I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1033 - Tending My Crypto Garden - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, May 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My Hive asset leveraging and investing is very much like planting and tending a garden, where assorted crypto seeds and plants are put into fertile soil, to hopefully reach abundant fruition and an excellent harvest. Some seeds planted grow vigorously and quickly right from the start, while others do so more slowly over time. I'm always experimenting and testing potential investment opportunities, in a very similar way to how I test and experiment with new plants here where I live, with widely varying results. Some thrive, some do mediocrely, and some don't do anything at all. That's a part of the important and necessary process of learning and understanding our investment garden well, and becoming a great blockchain gardener.

Hive is where I choose to plant my main crypto garden, as the soil is very good here indeed, though I also have several other smaller crypto gardens that I'm also tending on other blockchains and platforms. Some of these, like what I'm growing on Blurt, can directly help my Hive garden to grow all the more beautifully. My Hive garden is very large, with many diverse parts and areas to it, while my off-chain gardens tend to be quite a bit smaller and simpler. The growing conditions (opportunities to invest, leverage, and grow assets) are simply better here. I love and care for all my crypto gardens, but my Hive garden is where my heart is.

I actually think that I've become so good at asset leveraging and investing on Hive exactly because of my love, passion, and easeful facility with growing and propagating my beloved plants. They're really so close in terms of the proclivities, propensities, and qualities required for their respective success. Noticing and paying attention to details, whole-system thinking, patience, persistence, perseverance, consistency, commitment, dedication, and care are all needed for both plants and crypto assets (people too, actually) to grow well. They both also require periodic adjustments and changes to reach their full potential.

I feel the same excitement each day as I check on how the seeds, plants, and the crypto investments that I've planted are growing and developing. It's very satisfying for me, and each success in either domain only further fuels my passion. I simply grow things, all sorts of things.

Maybe instead of referring to myself as a crypto asset-leverager and investor, I'll just call myself a crypto gardener, as they're really the same thing anyway. My Hive garden is growing really quite well indeed, and I'm very grateful for the deep, rich, and fertile Hive soils that make it possible.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, a little after 2PM, diving first into some photography for my posts. The sun was only half cooperating, so I had to split up my photography sessions a bit. Interspersed with photography, I chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and collected and sifted another 15 gallons of soil to use in my nursery. When I had all that, and photography, done, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get an early start on my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Between needed to take an hour and a half to attend the Monday community logistics meeting, and Ecency (all versions, V3, alpha, release, and the Android app) not working again for an extended time, I wasn't able to get through all my notifications before I had to stop around 11:30PM, to do some asset management, and then go to bed around 12:15AM. I woke up just before 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 8AM 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 11:15AM, 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 scheduled at 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
