I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1065 - Hive Is Still the Best Investment That I've Ever Made! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, June 27, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

After 3 years, 9 months, and 5 days (1,374 days in total) of diving in deep, and exploring every nook and cranny of this extraordinary Blockchain, I can honestly say that Hive is still the absolute best investment of time, effort, and assets, that I've ever made. That's not hyperbolic exaggeration, but rather my practical experiences of investing, leveraging and growing assets, and generating multiple income steams, in this exceptional community-driven, decentralized Blockchain framework.

I don't say this from lack of experience with other blockchains and frameworks, as I'm always exploring and experimenting far and wide, and yet Hive is still unmatched in the sheer number of diverse and different ways that exist here for us to use our assets to generate ever-greater growth. That in and of itself is amazing, but when you add in the fact that this incredible investment framework is decentralized, community-driven, and that our wallets are self-custodial, so our assets belong to us and cannot be seized or frozen (unless private keys are compromised), it becomes clear that Hive is truly something special, with world-changing potential.

To date, I've made 4 external investments into the Hive Ecosystem, 2 from off-chain crypto assets, and 2 from fiat cash, of around $3,000 in total, and I intend to invest much more over time, as my resources allow. The first one made it possible for me to do my mega-powerup to dolphin level the December before last, with the other three being invested into layer 2, into solid income tokens and diesel/liquidity pools, which strongly boosted my passive income streams, and therefore my investment liquidity.

If and when large sums of fiat money come into my possession, you can bet that a big chunk of it will be going into Hive. I don't need much, and I keep my living expenses pretty low, which allows me to invest into Hive more frequently with fiat assets. I also keep the majority of my total assets in Hive, with just enough kept in fiat cash for my daily expenses, and a little buffer, to stay ahead of things. I'm so grateful that this has been possible.

I don't plan to extract anything from my Hive investments until I am well past whale level (and in all investment domains), where what I extract would be but dust comparared to my income and interest that is being generated. I'm working to a build a financial empire, with consistent, dependable, reliable, sustainable, and inexhaustible income across all Hive investment domains. Yep, that's going to take time and patience, but I am absolutely determined and committed, and I know that I will achieve it in time. This is my focus every single day, and as my growth and income accelerate, I move ever-closer to the realization of this huge goal.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, around 2:30PM, putting my attention first on some photography for my posts. The weather wasn't cooperating very well, but I was still able to get a good batch of shots. After photography, I went to do some weeding in my nursery behind the Landing, and then I got my machete to do more clearing around my two young cashew trees along the second driveway, near the Flow House. When I had that done, I took a shower, stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I finally made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done quite early, a bit before 9:30PM, and after some asset management, some more research into an issue with Xorg on FreeBSD, getting my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest ready to write in the morning, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed nice and early, just after 10:30PM. I woke up around 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing about 7:30AM, and then returning to the Flow House, to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 225 - Raindrop Reflections, and then to begin on this post. It's now just after 12:30PM, so a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of these posts! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
