I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1539 - My Intuition Around DBOND-DAB Was Accurate, and Thoughts on Potential Reallocation - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, October 5, 2026

1 hour 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 8 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my post yesterday, I mentioned that I had an intuition to stake all the liquid DAB on my own account, and on two WAAT (We Are Alive Tribe) accounts, @aliveandthriving and @aliveandsocial. Well, this morning my intuition was validated when I read the update post from Spinvest, where it was stated that the DBOND-DAB project would most likely, 75% probability, be brought to a close within the next few months. It might be integrated into the EDSI project in some way, but that possibility is far less likely.

Since DBOND is 1:1 backed by HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, and DAB is not, leveraging DAB to grow DBOND only makes sense, so that's the plan moving forward, until the project is brought to an end in the near future. Hopefully I'll be able to gain a good bit more DBOND for myself, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, before the door closes.

If and when DBOND-DAB is ended, and I, and we, have a nice chunk of either HIVE or SWAP.HIVE from the buyback, the question arises, to where should it be allocated next? If the redeemed asset is HIVE, then obviously it would be powered up and delegated, very likely to @nectarbytes for ELIXIR payouts (which pay out HIVE weekly when staked), and/or to @pakx for PAKX payouts (which also pay out HIVE, though I don't yet know the cadence). If it comes in as SWAP.HIVE, for my own account I'd invest it into solid layer-2 tokens and liquidity pools, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, I'd probably convert it to HIVE, to then power up and delegate.

On my own account, I'm earning about 10 DBOND per week, equivalent to 10 HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, so even a month or two more would allow me to boost my stake by at least another 40-80 DBOND before wrap-up, and maybe even more with all of my DAB staked too. I'm in 100% DBOND-leverage mode now until the end, or until DBOND-DAB is integrated into the EDSI project in some way.

Whatever ends up happening with DBOND-DAB, I'm positioning myself, and the We Are Alive Tribe, to reap the best possible benefits from that asset. Now to figure out how to replace its lost HIVE income, and to keep growing.

Yesterday, Monday, 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, and then to chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and unloading Ano's truck after the Sunday market. With those completed, I did a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi, I took a short break up at the Flow House, then I finished moving a tarp over a swathe of cane grass that I had cut the other day. With that completed, I took a shower, then I went to La'a Pueo with Avi, for him to show me some of his agentic-AI adventures and creations. After we wrapped that up for the evening, I went to Wabisabi to make myself some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, before heading back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work with Hermes some more. I got through all my notifications by 10PM, and after another round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by just after 12AM. I woke up by about 8:30AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and then to begin on this post. It's now just before 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 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
