I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1356 - Investing and Leveraging Assets for the We Are Alive Tribe Just Got a Whole Lot Slower - Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, April 14, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my last two posts I've been mentioning how strongly the end of the PWR project, and with it the loss a primary source for daily SWAP.HIVE income from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, has affected my daily and weekly investments and asset management on my own account, and even more significantly for the We Are Alive Tribe. I can compensate on my own account by accepting more HP leases, though I have to do that over time, but for the We Are Alive Tribe accepting HP leases is not yet a viable option, since the little HP that our community accounts have is very much needed for curation.

Without any other comparable pool, or source for SWAP.HIVE in general, I don't presently have any easy or quick way to move forward with building and growing the 'We Are Alive Tribe' financial infrastructure, framework, and economy, which is exceedingly frustraring. Yes, I can do it incrementally over time, as I always do, but it will be quite a slow process indeed without outside investments, and since I'm also receiving much less SWAP.HIVE on my own account too, I can't contribute/donate any more until I'm able to bring my daily SWAP.HIVE income back to a comparable level.

The one-two punch of losing both BeeSwap, and the income from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, has made investing and asset leveraging within the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem substantually more difficult, way less efficient, and oh so much slower, especially for the We Are Alive. Yeah, I'm not happy about that at all.

As more and more Hive projects have come to an end, there have been fewer and fewer options to invest and leverage assets, and fewer income sources, so I've had to make due with increasingly less over time, and I've needed to compensate increasingly more, which is becoming notably more difficult. I'm very resourceful, but this is seriously getting ridiculous.

After the loss of BeeSwap, and now with the loss of income from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, I do asset management on my own account way less frequently now, only once per day in the evening, and for the We Are Alive Tribe it now has to be once per week, on Sundays, when I do my other numerous important community tasks. I'll still continue doing what I'm doing the best that I can, albeit notably more inefficiently and slowly.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to few small jungle-community tasks. After a quick break up at the Flow House, I went the other side of the property to discuss project ideas with Melekai for her area, and to and to soak up the sun and talk for a bit. Once we wrapped up our conversation, I traversed the property again, back to Wabisabi to make myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, hot sauce, and spicy brown 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 wasn't able to get through all my notifications before I had to stop around 11:30PM, to do some asset management, and then to go to bed by just after 12:30PM. I woke up around 8AM, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to Wabisabi to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
