Continuing My Participation in HivePUD | Power Up Day, August 1, 2021

Hello everyone and welcome back. I've pretty much stayed indoors this summer due to the heat. With my underlying conditions, I have to be careful not to remain outdoors for any length of time in extreme temperatures. Besides, I have numerous indoor DIY projects that need to be completed.

So, I'm relaxing on this #sublimesunday before making my DIY project list for next; then power up for the August 1st HivePUD.

This month brings some awesome news for us Hive members who participate, but are not qualified to receive any of the prizes give-a-ways. Per the August 1st Official HivePUD Announcement post: ANNOUNCEMENT POST 🚨UPDATED🚨 - Hive Power Up Day, August 1st 2021,

Prizes for accounts who don't qualify for the main prize pool (Meaning: if your power up was under 10 Hive, your account was under 100 Hive Power or more than 8000, and/or your reputation was under 39 or over 70 before you powered up.)

All HivePUD Prize participants who DON'T qualify for the above prizes will be entered into a giveaway of 10 HIVE POWER (3 lucky winners) - Sponsored by @traciyork (courtesy of Hive supplied by @theycallmedan)

I'm one of the participants who don't qualify for prizes due to requirements stated above. I join in to support the initiative started by @streetstyle. So maybe this month, I'll be lucky to win a special prize for non-eligible participants. If not, I'll still be satisfied I participated.

I've joined in the HivePud every month since 2019. After a huge Power Up Bee last month, I've been busy saving and investing my liquid. Therefore, I'm only able to power up this month: 50 liquid Hive.

POWERING UP COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Besides investing in the Hive blockchain by powering up my liquid Hive, I also participate in Community projects. It's not the amount that counts. It's believing in a project and showing how you believe by your actions.

Wondering why you should power up? Powering up your account can help you by:

• Greater voting power on content blogs;
• More curation rewards when you vote on other bloggers' posts;
• More resource credits to perform transactions on the Hive Blockchain.

See @hiveBuzz's post on how participating in regular power ups can increase your Hive Power: Hive Power Up Day - August 1st 2021 - Hive Power Delegation

See you in September.
