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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

For the last 6 months I've been exploring, researching, and running lots of numbers, in my search for a way to retore the We Are Alive Tribe's weekly HIVE income, so that we will be able to continue distributing HIVE in our daily ALIVE dividends, and to our HP delegators, before our chunk of HIVE on our main community account, @hive-155221, runs out, sadly without much success. There just don't seem to be any more viable ways to accumulate sufficient HIVE on a weekly basis, given our available resources, either by delegating HP, or acquiring income tokens, at least not directly. That's the sad and sorry state of the current Hive economy, though I've continued my search.

The possibility that comes closest to being able to cover our community expenses is HSBIDAO. It's a self-growing token that's run by a solid project, and which has a strong and consistent buy wall on the market. Each HSBIDAO is worth just under 0.5 HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, and if I'm able to build a large enough holding so that we're gaining about 14.5-15 HSBIDAO per day, then it might indeed be feasible, since we need to gain about 7.2 HIVE daily to cover the amount of HIVE that we send out on a daily and weekly basis. The primary issue is that we need a lot of HSBIDAO, which would cost quite a lot given our current available resources.

This morning I made the decision to delegate Hive Power from two community accounts, @aliveandthriving, and @youarealive, of 1,000 HP each, to @steembasicincome, to begin generating a daily HSBIDAO income. I really didn't want to have to resort to delegating HP, since our community accounts need it for curation, but given the circumstances, I felt that it was worth it, especially over the long term, especially considering that HBSIDAO has a better APR than HP curation, which is quite notable.

I'll be adding as much of the HSBIDAO that I accumulate on @aliveandthriving into the various HSBIDAO pools, since it continues to earn the daily curation dividends there too, at least for now. I'll also be sending the HSBIDAO that accumulates on @youarealive to @aliveandthriving, to focus our holding, which would increase the speed that it grows.

At some point I'm going to have to let sufficient HSBIDAO in @aliveandthriving's wallet accumulate, so not adding all of it into the pools, to eventually be able to swap it for HIVE weekly for the ALIVE dividends and our HP delegators. This is all a gamble, as I don't know if I'll be able to accumulate enough in time, but honestly it's presently the best option that we have, so I pulled the trigger.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 2:45PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, after which I got a few jungle-community tasks done, including harvesting a rack of bananas, digging two more planting holes along the main trail, and helping Ano to unload his truck after his weekly coconut harvesting trip, and reloading it for the Sunday market. Once I had all those completed, I made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, 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 around 9:30PM, and after scanning my X feed for a while, I went to bed by just before 11:45PM. I woke up around 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to Wabisabi to prepare my superfood fire coffee, to make myself some breakfast, and to collect another jar of my medicinal tea from the fridge, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:15PM, so it's quite a good time to wrap up this post, 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 some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
