I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1100 - The Hive Investing Juggling Act - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, August 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

One of the great challenges for a synergistic asset-leveraging investor like me in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is not in finding good opportunities, but rather the fact that there are so many diverse and different investment opportunities, across several domains, that it is rather overwhelming, especially with limited investment liquidity. It's been a careful and strategic balancing act for me over the past almost 4 years, as I've done my best to leverage my available assets in the most efficient and effective manner possible at any particular time.

The present abundance, complexity, and diversity of investment opportunities on Hive are still unmatched by any other blockchain ecosystem, or any other framework in the crypto market, and that promises to be taken to another level entirely with the coming of VSC (Virtual Smart Chain), which will open up blockchain-agnostic, native-asset transfers and leveraging for a cornucopia of on and off-chain crypto assets. I imagine the soon-to-be VSC diesel/liquidity pools, all of which will have HBD as one of the token pair, will indeed be very significant, and will draw a great deal of investment capital from outside Hive. I'm working to prepare myself as best I can for that, with the notable challenge of finding a way to generate sufficient HBD to add to the future pools, while at the same time keeping my HBD in Savings growing at a good pace.

My investment juggling is one of alternating strategic focus, that has allowed me maintain a more-or-less balanced growth across the various Hive investment domains, which is no small feat, I can assure you. I have a plethora of investment seeds, that I carefully and judiciously tend, planted all over the Ecosystem, most of which are doing quite well, though the numbers are still pretty small. I just need a whole lot more investment liquidity to boost them into solidly profitable ranges.

Thankfully many of these kaleidoscopic Hive investments are not isolated from each other, with one often feeding others, creating a greater synergy. That's the ideal dynamic, and one that I do my best to implement as much as possible, as it accelerates growth all around.

I know that compounding interest and exponential growth are my friends, and they give me the patience necessary to tend my many small investment seedlings daily, because I also know that they won't stay small for long. Small investment seeds can indeed grow into large investment fruit, if tended properly.

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, and we got done by a little after 6PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to collect some leftover food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed straight back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done last night by a bit after 11:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed, way too late again, around 12:45AM. I woke up quite late, close to 8:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management (despite Hive-Engine node issues), going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1PM, so it's a glorious time to wrap this up, 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, straining and blending kefir, then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
