Today I was scheduled to go to the immigration office to take care of making a passport, for the completeness of the files I had prepared everything according to the requirements requested, so after picking up Khalif at his school I also took him to accompany me through the process of obtaining this passport, because if I took him home first, I was worried that later my queue number would be called and my turn would be missed.
I sat in a waiting chair with many other passport applicants, waiting to be called into the photo room. I waited for a long time, when I entered I saw that the position of the queue number called was already at number 22, meaning that there were only 7 turns left, according to my calculations this would not take long, but it turned out that a lot of time was spent sitting in this waiting chair, even though while watching and listening to music, but the name waiting is indeed unpleasant.
While waiting, I remembered to open my Steemit account and I did my weekly routine on the platform, with enthusiasm and while getting rid of boredom, I did Power Up.
Power Up Process
Look at my profile, initially the amount of Steem Power (SP) I have is 657 SP
Going to my Wallet, it shows that I have 82.069 Steem
Then I want to Power Up by choosing the available option
Then I was directed to enter the nominal value of Steem, I wrote down the amount of 32 that will be Power Up
And for that I also need to confirm the Transfer to Vesting amount of 32 Steem
Then I was in the final step of completing the transfer process by entering my Active Key
Finally now the amount I have has been reduced to 50.069 Steem only
Power Up has been successful, which can be seen from the amount of Steem Power I have to 689 SP
The Importance of Performing Power Up
I am very grateful to be a user who continues to actively grow my Steemit account, and I think the knowledge of the benefits of doing Power Ups needs to be shared to encourage more users to do so, especially those who have just joined the platform. Don't think too much about how much Steem is converted into your Steem Power, the most important thing is to do the Power Up activity itself, because it affects:
Account Strength
With increased account strength, the trust of many other users is also getting higher, including from community administrators to curators. Users who regularly do Power Ups have directly shown their commitment to continue to be active on the platform which will lead them to the path to getting greater rewards.Steem Coin Value
One of the supporting factors for the stability of the Steem value or even its increase is the amount of Steem invested into Steemit user accounts in the form of Steem Power, this is a real contribution from users to maintain the credibility of the platform which will increase the trust of the market, making it very possible for a positive trend for the growth of the Steem Coin.Club Status
A rule in contests held in many communities requires participants to be at least in the Club5050, which illustrates that club status is a consideration for assessing a post, so that more Steem Power Ups made will help users themselves by being in a higher club and giving a good impact on reputation.
After completing the Power Up process, it wasn't long before my queue number was called, and I headed straight to Counter 1 to have my photo taken and fingerprints recorded.
