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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
In my post yesterday I mentioned that I had begun to contribute/donate 1 SWAP.HIVE per day, about 40% of my daily SWAP.HIVE income, to build the financial infrastructure that is to become the 'We Are Alive Tribe' Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine. Well, I have some great news to share with you today. After sending and investing my second round of 1 SWAP.HIVE yesterday, Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) very generously sent me 10 HIVE and 50 SWAP.HIVE, to help me speed up the building of our financial infrastructure.
I used both of Ben's contributions to strongly increase our liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:BXT and the SWAP.HIVE:PWR diesel/liquidity pools, and to quite good effect. After adding my 1 SWAP.HIVE of liquidity to the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, our daily SWAP.HIVE income was boosted to 0.08595542 SWAP.HIVE per day, and after Ben's much larger contribution yesterday, and my third small investment of 1 SWAP.HIVE this morning, we now have a daily income of 0.09891609 SWAP.HIVE from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool. While it's not a huge jump (the liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool is quite high now), over the week it will add up quite nicely.
My first SWAP.HIVE sent to @aliveandthriving the day before yesterday went into the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool, but it was just under the threshold to receive daily BXT payouts. With Ben's sizable contribution yesterday, we now have a daily income of 0.016 BXT, which is excellent, and it now even surpasses my own daily BXT income. I'm going to begin staking those daily drips of BXT on @aliveandthriving, and although it will take time to reach the level that I now have on my own account, this will begin to add to our growing weekly HIVE income.
While I could very definitely use the SWAP.HIVE that I'm contributionally investing in the We Are Alive Tribe, I love and believe in our community, and I know that the more I'm able to build and strengthen our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy, the more that we will all benefit from it, myself included, so I'm happy to do so. This is just the beginning, my friends!
One other bit of good news that I have to share with you today is that, after receiving our weekly HIVE payout for our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter, and me hashing the numbers, I'm happy to announce that starting on Wednesday of this coming week, we will be distributing 21 HIVE (15 HIVE this week) to our HP delegators, and 21 HIVE (15 this week) in our daily ALIVE dividends, which means that not only will our HP delegators get a nice boost, but also that we'll be back to distributing 3 HIVE per day in our ALIVE dividends. To be able to do this, we're cutting it very close, with very little buffer/surplus HIVE, but it will work this week at least. Given that our weekly HIVE income varies week to week, it's likely that I'll have to adjust the amount of HIVE sent out to HP delegators, and to distribute in the ALIVE dividends, on a weekly basis, until we're able to rebuild a good amount of buffer/surplus HIVE. I've already coordinated this with Bjorn, and thankfully he will also be creating an interface for me to be able to do it myself, so that I don't have to take up his always-busy time. I'll do everything that I can to not fall below the 21/21 HIVE distributed weekly, but we shall see. This is exactly why we need many strong income streams, which I'm endeavoring to create and grow. Imagine 50/50 or 100/100 HIVE sent out weekly. While we're not there yet, we will be.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had a good batch of shots taken, I got an o-o bar, and a shovel, and I dug 2 more banana-planting holes at the end of the second driveway. Upon finshing that, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I got my machete, and I did some focused clearing and weeding in and around the planting bed in front of the first driveway. When I finally finished with that, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by just before 9PM, and after some asset management, and exploring apps and themes on Qortal, I went to bed just after 10:30PM. Unfortunately I woke up around 3AM, and I couldn't get back to sleep, which I tried to do after staying up for about an hour. I finally got out of bed just before 7:30AM, definitely feeling my lack of sleep, 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 12PM, so it's a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other 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, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
