I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1476 - 34.8k HP Incoming Today, and Refining My Method of Growing The Community's DBOND and DAB - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, August 3, 2026

5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

34,800 Hive Power will easily come today, and at my current rate of growth, I should also easily reach 34,900 HP before the end of the week, with 35,000 Hive Power by next week. Yep, it's growing quite quickly now indeed. Since I smashed my 2026 goal of 25,000 HP, I'm setting a new year-end goal of 40,000 Hive Power, which with how quickly my HP is now accumulating, should be quite achievable.

At this rate of HP growth, Orca Level is clearly coming into sight, even though I do still have a way to go to reach it, but reach it I shall indeed. With my goal of keeping my ratio of delegated HP as close to 50% as I can (I'm a bit over that at the moment), I'll have a whole lot of HP to delegate, which will allow me to support various projects, and to leverage and grow my assets, all the more strongly.

In my last few posts I've mentioned my new method of leveraging and growing DBOND and DAB, and how I'd like to implement this for the We Are Alive Tribe as well. The main issue with starting to do it now, is that I/we still need the daily HIVE income from our liquid DAB to keep our HP delegation to Bradley, @bradleyarrow, growing at a good pace, which is increasing our daily HIVE income. Yesterday I mentioned that the soon-to-be loans of DAB to @aliveandthriving and @aliveandsocial that I'll be making would allow me to implement this much sooner than expected.

Basically, as soon as I begin sending over liquid DAB to @aliveandthriving and @aliveandsocial, I'll stake the same amount of DAB that I send. This will allow me to both accelerate the growth of our DBOND, which will produce more DAB, while at the same time keeping our daily HIVE income stable. My loaned DAB will remain liquid, while the community's DAB will be staked, a little at a time. Eventually our DAB income will be at such a level that I'll be able to pay myself back, but only after our weekly HIVE income is restored to a workable level.

In this process of rebuilding our weekly HIVE income, to get ahead of projects upon which we depend coming to an end, I intend to diversify our delegation investments, and their subsequent HIVE income, so that we are not dependent on only one source. Backups, redundancy, and economic resilience are all essential in Hive's current abysmal financial conditions, as many of us have learned over the past few years.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I got a nice batch of shots, I went to sunbathe in the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a short while, before diving into the project of thoroughly weeding the heavily-overgrown yacón bed next to the shop. After wrapping that up for the day, I took a shower, made myself some food, and collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge in Wabisabi, before heading back to the Flow House to scan my X feed for bit, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just before 10PM, and after scanning my X feed a little more, I went to bed by around 11PM. I woke up by just after 7AM, having slept reasonably well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee, and making Avi (who's paying me to do so) breakfast, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and to begin on 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 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 iteration 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!
