I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1196 - My 'We Are Alive Tribe' Liquidity-Pool Plans - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, November 5, 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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Our new ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE liquidity pool is going very well indeed, with high swapping/trading volume (which means higher earned pool fees), and although we still need a lot more liquidity providers (hint, hint), what I'm seeing shows me that creating this pool was needed, and that it was a very good decision indeed. As I've been mentioning, this new pool is one of several more to come, to help increase ALIVE's usefulness, by creating advantages direct bridges to various significant off-chain crypto assets, such as BLURT, BTC, LTC, ETH, SOL, and BCH to name half a dozen.

Given that creating new diesel/liquidity pools is expensive, 1,000 BEE for each one, and that most layer-2 tokens fail with the projects that originated them, my main focus moving forward in my pool-creating endeavor is to pair ALIVE with assets that have more durability and long-term use and value, like the above-mentioned off-chain crypto assets. There are several projects on Hive that I love, but due to the unpredictability of the majority of layer-2 projects and tokens, I won't be spending precious BEE on creating liquidity pools for any layer-2 community tokens, at least for now. However, if other projects want to create pools to pair their tokens with ALIVE, that would indeed be mutually-advantageous, and very welcome.

As soon as I get the liquidity rewards reactivated for the ALIVE:ALIVEM pool (yes, @iamraincrystal, it's coming very soon!), most of our incoming BEE will go to creating new, useful pool. After our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool, next up, in their order of priority, are ALIVE:SWAP.BLURT, ALIVE:SWAP.BTC, ALIVE:SWAP.LTC, ALIVE:SWAP.ETH, ALIVE:SWAP.SOL, ALIVE:SWAP.DOGE, and ALIVE:SWAP.BCH. That's going to take a whole lot of BEE, 7,000 to be precise, so this will be accomplished in stages over time.

One of the benefits to pairing ALIVE with these off-chain crypto assets, is that people will be able to grow these assets in our pools, while also supporting our token economy. Another benefit is that this gives a direct avenue to our token for people who are investing external crypto investments into Hive, so they would easily be able to acquire our token, and they'll be generating high pool fees for our liquidity providers from their swaps, which equals a constantly-growing holding of these assets for those that keep liquidity in these pools.

After paring ALIVE with significant off-chain crypto assets, next on the list would be to pair it with very important Hive assets that are directly connected with the functionality of Hive and Hive Engine, like ALIVE:BEE, ALIVE:WORKERBEE, ALIVE.SWAP.HBD (this one may need to be in the higher-priority list), or even ALIVE:BXT. ALIVE is becoming an increasingly solid token and investment, so I want to pair it with other solid assets, which directly increases its usefulness to our investors. Obviously activating and adding liquidity rewards to such an army of pools would be very challenging indeed, so until we have a significantly higher inccome, I would need to focus on only a few pools for liquidity rewards initially. I'm turning ALIVE into the layer-2 token that I've always wanted, and in which I've always wanted to invest, and all of you will very hopefully reap the benefits of that.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, a bit behind schedule, around 2:15PM, and given the time, I headed straight over to my friend Lea's property to assist her with a repair, or rather an excavation. We'd been rescheduling it for 2 weeks, so I wanted to make sure that it happened yesterday. Out here, there are no sewage systems, so people's drains (except humanure) empty right into the ground, usually just under the surface. One of Lea's such pipes, which drains from her kitchen sink and her washing machine, had gotten clogged, with gray water overflowing right next to her house, creating an aweful smell. Our task was to locate the end of the pipe, clear the obstruction, then excavate around it, to make future such cleanings much easier. After a couple hours, our task was successful, much to Lea's happiness. After showers, Lea made us dinner, and we shared a lovely evening of conversation, before I finally returned to GaiaYoga just after 6PM. I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, and then I headed straight to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks. I got everything done by just before 10PM once again, and after some asset management, and uploading a couple more PDF books to Qortal, I went to bed just after 11PM. I woke up quite early, by just before 5AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11:30AM, so it's a glorious time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
