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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
One of the many cool features of BeeSwap, a site that I use for various purposes several times per day, is that it gives the total present (it's always changing) fiat-dollar value of our various assets across layer 1, layer 2, diesel/liquidity pools, and even Splinterlands assets, at the top of each category. This is very useful indeed to get an overview of our Hive asset distribution. Each of these areas offers many opportunities to generate assets, income, and growth, which I've been exploring since I arrived on the Blockchain 3.25 years ago.
For most of my time here I've focused my energy and resources in layer-1 and layer-2 tokens, with diesel/liquidity pools being a secondary, though useful, focus. With my recent experiences with DRIP, and other layer-2 tokens like it, I assessed and decided to refocus a much larger percentage of my investments into certain select diesel/liquidity pools. Until recently, liquidity pools always provided good benefits, but not really any sort of usable income. The main reason for that is that I wasn't solidly investing in any of them. I am now.
As can be seen from the information below, the majority of my assets are still in layer 1, followed by layer-2 tokens, and now, after my multiple large injections of assets into them, diesel/liquidity pools are now my third largest investment. This is just the beginning, however, as I intend to continue growing my investment in certain excellent liquidity pools immensely, to bring it on par with my investments into layer 2 tokens (it's still half as much), and then over time, to balance out my asset and investment distribution across all of them (with the possible exception of Splinterlands, which will likely remain a side focus, for the time being at least).
Asset Distribution and Fiat Value as of 11:15AM, Tuesday, January 27, 2025
Total Accounts' Fiat-Dollar Value: $5,564.85
Layer 1 (Liquid, Staked, and Delegated HIVE and HBD): $3,964.99
Layer 2 (Liquid, Staked, and Delegated Layer-2 tokens): $1,031.91/with $68.79 on @tydyn.rain (DRIP - Devesting)
Diesel/Liquidity Pools (Paired Layer-2 tokens in Liquidity Pools): $494.27
Splinterlands (Splinterlands Assets and Tokens): $4.89
I find it so fascinating that when I first arrived on Hive, I had little to no interest in money, investing, or finance, and now they're some of my favorite things! That radical change is wholely and completely because of Hive, which to this day is still the most elegant, efficient, and effective financial system that I've ever seen. It's also the bar none best framework to leverage, generate, and grow assets and income, which is exactly why any off-chain crypto assets get funneled into investing on Hive. To date, I've made two fiat investments totaling $400, along with two off-chain crypto investments of about $1,600, so around $3,000 in total, and I'm just getting started! I'm going to whale level, and in all areas!
The more that I invest, and see the notable benefits from doing so, the more that I want to invest. I'm already working with chunks of assets worth hundreds of HIVE/SWAP.HIVE, and soon it will be in the thousands, then hundreds of thousands. I'm feeding this compounding-interest and exponential-growth machine as much and as quickly as I possibly can, and boy oh boy is it getting fun!
Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, around 2:30PM, putting my attention first on fixing one tiny internet issue that Soozi had in Fuschia Phoenix, which I thankfully completed quickly. With that accomplished, I took some photos for these posts, then I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. When kefir was done, I took a short token-management break up at the Flow House, before going to Tutu's to do the dry-goods order, and then getting my machete to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. Upon finishing that, I stopped by the Landing to get my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30PM, and after some token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just after 11PM. I woke up around 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed just a little after 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. As soon as I had that done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for my session with Sol at 1:30PM. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
