I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1066 - I So Deeply Appreciate Hive's Seamless Integrated Functionality - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, June 28, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my intrepid blockchain explorations one thing that has been hit home to me strongly is the fact that Hive's infrastructure functions as a seamless integrated system, whereas this is not the case at all with many other blockchains and blockchain frameworks, where you often have to jump through several hoops to get and keep the various parts of the systems working correctly with each other. It makes me appreciate how Hive does things so much more by comparison with these other blockchain ecosystems. Hive has a winning combo in so many different areas, which it integrates into an easeful, elegant, and an exceedingly functional whole.

I'm just going to say that, although I am very techy and DIY, the more steps that there are involved in getting bootstrapped within a Blockchain ecosystem, the quicker I lose interest. I remember how quick, easy, and logical this process was for me on Hive when I first started here, and how everything just worked immediately, with no further effort or steps necessary. That honestly deeply impressed and blew me away.

So many other blockchain frameworks seem disjointed and fragmented to me, because their various parts don't automatically connect with each other out of the box, and require manual configuration. I guess Hive's spoiled me, because that nonsense is just annoying to me now.

Just the simple fact that we have decentralized, self-custodial wallets that are directly connected with our usernames, and that can automatically connect and interact with the plethora of Hive websites and frontends, is beyond brilliant. Our Hive accounts are more valuable than many yet realize, because they are the gateways to an extraordinary framework of social and financial abundance.

This is one of the many reasons that Hive is my home base of operations online, as nothing else can (yet) compare to the seamless integrated functionality of its infrastructure. I can do what I need and want to do in this decentralized Blockchain Ecosystem, (usually) without hassle, consistently over time, which to me is absolutely priceless.

Yesterday, Saturday, after wrapping up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. It started on time, and we finally finished up by about 6PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I returned immediately to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished everything by around 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed a little after 12AM. I woke up about 7:30PM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1PM, so a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, straining and blending kefir (my last batch fermented in raw whole cow milk), and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update tomorrow morning, and the next expression of these posts tomorrow afternoon! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
