I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #924 - Maximum Leverage, for Maximum Mutual Benefit! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, February 6, 2025

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Investing in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, and leveraging and growing assets here, has certainly become a passion of mine, and with that passion comes rapid learning and ever-increasing proficiency, efficiency, and effectiveness. It's no secret that this endeavor is fun for me, because I'm able to see quite quickly the useful effects of my decisions in my wallet, which then gives me even more with which to play.

Yes, it's fun, but does this leveraging and growing assets have a greater purpose? For me, it does, and it always has, because I look through the lens of creating dynamics and relationships based of Maximum Mutual Benefit (the inspiration behind our MMB [Meta-]Project) for all involved, which to me is also exceedingly fun. So you could say that I practice maximumly mutually-beneficial asset leveraging as my investment philosophy.

The Ultimate Goal of my Hive-Ecosystem investing, in both layer 1 and layer 2, is to reach the magical point where asset generation and income begins to exceed what I could easily use, both on Hive, and in my daily life. When that glorious achievement is attained, my ability assist others, both on Hive and in life, and to invest in both on and off-chain sovereignty-driven projects, will go supernova. I think y'all would indeed like me very much as a whale!

And a whale I will be (actually a Hive millionaire whale 🐳 fairy 🧚‍♂️), spreading and sprinkling goodness all over the Blockchain, every day. Although my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine took some hits last year, it's actually beginning to function rather well, which I find very exciting. My deep dive into diesel/liquidity pools was a good decision, which has had very noticeably beneficial effects, and I now intend to become one of the top liquidity provider in all the pools where I have assets. That's quite a goal, as the liquidity in some of these pools is huge!

Aside from my own token management, I now also handle most of the assets for the We Are Alive Tribe (though I need to devote more time to it), so I've been doubling up on the leveraging fun! Managing the Alive Tribe's assets is a little more challenging, because there are many accounts to juggle, and not very much time, but things are coming along pretty nicely so far. I intend to help the Alive Tribe grow its asset base immensely this year, which will directly benefit the whole community. That's a pretty noble goal to me!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, just a little before 2PM, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, putting my focus first on some photography for these posts. When I was satisfied with the batch that I had taken, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With those tasks done, I took a short token-management break (though Hive Engine didn't make it easy with the after-affects of the node attack) up at the Flow House, with my final task of the day being chopping and dumping old/used coconuts at the upper coco bar. Once I had that done, I took a shower, made myself some food in the Landing, got my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to jump into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. It was a slower night, so I mostly got everything done by around 8:30PM. I tried to do some token management, but since lots of nodes were out of sync again, Hive-Engine was mostly unusable, so I scanned my X feed, and went to bed just after 10:30PM. I woke up around 6:45AM, thankfully having slept well, trying to do more token management (nodes were partially still wonky), starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. When milking was done, I helped Ano harvest some yellow rambutan, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:30PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to first give my attention to some photography for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
