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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Although the process is still going more slowly than I'd like, I wanted to give a quick update today on my progress in rebuilding our HIVE income streams, which is an essential prerequisite before activating HIVE distribution in our ALIVE dividends once again. It's still wild to me how much better the HIVE income from our @bee.voter delegation was compared to anything else, which is exactly why it will take me time to rebuild it, but I'm working on it every day, and even it's still molasses slow to me, I'll keep going until (and after) I succeed in this monumental endeavor.

Our most quickly-growing HIVE income source is still our HP delegation to Bradley (@bradleyarrow), to whom I've been focusing all incoming liquid HIVE to powerup and delegate. We started with 22 HP delegated, with a daily income of 0.007 HIVE. As of today, we're at a bit past 117 HP delegated, with a daily income of 0.033 HIVE. The numbers are still small, but they are still increasing pretty quickly.

We currently have just over 700 staked DBOND (each of which is pegged 1:1 with HIVE/SWAP.HIVE), and a bit over 592 liquid DAB (not pegged 1:1 with HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, and would likely only give 0.2-0.3 SWAP.HIVE if bought back) that currently provides a daily income of 0.340-0.343 HIVE. Our quantity of liquid DAB, which is what determines the HIVE payouts, will soon get a nice ongoing boost once I begin loaning a portion of my weekly DAB income to @aliveandthriving some time after the August HPUD. We also have pre-existing delegation to @ecency of 1,080 HP, that provides a daily income of around 0.2xx HIVE.

Aside from those primary HIVE sources, we also pull in a quite variable amount of HIVE weekly from posts published on @aliveandthriving, @alive.chat, and @youarealive, which can at times be a fair amount, and that's definitely assisting this endeavor. To boost this variable weekly HIVE income, I've begun to upvote the daily posts on @aliveandthriving with my 100% vote weight, and I'll likely begin doing that on @alive.chat as well.

On the HSBIDAO front, we currently have just over 1,021 HSBIDAO focused in @aliveandthriving'wallet, and another 9.3+ HSBIDAO in two of its liquidity pools on the same account, and given that the more that we have, either in our wallets or in the HSBIDAO pools, the faster it grows, our holding is increasing fairly quickly. There is a constant buy wall on the market of around 0.5 HIVE/SWAP.HIVE for every HSBIDAO, so once we accumulate a substantial quantity, I'll be able to swap some of this each week for HIVE, to supplement our weekly HIVE income, and still keep our holding growing. OK, that's a fair rundown of my progress so far. It may not be amazing yet, but it is moving forward.

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by about 1PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started a bit late, but it went well, and we finally wrapped it up by around 6:15PM, after which I made myself some food in Wabisabi, and collected 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 a bit after 9:30PM, and after scanning my X feed a bit more, I went i bed by around 11:45PM. I woke up just after 7AM, still feeling that I needed a little 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 after 1:30PM, so it's a marvelous 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

Join the worldwide Satsman Army! It's by far the best, most fun, inspiring, and motivating way to earn Bitcoin/BTC!
