Steem Bank Power Up Challenge | SPUD4STEEM/ 17:05:2021

Hello esteem steemians, it’s a pleasure to partake in this challenge to power up our Steem power. Many do not know exactly what is Steem power and how to power up. I am going to use my wallet to show practical steps to power up our accounts.

What is Steem Power
The word power does not portray physical power but rather to me I see it as having financial strength. This has influenced over your earnings or rewards on steemit. Basically it is a token that gives steemit users more influence over post payouts and curation rewards. It kind of determines the value of users post and comments.

How to Power Up
In case you do not have Steem in your wallet, I am having Steem Backed Dollar (SBD) to buy steem and power up.
Step 1:
I login to my wallet, click on the SBD icon, click on market as seen on the screenshot below.
.

Step 2:
Click on the available SBD showing above the “SELL STEEM”. The buy Steem information will automatically filled up once you click the available SBD. Click on buy Steem icon beside the “available SBD”

Step 3:
Go to the left hand side of your Steem wallet screen and you will see the amount of Steem bought. Click on the Steem and the power up message will pop up as seen on the screenshot below.

Step 4:
Once you click on the power up, a new page opens to allow you convert your Steem to Steem power. Enter the available amount of Steem to be powered up and click on power up as seen on the screenshot below. This will require your active key to confirm the order.

Once you confirmed the order your Steem power automatically increased as seen on the screenshot below.

My Steem power increases from 1,370 to 1,415.

Thanks for this initiative that will enable us to increase our Steem power @thegreens.
