October's #spud4steem - 1000 SP powered up (almost double dolphin)

_{Not much left to become the double dolphin. I will do my best to achieve it by the end of the year. photo - source}

The time has come - It's the 1st of October. Another month, another participation in the long tradition of powering up and making all together STEEM stronger.

It's the fourth time I am participating in #spud4steem event. This month I managed to save 1000 STEEM which I invested in my account. It's a bit less than in September, but I believe the result is still quite impressive.

If you would like to read more about this wonderful event called " #spud4steem " and organized by @kiwiscanfly . You will find the rules of the contest here

That event is organized every first day of the month. To participate you need to:

be the active user
avoid powering down your SP for the last 7 days
have 500 - 20 000 SP in your wallet (your own, not delegated)
have reputation between 40 and 75
write before at least one post with the information that you are going to participate in the event. Post has to include a screenshot from your wallet and #spud4steem tag
make power up and write another post on 1st day of the month, with a proper tag and photos of your wallet before and after powering up.

Rewards include huge delegations of SP for 21 days. Having them is a significant improvement that helps to build a powerful account in a short time.

You may also consider making one entry for #spud4steem and another contest, organized by the witness @steem-agora. It's a daily power-up event rewarded with an upvote worth a few dollars. You will find the rules here

Basically, @steem-agora offers upvotes for everyone who will transfer at least 500 STEEM from the stock market and power them up. You need to publish the screenshot of the wallet with the information about the amount of steem received from the stock market and powered up in the comment under their post. You should also include the link to the post you want to be upvoted by the witness. Remember that the post cannot be older than 24 hours.

I believe I don't have to mention to anyone why powering up is so important. If there is some newcomer who doesn't know that yet, let me just remind you very quickly.

Why power up?

it increases our voting power
it helps to gain more upvotes
it increases the value of STEEM and SBD
it allows you to contribute more to the community and gives you the right to distribute the rewards in a way you want to
most of the prognosis for STEEM shows that its value will rapidly grow in a few years so it's basically like an investigation
