Happy New 2026 Year!!!! .:. January 1st HivePUD

It's almost the end of the day, and I have to hurry up with my #HivePUD participation! I haven't missed PUD since August 2021, and it would be a pity to break the streak!

In all these years, there were good times when everyone was doing it, and there were bad times when people left the chain and forgot about the #HivePUD and HIVE completely... Sometimes it's easy to power up, other times is hard... And in the end, it's easy to forget to do it, especially on days like today! Everyone is celebrating a New Year, spending time offline with family and friends...

Anyway, I will keep this post short, not to be too late... I wish you all the best in 2026, and I hope we will hang out a lot here on the chain, but also, IRL Hive meetups... It would be great to see some of you again, and it would be great to finally see some of you that I didn't meet...

See you around and Happy #HivePUD!!!

Back to the #HivePUD and HivePower accumulation!!!

This was my HivePower BEFORE the PowerUP:

Slow(er) start this year... 250 HIVE staked!

And the final result...

127K HivePower reached! How much can I push in 2026? 🙂

2025 was an extraordinary year... So many expectations, but not that many fulfilled ones... On the other side, I did reach my HP goal, partly thanks to the low price of HIVE... If it were high, it would be much tougher...

Regarding the December #HivePUM badge, it appears that nobody has received it yet... 😱Probably a small glitch in the system... As I did power up HIVE every single day, I suppose it will arrive eventually...

We will see how many got it when it gets fixed...

To get this badge, you should power up at least 1 HIVE every day of the month OR create a post every day with rewards set to 100% HP... Sounds easy, but it can be tricky... 🙂

So, what is #HivePUD?

Just a short introduction to HivePUD... What does it mean at all? #HivePUD is short for the Hive Power Up Day. It's an event when Hive members power up their liquid HIVE and stop any active PowerDown! It all began with great fellow Hivians @streetstyle and @traciyork, and is held every 1st day of the month.

Check out the official #HivePUD post for January here... Hurry up if you want to participate!

Thank you for your valuable time.
