<center><h1>SPUD 007, Live and Let SPUD</h1></center>

Sticking with the James Bond theme, SPUD 007 would like to introduce the Agents of SPUD in Live and Let SPUD. These Steem Agents of SPUD are the great sponsors of the prizes for our November SPUD event. The prize sponsors give Agent SPUD 007 the inspiration to keep fighting for the STEEM Blockchain. 

It is said that a movement begins with the first follower or believer. In this case, our first sponsor was @xpilar with his powerful crew in @sultan-aceh @reflektor  @hingsten and @bippe . They are committed to working with SPUD in order to bring in other participants and supporters. 

Now other members of the STEEM community have also become Agents of SPUD by sponsoring prizes. @steemit-nz  @improv @traciyork  and @daviddickeyyall are doing there part in sponsoring prizes for the SPUD initiative. In fact Dave has committed an even bigger prize for SPUD007, and two others will also become Agents of SPUD. Joining the ranks in protecting and supporting the Steem Blockchain by sponsoring a SPUD prize are @tattoodjay and @pennsif . 

<h2>What is SPUD and How Will It Help?</h2>
SPUD stands for STEEM POWER UP DAY, and SPUD 007 is a Steem secret agent helping to keep the Steem blockchain safe and operational while helping to get the Steem price to the Moon!

 Ok, ok, SPUD 007 is NOT a secret agent. 

Instead, SPUD 007 is simply our Steem community's seventh time having a STEEM POWER UP DAY. The first SPUD event took place May 1st 2019, and has since gained support and popularity with the Steem community to where now we have prizes sponsored by other Steemians. At this point, we have prizes totaling around 9000 Delegated Steem Power along with other smaller prizes consisting of Steem Power, Steem coins, Steem Basic Income Levels (shares) and other prizes. There are around 20 prizes to be won, so plenty of winners for those that participate.

 For those who still do not know what SPUD is, STEEM POWER UP DAY (SPUD) takes place the first day of every month.
 On this day: 

- We ask that Steemians that are able, to POWER UP any amount of STEEM they have on SPUD day.
- We ask Steemians that are currently Powering Down, to put a Stop on Powering Down for that Day, and if desired to commence the Power Down the following day.
- We ask that those that trade or sell Steem to Not Sell or Trade Steem on SPUD Day, but to do it the day before or after if possible. Also, to cancel any type of Sell Order on the Exchanges.

<h2>Stay tuned for Updated SPUD PRIZES and RULES.</h2>

_The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and aspiring Dolphins out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to the importance of Steem Power._


FULL STEEM AHEAD!
