I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1084 - New HP Lease Accepted, and the Simple Beauty of Compounding Numbers - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, July 16, 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 HP lease, that I accepted a month ago, expired this morning, and I just accepted a new one, this time for a bit more delegate HP than I was hoping, 1,000 compared to the previous one which was 700, but still quite good in terms of daily SWAP.HIVE returns. I've been putting those daily SWAP.HIVE payments to very good use by boosting my investments in a large array of diesel/liquidity pools, both in those where I already have liquidity, and in several new, and quite promising pools. Liquidity pools are an excellent way to both grow my assets, and to support various projects and communities, as well as the whole Hive token ecosystem, which works great for me, since I'm all about Maximum Mutual Benefit for everyone.

While there are several very useful investments that I've made in various Hive domains, those that grow assets by compounding interest and exponential growth are the ones that are the most interesting to me, as the more that I have of any particular compounding asset, the faster that asset grows, so the rate of growth increases over time, as the quantity of the compounding asset increases. That's a beautiful thing. Yes, if starting with low investment capital, this compounding will go quite slowly in the beginning, but once it reaches a certain threshold, it will grow quite quickly indeed.

Hive Power, HBD in Savings, the curation rewards for many stakable tokens, and diesel/liquidity pools, all operate by this principle of compounding interest and exponential growth, and they are all excellent investment opportunities. Diesel/Liquidity Pools are usually the least-known and explored compounding-investment domain, which is one reason, aside from being fascinated and enthralled by them, that I mention them so often in my posts, because they can benefit my fellow Hivers notably, and the more liquidity that there is in as many pools as possible, the better for all of us and our Ecosystem.

In those times when I'm feeling down or discouraged around the social aspect of Hive (presently over the abusive-downvote issue that is negatively affecting so many now), or my own life for that matter, I find peace and inspiration in the simple, mathematical, unwavering compounding of numbers, as I actively grow my assets, and watch them grow on their own, without my further involvement. It's all passive income, and I'm working to grow it all as much, and as quickly, as possible, and all over the place.

For those of you that are presently being targeted by abusive downvotes (without communication, or a reason being given), and are having your posts zeroed out, I want you to know that there are many other ways in the Hive Ecosystem to generate consistent income, with a lot of it being passive, so you can indeed still grow your accounts, and your assets, regardless of losing income from published posts. I know for some of you, the income from your posts is an important way that you provide for yourself in your daily life, and I want you to know that there are still viable options.

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks around 12PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session did not go as planned again, and in a totally different way, but I just rolled and flowed with it. After the session, I headed to the Landing to make myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, amaranth leaves, sea salt, and olive oil), and then with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I returned to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by just before 10PM again, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11:30PM. I woke up quite late, around 8AM, having thankfully 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 after 12:30PM, so a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
