I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1322 - Generating and Sustaining Value in a Declining Financial Framework - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, March 11, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've got to say that it's pretty sad looking at how much most of the assets in my wallet, both layer 1 and layer 2, and those that I have in diesel/liquidity pools, have lost value in relation to the fiat-dollar over the past year. Tokens may still have a great price in HIVE/SWAP.HIVE terms, but because the value of HIVE and SWAP.HIVE, via HBD, which is pegged to the value of a constantly-declining fiat currency, are also tied to that fiat-dollar value, all assets measured in HIVE/SWAP.HIVE/HBD/SWAP.HBD terms are also losing value over time. On top that, HIVE continues to lose value as well due to the extremely inappropriate use of DHF funds, and the massive selloffs of HIVE on exchanges. Our beloved Blockchain Ecosystem is not in a good place at all.

Successfully generating, sustaining, and growing the value of our tokens, ALIVE and HEARTBEAT (and those to come), and building and growing and thriving 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy and financial framework, in the midst of Hive's greater declining economy, is quite a formidable endeavor indeed. It's very likely that the fiat-dollar price of HIVE will continue to fall, and that HBD will lose its peg to the fiat-dollar, within the next few months, if the ongoing trend does not change trajectory.

Layer-2 tokens tied and backed by RWAs (Real-World Assets), like gold, silver, land, or even stocks, and to off-chain crypto assets like BTC, BCH, LTC, among others, are the ones that currently offer the best long-term stability and probable growth of the value of our investments, as well as the most effective investment leverage. There aren't all that many tokens of which I'm aware on Hive Engine that meet these criteria, SWAP.BTC, SWAP.BCH, SWAP.LTC (among a few others), TGLD, TNVDA, TTSLA, ECOBANK, and soon, Ben's HEARTBEATS and HEARTBEATG. That's a pretty modest list.

Any tokens that derive their value from the fiat-dollar price of HIVE or HBD are going to have a very challenging time I'd say, unless the greater Hive economy takes a strong turn for the better soon. That's why it's very important for communities and projects to begin implementing multi-asset backing, including RWAs, for their tokens as soon as possible, to maintain their viability over time. That's exactly what we're working to do with the We Are Alive Tribe's assets, and as quickly as we're able.

This is also why it's essential to exercise great care and discernment when it comes to choosing token pairs for our future diesel/liquidity pools, with as many tied to, and backed by, RWAs and solid off-chain crypto assets, as possible. We will of course create new pools paired with Hive-based assets as well, but we need to be a bit more picky in that regard.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 2:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that completed, I went to Ano's nursery, to work together with him to divide and pot up a particularly challenging bamboo, that had smashed out its pot, and rooted in the ground. The whole process took us a little over 2 hours, with one quick asset-management break in the middle. When we finally had that done, I took a shower, turned on the generator (to give our batteries a cloudy-day boost), made myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard) in the new kitchen, 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 just before 10PM, and after some asset management, and perusing Qortal and X for a bit, I went to bed by around 11:30PM. I was awakened around 3:30AM, to assist someone here who had been having horrible headaches, which is a symptom of having contracted rat-lung worm, by giving him some Albendazole, the dewormer that is usually used to treat that malady. I'll help him prepare a medicinal tea later today, to assist as well. Once he left, I stayed up for about half an hour more, before making another partially-success attempt at sleep. I woke up again quite late, by around 8AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, doing some 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 2PM, so it's a really good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my other few 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 (hopefully not in the rain, as it's been raining all day do far), and then on jungle-communinty/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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
