I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1320 - A Comparison Between Our 3 'We Are Alive Tribe' Pools - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, March 9, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's been just over two days since I created and set up our new ALIVE:HEARTBEAT pool, and I've got to say that I'm quite impressed by its activity and growth so far. This pool is definitely getting off to a much faster start than our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool, with notably more initial liquidity having been added already. Today I thought that it might be interesting to do a comparison between all three of our pools, ALIVE:ALIVEM, ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE, and our newest, ALIVE:HEARTBEAT.

I'll begin with our oldest pool (created by Erik), ALIVE:ALIVEM. This pool has always been rather modest in swapping/trading volume, with both of our other pools far exceeding it in current activity. Liquidity grows in the other two pools more quickly, in other words. Presently, the ALIVE:ALIVEM pool has a total liquidity of 38,094.546 ALIVE/186.393 ALIVEM ($204-230.353 fiat-dollar value, based on BeeSwap and Tribaldex), with 31 liquidity providers, it's earned a total of 671.449 ALIVE/1.866 ALIVEM ($3.50861 in fiat-dollar value) for liquidity providers, and it has a total cumulative swap/trade volume of 533,565.711 ALIVE/1,591.435 ALIVEM ($2,830.321 in fiat-dollar value). I reactivated liquidity rewards for this pool just after activating them for the first time for our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool. This pool is not fast, but it keeps chugging along.

Our second-newest pool, ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE, which I only created on October 31 of last year, has a present total liquidity of 21,794.759 ALIVE/1,387.727 SWAP.HIVE ($162-176.59 in fiat-dollar value, based on BeeSwap and Tribaldex), it has 31 liquidity providers, it's earned a total of 282.379 ALIVE/15.002 SWAP.HIVE ($2.10298 in fiat-dollar value), and it has a total cumulative swap/trade volume of 224,016.805 ALIVE/12,035.987 SWAP.HIVE ($1,676.704 in fiat-dollar value). Although it got off to a slower start than our newest pool, it presently has the highest liquidity, with a very-high swap/trade volume.

Our newest pool, ALIVE:HEARTBEAT, currently has a total liquidity of 7,312.518 ALIVE/18,782.061 HEARTBEAT ($60-65.204 in fiat-dollar value,based on BeeSwap and Tribaldex), it has 12 liquidity providers, it's earned a total of 5.089 ALIVE/0.33 HEARTBEAT ($0.02171 in fiat-dollar value) for liquidity providers, and after a little over 2 days, it has a total cumulative swap/trade volume of 2,155.416 ALIVE/3,810.113 HEARTBEAT ($16.013 in fiat-dollar value), which is quite an excellent start. I don't know how the swap/trading volume compares between this pool and ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE yet, since it's so new, but from the looks of it, it may be at least at a similar level, and perhaps even beyond it a bit.

As I've mentioned, it's important to assess potential new pools to create based on the greatest possible need, use, durability through time, and the mutual benefits that it might provide. Our new pool certainly seems that it fit the bill in that regard, which is really good to see. I don't yet have clarity on what our next new pool should be, but you can bet that I have several possibilities buzzing around in my mind, that I'm continuing to consider, assess, and explore. Let me know your thoughts on the matter, as I'm very interested to hear.

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, after which I collected and dumped old/bad coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I tidied up the area a bit. With those completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, then I grabbed my machete to go do some more clearing work up along the front driveway. Upon finishing that up for the day, I took a shower, made myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard), 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. I got everything done by 9PM, and after some asset management, and perusing Qortal and X for a bit, I went to bed by a bit after 10:30PM. I woke up around 7:15AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a great 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 jungle-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!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

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!
