Thanks to msharif for organizing this contest in promosteem community. I am very happy to partake in this contest. But before i go forward to explain my power up, i will first of give a brief importance of power up.

Importance of power ups
For the time i have spend on steemit and from what i have learn from my achievements task, i can say some importance of powering up includes;

• power up directly influences a steemian ; the more SP you have the greater influence you have on steemit. Your votes weigh more than someone with a lower SP.
  having SP up to 500SP, you can regulate your voting power on a post.

• As a steemian, the more your SP, the more your reputation.

• power up also helps to build a stable steemit ecosystem. When more is redrawn from a system (power down) than what its generating or more than what its offered to it( power up), the system turns to crash thus power up helps to maintain or sustain a stable steemit ecosystem.

• a steemian with SP can also delegates to a community, this will help the community to grow as the more SP power a community has, the more influence. When SP is also delegated, the community uses it by voting on newbies post thus helping them to grow.

• there also some communities such as crytoacademy that unless you have a certain amount of SP, you can't get in thus powering up helps you to join other communities and learn.

• you can also delegate SP to other steemians thats only when you power up.

Knowing all these importance, i haven't made any redrawal or power down from my account

my power up challenge

This power up was made as my own year years gift and im very happy about it.

my account before power up

I then click on steem and select power up

When you choose power up, a page will open requesting the amount of steem that you desire to power up, fill in the space and confirm transactions with you active posting key. From there check you account and will see an increase in your steem power.
