I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1039 - Monday Musings - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, June 1, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I had a thought pop into my mind a few days ago, in relation to diesel/liquidity pools, and my involvement with them, that hadn't occurred to me before, but that makes complete sense. See, I'm an inbetweener, living on the edge of, and bridging, many diverse and different worlds, contexts, and domains. This has always given me a unique and valuable perspective on life and the world, and it's also afforded me assorted useful skills and abilities. What are diesel/liquidity pools? They're bridges between various pairs of token assets, that allows for an easy and quick exchange between them. It's pretty funny that I didn't see that before in relation to my inbetweener nature, but yeah, it's very fitting indeed that I'm so deeply fascinated by the token-bridging pools. That's pretty interesting!

My pool play, and my synergistic asset-leveraging and investing in general, is a very engaging and fun game for me, and one that just so happens to provide huge benefits, both for myself and others, which makes it very meaningful too. I've mentioned and talked about my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine quite a lot over the years, and recently I've been fleshing things out further with my 10 Pillars of Hive Active and Passive Income, which I may indeed make into a newcomer investment guide fairly soon. It would probably benefit everyone to some degree, however, since even many long-time Hivers aren't often aware of some of the asset-leveraging and investing opportunities available to them.

I'm still considering my best options to boost my HP sufficiently, at some point within the next 7 months, to be able to achieve my year-end goal of 15,000 Hive Power. So far I don't have one single thing that could do it alone, but there are a few different batches of assets, that I'm growing on various blockchains and platforms, that may make it possible if used together. A notable one is Qortal, where I've been growing my QORT holding steadily from the minting node running on my laptop. Thankfully Qortal has an internal decentralized market, where I could sell my QORT for LTC, and then send that directly to Hive. Between my present QORT holding, added go what I'm projected to make the rest of this year, it would give me a little over 1,000 HIVE. That's about half of what I'd need, so I'll probably need to make use of my PKOIN on Bastyon too, as well as the BTC and LTC that I've been growing on various sites. I have 7 months to pull something together.

My last batch of 100+ SPS that I had staked in Splinterlands is scheduled to unstake tomorrow morning, and as soon as it does, I'll send it to Hive Engine, to then swap half of it into DEC, and then use that to add the rest of the SPS into the DEC:SPS pool. I'm really hoping that this will boost be past the pool-fee payout threshold. The DEC:SPS pool is such a high-liquidity pool, that I have my doubts, but we shall see.

There are certain pools which have been catching my eye with how profitable they are, and some with asset pairs that I wouldn't have expected. I'll talk more about those as I get more data and clarity, but there are some great ones indeed. OK, I'll mention one, STARBITS:SWAP.HIVE. I'm astounded at how quickly my assets in that pool are growing, and I'm pretty sure that y'all would dig it too, so yeah, give it a try.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then some sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. Once I was well sunned, I finished up a round of session laundry (sheets and pillow cases for my massage table) that I had started earlier, and then I buzzed my head and face, since I was looking a bit too much like a wild jungle man. With those done, I chopped and dumped two wheelbarrows full of bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I tidied up the area a bit. While I didn't spend too much time there, I also checked in on my nursery, giving a few dry plants a drink. When I was finished with that, I took a short walk down our jungle road, taking a few photos as I went. After my walk, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished everything by a little after 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed a little after 12AM. I woke up a bit after 6:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 157th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 9,800 HP Surpassed, 9,900 HP This Week, and Deeper into the Pools, and to begin writing this post right afterward. It's now just after 1:30PM, so a great 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 on photography first, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
