I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1201 - 14,500 HP Incoming, More HBD into Savings, and 'We Are Alive Tribe' News - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, November 10, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Since crossing the threshold of 14,000 HP, I've been consistently gaining around 100 HP every week, which is excellent because that's exactly what needed to happen for me to successfully achieve my 2025 goal of 15,000 Hive Power by mid December. 14,400 HP was surpassed early last week, and now, on Tuesday, I have fewer than 10 HP to go before I pass 14,500 Hive Power, which means that I should reach 14,600 by early next week.

The recently very high APR (due to the low HIVE price) for Hive Power has very definitely boosted my numbers quite a bit, so that is one positive in these challenging crypto and Hive times. I presently only have 508.68 HP to go to attain 15,000 Hive Power.

I withdrew another 2 HBD from the Pepe Game (2,000 VOLT=2 HBD) this morning, and I deposited it into Savings, taking me past 576 staked HBD. With this deposit, I now only have 23.618 HBD to go to achieve my 2025 goal of 600 HBD in Savings by mid December.

I'm still uneasily eyeing the fiat price of HIVE, because if it drops too low, below $0.08, then it could dramatically affect the value and APR for HBD. With that precarious state, I've been wondering if withdrawing it might be better, to either swap it for HIVE, which would give me close to 5,000 HIVE, and power up, or to deposit into VSC/Magi, to add into the upcoming diesel/liquidity pools (and for Resource Credits for transactions). I'm still deciding the best way to make use of it.

As many of you likely noticed, HIVE wasn't sent out in the daily ALIVE dividends yesterday, much to my chagrin. I notified Bjorn last night, though with how busy he's been he hasn't responded just yet. I'm hoping that we can get the payout issue rectified post haste. It was likely due to issues with Hive nodes, as along with their Hive-Engine counterparts, they've been under increasing attack. I also noticed that the market price of ALIVE was a bit on the low side this morning, presently 0.03946308 SWAP.HIVE, which isn't great, but it will be addressed, and it will improve, shortly. On a positive note, our recently-created ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE diesel/liquidity pool has been performing extraordinarily well, presently being at $129.297 (based on present token prices)/11,981.553 ALIVE/546.32 SWAP.HIVE in swapping/trading volume. We presently have 14 liquidity providers, that contribute $22.019 (based on present token prices)/2,197.962 ALIVE/86.738 SWAP.HIVE in liquidity, and the total amount of fees earned in the pool so far are at $0.16222 (based on present token prices)/14.806 ALIVE/0.694 SWAP.HIVE. Those are some pretty nice numbers I must say, especially for such a new pool.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, a little after 2:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and straining and blending coconut kefir. With those completed to my satisfaction, I walked around the property hunting for harvestable bananas, which I did not find, after which I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, before going to fix two gutter guards that had fallen off a section of rain-collection gutters over one of the car ports. Once that was finally done, I took a shower (cold, unfortunately), heated up some leftover food in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by just after 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed around 11:15PM. I woke up about 6AM again, 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 before 12:45PM, so it's quite a good time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other 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, on collecting coconut water and coconut meat to start another round of kefir fermentation, and then on 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
