I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1003 - Blurt, BEE, WORKERBEE, and Alive Tribe Benefits - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, April 26, 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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Yesterday Ben (@benthomaswwd) sent me 50 HIVE to use for the We Are Alive Tribe, which is an incredibly kind and generous donation, and it shows just how all-in, committed, and dedicated to our beloved community that he is. Thank you very much, brother! I gave myself a night to consider all the possible uses for the 50 HIVE, as well as time frames for the various options. This morning an idea came to me, and after checking some numbers, I made what I believe is a good decision.

I checked various options for converting HIVE to SWAP.HIVE, and in the end I did so via BeeSwap, receiving 49.775 SWAP.HIVE after the conversion fees. I then swapped this 49.775 SWAP.HIVE for 131.887 BEE, which I then swapped for 22.399 WORKERBEE. I swapped in this manner because the prices were better, so I was able to get more WORKERBEE than if I had tried to buy them from the market. That's Liquidity pool magic in action!

I sent the 22.4 WORKERBEE to @aliveandthriving, where I staked it, which aside from giving that account some voting weight for Hive-Engine witnesses, is also the BEE miner token, so this should give us a helpful boost to our BEE income. We need a whole heck of a lot of BEE, so this is a long-term way of growing our holding in that extremely useful and valuable token. The more BEE that we have, the more can be allocated to diesel/liquidity pools that give excellent benefits, delegated to @bee.voter for a greater weekly HIVE income, and to restart the rewards for the ALIVE:ALIVEM liquidity pool.

I talk often about the seemingly endless need for greater investment liquidity, and on both my own account, and on the Alive Tribe's accounts, I'm constantly working to grow it, and to accelerate its growth, across both layer 1 and layer 2. While good amounts of liquidity do become available periodically, this availability does not necessarily coincide when I actually need it. That's one of the great things about diesel/liquidity, as any amount of the assets in them can be removed at any time, and immediately. I've certainly made use of that to take advantage of opportunities, and to boost growth in other areas.

This is one of the reasons that I'm so excited about Blurt and how well I've been doing there, because in addition to being able to easily and quickly send BLURT to Hive Engine, to then add to the various SWAP.BLURT pools, which once I get my liquidity past the payout threshold, will provide me with daily BLURT payouts on Blurt, I also now have a source for much-needed investment liquidity when I need it, that could be used in both layer 1 and layer 2. That is incredibly exciting, because it means that, as I continue to grow on Blurt, I'll be able to very strongly boost my assets, income, and growth in all areas, here on Hive. I am very grateful for both Hive and Blurt, that I acted on my inspiration to create accounts on them, and that I began on these sibling blockchains in the way that I did. I do many things based on intuitive nudges, and I had very strong inner pushes to create accounts on, and to dive into, both Hive and Blurt. Now I see why, of course.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little after 2PM, focusing first, as I almost always do, on photography for these posts. Once I had a satisfying batch of shots, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and once I finished that, I sharpened my machete and cleared the path going out to the milking stantion on the edge of the 400 acres of forest. When I got that task done, I took a quick asset management break up at the Flow House, after which I got my machete again to go collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. After finshing with that, I took a shower, stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to ease into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:45PM, and after some asset management, and checking my notifications on Blurt, I went to bed just a bit after 12AM. I woke up quite late, just after 8AM, still feeling that I needs more sleep, doing more asset management, getting out of bed about 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so quite a good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to dive into more photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
