I Reached 1000 SP

Lunch today we did at a meatball restaurant, with the weather where the sky does not look bright, my wife and I are both in the mood to eat in a place that is near the rice fields. The menu offered here is quite varied, not just meatballs which are indeed a mainstay dish, there are also many rice menus and various noodles. This time I ordered fried catfish rice, my wife was excited with fried chicken rice, Khalif was consistent with fried tilapia rice, while Kahfi and Keenan took turns eating meatball noodles and french fries.

After finishing all the dishes, we were still sitting around happily enjoying the atmosphere, my children were also entertained by playing on the swings provided in this restaurant area. However, the day was getting cloudier, and as the drizzling rain arrived, I took the kids into a sheltered area. Then I showed them the view of the rice fields being hit by the rain, my children enjoying the exotic moment.

After a while, it turned out that the rain had not stopped. While waiting, my family and I took some photos and joked around, after which I remembered to open my Steemit account and do a Power Up.

Power Up Process

Look at my profile, initially the amount of Steem Power (SP) I have is 966 SP

Going to my Wallet, it shows that I have 206.447 Steem

Then I want to Power Up by choosing the available option

Then I was directed to enter the nominal value of Steem, I wrote down the amount of 35 that will be Power Up

And for that I also need to confirm the Transfer to Vesting amount of 35 Steem

Then I was in the final step of completing the transfer process by entering my Active Key

Finally now the amount I have has been reduced to 171.447 Steem only

Power Up has been successful, which can be seen from the amount of Steem Power I have to 1,001 SP

The Importance of Performing Power Up

I am very grateful to be a user who continues to actively grow my Steemit account, and I think the knowledge of the benefits of doing Power Ups needs to be shared to encourage more users to do so, especially those who have just joined the platform. Don't think too much about how much Steem is converted into your Steem Power, the most important thing is to do the Power Up activity itself, because it affects:

1. Account Strength
   With increased account strength, the trust of many other users is also getting higher, including from community administrators to curators. Users who regularly do Power Ups have directly shown their commitment to continue to be active on the platform which will lead them to the path to getting greater rewards.

2. Steem Coin Value
   One of the supporting factors for the stability of the Steem value or even its increase is the amount of Steem invested into Steemit user accounts in the form of Steem Power, this is a real contribution from users to maintain the credibility of the platform which will increase the trust of the market, making it very possible for a positive trend for the growth of the Steem Coin.

3. Club Status
   A rule in contests held in many communities requires participants to be at least in the Club5050, which illustrates that club status is a consideration for assessing a post, so that more Steem Power Ups made will help users themselves by being in a higher club and giving a good impact on reputation.

After finishing the Power Up process, my family and I wanted to go home immediately, even though the rain had not stopped, so I ran to the car to get an umbrella and then took my wife and children into the car, and headed back home.
