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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My interest in blockchains began many years ago, when I began trading on Poloniex. At that time, however, I had no real understanding of exactly why blockchain technology was so revolutionary. When I discovered Bastyon (then Pocketnet) back in February of 2021, I began to get and understand the wonders of an immutable, decentralized blockchain. I came across Hive a bit later in 2021, in September, and what I found deeply enthralled me, so I dove in deep to learn and understand everything that I could about Hive, about other blockchains, and about blockchain technology in general.

It's been more than 3 years now on both Bastyon (even though I took a long break once I landed in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem) and Hive, and my blockchain passion has only grown. I discovered Qortal in September of last year, which is another incredible blockchain project in which I've become quite deeply involved. I found DeSo in January of this year, and while it's quite fascinating and revolutionary in its own right, I still have not gone as deep in that ecosystem as I have in the previous three. All of these blockchains are what I would call sovereignty-driven technology, as they are build by the community, assets are self-custodial, they are entirely or mostly decentralized, and they are open source, so they all put power back in the hands of We The People.

Each of these four blockchains has truly amazing things about them (though it's no secret that Hive is and always will be my favorite), as well as growth edges and challenges. As I've spent time on each blockchain, getting to know them and their quirks, I've gotten pretty good at navigating issues and problems when they arise. I've also learned how best to earn and grow assets on each chain.

One of the excellent things about being active and growing assets on 4 separate sovereignty-driven blockchains is that I'm able to leverage their various assets against each other, and to transfer assets (sometimes super easy, and other times requiring a few hoops through which to jump) between blockchain to boost growth, as I did with the PKOIN that I made on Bastyon being sold and sent to Hive as LTC to fund my mega-powerup to dolphin level on the December HPUD last year.

As my interests in coding and programming grow, my desire to dive into helping and contributing on Hive and these other bloclchains also grows. As it stands now, I am most interested in development on Hive and Qortal, and while I have not jumped into this endeavor yet (aside from the work that I've done with @borniet on our tipping bots and the MMB Meta-Project), I don't think the time is far off when I do. I still have a great desire to interconnect and integrate these four blockchain with each other in some manner, especially in terms of transferring and trading their respective assets. We shall see what flows in this regard, but there is one thing of which I am certain, that the blockchain fun will indeed continue!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, around 2:15PM, putting my attenion first on collecting a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. I had wanted to take photos for these posts, but sadly the weather did not cooperate. Once I had finished with getting cow food, I took a shower and a short break up at the Flow House, to do some token management, and then I went to do the dry-goods order in Tutu's. With that done, I made my way to the Landing to make myself some food (spiced and seasoned mini-beef patties with pepperjack cheese and honey mustard). When my food preparation was done, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and I headed back to the Flow House, to eat, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot more notifications than I have as of late, so for the first time in weeks, I was not able to catch up fully. I finally stopped around 11:30PM, and after some token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 12AM. I did sleep well, super thankfully, waking up about 7:15AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and catching up more on my notifications, before finally getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee. I was supposed to milk the cow this morning with Jo(hanna), but that had to be delayed until after I got this post and my other Hive tasks done. It's now just after 1PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can get to those few important Hive tasks, and go milk the cow, along with photography for these posts, and community/land work later. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
