other side.
+100 points Tantrums. 100 points are awards to powerdown tantrums that are caused when the Hive user becomes disillusioned by the blockchain and are frustrated around the lack of progress in Hive since it became a "decentralised". They lay their cards out on the table and hit the powerdown button. They will not leave however and will probably cancel their powerdown once they get a few comments such as "U OK hun?" on their posts. But the tantrum powerdown is one of the best powerdowns so we award it handsomely.
+100 points Scams: We are awarding 100 points to any accounts that are powering down after obtaining most of their Hive Power through fund raising scams that promised an ROI in the future to users but decided rug pull and withdraw the funds instead for their own benefit. That is against the law you say? Imagine heading to a police station and explaining to some police man around the the inner workings of Hive. Blanchy's Power Down Initiative does not judge. Those people were fools in the first place for thinking your snakes & ladders/ludo/bridge / trading card game was going to take off in the first place. You go lie on your hammock and maybe you will win a nice prize. We still love you and it will all blow over.
- +150 points cute whores are awarded to the cute whores (as we call them in Ireland) who power down so they can buy something nice from their rewards rather than risking the token doing down in the future when Binance makes up its mind to finally take it off their exchange. Whereas the fantasists who predict Hive will go to $10 and this will happen just b'cause, the cute whores are cashing in Hive and buying something nice out of their hard earned rewards. Hive power doesn't do anything but give a people 10 cents plus for their lovely little posts. A nice new Apple Macbook pro or a holiday are some of the things people buy from their rewards. A photo of the little something they have purchased would be favourable on Blanchy's Powerdown day. So when the shit does hit the fan in a year or two , these cute whores will have something to show for their posty macpostersons rather than just wasted time and a pipe dream that they will have a full time job as a Hive blogger in the future.
So there you have it. Let us al celebrate people powering down because they are all more intelligent than the rest of us. Send us your powerdown stories at the end of the month to be in with a chance of winning a couple of cents.
Oh, that's absolutely spiffing.😆
So how many points if I power down for all reasons listed?
it would want to be some photo for all of the reasons 😃
Powerdown? I'd do anything for a couple of cents but I won't do that! But I could provide a photo of a shipping container. Is there any way atall atall that I could qualify?
Decent aul stash you have squirreled away there @deirdyweirdy (for a dub) . You are a woman of morals. Imagine how many chicken coops you can buy out of that!! You could be dining out on coddle for the rest of your life if you powered down. Unfortunately it does not qualify you for Powerdown monthly. Get the boat.
I Power Down to buy Fart Jars online from hot chicks!
Photos of an empty jar will not suffice for points. I will however take delivery of a jar to my home address. DM me. If the jars are of described then I will give you 1000 points. My question is how do you know they are hot chicks farting into the jars and not a 60 year old fat lad who was all night on the Guinness?
I don't know for sure, I am too trusting, it's all about the fantasy anyway haha!!!
I know ahhhh a hot chick ahhh that will send you a really smelly fart jar for 50 Hive per week. Real eggy ones as well. And she'ssss really hot. Just transfer me the funds and I'll , I mean she, will supply a good sturdy jar.
And this is how we keep value in HIVE, apply social pressure to never ever power down and don't dare even consider selling. :-)
The perception that we are a great community over a mere crypto asset is the great trick in Hive. The clever cash in some at least.
I'm tempted to power down and throw a tantrum just so I can get those sweet sweet 100 power-down points!
It will be soooo worth it. They will be on Hive engine automatically. Worth 0.00000000000001 Hive.
The competition is harsh on this one
How many points for power down if you have to pay to hire a hitman so you can get that perfect revenge?
Revenge to a fellow Hive user (+2000) or to someone in the neighbour hood (+500).
A combination of stories would give how many points?
I wanna power down for a cross country crypto gambling stunt.
Flunking American dollar on horse racing in france doesn't sound half bad...
Are you travelling by shipping crate to this event @seki1 ?
Amazing :)
Did you like my little picture? 😀
Master.
Haha, I live the tantrum ones the best. It's awfully kind of you not to judge 🤣🤣🤣
I spent 90% of my time on Hive searching for tantrum powerdowns and then lurk there for hours.
Haha, I just admit that's a bit of a guilty habit of mine too. Sometimes I even join in the fray to stir it up a bit 🤣🤣
Well, I have powered down to finance a trip to Scotland next month. About 2000 EUR worth of it. Okay, I won’t spend it on whores, but it still is neat!
2000 grand in Scotland will go along way. You must be spending it on cocaine then.
A Power Down is Commodity type behavior
Yeah but do we get badges though?
