(this is the #11 giveaway), but before that let's check...

(Yes this is an NFT - more below)

2022 was great, 2023 will be even better!

What a year it was for me... I can't even cope with all the amazing things that happened to me in 2022. It was somehow a life changer for me... at many levels. Personally, Professionally, Family wise, even dreaming-reality-wise... Just too much to compile in a little post like this one, but I had to share my joy!

One last 🍀 thing before we go...

I have been trying to finally convince my father to learn/use #HIVE 😜, and the last few days have been very interesting (I had an attempt some years ago, but I failed completely). He's not into the "social" part of all this, so hence the difficulty back then, but I think now I managed to light some 🔥 fire around HIVE-Engine, tokens, pools and the financial aspect of everything in the overall picture. 😎 Being a witness also helped...

Let's see where I end up... convincing/teaching a friend or a colleague is very different, from teaching YOUR FATHER! Either way, it has been entertaining to see what challenges of explaining things to him can help me out see other people's difficulties in understanding HIVE.

And let me also say that most of my focus in this "one more go" attempt is mainly to clarify the benefits of blockchain technology for me and their grandchildren within a proven worldwide exposed experiment that is maturing towards a new Era of a technology revolution. A place that any age can contribute, be a part of and enjoy the benefits of proper decentralization.

🤩 Happy 2023 Everyone! 💓

A bit in an advance indeed, as I will be going ahead of most of you into the new year, and so, here are the preparations. And when you go through it I will be watching... have fun! Enjoy life... 😎

GIVEAWAY PART STARTS HERE!!!

The PowerUp Shard 🎨 #NFT

If you haven't yet got one of these NFTs for yourself, grab one here. On this previous giveaway, I have given away some and announced (now for sale) that they will provide you with 2x delegation in case you win the draw.

(NFT disclaimer: note that there is no code automation running behind these NFT "powers", and the associated promise is something to be honoured by me and verified by the community - this is NOT to be considered an investment, but instead gamification of giveaways)

🤔 What is the HPUD?

The Hive Power Up Day (HPUD) is the 1st day of the month where Hive users are incentivized to power up HIVE.

The #HPUD badges initiative was created by the Hive account@hivebuzz team.

They will award you a super cool special badge (example below), that you can check out at https://hivebuzz.me on the POWER UP tab when you power up at least 10 HIVE on the first day of the month (UTC timezone).

Depending on how much you power up, the badge awarded will be different, the bigger the power-up, the bigger the bee will be! 😎

Also, check out the other badges and fun activities they provide and win new badges. There's a big collection already! And don't forget to check the countdown and power up at the right time.

🙄 Prize Eligibility

All you need is to be sure you do ALL of the following:

😍 PowerUp at least 10 HIVE Power (HP), on the 1st day of January (UTC Timezone) of 2022 - Check https://hivebuzz.me (POWER UP tab)
😏 You can't be powering down!
🚨 Write a comment below with the 👉ATX👈 word in it before this post curation ends! - it's very simple, and if you DON'T want to be eligible, just don't use this word! 😎

🤑 Rewards

🥇 - 1k HIVE Delegation for 1-MONTH for 3 random users
🥈 - Win 1 ATX token! 🔈🔉🔊
🥉 - 2X the above if... you hold this NFT by the time this gets drawn!
😍 - 💓BONUS💓 - the delegation winners will also benefit from an Unique #NFT out of 23 available... ASCII HIVE 2023 😁

Besides the above I usually distribute some #FREE stuff around too using "funny bot moments", but the awesome prize in my view is the #HIVE delegation! To be randomly drawn using Hive account@sentipl hive random comment picker tool after this post curation ends.

Questions❓ and others❗

Drop them below and I will try to reply as soon as I can. Otherwise, start preparing yourself for the big day!

The draw and prize distributions will be done after the end of this post curation.

(this one might take some extra days due to lots 🍻's 😜)

(the free tokens that are distributed via respective bots, can be prone to delays if they happen to exist at the moment of the commands being issued; the ATX will only be distributed if you meet the above eligibility criteria; the exact time/date for the draw after the curation period is kept secret and can happen at any time between two HPUD giveaways)
