I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1118 - BPUD Today, Another BLURT Investment into the Pools, and New Delegation for LSTR - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, August 19, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy August BPUD! I just did my largest BBHO powerup to date, of just over 1,087 BBHO, which took me notably past the milestone of 11,000 BBHO staked, which is pretty sweet. What's even cooler is that this liquid BBHO came entirely from passive accumulation over the past month, and from winning in @benthomaswwd's regular @heartbeatonhive contests. Of course, once I did my powerup, I wrote and published a post about it, August BPUD - BBHO Powerup Day - 1,087.025 BBHO Powered Up!.

I'm loving how quickly both my liquid and staked BBHO is growing, and that it's doing so with no further manual investments. I'm also really digging how it's allowing me to increase my BRO holding (I'm still watching the BRO-LGN prices) and my DUO stake each week, which directly helps increase my daily and weekly HIVE income.

I finally accumulated enough liquid BLURT on Blurt to make another investment into the SWAP.BLURT pools on Hive, so yesterday I sent 1,100 BLURT to Hive Engine, and after the transfer fee, I received 1,091.75 SWAP.BLURT in my wallet, of which I swapped half for SWAP.BTC, and then I added it all into the SWAP.BLURT:SWAP.BTC pool, almost doubling my liquidity in that pool. All the SWAP.BLURT pools earn excellent pool fees, and one where I can grow SWAP.BTC makes it even better.

My republished Hive posts on Blurt (with the original Hive source link) earn me a good amount of both liquid BLURT and Blurt Power, so they are allowing me to both continue to grow on Blurt, and to periodically send BLURT to Hive to invest more in the SWAP.BLURT pools, which also benefit me on Blurt, so a very nice synergy here indeed. I'm grateful that I finally chose to create an account on Blurt, and to remain active there, as it's been very mutually beneficial for both Hive and Blurt, and for me as well on both chains.

With the rebirth and rise of LEO, and the creation of two new powerhouse tokens LSTR and SURGE, I've begun to adjust some of my investments a bit, to allow me to focus some resources on those three in-demand InLeo tokens. I recalled my delegation of 231.25 LEO from @meowcurator (which pays out LEO daily) last week, and it will be fully recalled in just a few hours, and as soon as it is, I'll redelegate it to @lstr.voter, to begin receiving daily payouts in LSTR. All the LEO that I receive now is being staked, where before it was all being fed into various diesel/liquidity pools. I also plan to allocate some resources into acquiring some SURGE. Hive offers innumerable opportunities to invest, and I certainly cover my investment bases pretty well across the board I'd say, with me constantly exploring, expanding, and synergizing!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little after before 1:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. When I had a nice batch of shots taken, I strained and blended kefir in the Landing, and then after a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, I went to collect a good amount of coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts, to prepare a new round of kefir to ferment. Once I had that done, I returned to the upper coco bar to chop and dump bad/used coconuts, and to tidy up the area a bit. With that done, I collected some leftover food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, from the the Landing 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 bit after 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11:45M. I woke up just after 6AM, having slept fairly 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 August BPUD post, and then to begin writing this post. It's now just before 11AM, so a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few 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 incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
