LPUD - Its Dec 15th - last LPUD of 2023 !

Wow - we only have a couple of weeks of 2023 left and its Leo Power Up Day again - the last one this year.

I've just completed my monthly power up of 150 LEO !

I've only missed one LPUD this year, and its also the only one since the initiative started. Todays power-up brings my staked total to 3405 LP - which is great !

Its been nice to see the price of LEO holding at around the $0.15 mark since the November HPUD. I understand thats to do with ad revenue from the inleo interface. Here's hoping it continues or even better, increases !

Heres why I enjoy LPUD:

• Its a great community event, and I love seeing the buzz created by it each month,
• It encourages me to make regular savings,
• DCA'ing (Dollar Cost Averaging) into a position is a wise move as that helps to smooth out the bumps in price over the long term,
• Staking LEO benefits the wider community and hopefully the price of LEO too,
• It helps support the #leofinance movement long term, which is surely a benefit to us all and the HIVE blockchain in general,
• And you might land one of the lovely juicy LPUD prizes and delegations !!!!

So lots of positives, and I cant think of any negatives.

I manage to generate the majority of the LEO I need each month for LPUD passively:

• I have a 1500 HP delegation to @leo.voter, which brings in the majority that I need each month - it pays out LEO daily,
• I then delegate all of my LP to @india-leo for curation rewards, which also pays out daily,
• I then get other bits and pieces from being active in the community - I post a few articles weekly to Leofinance, and I also engage and post in threads most days.

Anyway, best of luck to anyone else joining in on LPUD today - heres hoping you land one of those lovely prizes !!!!

All the best from Scotland
