SPUD, SPUD, SPUD2 IS COMING

- Win a Prize

The Steem Community has decided that June 1st, 2019 will be STEEM POWER UP DAY 2. This will be our second event where the Steem Community comes together to show our love and support of the Steem ecosystem. The beauty of this event is that everyone within the Steem community can participate in one way or another, even for those who need Steem for daily necessities.

June 1 will be a Saturday, so maybe some Steemians might find themselves on the beach just like BabyFeet Spud. Others might be at home while some other Steemians will be traveling the World. The beauty of the internet and Steem is that we can be anywhere in the World and still be an active member of this community through the many different dAPPs that now run on the STEEM Blockchain. The 50,000 or so active users on the Steem blockchain are the Ambassadors of Steem to the World. It is our job to be the intermediaries between the Crypto-World and the non-crypto World, and by showing support for SPUD2 we are telling those around us that we not only believe But personally have stake in the Steem Network, or as @steemstreems said, "skin in the game."

The first SPUD on May 1st, was an amazing event. What started with a few supporting Steemians slowly grew into a snowball. The snowball starting picking up momentum, and it quickly grew that by May 1st it had turned into an avalanche of support for SPUD. The SPUD hash tag even made it onto STEEMIT.COM's Most Popular Hash Tags List, and one Steemian's SPUD post (I believe @khaleelkazi 's post) made it onto the STEEMIT.COM's Trending List for popular STEEMIT articles.

It will be hard for SPUD2 to top the success of the first one, but I believe we can do it. There are only about Six days left after this one before June 1st 2019 is here. It will take everyone's support by re-steeming this post, creating their own SPUD posts, and the rest of us supporting them with up votes and re-steems. That is one way to participate in SPUD without having to spend any money. Read the basics of SPUD2 here to find out what SPUD is.

Now I mentioned a Steem Prize for this SPUD2 event. The prize will be 100 Steem coins for the winner, BUT it is Not meant for Dolphins, Orcas and Whales. This Steem Prize is meant to help support an up and coming Steemian with a STEEM prize to do as they please. The rules will be simple and come with no strings attached.

Rules to claim 100 Steem Prize for SPUD2 :

1. MUST have a reputation score BELOW 69.00 ( so 68.99 is good & Can participate.) AND more than 75 STEEM POWER (prior to SPUD2) BUT LESS than 5000 Steem Power.

2. MUST have a reputation score ABOVE 46 (so rank of 45.99 will Not Win)

3. MUST have at least 1 Steem Post in their blog about SPUD2

4. MUST Power Up Steem on June 1st, 2019

5. On June 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 blog, or it could be a super long dissertation on Steem Power. Please tag me in it so I can be sure to see it.

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 June 1st.

For Example:

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

and

another Steemian has 100 Steem Powered up prior to June 1, and on June 1st Powers Up 20 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.

This prize is 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. The winner 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, I will then payout the 100 Steem Prize to the Winner!!

Please let me know if there is anything I missed or should amend in order to make this a more effective prize and of course a much Better and Bigger SPUD2 Event on June 1st.

Please let all your Steemian friends know about SPUD2, and keep your eye out for other SPUD2 posts and lets give all these users some STEEM love!!

Take care everyone!!
