I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1018 - Another Idea to Rectify My Hive.Trading Mistake - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, May 11, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my post yesterday I talked about how, in one critical moment of not paying sufficient attention, I had made a major blunder when I activated the AI-bot-trading profile on Hive.Trading for a six-month trading run, by forgetting to choose the correct one. Yep, not cool at all, and man do I feel stupid. As I assessed my possible options, however, an idea came to me that would allow me to rectify my error without losing funds, at least not in the long-term.

Since it's apparently not possible to switch bot profiles after one has been activated, and I'm really not keen on wasting resources, I think I'm going to let the present profile run (on @tydyn.rain), but with fewer HIVE-HBD assets, and then as soon as I have enough SWAP.HIVE, to buy another 3 HELIOS to activate the correct trading profile on a third account (@mmb-dontations), with most of the trading fund, also for a six-month run. This way, I'll still be generating profit with both profiles, which would easily make up for the 6 HELIOS burned to activate them, so no resources would be wasted.

This option feels a lot better to me than simply buying another 3 HELIOS, deactivating the incorrectly-chosen trading profile, and burning the HELIOS to activate the new correct profile, since the 1.75 SWAP.HIVE spent on the HELIOS won't be in vain. Since I'll have two accounts trading, I will indeed likely have to skim off some of my liquid HIVE and HBD to boost the trading fund on at least one of them (the account running the correct profile).

AI-bot trading has proven itself to be a viable way to grow liquid HIVE and HBD, abeit rather slowly when the trading fund is on the small side. Now that I have a clearer idea of which bots are more profitable over time, and under varying market conditions, I will slowly keep adding liquid HIVE and HBD to the trading fund of the account running the more-effective bot profile.

Despite my significant mistake yesterday, I'm still very excited about the possibilities with these two 6-month AI-bot-trading runs. AI-bot trading opens a whole new domain of investing and asset-leveraging for me, and is now a fifth component of my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine, to complement HP and HBD in Savings, income tokens, layer-1 and layer-2 delegations, and diesel/liquidity pools. Have I mentioned that this is becoming more and more fun and exciting to me the longer that I do it?

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, very late indeed, around 3:15PM, mostly due to it raining, and since I didn't relish the idea of collecting cow food in the rain, I got my machete and I went to do that first, between rain showers. After collecting cow food, I focused on some photography for these posts, and then a bit of time working in my nursery. Once I finished up there, I took a shower, made myself some food (ground beef, eggs, pepperjack cheese, onions, tomatoes, sea salt, and olive oil) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand (both, actually), I headed back to the Flow House to gently dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by just after 10:45PM, and after some asset management and (liquidity) pool assessment, I went to bed a bit before 12:30AM. I woke up round 6:45AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 154th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 9,700 HP This Week, and another XV Opportunity Seized, and then to start immediately on this post. It's now just before 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 later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for these posts, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then community/land work. A women to whom I'm giving a session on Friday, wanted another shorter focused session tomorrow morning, 9AM, so I still have to prepare the Flow House for that. I don't usually give morning sessions, but I wanted to make it work for her. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
