I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #622 - Trading on Hive Engine, Our Own Decentralized Exchange - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, April 10, 2024

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

While it is taking some time and patience, I am successfully growing my trading assets on Hive Engine in punctuated leaps. From the original 18.2 LTC sent to me as a 'thank you' gift, to a little over 19.3 LTC now, my Hive-Engine trading fund is certainly increasing, which gives me ever-greater leverage in my trades, which of course allows me to grow it even faster. Soon it will eclipse the value of my assets in layer 1, and when it does, I'll easily be able to strongly and consistently boost my layer-1 growth in Hive Power and HBD in Savings. That's the plan, which is unfolding quite well so far.

The fact that we have our own decentralized exchange (DEX) here on Hive, and a really good one at that, is absolutely incredible. What's even more amazing, not only can we trade HIVE (as SWAP.HIVE) against any token in layer 2, but we also have the ability to trade it against cryptocurrencies from other blockchains, like SWAP.BTC, SWAP.LTC, SWAP.DOGE, SWAP.BCH, SWAP.MATIC, along with several others. Intelligent asset leveraging is what this is all about, and with which we can generate quite substantial wealth over time.

Since it's a decentralized exchange in Hive's layer 2, and because we own our keys, and therefor our assets, nobody can take our assets from us, and we can use them however we want. No users of centralized exchanges (CEXes) can say that, where they are at the whim and mercy of those who run such exchanges, and where they don't truly own their assets, since they don't control the keys, and as such they could easily be taken, with little to no way of recovering them.

Self-custodial wallets, like we have here on Hive, and that also exist on other sovereignty-driven blockchains where I am active, such as Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon, are a big deal, because it means that we truly own the token assets held within them. The significance of this will become glaringly obvious quite soon I'd say. We have truly astonishing potentials on Hive to create ever-growing, sustainable, lasting, and unseizable assets and wealth. That is a game changer.

After leaving the Flow House yesterday, Wednesday, around 2PM, I strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and took more photos for these posts, first. Once those were done, I led another cacao-planting party, working with seveveral other people to find suitable spots, clear, dig holes, and plant four more cacao trees, near the Casbah. Due to poor planning on Ano's part, several of us, and a few other people too, needed to help unload mulch from Ano's truck into wheelbarrows and large pots, to then distribute around young coconut trees in the front orchard. That took a few hours more. By the time we were done, I was exhausted.

After work, I took a long hot shower, made myself some food (of which I barely ate anything), and then I headed back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Sadly I was not able to get fully caught up on notifications for the third day in a row, this time only getting to within 13 hours of being fully up to date. After a short round of token management, I went to bed a little after 12:30AM, thankfully sleeping well, waking up just before 6AM, turning on the generator (as the solar electrical system has crashed), doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee (I didn't make it yesterday because I ran out of an important ingredient).

It's just before 1:15PM now, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, take more photos for tomorrow's version of this post, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

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

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
