I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1222 - New Daily Stats, and My January HPUD Powerup Will Be My Largest One Yet! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, December 1, 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 7 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Well, my friends, as you can see above, I've decided to add some useful stats to the top of these daily posts, and as much for myself as for all of you. Along with the numerical statistics, I've also included ⬇️⬆️ icons to show whether the numbers are trending downward or upward. I'm considering adding a few more, like the fiat-dollar prices for gold, silver, and perhaps LTC/Litecoin, though the main thing is that the data needs to be quick and easy to collect on a daily basis. I hope y'all like this new addition to my daily posts, and if there's a stat that you'd like to see added to the list, let me know.

The Hive Debt has sadly begun to rise yet again, crossing the threshold of 17% once more, which is very much not good. Given this exceedingly problematic present situation, I've been running some numbers to see how much HIVE I'd receive if I withdrew all my HBD from Savings and converted it to HIVE, based on the present prices. Since I'll be waiting to claim my last round of Savings interest, and to achieve my 2025 Hive Goal of 600 HBD in Savings, I've calculated the numbers based on that amount of HBD, and with the present prices, I'd receive around 5,660.4 HIVE. That sounds like a glorious chunk to power up on the January HPUD, I've got to say, and it would be my largest HPUD mega-powerup to date, and by more than double!

Another 5,660 HP would definitely come in handy for upvotes and curation, as well as for delegations and HP leases, plus it would also strongly increase the growth rate of my Hive Power. That all sounds great to me, and it all comes from doing my part to remove some of the Hive Debt (that's exactly what HBD is, a HIVE IUO, AKA, Hive debt). My investments into layer-2 and diesel/liquidity pools will certainly get a very nice boost!

Our new @aliveandmmb witness node rose up one notch in the witness ranking since yesterday, to the #114 spot among active witnesses, now with 200.2K HP worth of votes. That's pretty nifty, and we're only 14 places away from @borniet's @botlord, which presently occupies the #100 spot.

I've continued with my investments/contributions/donations of 1 SWAP.HIVE daily, to building and growing the 'We Are Alive Tribe' financial infrastructure, with 14 SWAP.HIVE having been sent and invested so far. With 1 SWAP.HIVE per day, the gains are not large, but I'm making good headway indeed. I also mentioned that I've added @aliveandthriving as a 5% beneficiary on all my posts, and along with our main community account, @hive-155221, also automatically being set as a 1% beneficiary for all posts published in the We Are Alive Tribe community, it's giving me more assets to invest and leverage, thus allowing me to grow our accounts and income streams all the more quickly. I've done the same for our community account on Blurt as well, and with equally beneficial results. You'll also notice the lovely witness-vote links and banners in the footer of this post. I will do anything and everything feasible to support, build, and grow our beloved We Are Alive Tribe, and our badass ALIVE token, for all of us; for me, and for you!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With a nice batch of of shots taken, I got an o-o bar and a shovel, and I dug three more banana-planting holes down at the end of the second driveway. Once I had that completed, I took a shower, then I headed to the Flow House to help Chelsea to access some photos on her Mac-formatted hard drive using the Arch Linux installation presently in my laptop. After she got the images that she needed, I stopped by the Landing to heat up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by just after 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just before 11:15PM. I woke up about 7AM, 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 after 1:30PM, so it's quite a good time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, on collecting coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts to begin another round of kefir fermentation, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciated 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
