12 hours ago

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My 656.080 HBD finished unstaking this morning, so now it's sitting in my wallet (not earning interest), and my market watch, to nail the best price, is now fully engaged, with me checking the internal HIVE:HBD market several times per day. At the moment my HBD would give me a fair bit over 13,500 HIVE, but I know that I can do a bit better than that, so I'm watching and waiting.

This process, waiting and watching market prices for the best returns, is my least favorite part of asset management, and leveraging and growing assets. It can be rather stressful when the prices aren't going in the desired directions, which is why I far prefer to get it done and go move through this step as quickly as I can. That's not always feasible, however.

I still have 11 days to go before powering my HIVE up on the August HPUD, so I certainly have a good amount of time to watch the market. There have been two times so far where I've seen the fiat-dollar price of HBD notably exceed $1, in a range of 1.1-1.2, the last instance right before my HBD unstaked (talk about timing, seriously). Ideally, I'm waiting for another price spike like that for HBD, with corresponding drop in HIVE price. May it be quick!

Although I really don't like my assets sitting around, and not being invested, leveraged, or grown, I've learned not to worry about it so much anymore, since prices are always going up and down, which dramatically affects profit ratios in multiple ways. A little patience may net me a good bit more HIVE than if I were to swap it now.

It's BPUD today, and the day that I try to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, as well, so including this post, I have 3 posts to publish within the same 24-hour period. I powered up a nice chunk of BBHO, and wrote my short post about it, just before beginning this post. I'll shoot for writing and publishing my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update either tonight or tomorrow morning. Eleven days to go until my largest HIVE power up to date, and also my largest HP delegation. May the prices go in my favor!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my numerous Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, earlier than usual, by around 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a nice batch of shots taken, I did a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, after which I went to assist Braja with a small task at her place. Since it was Sunday, and I didn't have motivation to work, I went to do some sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a little while instead. After getting my fill of sunshine, I went to Wabisabi to heat myself up some food (twice, actually), and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just after 10PM, and after scanning my X feed for a while, I went to bed by just after 11:30PM. I woke up just after 8:15AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, returning to the Flow House to prepare this post, and my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update to write later, powering up my BBHO and writing and publishing a post about it, then beginning on this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so it's a very 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 some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update as soon as I'm able to do it, and the next version of these posts tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
