As another month starts it is time for another SPUD, aka Steem Power Up Day. This is a contest run by @streetstyle where you can win some prizes for powering up. There are some nice delegations to be had. I do not qualify due to my reputation, but I still take it as an opportunity to get some more Steem.

I have been watching the Steem price with interest. It was up over 20c again this week, but was back down to 18c this morning. I made use of the Stellar I got in the airdrop on Keybase again. I have used this up over a few months as I have no other use for it. I also used some £ to top it up. As usual I funneled this through my Wirex account and then @blocktrades to get the Steem. That only takes a few minutes.
I did this earlier, but waited until I was ready to post before powering up. Every time I add some Steem the bots try to sell their services, but I will not bite. The @pocketchange memo is his usual ranting about the unfairness of life. He is too scared to comment on the posts he buys votes for. If he declared what he had done they might be in less danger of getting downvoted.
This power up represents only about a 1% increase for me, but it adds up over the year and I keep earning Steem anyway. All I earn gets powered up. I am just over half way to orca now.
The charts from @coingecko show a spike in volume today. It is good to see Steem higher up the charts than it was recently.
I see some friends have also powered up:
- @cryptocurator added 171 Steem
- @shanibeer is powering up JAHM as added some SP too.
If anyone else is powering up then let me know and I will hand out some votes where I can. I hope to see more people get to minnow level and beyond. @tenkminnows is still supporting would-be minnows, but we are still a long way from 10,000.
Steem on!
Congrats to all who powered up. I am sitting on close to 500 STEEM that I have been waiting to power up. I think I am going to hold onto it now just in case!

Latest from @steemitblog puts a twist on this. This looks like a takeover and anyone having that much control is not good. I don't need all this drama.

When you keep power up although not include as a participant who get prize I am sure it is a GREAT thing. We support SPUD not cause prize only. But we prove our love to STeem

Good work Steve - nice yo see you invested in as well. It was the drop to 18c which helped. I think if we can resolve the elephant in the room issue within good time of 4th/6th march then it won’t be a selling pressure!

Interesting if it was these power-ups that caused the spike :)
