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 decision to create the ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool was strategic, as it opened up ALIVE swappability with most other tokens on Hive Engine via the master token SWAP.HIVE, and the intuition to do so certainly seems like it turned out to be accurate, as since its creation, that pool has had a very high swap/trade volume. The reason for this is that the pool connected, and acted as a bridge, to the rest of the Hive-Engine token ecosystem.
Pools like that, that bridge and connect larger pool networks, will always have a higher swapping/trading volume, since they're the gateways. This is exactly what I'd like to do again when I create our next ALIVE pool, to establish a gateway to another significant pool network, as it would likely be in high demand once it's discovered.
In my post yesterday, I mentioned some of the other community-token pool networks that I'm considering as options, such as CENT, HSBIDAO, and LBI. Neck and neck with these are several pool networks for off-chain-linked crypto assets, like SWAP.BLURT, SWAP.BTC, SWAP.LTC, SWAP.BCH. Both groups of possibilities are percolating in my mind, as I consider and weigh options, to find the next best pool for ALIVE.
We should also create a pool for Ben's HEARTBEAT token, paring it with ALIVE and/or SWAP.HIVE to start, since we need to connect it to our own, and to the greater token ecosystem. Yeah, we're going to need a very large amount of BEE for all these possible pools.
So what will our next 'We Are Alive Tribe' pool be? At the moment, the possible new pools at the top of my list are ALIVE:HEARTBEAT, ALIVE:SWAP.BLURT, ALIVE:SWAP.BTC, ALIVE:BEE, ALIVE:SWAP.LTC, ALIVE:CENT, ALIVE:HSBIDAO, and ALIVE:LBI. While we don't yet have anywhere near enough liquid BEE to create a new pool yet, I want to get clear about what our next pool would or should be (so let me know your thoughts), so that when sufficient BEE does become available, I'll be able to create it quickly.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I tidied up the area a bit, before going on a banana hunt around the property, in search of harvestable bananas (I found 2 nice racks). With those completed, I unexpectedly had to spend some time resolving an internet-outage issue, at which I was thankfully successful. With the internet good go go again, I made myself some food (a simple grilled cheese, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard) in the new kitchen, 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 tasks. I got everything done by around 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up at 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11AM, so it's a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to some of my other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before walking over to my friend Lea's place to give her a birthday session, and to share dinner with her, Melekai, and Omya, afterward. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's installment of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
