The Man of Steem

Faster than a Bitcoin Transaction,
More powerful than a Fiat Currency,
Able to send tall stacks of Steem Coin in a single bound,
Look, up in the sky!
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's Super SPUD!

Remember, the Steem Blockchain is a 24 hours 7 Days a Week World Wide network with members of the community residing all over the World. Steem Power Up Day has now begun in parts like Tonga, Fiji and New Zealand.

SPUD5 PRIZES

The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy.

All eligible SPUD Prize participants

All who qualify will be entered into a giveaway of 5 STEEM (1 lucky winner) - Sponsored by @traciyork

(1 BRAAIB is worth ~ 13 STEEM (for South Africans anyway, when using them to buy food/beer in the real-world - non-S. Africa folk will have to wait a few more weeks before they have online value/use.)

Rules to Win Prizes for SPUD5 :

MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 150 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD5) BUT LESS than 7501 Steem Power.

MUST have a reputation score ABOVE 42 (so rank of 41.99 will Not Win)

MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD5

MUST Power Up Steem on September 1st, 2019

On September 1st, you MUST make a post about your POWER UP. It can be as simple as "I powered up X amount of Steem" to a simple picture/screenshot of your Power Up and posted to your Steem blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. IMPORTANT: Use the SPUD and/or SPUD5 Hash tags so that I can be sure to see them.

The winner must meet all 5 requirements, and will be the one with the Biggest Steem Power Up PERCENTAGE, not the biggest Power Up. This means that it will be based on the ratio between your current amount of Steem Power and the amount you power up on September 1st.

For Example:

If you have 1000 Steem Power already powered up prior to September 1, and on September 1 you complete steps 1-5 with a 100 Steem Power Up,

and

another Steemian has 200 Steem Powered up prior to September 1, and on September 1st Powers Up 40 Steem, then this 2nd user would be winning with a 20% power up versus the first example with a bigger power up but smaller percentage of only 10% based on their account.
__

The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, the Winners become official and the prizes will then be given out.

Thank you to All our SPUD Prize Sponsors and to all SPUD supporters and participants. You are helping make this initiative a Truly Amazing event!!

Cheers!
