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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I love and believe in Hive, but man are things rough lately. Sentiment both on and about the Blockchain are at all-time lows, along with the fiat-dollar price of HIVE, while the Hive Debt is close to its all-time high, and a seemingly constant stream of abandoned and failed project and layer-2 tokens. I'm sad to say that our Blockchain Ecosystem has eroded quite a lot over the last few years, which is heartbreaking to me. I've most certainly not given up on Hive, but it's obvious to anyone paying even the slightest attention that it has some critical issues, that are not only crippling its growth, but also causing its continued decline. Hive and its resources, people included, are not being managed with care, or well, I'd say.
My tenacious commitment and dedication to Hive and to the We Are Alive Tribe are unwavering, even as it seems to me that so many aspects of our Blockchain Ecosystem are falling apart. I do believe that we can surmount these notable challenges, though from my perspective, certain important things definitely need to change.
I've got to say the it sure isn't easy to create and build consistent and stable synergistic passive-income systems that function as intended over the long term when so many important components fail or just stop working entirely. I don't give up, however, but rather I just adapt, improvise, overcome, and keep on flowing, the best that I'm able, based on the situations that present themselves. Some functionality can't be replicated, unfortunately, which can make my endeavors quite difficult indeed at times.
I've narrowed my focus quite a lot lately regarding layer-2 investments, for me, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, strongly prioritizing assets backed by known sold, trustworthy, consistent, and reliable people and projects. I'll very likely be reallocating some assets presently in various diesel/liquidity, because of this. It's so essential to know the people that run the projects and tokens in which we become involved, and in which we invest. That's a big reason that I'm as open, transparent, and communicative in these daily posts about what I'm doing, and what I intend to do, with and for the We Are Alive Tribe, as possible. Being consistent and dependable makes it possible for others to be able to do the same, as they build their own income systems, and for solid trust to grow.
Until recently, my goal was to someday be able to live of of what I've generated and built here on Hive, and while I would still very much love that, so much of my focus is now going into working for the growth and success of the We Are Alive Tribe. Honesty, I'm praying that our Blockchain Ecosystem is able to make it through these exceedingly challenging times, and to move forward in a good direction for all of us. I don't know how not to leverage and grow assets, so I shall continue to do so, as I work to help make the We Are Alive Tribe as strong and resilient as I possibly can, one day, and one step, at a time.
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finshing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 1:45PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, and after getting a nice batch of shots, and completing a couple small chores, I got my machete and I did another two good rounds of clearing at various spots on the property, with a quick asset-management break in between. Once I finally finished that for the day, I took a shower, heated myself up some leftover food that I had in the Landing fridge, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by about 8:30PM, at which point I felt inspired to go make myself a grilled cheese in the Landing. I nibbled on my snack as I did my last round of asset management, before going to bed at 11PM. I woke up around 7:15AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:15PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get 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 community/land work. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2025 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
