I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1016 - Another XV Acquisition, and Project Wrap-Up in 10 Days - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, May 9, 2025

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, I did it. Last night I decided to seize the opportunity to acquire another batch of XV tokens for a price of 3 HIVE per token. To do this, I swapped my chunk of 114.351 liquid PWR for 130.57501934 SWAP.HIVE, I kept a little SWAP.HIVE for liquidity pools, and then I used the remaining 130.5 SWAP.HIVE to buy another 43.5 XV. So my total XV holding is now 98.5, with 50 bought at a price of 2.36 SWAP.HIVE, 43.5 bought at 3 SWAP.HIVE, and 5 coming to me free from an Spinvest contest, for a total cost of 248.5 SWAP.HIVE. I've got a good feeling about XV, so I made sure to get as many as I could presently afford.

The XV investment project wraps up in just 10 days, and the only way for me to lose money on the investment would be if HIVE outperforms the basket of 15 off-chain crypto assets by project end, and the price of XV drops below 3 SWAP.HIVE, which while possible, is not likely. At the present price of 3.61 SWAP.HIVE, my current projected return is 355.585 SWAP.HIVE, with a projected profit of 107.085 SWAP.HIVE. While that's not a huge profit, it is still very useful indeed.

I plan to use a the portion of my return (the original total cost) to get sufficient PWR to reclaim my previous liquidity position in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, and then to use the profit to reclaim my former positions, and to go much deeper, into the SWAP.HIVE:CENT and SWAP.MEME pools, with likely a fair bit also going to establishing good positions in the SWAP.HIVE:SPS and SWAP.HIVE:DEC pools. The SWAP.HIVE:CENT pool turns out to be one of the best sources for SWAP.HIVE income, and the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pool is the one that has generated the highest earned pool fees of any that I have personally tested so far, so both are very good choices.

I might even be able to solve my chronic lack of SWAP.HIVE with sufficient liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:CENT pool, which would allow me to go deeper more quickly into various other great liquidity pools, and to acquire more solid income tokens more regularly. My assets, income, and investing liquidity keep growing, and it's super exciting, because it gives me sooooo much more growth leverage. With the strong financial base that I'm creating, I'll be able to build out my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine to whole new levels of abundance and flow.

A big part of my excitement about all this strategic and synergistic asset-leveraging that I've been doing is that I can feel that I'm on the edge of massive leaps in growth across multiple areas, and since the more I have, the faster I grow, I might indeed be preparing for blast off to a whole new stage of my investing fun. Just wait until I'm able to play with really big numbers!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, quite late again, around 3PM, heading to the fenced garden next to Kana's place to do another good round of weeding with Alex. It's quite overwhelming, because everything grows so quickly here, and there are several very vigorous plants (useful, but very weedy) that bury everything quickly if we're not diligent. We called it a day after a couple hours of focused work, after which I made my way back to the other side of the property to take a shower, collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and then to head back to the Flow House to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Although I was two days behind on them when I started, I was thankfully able to get through them all by a little after 11:30PM, and after some asset management, and buying my XV tokens, I went to bed just after 12AM. I woke up a little after 7AM, having slept fairly well, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11AM, so a glorious time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for these posts, then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
