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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Well, it's done. My fourth external investment into the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem has been successfully completed, and a bit ahead of schedule too. My $300 in LTC arrived in my wallet this morning as 2.421 SWAP.LTC, which I sold and swapped for 616+ SWAP.HIVE. Yes, I definitely could have gotten more with a little more patience, but I was too excited to get it invested in my chosen diesel/liquidity pools to wait.
With the 616+ SWAP.HIVE, I first used some of it to add a few assets that had been accumulating (due to lack of SWAP.HIVE) into their respective pools, then I swapped some for 500 more DVS, which then got swapped for some DHEDGE to add to their shared DVS:DHEDGE pool, and to top it off, I swapped the largest chunk for 273.698 PWR, that was then added, along with the rest of the SWAP.HIVE, into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool. My daily SWAP.HIVE income is now just about 0.3 SWAP.HIVE from just those two pools, which is not bad at all, though I'm going to keep boosting it, of course.
In total now, I've made two fiat investments, one for $100, and the other being this one for $300, and two off-chain crypto investments, one of about $600, and the other about $2,000, so up to this point I've invested around $3,000 into Hive, which I find pretty incredible indeed, and I'm very grateful for the ability to do so.
I still have two rounds of DRIP unstaking to go, the third of which will unstake on early Monday morning. Most of the DRIP that I have came partly from two of my external investments, one crypto and one fiat. Unfortunately things went south with that particular choice, though it did give me good benefit for many months while it lasted. Now the SWAP.HIVE:PWR and the DVS:DHEDGE pools take its place as my main source of SWAP.HIVE. I intend to use both upcoming chunks of unstaked DRIP to continue boosting my liquidity in both of these excellent pools.
With these four external investments, and my daily building, growing, and saving, my Hive account is finally getting to a very interesting place in terms of assets, income, and liquidity, because my leverage to generate even greater growth in all areas is now much more substantial than it was even a few months or weeks ago. This makes things even more beneficial, profitable, and fun, both for me, and everyone else on the Blockchain, because my success will help my fellow Hivers to succeed.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little after 2PM, putting my focus first, as I often do, on some photography for these posts. When I had a nice batch taken, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then I dove into round two of clearing and preparing my old nursery space just behind the Landing. After I had another good chunk done, I took a short token-management break up at the Flow House, then I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With cow food done, I took a shower, stopped by the Landing to get my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to jump into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by about 10:45PM, and after some token management, I wrote and published My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 357 - Deck Fern Shadows, scanned my X feed, and then I went to bed just a little after 12:30AM. I woke up just before 7:15AM, having slept fairly well, doing more token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and to milk Daisy with Jo. Once I had milking done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so quite a good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little bit later in the afternoon, to first take more photos for these posts, strain and blend kefir, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of this post! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
