STEEM Investing Contest Issue 7, July investment by @papi.mati

Like every month, I have made a power-up, this time for 445.412 STEEM. I decided to participate in the contest in Steem Education community with 100 STEEM as the total prize pool; surprisingly, I have noticed nobody else published their entry.

If I will win the whole 100 STEEM, I will use it all to make another power-up.

Recently I have described the whole procedure of powering up in the Promo-steem, but I will gladly remind it once again. I believe that kind of information should be spread everywhere on steemit to teach others how easy it is and motivate them to do the same by making an example.

I logged in to my wallet using the Private Active Key. I clicked the list next to STEEM balance and chosen "power-up".

In the new window I entered amount I want to spend on powering up and confirmed the procedure.

Shortly after my total SP increased from 3400.146 SP to 3845.559 SP
