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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

With the large number of projects and tokens failing and coming to an end within the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem over the past few years, and most especially in the last few months, choosing viable options for investing has become increasingly more challenging. On my own account, even with the loss of many significant sources of income, I've still done pretty well, in part because I diversify widely, and because I keep up to date with the projects and assets in which I invest, so I'm able to make important financial decisions usually quite quickly. This is not quite the current case with the We Are Alive Tribe, unfortunately, as we depended on two important income streams that both ended within a period of about a month, and I'm still working to pick up the pieces, to find a viable way to rebuild our community economy, and to restore its long-term sustainability.

I've mentioned that the present very-challenging conditions of Hive are weeding out all but the most committed and dedicated people and their projects, which makes it all the more important for those that remain to work together and to support each other. That's exactly what I'm endeavoring to do, on my own account, and with the We Are Alive Tribe; to invest in, to collaborate with, and to support the people and projects that are still sincerely giving their all.

My current layer-2 investment and asset-leveraging focuses (other than 'We Are Alive Tribe' assets) are (in no particular order) BEE, WORKERBEE, BBH, BBHO, BBHM, HSBIDAO, LBI, UNICOIN, PIXYDUST, CENT, PIMP, HASHSCORE, TRADE, TRIBE, SHORT, TOOFUCKEH, PEPENTROPY, ATX, LIMITLESS, ATF, DBOND, DAB, RUG, EDS, EDSMM, DUO, PIZZA, SLOTHBUZZ, PEPE, and ECOBANK, to name those that come to mind at the moment. I'm sure that there are a few that I forgot to mention, but this list is the majority of them.

LBI and HSBIDAO are receiving special attention, as they are both run by very solid projects, and they both also offer regular dividend payouts, whether they are sitting in our wallets, and/or they're being leveraged in their various pools, especially their shared HSBIDAO:LBI pool. The We Are Alive Tribe's nascent partnership with the LBI project will soon see the creation of a new shared pool, ALIVE:LBI, with the intention of creating greater use and value for both tokens.

I'm determined to bring our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy back to a solidly sustainable place before the end of year, and it's going to take some good planning, ingenuity, and consistent work over time to fully realize, but that is indeed my primary community goal now. We'll see how the assessment of our augmented BEE income goes this week, and based on the results, the decision on how best to use our substantial BEE stake moving forward will be made.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 3PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, and then to a few small jungle-community tasks, including finally diving in to weed my nursery behind the Landing, chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and harvesting a ripe rack of bananas along the Halai Hapai trail. With those completed, I heated myself up some food in Wabisabi that I had in the fridge, and after collecting my leftover superfood fire coffee from the same spot, I headed back to the Flow House, to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress update, and then to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by around 10:30PM, and working with Hermes a bit more, I went to bed by a bit after 12:30AM. I woke up by just after 8AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to work with Hermes some more, and to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, 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 the arrival of a friend (and someone with whom I work in sessions), to work on creating her own personal neural-resonance subliminal-affirmation audio tracks using Audacity. 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
