I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1020 - Second AI-Trading Bot Activated & Ecency Leaderboard Champs Ends - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, May 13, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I mentioned recently in these posts, I had made a major blunder when activating an AI-bot-trading profile on Hive.Trading for a six-month trading run, by forgetting to select the correct profile (it defaulted to a non-ideal one), and that to rectify my error, I was intending to start the correct bot profile on a second account, once I had enough SWAP.HIVE to buy 3 more HELIOS tokens to activate it, and to just let the incorrectly-chosen bot run concurrently. Well, last night I was able to scrap together sufficient SWAP.HIVE for the HELIOS, and to get the correctly-chosen bot profile activated for its own six-month trading run. I made sure that both accounts being used had sufficient resource credits for trading, and I skimmed off some of my liquid HIVE and HBD to send to the account running the incorrectly-chosen profile, with the trading fund that was on that account being sent to the account running the correctly-chosen profile, since it had more assets.

So now I have two different AI-trading bots running on two accounts for the next six months, though with far lower initial trading funds than I had hoped. I was considering withdrawing my large chunk of HBD in Savings to add to the trading fund, but I chose against that because the trading APR turned up to be less than 15%, around 10%, so just keeping my HBD in Savings was a better option. I'm very curious to see how these two different bots do over the next six months. It would be a cool experiment to run all four AI-bot-trading profiles over six months on four accounts simultaneously, to gage their flexibility under varying market conditions. I might just do that at some point.

On a slightly different investment topic, I noticed that after strongly boosting my liquidity in the SPS:PKM pool, and establishing a reasonable starting position in the DEC:SPS pool, that that earning fees finally kicked in for the SPS:PKM pool, but that they didn't for the DEC:SPS pool, although I can now claim SPS in Splinterlands for having liquidity in that pool. The DEC:SPS pool has almost 8.25 times more liquidity than the SPS:PKM pool, so that's the likely reason. Generally, the higher the total liquidity a pool has, the more assets are required to trigger fees being earned in it. I'll strongly augment my stake in both pools this coming Tuesday, when my second batch of SPS unstakes in Splinterlands.

This coming Tuesday is also the day that the XV investment project wraps up, and the profits are used to buy back the tokens. I'm waiting as patiently as I can, but with huge anticipation, and all my fingers and toes crossed. Things are still looking good, and we're so close!

I learned last night that the Ecency Leaderboard Champs, which is hosted by @melinda010100, has come to an and, at least for now, with the last one being this past Monday's edition. This is sad news for me, and I do hope that it reappears again soon, as I loved being a part of it, and the rewards definitely helped my growth. Although I won't be rewarded for it any longer, it won't change how I do things, as all I ever did anyway was to just work to get through my notifications each day, so that will continue. This is now the second community engagement challenge that has ended during my time in it, joining the Hive Engagement League, where I was the last one at the #1 spot. Oh well, things change, and life goes on. I just keep doing what I'm here to do every day, and have appreciation and gratitude for what comes from it.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, once I had wrapped up my Hive tasks, a bit on the late side again, just after 3PM, jumping first into some photography for these posts, and with that done to my satisfaction, grabbing my machete to go collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. When I had that completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I went to chop and dump old and used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area. After finishing with that, I took a shower, stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing 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 had a fair number last night, so I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop around 10:30PM, to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 373 - Jabuticaba Shadows, to do some asset management, pool analysis, and then go to bed around 12AM. I woke up around 6AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 7AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 11AM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled at 1:30PM. 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
