I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1013 - Why Diesel/Liquidity Pools Are Such an Excellent Investment - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, May 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I know I talk a whole lot about diesel/liquidity pools, and my adventures in them, in these posts lately, but I can't help it, because despite the not-so-exciting name, liquidity pools are really quite amazing, and for multiple reasons. Just at the base level, anyone who swaps pool-paired tokens is charged a 0.25% fee, 100% of which goes to paying the liquidity providers, and those accrued fees have around a 10+% APR. Now on top of that, many pools also offer daily liquidity pool rewards in a vast array of useful and valuable assets (yes, there are some that aren't very useful too), which often have very high APRs.

The best analogy for having assets in liquidity pools that pay pool fees, but that don't offer liquidity rewards, is a bank savings account, though with a far better APR. We can't use our assets until we remove them from the pool, but while they're in there they're earning pool feels, so these assets are always growing (as long as we're past the payout threshold). Pools that offer liquidity rewards, and often with quite high APRs to boot, are like a savings account on steroids, taking the benefits to liquidity providers to a whole new level.

As with many things on Hive, diesel/liquidity pools included, the more we have, the better our income, and the faster these assets grows. In some pools we may notice few to no benefits, either in pool fees or liquidity rewards, if we add only a small amount of liquidity. Once the payment thresholds for each pool are reached, however, rewards and/or fees can often begin flowing quite nicely.

Becoming a liquidity pool provider is both a contribution and service, which is why pool fees are paid, as well as an investment, because we can benefit immensely from adding sufficient liquidity to various pools. Since it is an investment, knowing the tokens in each pool where we choose to add assets is rather important, and something I myself also need to do more thoroughly when I get more time. There are plenty of pools for solid and well-known tokens, so choosing doesn't need to be a difficult task.

If you have large amounts of assorted tokens just sitting in your wallet doing nothing, I'd suggest heading over to BeeSwap or Tribaldex, and checking to see if pools exist for them, and whether they offer daily pool rewards or not, then choosing a few to test. Daily rewards, and all sorts of other pool information, can be viewed on BeeSwap or Tribaldex, and fees earned can be assessed on Tribaldex. Let me know if you have any questions, as I'd be happy to help!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, later than I had hoped, just before 3PM, focusing first on some photography for these posts, after which I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. When I had cow food done, I took a quick asset management break up at the Flow House, before going to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then to heat up some leftover food, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, I returned to the Flow House to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot again, and I wasn't able to get through them, finally making myself stop around 11:30PM, to do some asset management, assess pools, and then to go to bed, too late, just before 1AM. I woke up around 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, writing and publishing My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 372 - Frondous Fern Shadows, getting out of bed to go to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, 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 give my attention first to photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
