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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm happy to report that I just completed another round of investing into building and growing the 'We Are Alive' decentralized community economy and infrastructure, thanks to the 200 SWAP.HIVE that Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) contributed this morning, with 100 SWAP.HIVE going to general community investements on @aliveandthriving, and the other 100 SWAP.HIVE going to my asset-leveraging endeavors on @heartbeatvault01. I split the SWAP.HIVE on both accounts between a few higher-impact investments that boosted our returns, both in layer 1 and layer 2, quite nicely. We still have a long way to go, but these regular investments, by both Ben and myself, are really helping to accelerate the process notably.

On @aliveandthriving, I put 25 SWAP.HIVE worth of liquidity into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, to further boost our daily SWAP.HIVE income, and the other 25 SWAP.HIVE was split between buying more DAB and DBOND off the market, to directly and indirectly increase our daily HIVE income. On @heartbeatvault01, I put 25 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool also, as well as 10 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity into the DVS:DHEDGE pool, 10 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity into some a few more CENT pools, 10 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity into all 4 CCC pools, and 2.5 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity split between the SWAP.HIVE:TRADE and the SWAP.HIVE:TRIBE pools, to get an initial start in those two excellent pools. This notably increased our daily income in a whole host of useful and valuable tokens, many of which I'll be able to use to seed liquidity in new pools. It also made my daily asset-leveraging-and-growing endeavors on this account go quite a bit more easily and quickly.

Investing larger amounts like this is both challenging and fun, since I need to do my best to make choices that generate the greatest leverage, which fill the greatest need, and in the most frugal way possible. With smaller investments at a time, the choices are usually more clear cut and defined, so the process is a lot quicker. Investing larger sums requires more strategy.

Part of the strategy with investing in diesel/liquidity pools is choosing pools that provide the highest number of different useful and valuable tokens in the daily liquidity rewards, to then use to seed liquidity in assorted other useful pools. Some pools, like DVS:DHEDGE, ATX:SWAP.HIVE, AEGIS:SWAP.HIVE, ARCHON:SWAP.HIVE, CCC:MUSIC, CCC:PHOTO, CCC:SCHOLAR, CCC:WIT, SWAP.HIVE:ATF, HASHSCORE:SWAP.HIVE, SWAP.HIVE:PIMP, our own ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE, among a few others, provide many tokens each which can be used to seed liquidity in a whole other host of desirable pools, so they are all quite good investments indeed. These pools could be thought of as master pools, that provide the keys to open the doors to many other excellent pools.

Diesel/Liquidity pools are still one of the best ways to diversify investments across many layer-2 tokens, and to leverage and grow assets consistently and reliably over time. That's why they are such a heavy focus of my strategic-synergistic asset leveraging and investing, both on my account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, because their cost-benefit-risk ratio is is a lot better than most investments in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem. Solid pools and tokens are primary components of our community financial infrastructure that Ben and I are in the process of piecing together, and with our ongoing investments, things are moving much more quickly now, which makes it even more fun for me.

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by around 1PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, it went beautifully well, and we wrapped it up by about 7PM, after which we both went down to Tutu's to attend the community meal. I stayed for about half an hour, then I bid my 'good night', made my way back to the other side of the property, to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge in the Landing, and then to head back to the Flow House to finally begin my evening Hive tasks, a bit later than usual. Even though I started late, I was still able to get through everything by around 10:45PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed about 12AM. I woke up just after 8AM, having slept reasonably 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 before 1:30PM, so it's quite a good 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 some photography for my posts, and then on 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! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
