I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #325 - Hive Is The Best Blockchain in the Cryptoverse! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, June 17, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've been wandering and exploring around the cryptoverse both before and after coming to Hive, as have others here, and the conclusion is that Hive is still better than anything else out there. Yes, there are other chains with cool features for sure, but none of them come close to the brilliant whole that is Hive.

WAX is also fast and has no fees for transactions, though it seems more focused on blockchain-based gaming (the vast majority of blockchain games are on WAX, with Hive in second place) and NTFs. It has more centralized governance, though. Hive is better.

Polygon has fees. Etherium has ridiculous fees, and it's far more centralized. Hive is still better.

Holochain sounds truly amazing, but it still seems to be in very early development, with not much to see yet. It's supposed to be better than blockchain technology. We'll see. Hive already has a diverse and thriving ecosystem.

I was using and loving Pocketnet/Bastyon before I came to Hive, and it was quite amazing in its own way. It has tokenized voting on posts and comments too, it is decentralized, it's open-source, it has a reputation system similar to Hive, and while its token, PKOIN, has fees, they are very low. Once I came to Hive, however, there was no going back. Hive is far more developed, and it's better in just about every respect.

The cryptoverse is huge, with innumerable blockchain projects, but in my personal experience, Hive is far ahead of anything else out there. Bar none. When I say that I love and believe in Hive, and that I'm all in for the long haul here, I mean it! We have something truly special here on Hive, and I want everyone (of good intention) to know about it!

Sun and clouds dominated the weather today here in the East Hawai'i jungle, with little rain. I was able to finish my Hive catch-up just after 2PM, which was miraculous considering how many notifications I get.

Shakira had been wanting me to make my hot sauce that I used to make often for myself and the whole community here. This is somwthing I'd been wanting to do but I kept putting it off. Today I decided to do it! I had all the ingredients too, which was amazing in itself. Shakira helped to prepare some ingredients, like the garlic head.

I added and blended all ingredients well, and tweaked the flavor balance a couple times, and then it was done! I had a little more than two quart jars of it, one of which I left down at Tutu's for the community, and one jar for me at the Landing. I used to make this hot sauce regularly, for the whole community, and people loved it. I was really happy that we made it today. Shakira and Laxanya loved it (Laxanya, who is very expressive, was almost orgasmic...😂)!

After finishing my hot sauce, I took my jar of it, and my spices, back to the Landing to put away. Aloha and Mahina had Just gotten back with their dad from the Kaimu Farmers Market, and they were very expressive about their desire to go play in the pool with me again. Thankfully it was nice and sunny for a good while, which made going in the pool more inviting.

Shakira joined us in the pool today, which was wonderful. Aloha and Mahina love her and have a great rapport with her too, so our pool time was filled with lots of fun and laugher. We stayed playing in the pool for over an hour, and we finally got out as the sun got lower in the sky and it got chillier to swim.

After playing in the pool, Shakira and I went to work in the garden until dark. We planted the rest of the cabbage, kale, and Japanese burdock in the fenced garden, then pruned one of my large tree basil/clove basil/vana tulsi - Oncimum gratissimum between the fenced garden and Ano's nursery. By that time it was getting dark fast, and we stopped when we couldn't see what we were doing any longer.

Once we were done with our garden work, I returned to the Landing go make food. Aloha and Mahina often want to help me make my food, which is super sweet and adorable. After I said good night to them and had my food ready, I returned to the Flow House to eat and do another quick round of Hive catch-up, a couple tasks, and then start writing this post.

It's now just past 12M, so I'm going to end this post now so that I can head to sleep. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
