I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #720 - Another Way to Grow BXT and DRIP Coming Online - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, July 17, 2024

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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm presently focusing on growing my holdings of BXT and DRIP, two of my favorite income tokens, as much and as quickly as I can (which I've been doing pretty well), since they are so incredibly useful to me, both on a daily basis, and over time, in providing needed liquidity in both layer 1 and layer 2. I've made two notable investments (the first one was much larger) in these two tokens so far, and I plan to continue doing so. While I am growing DRIP every day, due to its daily DRIP and SWAP.HIVE payouts, I am not able to grow BXT unless I buy more, since it only pays out in HIVE. There is another way, however, the SWAP.HIVE:BXT and the SWAP.HIVE:DRIP diesel/liquidity pools, which give daily reward payouts in BXT and DRIP respectively, and with quite good APRs.

I've had my eye on both of these pools for a while now, wanting to get assets in them at some point soon. I haven't done so up until now because I didn't want to divert these tokens from providing the dividends that thay do in their staked form. Seeing the pool APRs, however, made me realize that I would do just as well, and even better, by getting myself involved with these pools as soon as I could. The present APR for the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool is over 18%, with the SWAP.HIVE:DRIP APR presently being over 66%, paying out daily in BXT and DRIP.

While my only way to get BXT into its liquidity pool would be to add some the next time I buy a chunk, which I plan on doing, I have more leeway with DRIP. Even though the daily payout of DRIP and SWAP.HIVE are mostly off limits (at least for now) because I already have them allocated to continuing to grow my staked DRIP holding, I do receive small amounts of DRIP every day from a few other diesel pools, which would be perfect to start adding to its pool. This has the benefit, too, of adding small amounts over time, so as not to drain my daily SWAP.HIVE balance, which I am most certainly using for other things.

I plan to keep adding small amounts of BXT and DRIP, with their SWAP.HIVE pair, to their respective pools, growing my pool stake over time, continually reinvesting the daily-reward payouts back into the pools. At some point, of course, once I have a strong postition in both, I'll begin diverting some of the daily BXT and DRIP pool payouts into staking. That sounds like a good plan to me, and now I'll get to see how it plays out! It'll take a while for me to grow my positions in these two pools to a substantial level, but that's fine with me, as I'll still be growing my holdings in them, and on two fronts, and I'm all-in for the long haul, so all good!

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after completing my Hive tasks, just after 2PM. As I usually do, I strained out and blended kefir first, and then I took a few photos for these posts, in the moments when the sun came out to play. For land work, I helped Ano, and later Zai too, to clear in the new orchard behind Kana's house. Unfortunately I broke my machete in the process (the wooden handle broke), so I had to go find a replacement. We kept working until just before sunset, at which point I took a shower, collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and then I headed back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Although I wasn't able to get fully caught up for 3 days in a row, last night I did successfully conquer my notifications completely by just before 10PM, ending the night at the top of the Ecency Leaderboard. I did a little engagement and posting on Waves, then I finally went to bed just before 11PM. Thankfully I slept well, waking up just a bit before 7:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed just after 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just after 12:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, hopefully take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) 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.
