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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
There are some very interesting things happening with our beloved ALIVE toke as of late, that some of you might already have noticed, especially with the market price, which has risen substantially over the past few days. This is due to a combination of HIVE being distributed in our daily ALIVE dividends (which I knew would notabiy increase the price), and @benthomaswwd, @urrirru, and @benf.alive buying a whole lot of ALIVE off the market. Our friend @urrirru also wrote a very nice post about our token, ALIVE, and the comments on that post are as interesting as the post itself, especially from our friend Alexandr (@stdd, thank you very much, brother!), which I loved seeing.
This morning when I checked on the market price of ALIVE, I was happily shocked to see that the highest buy order was at 0.030015 SWAP.HIVE, and the lowest sell order was at a whopping 0.498300 SWAP.HIVE! It's dropped a little bit since earlier this morning, but the lowest sell order is presently sitting at 0.399600 SWAP.HIVE, which is still fantastic. My hope is that soon the price of ALIVE will exceed the price of HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, which I think is very possible indeed.
Although I don't want to mention who it is just yet, until he and I talk more, and finalize a few things first, one of our highly-esteemed Alive Tribe members has very kindly and generously offered to cover the cost of our next ALIVE diesel/liquidity pool, ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE, so this new pool may indeed be online and ready to go quite soon. He understands well that the success of our token is strongly connected to the success of our community, and therefore to his own success as well. That's Maximum Mutual Benefit to the max!
After the ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool is operational, we intend to continue creating more ALIVE pools over time, as our resources allow, and given that we do very much want our community members to add and keep liquidity in our pools, the idea came to me last night that assets in our pools, including our ALIVE:ALIVEM pool, should indeed be counted for our daily distribution of ALIVE dividends, so that our liquidity providers (I'll certainly be one of them!) don't have to decide between the two uses of our token, as they'll receive benefits from both asset allocations.
Since most of the layer-2 tokens, aside from ALIVE and BBH, presently being distributed in the ALIVE dividends are of quite low use and value, my intention is to add and/or swap in notably more useful and valuable assets into this daily token distribution as soon as it's feasible. Things are going quite well for our ALIVE token as of late, and as I say all the time, we're just getting started, and the best is yet to come, my friends!
Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks by around 12PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled to 1:30PM. The session started a little late, and we wrapped it up by around 5:30PM, after which I headed to the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge. While I was there, Chelsea shared a wonderful treat with me, a frozen abiu (a tropical fruit with a lovely custard-like flavor and texture), which was a glorious new experience for me (it never occured to me to try freezing tropical fruit, but I'll definitely be doing it from now on!), and the frozen version tasted very much like sorbet. After savoring our frozen delight, I finally collected my jar of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with that in hand, 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 finished everything up by a little after 9PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just before 10:30PM. I woke up at 3AM, and unable to sleep, I did more asset management, then I made another mostly-unsuccessful attempt at sleep. I finally got out of bed by a little after 6AM, first to go up to the mini pallet platform on the lava to watch and photograph the sunrise over the trees (for which Chelsea joined me), then back to the Flow House to get my Qortal node back online once the solar electrical system kicked in once again (ironically, it lasted all night, then crashed just before 6:45AM). Once my Qortal node was operational again, I went to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee, and then I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:15PM, so it's a fantabulous 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 to focus first on photography for my posts, collecting coconut meat and coconut water from several younger coconuts to begin another round of kefir fermentation, then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of these posts tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
