I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1407 - Hive Keychain and Hive Swap Both Allow Swapping Any Layer-1 or Layer-2 Asset for Any Other - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, May 26, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

One excellent asset-management implementation that I've come very much to appreciate and utilize is the ability to swap any Hive layer-1 or layer-2 asset for any other, regardless of whether the two have a shared liquidity pool or not. So far there are two ways to do this. This exceedingly useful feature can be accessed and executed via the 'Swap' tab in Hive Keychain, and also now via the 'Swap' tab on Hive Swap, which is a new, and very good, Hive asset-management frontend.

Given that most layer-2 tokens on Hive Engine don't have liquidity pools, this kind of anything-for-anything, multi-hop swapping is extraordinarily helpful, and it opens up a great many more asset-management and asset-leveraging possibilities. If any layer-2 tokens can be swapped for HIVE, then this might be a means to help generate sufficient HIVE for the We Are Alive Tribe's daily and weekly operations, like paying our HP delegators, and sending out HIVE in our daily ALIVE dividends.

Between our notably-increased BEE income, from the recall of our substantial delegation of BEE from @bee.voter, and this ability to swap any layer-1 or layer-2 asset for any other, offered by Hive Keychain and Hive Swap, there may just be a light at the end of the tunnel for our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy. These possibilities also don't tie our community economy to income streams from any particular project, which is very good indeed.

I'm very interested to see what our BEE income at the end of the week will be, and whether delegating a portion of our BEE to @centtoken would provide more. Growing our liquid and staked BEE as quickly as possible is the goal. We also have a fair bit of BEE growing in various diesel/liquidity pools as well, which can be removed to utilize as needed.

Originally, Erik (@flaxz) was able to grow our sizable BEE holding of 20.4k staked BEE on @aliveandsocial by delegating all BEE on all 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts to that account, thus effectively focusing BEE votes and income in a very efficient manner. I'm considering reimplementing that dynamic soon, to see if I can take our BEE holding to new heights.

Yesterday, after finishing up with my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and taking a round of photos for my posts by a little after 2PM, I met up with a friend (to whom I give regular sessions) to begin the process of crafting her own personal neural-resonance subliminal-affirmation audio tracks. That did not go as planned, however, and for an incredibly sad and disturbing reason; two well-known and loved older men in the local Lower Puna community, and even quite close to GaiaYoga, we're murdered the night before, apparently by the same deranged individual. The shock of that hit everyone hard indeed. I had the unhappy news of sharing this with Ano, who'd known one of the deceased fellows for most of his 25+ years on the Island. Given the circumstances, I didn't do any work on the property. After my friend left, I went to Wabisabi to heat up some food that I had in the fridge, to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee, and with those in hands I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 10PM, and after some asset management, and working with Hermes, I went to bed, way too late again, by just after 1AM (yeah, ouch). I woke up just after 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's an exceedingly 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 jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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!
