Hi fellow Hiveians,

One of the additional things I wanted to try to do besides just powering up, is see if we could get another initiative going. Powering up is great but so isn't sponsoring people via the @steembasicincome service. Let's see if we could get a "Power Up & Sponsor Day" going! I would love to try and do this at least once a month to see how it goes, more depending on how things go with my progress of getting to my 10k hive power goal.

Sponsoring

One of the great things to be able to do besides powering up is taking a small piece of that and powering up the community, so to speak.

I wasn't going to do it to just any rando I encounter here on Hive that I've attempted to engage with but I wanted to do it with consistent, active people who on the surface at least seem like they are going to be sticking around here!

I've done a lot of engaging with these folks, @bhoa, @manujune, @lyubo19, @beckie96830 and @theroad2freedom so I figured I would spend a little bit of the liquid Hive I've got and sponsor them, in addition to powering up today. (Happy accident, I sponsored @lyubo19 twice trying to figure out how to do it directly from PeakD lol)

So I invite my fellow Hiveians to indeed power up their hive but take a small portion of that hive, even 1 hive if you could spare it, and help support yourself but more importantly, help some of the lower accounts. Steem Basic Income didn't exist when I first started, at least not that I know of. To have a service where people can sponsor others so they get a bit of rewards to help them along besides the votes curators give them, is a good thing. Getting people to find your content and give it a vote that will actually give you rewards is sometimes challenging when you are new. It can be abused and certainly has, but it has helped a lot of people including me.

For those newer folks on here that aren't aware of what this is, Steem Basic Income is a way where you can send 1 hive to the account tagged in the first paragraph, @steembasicincome, and they add that to the vote pool. The more units you have in the service, the higher your vote gets. There is a limit to the vote weight to prevent abuse but it doesn't give you a vote (last I remember) unless it is over the dust threshold of 0.025$. The more units you accumulate, the more you will get for votes.

POWA UP!

I would still be remiss to say that I didn't power up in this time! Although I only had enough to power up a small amount today, I've been slamming that power up button over the past several weeks! I've reached all time high's with my hive power and now have a very attainable goal of hitting 10k hive power by the end of the year!

Thoughts?

What do y'all think? Would you join me in not only powering up next power up day, but more importantly sponsoring a newer member to help them in their journey? If you don't know who to sponsor but would like to, I would definitely recommend the group I sponsored or if you want someone else @theterminal runs some fantastic redfish outreach and curation programs to help get them going so they would definitely have some names on their list of who could use it!
