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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Those who read my posts regularly likely already know this, but I'm kind of into income tokens. Obsessed might be more accurate. Receiving regular payments in HIVE or SWAP.HIVE, either daily, weekly, or sometimes monthly, for simply holding or staking some tokens, is really hard not to love.
The challenge with income tokens is finding the really good ones. The challenge with investing in income tokens is that they are all in layer 2, which for the most part is made up of projects run and managed by single individuals, which inherently makes them more prone to failure, especially over time. The most solid layer-2 projects have a well-planned roadmap, a passionate team of people, excelllent communication with the community, and a dedication to giving back to supporters exactly or more than is promised. While I do invest in projects that don't fully meet there criteria, I do my best to keep my main focus on those that do.
Even with these guidelines, there are still quite a few quite solid (consistent, dependable, reliable) income-token projects, which is great, except when there isn't enough liquidity to acquire them. The more that I look into and research various tokens, the more tokens that I want to buy. Even with my recent megabuy of income tokens, although it definitely helped a good bit, I still lack sufficient liquidity to purchase even a fraction of the various tokens that I'd like.
For me, income tokens (aside from those that pay out other tokens) sit clearly in two camps, those that pay out HIVE, and those that pay out SWAP.HIVE. The reason that I make this distinction is because all the HIVE that I get goes into either powering up, or at some point, into HBD. All of the SWAP.HIVE that I receive goes into either diesel/liquidity pools, to buy more income tokens, or trading on Hive Engine. Trading on Hive Engine still has the greatest potential to rapidly grow assets and liquidity, which can then be allocated wherever needed, either in layer 1 with Hive Power and HBD in Savings, and in layer 2 with the above-mentioned diesel/liquidity pools, and income-token purchases. My short-term goal is to grow my holding of select high-performing income TOKENS from both categories, like DRIP (which pays out SWAP.HIVE) and BXT (which pays out HIVE), so that I receive several HIVE and SWAP.HIVE every day that can be allocated in the desired directions over time. I'm getting closer to realizing this each day, which will then lay the foundation for my next levels of growth.
Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House around 2PM, after wrapping up my morning-afternoon Hive tasks, and I made a beeline for the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, to get some sunbathing in, while the sun was out. After sunning for a while, I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), then I walked around the property, and a short way down our jungle road, to take photos, as the light was lovely. When I had that done, I helped Ano put up two new water-collection gutters on a rebuilt structure (two parking spots and storage), that was recently coined the Manta Ray, and to organize around it a bit. Once I was done helping Ano, I collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had so many notifications last night, in part due to my friend @borniet supercharging his level of engagement, that I wasn't able to get fully caught up, although I did get very close! I finally made myself go to sleep a little after 12:30AM, unfortunately not sleeping very well, waking up around 7AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just before 12:30PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, then to go help Melekai up at her place. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
