View this post on Hive: Stop your Power UP! Instead, do it on Steem Power Up Day (SPUD) May 1st
Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.
I just wish we wouldn't have to have such things and people would just power up automatically. If you are a long term thinker which most say they are then power up all the time and tie the Steem up in our accounts.

I believe education is the biggest hurdle here. Even those that do 'pay out in 100% Steem Power' might do so because they don't know how/why and what the economics are of the blockchain. But yes, I'm excited when I see users power up and not sell for as long as we're still in this precious building phase :-)

I'm gonna power up as much Steem as I have as I am sure a lot of people will.
It's gonna be lit ✌✌
Great post and thanks for the mention @soyrosa.
Cheers

Powering up is super important and often not understood by users who have just signed up. I'm just hoping one or two people will power up who have never done so before :D I'm all for 'tiny wins' :D Cheers and thanks for joining!

I tried to motivate people to buy Steem on Sunday with my last post. Not much activity. I will power up on May 1. I resteemed this post. Maybe it will work this time. Hope springs eternal, right.

It's a big step for many to buy STEEM - they will regret not doing it in a few months ;-) It's part of the learning process. Thanks for trying to get people to do so! And for the resteem :-) Cheers!

Hi Rosa.
You can add me to the list of SPUD-ers 😉
I just bought 750 Steem from selling other cryptos (shitcoins I bought during the last market peak and aren't ever going to recover) and with that and upcoming rewards I might even have 800-900 steem to power up on May the 1st.
Great to hear that you're joining in as well 🙂I wrote a funny post today about my plans to make dolphin on steem power up day. Finally, I shall be swimming the seas of steem as my favorite marine mammal!

One step that could increase awareness should be to either read the WP or do a test about the understanding of the economy. People still mess up with keys and have no complete understanding about how payout are calculated.

It will be interesting to see the results of this initiative.
Also it would make sense to switch to 100% steem on blogs rewards etc instead of the default 50/50 steem sbd split.
When both are below a dollar it makes more sense to go fully in on steem for rewards.
Stack steem while it's cheap!

Thanks a lot for creating content about this. So, few people did I feel. No post about this topic in trending. Really strange. Thanks to @streetstyle who created this and for all those who created content about it. I think it will be a great day anyway. I'm relly glad that a steemian like you created about this, I see you commenting almost everywhere and that's awesome. I also comment a lot. Let's make #spud trending at least tomorrow.
I just found out that the first may is an International Workers' Day as well, so it's really related, most of us worked hard to get their steem power earned and that's also great that the first may was chosen.
