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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As many of you might have noticed, severeral layer-2 Hive projects have been struggling, failing, and even seemingly being abandoned, lately. The ARCHON/DHEDGE project, the CTP project, the DUNK project, and now the PGM project as well,
are some that come to mind. I had noticed that @pgm-curator stopped sending HP-delegation rewards, as well as stopped responding to tipping commands, a few weeks, so today I took a look in the PGM discord server, to see what was up. There, the head of the project, @zottone444, expressed that he was putting the PGM project up for sale, due to increasing lack of time to devote to it. This is indeed sad news, though hopefully someome, or even better a small team, will take the project over. We shall see.

Polish_20220714_121631044.jpg

Upon hearing this news, I recalled my HP delegation from @pgm-curator, and once it fully returns in 5 days, I'll redelegate it to another community curation account. I don't know which account I'll choose yet, but it will be to a project with a solid team and a good track record. I'll let it percolate over the next few days.

With layer-2 projects so unstable as of late, it's becoming more challenging to find good options for HP delegation, though I always have my eyes open. This is why I've been giving more focus to the far-more-stable layer-1 investments of Hive Power and HBD in Savings. I'm also building a good trading fund on Hive Engine, which will soon be able to provide me sizeable consistent chunks of liquidity, that I could then invest in either layer 1 or layer 2. I'm going to strongly boost and grow my HP and HBD in Savings, that is certain.

Polish_20220714_121631044.jpg

Investing successfully in layer 2 requires near constant adaptation, adjustments, and reallocation, to make certain that assets are being utilized in a manner that creates maximum leverage. For those with more free time this is feasible, though for people with less available time investing in layer 1 is a generally a better choice. Although investing in Hive does have its challenges, doing so is still by far one of the best investment choices I've ever made.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House a little after 2PM, focusing on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and taking photos for these posts, first. While it was a mostly sunny day, I couldn't find the motivation to do any land work, so I went for a walk around the property, and down our jungle road for a bit, taking a few more photos along the way. After my walk, I decided to make a batch of my spicy popcorn in the Landing. It came out great, and I shared it with Zai, over some marvelous conversation. After I had eaten my fill of my hearty popcorn, I transported a full propane tank from Tutu's to the Landing, to keep as a backup. Once I had that done, I returned to Flow House to start my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, getting everything done by about 9:45PM. I spent a bit of time on X, scanning my feed, then I went to bed just before 12. I slept reasonably well, waking up around 8AM, doing some token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed around 8:30AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee, and then do some body work on Ano (at his request).

It's now just after 1PM, so a marvelous 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 photos for these posts, 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.

Yes. I am searching for the options where

• I can support the community
• Utilise my AP properly without wasting it
• Spending less time here

The $ALIVE price is putting me in a more depressing state!

Those are good criteria. Aside from the Alive Tribe Curation accounts, you can delegate to @lolz.alive too. The LOLZ project has beeb going strong. Yeah, without Erik around the ALIVE price has been falling, which has me a little concerned for the future of The Alive Tribe.

Yes. LOLZ project is going forward. But, again, It's run by a single person, captaincryptic. Is there anyone beside him to run the project if anything happens to him?
Just like taskmanager!!

I delegated alive to lolz project before. Now, I have other tokens delegated there, not Alive.

Indeed, I think that is true. One individual is a point of failure. The one project that I know that has a good team, and plans in place if the founder disappears, the BRO project.

I am also quite frustrated about the layer projects! Looks like it's just wasting of effort and money.

I didn't know about the PGM project. I lost interest in it long ago.

I am not going to put my efforts into layer 2 anymore. As I have a large stake in the Alive token, I will only pursue that.

I will only concentrate on HIVE.

Yeah, layer 2 has been a bit rough lately for investing, that's for sure! It is possible to do so, but as I've been learning first hand, we need to be more discerning about the projects in which we invest. Projects that have a solid team (as opposed to one individual), clear consistent communication, and in which issues are addressed and resolved quickly, still offer more stable opportunities.

Layer 1 is still far more reliable in terms of investments, which is why I'm putting more focus there myself. I'll still invest in select layer-2 projects, just a lot more carefully. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Indeed, I know quite a few like that too. I usually work in OSes and networking too, but I learn most things quickly, and I tend to figure things out by doing them, so I've gotten pretty good at various techie things. I've done some bloody cool things at times! The trouble with accomplishing some amazing techie feat is that I could never share my success with anyone because it was another language for them, and they had no idea what I was trying to describe...😆 😅 😂 🤣 Among other things, I'm the tech and networking fellow here in the intentional community where I live. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's great to know that investing in Hive has been one of your best investment decisions.
The constant asset management at layer 2 can be challenging, but in the end, it seems to have paid off for you.

Yeah, the CTP tipping bot hasn't worked for a while unfortunately. Most CTP services aren't working so well at the moment. I heard that the project was changing ownership/leadership, so we may see life come back to the project at some point.
