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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Layer-2 projects and tokens are very much not the same when it comes to how they're managed and run, as we've all seen very clearly many time over, with many, or even most, leaving much to be desired in terms of consistency, dependability, reliability, and trustworthiness over time. It's precisely for this reason that as Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) and I build our decentralized community 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy and financial system, we're taking a good deal of care to ensure that we're doing so with the most solid components possible.

For Hive-based assets, we're focusing on those that are either intrinsic and essential to the functioning of different parts of the Hive Ecosystem, like BEE and WORKERBEE, or those that are run and managed by people and projects that we follow closely, know, and trust. This is also how we build an even larger mutually-beneficial, multi-community, and multi-project system of shared abunance and support, by investing in each other's projects, communities, and tokens, and by collaborating for the good of all involved.

There's quite a good array of layer-2 community and income tokens that are either focuses for investment now, or they will be soon, such as BBH/BBHM/BBHO, DAB/DBOND/RUG, CCC, CENT/TRADE/TRIBE, DUO, EDSI/EDSMM/SPI, HASHSCHORE, HELIOS, HSBIDAO, LIMITLESS, PAKX, PEPE, PIMP, PIZZA, SLOTHBUZZ, SPS/DEC, STARBITS/STARPRO, TOOFUCKEH (and associated tokens), UNICOIN/GLITTER, among others. Investments in these assets are presently in the form of market purchases, as well as swapping for, and adding these assets into their respective diesel/liquidity pools, which supports the tokens' market prices and stability, along with the tokens' liquidity.

Buiiding and growing bonds of solid trust, friendship, mutual support, and collaboration with allied people and projects is just as important as building and growing assets and income streams, because in truth they're two sides of the same investment coin. For our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy to thrive, the individual project-and-token components that we incorporate into it also must be doing well, otherwise it creates a weak point in our system, which can't sustain itself long term. Every part of our financial system must be as solid as possible.

The We Are Alive Tribe may be a modest ecomomic power on Hive at the moment, but I can assure you that this will not be the case for very much longer, as Ben and I are going full-steam ahead with our determined and focused investments into our community financial infrastructure, and we're progressing quite quickly. Both of us are very curious indeed where we'll be in this regard a year from now. We've got things growing pretty quickly now, and they're going faster all the time, so I'd say that this is going to be quite an interesting year for the We Are Alive Tribe indeed!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I brought two empty propane tanks down to Tutu's from the Landing, and I brought one full tank back from Tutu's to the Landing. After finishing with that small task, I went on a banana hunt across the property, in search of harvestable bananas (I found one rack). When it began raining again, I devoted some time to taking the books in the Landing off their shelves, and packing them into boxes, in preparation for the Landing to be rebuilt. Once I got as far as I could with that for the day, I made myself some food (a mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin with my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by a bit after 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by about 12AM. I woke up just before 7AM, 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 1:3pPM, so it's quite a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend 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 assisting my friend Lea with transferring data from her old phone to her new one, and 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
