HIVE, LEO, and LPs - Diversifying for HPUD

This HPUD I'm starting the year off diversifying my HIVE basket and putting my efforts into my favorite communities/projects. The financial ecosystem on HIVE is really blossoming and 2022 looks to be a year of expansion.

Participating in HPUD this month is also a no-brainer because powering up HIVE will make you eligible for some big airdrops that are coming to the platform. On Jan 6th alone, HIVE Power holders will be approved for 3 airdrops based on a snapshot of their holdings on that day...the @spknetwork token,their Larynx Miner Token, and the new P2E game coming to HIVE, @ragnarok.game.

Also, the DeFi economy is HIVE is scaling and providing more opportunities for investors so I'm easing my way into some LPs (liquidity pools) on BeeSwap and Cub Finance. I also feel like Leo Finance is grossly undervalued at the moment so I'm adding to my small stack.

With that said, here is my allocation into the HIVE ecosystem for HIVE Power Up Day:

HIVE Power - 100 (600 total)

LEO Power - 150 (651 total)

Multiple BeeSwap LPs

CUB DeFi CUB:BUSD LP - 133 CUB:50 BUSD

CUB DeFi CUB Kingdom - 100 CUB

I wasn't aware of the HPUD Helper Initiative until recently so I decided to participate in that too. This is a great idea to further push reciprocity within the community and boost engagement.

In the short term I think completing the requirements for HIVE Power Up Month (HPUM) will give me some great momentum going into the year. I've noticed there has only been a handful of people able to stick it out to the end to get the badge so I'm looking forward to the challenge.
