When 2026 was starting to come around (read the last week in December) I got the idea that I wanted to be more proactive in growing my Hive Power.

I am just a small little minnow though so I have a ways to go...

But the idea popped into my head that I should take advantage of the Hive Buzz Power Up Days and Power Up Months...

I wanted to try to power up every day of the year at least 1 HP... And I was doing okay for a little while. But the timezone issue screwed me. I am in the New York USA timezone so the new day resets at like 7pm for me each night. And yeah well I am a idiot sometimes. So I missed a day and didn't notice

That is January 2026.. I missed the 7th and the 9th and didn't notice until the 18th when I went back to make sure I was still good... I wasn't so I gave up.

I also noticed that it didn't reward me for the January, February or March Power Up Days... which pissed me off some

Upwards and Onwards

And because of that there is a new "Hive Power Up Day" which if you live under a rock you can read about it here: @hivebuzz/pud-202604

And after checking out the Hive Buzz website (since I almost forgot about it again..) I see I have less then 7 hours on the Hive Power Up Day for April 1st to get my little badge that doesn't do anything besides give me bragging rights over those who forgot to do it!

Time to Power Up

Since I missed the last 3 months. Today is a "Put up or shut up" type of day for me.

And after checking the various ranks of Bee's you can get:

And since I have just over 100 liquid Hive in my KeyChain wallet... let's go big or go home!

Pay It Forward

If you know me then you know Crypto = Funny Money (for now at least). And because of that I like to help my friends out a bit. And since Hive Buzz has a "Power Up Helper" Badge... time to take advantage of that!

You can read more about the Helper Badge here: @hivebuzz/pud-helper

But 1 of the requirements to earn the Helper Badge is:

The helpee must NOT have been previously powered-up by another account, i.e. it must be the first time it receives a power-up from someone else.

And knowing me I have previously Powered Up this friend but F' it. I will try to get the badge and if I don't get it.. I am still helping my friend. So win win either way!

Hive account@cryptozeug I got you.. 10 HP isn't a lot but its something!

And That's All Folks

Good luck to everyone on their Hive Power Up Adventures!
