I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1109 - A New Focus on Liquidity Pools with Off-Chain Assets - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 10, 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 last two posts I've been discussion how I'm about to do another fiat-to-crypto swap via a jungle neighbor, this time for $600, which I'll receive as an equivalent amount of SWAP.LTC in my wallet, a week after initiating it. As soon as I receive that SWAP.LTC, I'll swap half of it into SWAP.HIVE, to then add it, and the rest of the SWAP.LTC, into the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC pool, to earn pool fees until I need it for my next big powerup.

This got me thinking, especially with the crypto market on the edge of a momentous explosion in growth, that it would be a very good idea to leverage as many off-chain assets, like BTC, BCH, DOGE, ETH, LTC, and SOL, against as many different Hive assets, like SWAP.HIVE, SWAP.HBD, and BEE, via their shared liquidity pools, as I'm able. Leveraging significant off-chain assets against the above-mentioned and always-useful Hive assets, is a win-win situation, because even if one side of the pair has a notable drop in value, it means that I'll still have very useful and valuable assets with which to work regardless.

With this in mind, after this next upcoming fiat investment to boost my HP, my next several fiat investments will be focused on getting a good chunk of assets into these off-chain-leveraging pools as my resources allow, which I think will really pay off in the long-term. It will almost certainly allow me to grow my resource base, and my investment liquidity, quite substantially.

These off-chain-leveraging pools will be long-term investments, like savings accounts, where the assets in them keep increasing over time via pool fees. Since I'm all-in on Hive for the long haul, I'm playing the long game.

Diesel/Liquidity pools have already proven to me that they are solid and profitable investments, and as such I intend to go very deep into them indeed. Once I have this fully implemented, where I have several thousand dollars in assets growing in these various off-chain-linked pools, it might indeed make it possible for me to do more regular large HIVE powerups. That would be sweet indeed.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little after 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With that done, I buzzed my head and face (I look too much like a wild jungle man otherwise), took a shower, did a little work in my nursery, then I topped it off with a short walk down our jungle road. Once I returned to GaiaYoga, I stopped by the Landing to collect some leftover food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hand(s) I 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 by a little after 9:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up just before 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 167th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 10,500 HP Surpassed, and a Plan for 15,000 HP by Year End Engaged, then beginning immediately on this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so a marvelous 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 some photography for my posts, collecting coconut meat and coconut water from a bunch of younger coconuts to prepare medium to ferment another round of kefir (I didn't get to it yesterday), and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
