I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1056 - Why Is the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem Such an Excellent Investment Framework? - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, June 18, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Why is the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem such an excellent investment framework?

I talk often in these daily posts about my assorted investing and asset-leveraging adventures here on Hive, and about how the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is the best framework for investing, leveraging, and growing assets that I've ever found to date, but why is this the case? Well, to put it simply, Hive possesses all the essential components of a fast, efficient, effective, elegant, and secure community-driven financial system that is outside the control of banks, corporations, or gonvernments, with innumerable investment opportunities within the Ecosystem. That's the skinny of it, but perhaps I should flesh that out with a bit more detail, especially for those that may not yet be aware.

Being outside of the control of banks, corporations, and governments is huge, and also absolutely necessary for a financial system that is actually good for the people that use it, and not a de facto method of enslavement that all fiat currencies represent. Hive does this in two very important ways. Firstly, every single aspect of Hive is built and run by the community, with zero involvement of the above-mentioned controlling entities, and secondly, Hive is based on self-custodial wallets and a trustless key-smart contract framework, which makes the seizing and freezing of assets impossible, as long as the private keys are not compromised. That's the glorious base upon which many incredible things have been, and will be built.

So with this solid base of a self-custodial, trustless, community-driven framework, the third component of what makes Hive such an extraordinary investment focus comes into play, and that is the astoundingly diverse and numerous different ways that the community has created to invest, leverage, and grow assets, and to generate income. Seriously, there are a lot! I've been exploring them since I first arrived on the Blockchain, and I still haven't even come close to trying them all out yet. That's simply glorious.

A fourth significant component is the fact that it is quite easy to exchange Hive assets for other off-chain crypto assets, as well as for fiat currencies, and visa-versa. At the moment this is accomplished mostly with the SWAP representatives of various off-chain crypto assets on Hive Engine, but soon, with VSC coming online, the ease with which cross-blockchain transfers will be able to be carried out will go to an entirely new level, as will the available investment opportunities that it will make possible.

Do you see why I'm such a passionate, all-in, asset-leveraging investor on Hive? Across all investment domains my assets are growing every day, and faster all the time, and I intend to dive as deeply into each one as possible, as my multi-stream income and liquidity to invest also continues to increase. That's pretty exciting, and I must say that things keep getting more and more interesting all the time.

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started a little late, and we wrapped it up by a little after 5PM. After the session, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, returning to the Flow House immediately afterward, to commence with my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 9:45PM, and after some asset management, preparing my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest to write the next morning, checking in on Blurt, and a long scan of my X feed, I went to bed just after 12:30AM. I woke up a bit before 7:30AM, having slept reasonably well, 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 and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 378 - Amaranth Shadows, and finally to begin writing this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so a lovely 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, straining and blending kefir, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my BPUD post later this evening, and the next expression of these posts 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
