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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I've mentioned many times the incredible work that the @hivesucre team has been doing in their efforts in community outreach, education, and onboarding of local businesses in Cumaná, Sucre, Venezuela, to accept Hive assets as a valid form of payment for goods and services, and while their Hive account hasn't had a new post for about a year, they haven't been the only Hivers which have been working diligently to create and spread a Hive-based economy in their local communities. The SpendHBD and Distriator initiatives have been expanding their reach to cities worldwide, making it possible for Hivers in many parts of the world to surmount their local economic conditions, by allowing them to use assets that they generate on Hive to replace local fiat currencies in their day-to-day economic transactions. My friend @ijelady has been doing truly excellent work in her local communities in Nigeria to educate and onboard many new business and people to Hive, and I commend her tireless efforts to grow our Ecosystem, and to help those around her to discover the wonder that Hive is.
Presently SpendHBD and Distriator are being utilized in communities in over 30 different countries, including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, El Salvador, Finland, Germany, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Switzerland, the United States, Venezuela, among others, and all outside the system of governmental control. That's absolutely huge. I knew that this is exactly what would begin to happen, and it's why I've been so intensely focused on creating and building multiple streams of inexhaustible liquidity and income on Hive over the past almost 4 years now, because I want to be ready for when this becomes feasible where I live.
With that as my goal, I've been exploring and expanding into every Hive investment domain that I'm able, and I'm presently at 11 and counting (5 active, and 6 passive), with each one continuing to be boosted and grown with focused effort, as my resources permit. I've come a long way, but I still have so far to go, which is why I'm tenaciously consistent in my daily asset-leveraging endeavors.
I always do my best to leverage every asset that I have available in the most effective and efficient manner possible, to generate the greatest possible asset growth, which makes it possible for me to leverage in ever stronger ways. This requires staying on top of my multitudinous investments, and periodically adjusting, tweaking, and changing how and where I invest.
It's no secret that I've been going ever deeper into a whole host of diverse diesel/liquidity pools, because they offer a truly excellent way to both grow my assets, and to support the whole Hive Ecosystem. Last night I sent 1,100 BLURT from my Blurt account to Hive Engine, I swapped half of it for SWAP.BTC, and then used that to add the remaining SWAP.BLURT into the SWAP.BLURT:SWAP.BTC pool. I also added a chunk of DEC that I had acquired into the BEE:DEC pool, and I'm happy to say that both of these pools are now generating pool fees, so the beauty of compounding interest and exponential growth is already doing its magic. Every day my base of assets and income is increasing, which I just keep reinvesting over and over again, as I build my Hive financial empire, and grow inexhaustible investment liquidity. Have I mentioned how much fun investing and asset leveraging on Hive is?
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and going to Tutu's to collect some good supplies for the Landing. Once I had those done (I did end up taking more photos later in the afternoon, too), I had to troubleshoot and fix an internet connection issue in Halai Hapai, which I was able to do successfully. With that accomplished, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit. My last task of the day was to rebury the ethernet conduit going across a trail to Halai Hapai, since it was too close to the surface. When I finally had that done, I took a shower, then I went to sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a while. After I felt well sunned, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with that in hand, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I paused that for a short while, since Melekai came up to the Flow House to pay me a visit. I got everything done pretty late, a bit after 11:30PM, and after lots of asset management, I went to bed, way too late, just after 1AM. I woke up just before 8AM, still feeling that I needed more 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 before 1:15PM, so quite a good time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
