New idea: Power Up Blurt TODAY!

Why wait to grow Blurt? Powering up is a good thing, so delaying power ups is a bad thing!

I've powered up over 280k BLURT so far in May! My stake is growing daily, through interest and curation rewards, my readers are getting big upvotes on their comments, and people I follow are getting big upvotes on their posts. None of that would be possible if I were playing the "Power Up Day" game! You know, where you wait until the 1st day of the next month before powering up your BLURT?

While meant as a way to encourage powering up, the way this is done (incentivizing people to wait until a later time, to all power up together on the same day) is actually just slowing the growth of those people, their friends and followers, and the platform in general. It unnecessarily gamifies the powering up experience, delaying the benefits to the individual and the community.

The "Power up day" people mean well, so it's a little uncomfortable to have to point out that it's not really a good idea. No offense intended, just keeping it real.

Growing means powering up. Why wait to grow?

I'm not against contests and promotions and other ways to encourage people to buy and power up this cryptocurrency. If that's your thing, great!

And if you want to delay your growth and the growth of the platform, you can certainly do that. But why encourage others to do the same?

I say...

Let's grow Blurt NOW! Don't delay Power ups!

Great to see BLURT jump well above the 2 cent mark in the past 24 hours! More good times coming soon.

And HIVE had a good spike today too, so moments ago I jumped on the opportunity to convert more into BLURT. I just powered up another 10,000!

Those newly-powered-up BLURT are already earning me compounding interest, already growing the platform, and they've already pushed my upvotes up to about 50 cents each! I'm not waiting for June 1st, I'm growing Blurt TODAY!
