I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1042 - Diesel/Liquidity Pools Are Exceedingly Mutually Beneficial! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, June 4, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Continuing with my diesel-pool tangent that I've been following in these posts as of late, today I want to talk about why diesel/liquidity pools are so very useful, mutually beneficial, and strengthening for the whole Hive Ecosystem (and beyond). I got into liquidity pools from the investment and asset-leveraging standpoint, as they were an excellent way to generate income and grow assets. As I've gone deeper into the idea of liquidity pools, however, and added assets to more and more pools, my perspective on them has shifted and expanded, and I've come to see and appreciate just how very important they really are.

Liquidity pools are bridges, and points of exchange, between different pairs of tokens, and as such they both help stabilize the price of the paired tokens between each other, and between other tokens with which they're paired in other pools. The more tokens intersecting across more pools, the better. This helps stabilize the entire Hive internal crypto market. This extends to the greater crypto market as well with cross-chain pools, as well as to the SWAP representatives that are pegged to various off-chain crypto assets which are part of liquidity-pool pairs on Hive (Hive Engine). It's a very interconnected system.

Because diesel/liquidity pools are so important, adding, maintaining, and growing liquidity in them is a great service, and since this service is rewarded (in daily pool rewards and/or pool fees), they're also fantastic investment opportunities, so it's a very win-win, mutually-beneficial dynamic. So few people are aware, or make use of liquidity pools, and yet everyone should, as they're a way to both grow our assets and income, and to strengthen our whole Blockchain Ecosystem.

This more whole, integral perspective on liquidity pools only increases my interest, and makes me more determined to go as deeply into as many of them as I can, for the Maximum Mutual Benefit of all of us. My assets in diesel/liquidity pools presently have a fiat-dollar value of almost $500, and yet this is just the beginning. I'm adding and testing new pools all the time, and increasing the depth of liquidity in the multitudinous pools where I already have assets. Pool whale, here I come!

From an investment perspective, diesel pools are like savings accounts that pay dividends in daily liquidity rewards and/or pool fees, where our assets grow over time, and from which they can be withdrawn at any time, immediately, to utilize however we like, with the returns being far better than conventional fiat savings accounts. That's a pretty sweet deal to me, and they're really good for our token economy to boot! Brilliant!

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks nice and early, I prepared for a session that was scheduled at 1:30PM, and since I got everything done so early, I was able to fit in some photography for my posts, and even some sunbathing, before it began. The session ended around 5:15PM, after whch I headed to the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then back to the Flow House to start on my evening Hive tasks. For the second day in a row I was feeling off balance, with a headache developing as the night progresseed. Thankfully I was able to finish everything on Hive, including getting my Shadow Hunters Contest post ready to write in the morning, and asset management, by a little after 10PM, and I was in bed by just after 10:30PM. The headache was quite intense for the first part of the night, then after some good sleep, it finally went away. I woke up just a bit after 7AM, having slept well and feeling better, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee on the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 376 - Mamey Sapote Shadows, and then starting on this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a very 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 later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of these posts! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
