Building ones Hive portfolio is through choice and option but not through compulsion. After All, it is one own life investment. Members especially, Newbies are encouraged to power up using their little resource they earn from writing posts using their free time. This isn't a command that we issue on Hivians to power up. It's one's own good to get more control in Hive Blockchain technology to be able to executive and influence more activities in the community; such as upvoting to get more curation rewards.
Powering up was one of my handicaps since I was facing prethora of issues which led me frequently withdrew my little earnings which could be used to power up my wallet. But I see it not being too late for me to catch of with the Newbies to whom I began with. One thing that always motivate me in every thing I do is Having the faith in everything I do. So, I don't easily give up even when I am losing woefully. I always keep focusing with much determinations in order to accomplish a goal ahead of me.
It is always good to do something within group you are found when you aren't forced or told to do so, but rather pursuing at your own will. It is also not a matter about the size of power, but is about how consistent you keep building up, even if it's too small and you maintain your consistency of building your portfolio for ten (10) years, you would have a strong build up. The meagre hive that you build consistently will grow to become huge in future and that is my philosophy.
Investment is consistent installment of asset having projected for long term.
How much Hive would I invest for my future to become Billionaire
We all see the journey to be long to reach the tower 🗼. But a journey of thousands mile begins with a step. If one doesn't he would be marking time at one place and there would be no improvement or development. It is not about thinking of getting rich quick, but is about the little contribution I would build in my Hive portfolio that is going to combine to get me there of my dream becoming billionaire in Hive.
Well if one ask me, it depends of my effort and how determined I am. I do not have much Hive in my wallet but I am beginning to power up with "11.125 Hive" To some Hivians, this is very low. But to me that is huge, since that is my capacity of my start up investment.
In Hive is very simple powering up your Hive. I went on to log in to my Hive wallet using my keys. I tapped on the icon for powering up. Inseted my necessary keys, approved transaction and boom 💥, I was done with powering up my Hive power as shown:
Before then, I was having 56.663 Hive power that I have Stake through my effort of sharing contents in Hive Decentralized Blockchain Technology. Staking 11.125 increased my Hive power to 67.833HP as shown below 👇:
Maximizing my Incentivization
To reach at higher level also need a greater effort, hard work and commitment. This isn't a matter of tightening oneself at a corner and explode...hahaha 😂. But, using ones mindset, creativity and proof of work (PoW) always bring good result. I need to double my effort engaging Hive Community going extra mile of rendering my good service to build hive Community as most Gurus have spent their precious to making Hive Community becoming strong as we see today. The incentives of upvotes would definitely come to my side depending of how much I also contribute to the various communities in Hive and the entire Hive Blockchain. Follow ups and feedbacks are elements of Team building and Hive Community. When I do not have all these skills and qualities then why should I worries myself of seeking incentives from Hive Community. Our efforts are paid not just expecting any manna from heaven.
What other extra Contribution?
I think this is base on option and choice looking at the perspective of individuals strength. To many Hivians have the capacity to power up their Hive wallet through external means. It sounds so good to invest in Hive if you have resources or capital to buy Bitcoin, convert to Hive and use to power up. The more Stake of Hive Tokens one have determines how much influence he has in Hive Blockchain especially in terms of curation.
It's obviously true that Stake of Hive Tokens also have some kind of effects on Hivians contribution as one would lack more control and attention. For instance, comparing the size and number of upvotes on Newbies post to that of Old experienced Hivians.
All these are what I am considering building extra resources in my Hive portfolio. I have seen that when we talk about putting effort in Hive is not only writing contents, commenting and upvoting or giving feedbacks on people's interactions, but how much contributions you make on pumping resources to empower Hive Tokens in general. It can never be done if you do not have capital. Since one needs to buy Hive from Binance or any other Cryptocurrency exchange app transfer to Hive Blockchain into his wallet.
In Summary,
That's why I see building strong Hive portfolio is a long term investment, but not just a matter of making contribution and reaping huge profits today. I need to expose myself to so many activities, contributions and making conscious effort to build a strong team. I know this dream would surely come true.
