I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1079 - Anyone Else Feeling That Hive Is about to Explode? - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, July 11, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I don't know about you, but lately I've been getting the vibe that the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is poised to explode in the not-too-distant future. I'm not saying that because the fiat price of HIVE is rising nicely again, but rather because of the convergence of multiple very significant developments, all of which I've discussed in these posts at different times. Since I first arrived on the Blockchain almost 4 years ago, I knew that Hive would indeed explode at some point, and I wanted to build and grow my assets and income here as much as I could before it did. I'm getting the feeling that this point of massive expansion is approaching quite quickly now, and I'll tell you why.

Firstly, more and more people around the world are exploring and getting involved in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, both as a way to invest, and to escape and circumvent the system of governmental fiat slave money. The crypto market is growing unsurprisingly rapidly year after year, it's only accelerating, and at some point it will likely subplant the entire fiat economy. People are going into crypto hard, along with many world governements beginning to implement their own strategic crypto reserves, so the crypto market itself seems to be on the edge of unprecedented growth.

Secondly, VSC (Virtual Smart Chain), which just recently launched its mainnet, and which is under heavy development now, promises to completely revolutionize how cross-blockchain transfers, swaps, asset leveraging, and investing, are done. The significance of VSC to the Hive Ecosystem, and to the whole crypto world, cannot be over stated, and it is pretty much guaranteed to draw a whole lot more people to Hive, exactly because of how easy, quick, effective, and efficient that VSC is being designed to be for managing crypto assets, regardless of the blockchain or wallet.

Thirdly, focused grassroots efforts by passionate Hivers around the world with the SpendHBD/Distriator initiatives are really beginning to gain traction with businesses and communities in an increasing number of countries, as this decentralized, trustless, self-custodial Hive financial system and economy are being built in parallel, and outside, the present fiat system. Even beyond SpendHBD/Distriator, Hivers can already use their Hive assets to pay for real world goods and services anywhere that accepts BTC, via the V4V app.

Fourthly, and lastly, through @hive-echo and @coldbeetrootsoup's promotional efforts on web2 social media platforms and TheDappList, Hive is gaining an ever-larger audience, which is also drawing increasing numbers of people to our Blockchain, excited by its promise and potential. The convergence of these notable initiatives and developments signals to me that something big is indeed coming for our beloved Blockchain quite soon. In the meantime, I'll just keep building, growing, and leveraging my assets and income the best I can, every day.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, a bit on the late side, around 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, before going to salvage more plants from my old, now-derelict nursery, transport them across the property in a wheelbarrow to my new nursery behind the Landing, and continue working in there for a while, up-potting and propagating various important plants, and doing a little weeding. With that done for the day, I took a shower, and another round of photos, before making myself some food in the Landing (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, pepperjack cheese, and mixed mustards), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, heading back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I paused that for a time to go meet up with Chelsea, to help her to troubleshoot and fix her internet-connection issue, and to share some very nice conversation. Her internet was restored quite quickly, and I stayed at her place quite a bit longer than I expected, because our conversation was so enjoyable. Once I left her place, I returned to the Flow House to get back to Hive, and even though I started on my notifications later than usual, I was still able to get through them all by a little after 10:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed around 11:30PM. I woke up just after 7:15AM, not having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so a lovely time to wrap this up, 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 then community/land work. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
