Happy #SPUD2 (Steem Power Up Day Two) June 1st 2019!

in #spud2 • 5 years ago (edited)


Today is Steem Power Up Day Two day! As I said a couple days ago, hubby & I have had a number of discussions about this cryptocurrency called Steem, and how it seems like an amazing opportunity to put my money where my blog is, so I've invested a few small amounts over the past few months.

Give how much I hate to spend money, and how little extra we have in our family of five/income of one household, this is not a decision I take lightly. But as hubby (who is also here on Steem) reminded me, sometimes you need to spend money to make money, and since I'm spending money he earned, I figured I should listen to him.

So for today's initiative by @streetstyle, called #SPUD2, or Steem Power Up Day Two, I first thought I should do twice as much as I did last time, when I bought $100 worth of Steem Power (which came out to about 276 Steem). Doing $200 worth would get me about 550 Steem.

Then I realized that I'm only 1050 Steem Power away from becoming a Minnow 1, which I believe is one step away from Dophinhood. However, the idea of dropping around $400 on cryptocurrency had me like...

Hubby once again came to my rescue, talked me out of my panic, and after a few more conversations (and a phone call to our bank after they put a hold on the Coinbase purchase), I've now spent over $500 to acquire about 1,200 Steem.

That means (if my math is correct) that adding it to the 2,464 Steem Power I already had in my wallet, will actual power me up 150% of what I had to start...I think... 😂

[EDITED TO CORRECT - after @streetstyle did the math in his update post, I realized my brain made a boo-boo. I powered up 51%, not $150...]

Which I've just done now...

So if anyone needs me, I'll be on the couch with some smelling salts. 😉 😊

Happy #SPUD2 everyone!

Again, to my readers and WordPress friends who made it this far reading my post, and who aren't familiar with Steemit (one of many social apps built on the Steem blockchain & the one I primarily use to blog) or , please feel free to ask me questions! I promise you, it's not a pyramid scheme, or cult, or anything. In fact, the only reward I would get for bringing someone over to the crypto side would be the ability to interact with you on a platform where your "like" "heart" "upvote" thingy actually has monetary value.

    Holy smokes, you are going all in on #spud and #spud2 So truly appreciate your much needed support for this movement. Truly remarkable.
    I see you have an instagram, so not sure if you are using it or not, but there is a hash tag for instagram, share2steem, and when setup correctly, you post to instagram, use the share2steem on your instagram post and it automatically sends it to Steemit, so you get to "birds with one stone."
    Again, thank you for the support and more importantly, the belief in this thing we call the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN.
    full steem ahead!

      Thanks, @streetstyle! Like I said, it's something I've been talking with hubby about for a while, and this was a good excuse to just...

      I've been upvoting & resteeming other #SPUD2 posts too, so I hope the tag makes it to Trending and/or Hot!

      And thanks for the @share2steem info - I started using it months ago, but I've been slacking as of late. I'm planning to start doing it again very soon.

      Speaking of other social media, I gave you a hash tag in my latest Tweet, and tagged @nathanmars. 😊

        You're very welcome, and thanks in return for inspiring so many to #SPUD! I plan to keep on doing it too, although from here on out, I don't think I'll be appearing on too many more of @eforucom's Daily Steem Statistics posts... 😂

                Thanks, @wonderwop! I was intimidated at first by the process, but this videos by @joeparys helped clear it all up for me. I haven't watched it recently but I'm fairly certain (even though it's a couple years old) it's still the same steps. And if I can do it, anyone can! 😂

                  @traciyork - I poweredup on Friday as I knew I wouldn't be able to on Saturday. I just took all my SBD and used that. My 12 SBD made 29 SP. I'm getting there, step by step....

                    That's wicked awesome, @fionasfavourites! Every little bit is a step in the right direction (which I remind myself when I convert 0.002 SBD payouts to Steem power...😂 ).
