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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
It's rather ironic that I had just gotten us a nice bit of liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool on the same day that the daily HIVE payouts for staked BXT, and the daily BXT payouts for liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool, stopped once again. I mentioned it to the fellow who runs BeeSwap in Discord last night, and I found out that he manually turned them off, though he didn't say when he would reactivate them. Unfortunately, he sees Hive as being dead, with no future here, so he has zero motivation left to run a solid project, which makes BXT unreliable in terms of income streams.
That's very troubling to me, because I love BeeSwap and BXT, and I have for most of my time on Hive. Because I'm doing my best to create and grow the most stable, consistent, dependable, and reliable income streams possible, as I build our 'We Are Alive Tribe' Multi-Stream Passive Income Machine, I did some research and calculations this morning on other layer-2 tokens which pay out HIVE daily or weekly, and also very importantly, which are dependable and reliable sources for HIVE.
As of now, it basically comes down to DBOND/DAB/RUG, EDSI/EDSM/EDSMM, and DUO, and after a fair bit of number hashing, it became obvious to me that in terms of the most value for our investment, that the DBOND/DAB/RUG trio had the most bang for the buck. Second best is the EDSI/EDSM/EDSMM trio, with DUO coming in last (even though it's still quite good).
With this new information, I made the decision to remove our assets from the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool, to swap the BXT half for SWAP.HIVE, and then to divide the SWAP.HIVE between increasing our liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, and buying RUG off the market. Holding RUG pays out DBOND daily, which when staked gives DAB. If left liquid, DAB pays HIVE daily, if staked, it produces more DBOND. I chose to buy RUG because it's cheaper than either DBOND or DAB, and it would allow us to continue growing our liquid DAB, so that we would be able to receive the daily HIVE payouts, while still growing our staked DBOND.
To be able to distribute large amounts of HIVE each week to our HP delegators, and in the daily ALIVE dividends, we need several solid, stable, reliable, and dependable income sources for HIVE, and although I could probably grow our weekly HIVE income more quickly by delegating more BEE to @bee.voter, that just makes us more dependant on only one source for HIVE (plus we need BEE for pool creation and management), which is why I'm focusing on creating other strong streams of HIVE, to give more redundancy and resilience to our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy. Last night I also realized a very concerning fact about HBD, HIVE, and the fiat Dollar, but I'll save that for another post, as I'm still working to understand certain aspects about it. It may make me shift what I do with HBD, both on my own account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe. Regardless of what's happening in the greater Hive Ecosystem, or with Hive projects, as always I will do my absolute best to invest, manage, leverage, and grow our assets, for the good of us all. Period.
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a nice batch of shots taken, I got a few small chores for other people completed, after which I got a wheelbarrow, and I transported the new generator the community had bought, from Kana's truck, across the property, to our solar electrical system. After moving the generator into place, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, and then I spent the next hour and a half reading through the generator's documentation, and setting up the new dual propane/gas generator on our system. Once I had gone as far as I could for the day, I went to the Landing to make a batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn, and with some of that, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, I headed 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 talking with the BeeSwap/BXT/dCity creator, I went to bed by a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up around 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to reallocate our BXT holding, and to write this post. It's now just after 12:45PM, so it's a marvelous 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, on collecting coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts to begin another round of kefir fermentation, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation 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.
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
