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 the process of building our 'We Are Alive Tribe' financial infrastructure, otherwise known as our 'We Are Alive' Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine, I've been modeling it after what I've created and grown on my own account, based on 4+ years of experimentation and direct experience. My own Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine has quite a few different parts to it, some of which are quite easy to implement for the 'We Are Alive Tribe', while others just aren't feasible, at least not yet.
Of the feasible components that I've been implementing, most of my focus lately has gone to diesel/liquidity pools and passive-income tokens, as they are good sources for useful and valuable layer-2 tokens, as well as HIVE. Delegations are also important, though most of that has to be kept to layer-2 tokens for the moment, since we don't have much HP to spare, with it being very important for curation and upvotes. There is one pre-existing HP delegation on @youarealive to @ecency of 1,060+ HP (that was made before I took over asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe) which I have not removed. That delegation provides us with about 0.2xx HIVE every day, along with Ecency Points, which can be used for HP boosts on our community accounts (which this just reminded me to do).
Layer-2 delegations of BEE and POB to @bee.voter and @pob.voter respectively, are a very significant part of our weekly HIVE income, with our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter being the main way that we are presently able to send out HIVE every day in the ALIVE dividends, and to our HP delegators. I love that this works so well, but I don't want us to be dependent on only one project as the source for most of our weekly HIVE income, which is exactly why I'm endeavoring to get HIVE coming in other ways as well. Backups and redundancy are how to keep systems functioning as they should over the long term, and that's what I'm working to create.
Diesel/Liquidity pools are an extremely good source for dependable daily payouts of a whole cornucopia of diverse layer-2 tokens, many of which can also be added to an assortment of other pools, and as such they're great for generating and growing assets, that can then use in multiple useful ways. Some pools have very high trading/swapping volumes (like our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool), which means that their earned pool fees are quite high, so they're an excellent way to grow particular assets over time, similar to a bank/credit union savings account.
In terms of HIVE passive-income tokens, of which there are a lot fewer now than there used to be, my decision to switch from BXT to the DAB-DBOND-RUG trio, both on my account and for the We Are Alive Tribe on @aliveandthriving, does appear to have been a good one, based on how quickly my holding and stake of DAB and DBOND are increasing on my own account, and my growing daily HIVE income. Although I'm working on it (and with my own funds), I'm not at that level yet on @aliveandthriving, though the synergistic DAB-DBOND-RUG snowball has already begun to roll, and with it our daily HIVE income will continue to rise, at first slowly, and then more quickly as compounding does it's magic.
Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, it went very well, and we wrapped it up by about 6PM, after which I went to the Landing to make myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, longevity spinach leaves, pepperjack cheese, olive oil, and sea salt), 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 a bit before 9PM, and after some asset management, and watching a Corbett Report episode on Qortal about Linux, I went to bed by about 11PM. I woke up quite late, by about 7:30AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to begin writing this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's a very good 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 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.
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

You're invited to provide liquidity in our two ALIVE diesel/liquidity pools, both of which offer daily liquidity rewards:
ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE
and
ALIVE:ALIVEM
There will be more ALIVE pools coming soon!
Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!
This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!
Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!
Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!
Vote for @bradleyarrow's 
Witness Node!
Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
