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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
My Hive Power is increasing at quite a nice pace now, and as expected, I should easily surpass 14,200 Hive Power at some point today, which leaves me with 800 HP to gain by the middle of December. I've been gaining about 100 HP per week for 3 weeks now, so at that cadence I'd have 8 weeks go to reach 15,000 Hive Power. Of course, my HP keeps compounding, plus I give it a monthly HPUD boost, so I may get to 15K HP sooner than I expect, which would be nifty indeed.
It's becoming increasingly clear to me just how good an investment that Hive Power is (I'm not concerning myself with the present fiat value of HIVE), because it can be used very effectively to fuel growth across both layer 1 and layer 2 (which will also include VSC and DLUX/SPK). Hive Power combined with direct and lease delegations allows for regular injections of investment liquidity into useful and valuable layer-2 tokens, some of which then provide daily or weekly HIVE payouts, and into an assortment of excellent diesel/liquidity pools, which come with their own benefits of daily liquidity rewards in a kaleidoscope of assets and/or pool fees. HP leases were the game-changer for me, and they're what made me fully get just how useful having huge amounts of Hive Power truly is.
As most of you have likely already noticed, Hive is going through some rather rough and challenging times as of late, and while I'm certainly not happy about that, my commitment, determination, and resolve to continue forward with what I'm building and growing on my account, and with the We Are Alive Tribe, is as solid and unwavering as always. I, and we, do our best with what we have available, as we continue to move forward, no matter what.
Even with the present challenges and rough waters, the We Are Alive Tribe is doing quite well I'd say, with expansion onto a sibling Blockchain, and daily HIVE payouts for holding and staking ALIVE now rolling. The daily HIVE drips in our ALIVE dividends mark a significant milestone, and it's bringing with it greater interest in our community, and in our token. The market price of ALIVE is hovering in the 0.022 SWAP.HIVE range this morning, so it's up 0.002 SWAP.HIVE from yesterday, which is excellent to see, and I expect that upward trend to continue.
I mentiomed yesterday that we have quite a surplus of HIVE, with our income still notably exceeding what we're sending out to the community, and that we're planning to increase the amount of HIVE, and the layer-2 tokens, that are sent. I took a quick look this morning at how much HIVE is sitting on our various Alive Tribe accounts, and at the moment we have 76.909 HIVE in total. 11 HIVE (10 HIVE for payouts+ 1 HIVE precision buffer) is supposed to be allocated weekly to HP delegators, 11 HIVE (10 HIVE for payouts+1 HIVE precision buffer) is supposed to be allocated to ALIVE holders and stakers in the daily ALIVE dividends, and 20 HIVE is supposed to be allocated to powering up on one of our various community accounts. So as you can see, we've got a surplus of 34.909 HIVE, and that's not even taking into account the HIVE payouts from our POB delegations to @pob.voter that will be coming in shortly, so expect larger HIVE payouts, both for HP delegators, and for ALIVE holders and stakers, soon.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, a little after 2:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. After taking a nice batch, I walked around the property on a sadly unsuccessful quest for banana racks that were ready to harvest. Once I had that completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I got a shovel and an o-o bar, to go dig more holes next to Tutu's on the hill, for banana planting. With that finished, I took a shower, I headed to the Landing to nibble on some leftover food, and after eating my fill, and collecting my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and to catch up on my Hive notifications. I got everything done by around 9:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed, quite early, a bit before 10:15PM. I woke up around 6AM again, 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 12:45PM, so it's a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
