I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1271 - Another Round of Investments into the We Are Alive Tribe, and a Plan Moving Forward - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, January 19, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This morning Ben contributed/donated another 200 SWAP.HIVE to building and growing our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy and financial infrastructure, 100 SWAP.HIVE for general community investments, and 100 SWAP.HIVE to continue bootstrapping asset genration and growth on the new vault account, which will back HEARTBEAT, and fund dividend payouts of the indexed tokens for token holders. I used the first 100 SWAP.HIVE to buy another good chunk of DAB off the market on @aliveandthriving, and along with my own daily contribution/donation of 1 SWAP.HIVE to the cause, I was able to boost our DAB holding to over 304, so by more than 100 DAB. This should increase our daily HIVE payout from liquid DAB by at least +0.1 HIVE. It's not a huge leap, but our daily HIVE income from this source continues its steady climb.

The 100 SWAP.HIVE sent to the vault account was used to buy a good chunk of HSBIDAO, over 100, and HELIOS, a bit over 15, since both of these tokens have a stable or rising market price, and they're also both self-growing assets, so just holding sufficient quantities of them will mean a constant income of more. I used the leftover 24 SWAP.HIVE to add to the SWAP.HIVE:ATF pool, to complement the daily token income from the ATX:SWAP.HIVE, the DVS:DHEDGE, and the CCC:PHOTO pools. There are still several more pools that I want to bring online as soon as I can, and with solid liquidity positions, including the rest of the CCC pools, most of the CENT pools, the rest of the ATX pools, AEGIS:SWAP.HIVE, HASHCORE:SWAP.HIVE, among others, as with sufficient liquidity, these pools would provide a daily income in a wide variety of useful and valuable tokens.

There are various layer-2 community tokens on which I'll be focusing as well, like the above-mentioned HSBIDAO and HELIOS, along with assets such as DAB, DBOND, RUG, LBI, EDSI, EDSMM, STI, DUO, PIMP, CENT, BBH, BBHM, BBHO, LEO, SURGE, LSTR, UNICOIN, GLITTER, SLOTHBUZZ, TOOFUCKEH, among many others. Building and growing a solid resource base, and ample and diverse income streams, will take time, and it must be done in stages, with some assets and income streams laying the foundation for the next ones. When everything is fully up and running, some of the above-mentioned tokens will grow on their own, while others will still need to be purchased off the market.

In terms of liquidity pools, I'm shooting to get as close to the top of the chosen pools as possible, to maximize our daily token income on this vault account. I'm working on that for @aliveandthriving and my own account as well, but I've got to be even more focused, selective, efficient, and effective with my choices for the vault account, since we need large constantly-regenerating quantities of a whole host of useful and valuable assets.

On the gold-and-silver-backing side of things, there are some significant points that are useful to share. One is that although Ben will be purchasing gold and silver with his own funds, it will be done through, and held and autited by, a trusted and reputable third-party service, possibly via UPMA (United Precious Metals Association), and it will be set up so that our tokens will be able to be redeemable for physical gold and silver, sent directly to your address, wherever you are in the world. That is what's in the works, my friends, and it's going to completely change the token game on Hive.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little before 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to a few small tasks, one of which was chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and tidying up the area a bit. When I had that completed, I took a quickly asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I went banana hunting across the property, in search of harvestable bananas (none were found). After my banana hunt, I transplanted several Cuban cilantro (Eryngium foetidum) from the fenced garden, to the other side of the property, along my Flow-House trail, to keep better track of them, and to propagate them. Once I had that done, I cleaned up, made myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. As has been the case all week, I had quite a lot of notifications last night, though thankfully I was able to get through them all by a bit after 11:15PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just before 11:45PM. I woke up a bit after 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to powerup my BBHO, and write and publish my BPUD post about it, then to begin on this post. It's now just before 1PM, so it's a fantabulous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend 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 more photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
