I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1119 - Date Set for My Next Fiat Investment into Hive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, August 20, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

A few days ago I mentioned that my upcoming fiat investment into Hive got delayed a bit, due to my jungle neighbor, with whom I swap fiat for crypto, not feeling well. While this was disheartening, this delay might indeed turn out to have been for the best, because since that time the crypto market took another dive, and if it remains in this state, I will get more LTC for my $600 of fiat cash. That would be a very good thing indeed.

My crypto-loving neighbor sent me a text yesterday evening expressing this very thing, and suggested that we meet in the late afternoon this Saturday, August 23rd, to get it done while the market is so low. I happily accepted his suggestion, so if all goes well, and according to plan, I should have my $600 worth of SWAP.LTC in my wallet by Saturday, August 30th.

With how low the market presently is, I may indeed end up with an amount of SWAP.LTC that is equivalent to over 3,000 HIVE, which would be quite excellent, especially considering that it will be growing in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC diesel/liquidity pool for about 3 months. I'm very curious how much I'll earn in the pool, and how much I'll have when I finally remove it, to prepare for my next mega-powerup.

A 3,000+ HP powerup would be extraordinary, and that's my goal. Who knows, I may even notably exceed my year-end goal of 15,000 Hive Power. My HP is growing rather quickly at the level that it is now, so I can't wait to see how it will be after my next mega-powerup near the end of the year. I'm guessing that after it, 20,000 HP would come quite quickly.

While my $600 in fiat-to-crypto assets are growing in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC pool, I'll continue to do my monthly HPUD powerups, and to write and publish 1-3 posts every day, and combined with the accelating growth from HIVE's 2.60-3.36% APR, I will very likely be around 12,000-12,500 Hive Power by the time that I remove my assets from the pool to use for my mega-powerup. Proper timing and sufficient leverage are how I intend to reach this giant end-of-year goal, and I believe that I will be successful.

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, and we wrapped it up just before 6PM, after which 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 headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just after 11:30PM. I woke up rather late, near 8AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my supperfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to begin this post. I had to pause for about an hour to go attend the Thursday community heartshare meeting, from which I left early to make my way back across the property to the Flow House, to continue with this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so a fantastic 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 some photography for my posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
