I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1032 - Stake in SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.BLURT Pool Past BLURT Payout Threshold! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, May 25, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

So much about investing has to do with timing. There can be fantastic investments, but without sufficient liquidity to actually invest in them, they're not much use. It often takes time to grow particular assets to a useful level, which takes consistency and patience. When a good investment is found, however, it becomes obvious that the patience is well worth it.

I've been patiently growing my liquid BLURT on Blurt, since the last time I sent a chunk of BLURT to Hive a few weeks ago, with my first goal to get my liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.BLURT pool past 1,000 SWAP.BLURT. I'm happy to say that I was able to do the today. I just sent 604 BLURT to Hive, and after the transfer fee, I received 599.47 SWAP.BLURT in my wallet a few minutes ago. I swapped half of the SWAP.BLURT into SWAP.HIVE, then I used that to add the rest of the SWAP.BLURT info the pool, which took me past 1,000 SWAP.BURT.

Now that I finally have this pool past the 1,000-BLURT payout threshold, I should now receive daily payouts of liquid BLURT, on Blurt. That liquid BLURT can then be sent to Hive to continue investing in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.BLURT pool, in other SWAP.BLURT pools, in other diesel/liquidity pools, in various layer-2 tokens, or simply powered up on Blurt, so it's super useful, though not as long.

My plan is to first use this periodic BLURT infusion to get as many of the SWAP.BLURT pools past the payout threshold as I can, as that will help me both grow all the assets involved quickly, and to continue increasing my daily BLURT payouts on Blurt, which will keep accelerating the process. Once I have solid base in the SWAP.BLURT pools, there are a few other liquidity pools that need some boosting, to get them past the payout threshold for pool fees.

I've been investing hard into diesel pools for the last several months, with the total fiat value of my assets in them now being in the $400-500 range, so still much less than the layer 1 and layer-2 tokens in my wallet, but it's rising quite quickly. With this decision today, I've just increased my available investing liquidity, though I will still have to have some patience for the BLURT to accumulate to usable levels once again. Every investment I make opens the door for ever-larger investments in the future, and oh my goodness is it fun and exciting!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after I completed my Hive tasks, later then usual (it was Sunday, and I didn't want to rush), a little after 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then some sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. Once I felt well sunned, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With that done, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and then made my way back to the Flow House to ease into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. While I wasn't able to get through them all the night before, and I did have a lot, I was thankfully able to get fully up to date with them by just after 10:30PM, after which I did some assset management, and then I went to bed around 12AM. I woke up just before 6AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 6:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 156th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: To Surpass 9,800 HP This Week, XV Wrap-Up Review, and More Liquidity Pool Fun!, and then to begin immediately on this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a fantastic 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 focus first on photography for my posts, and straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
