I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #391 - Belief in Our Blockchain - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, August 22, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, 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. 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 all in on Hive very soon after I arrived on the Blockchain 1 year and 11 months ago, when I took everything in and perceived it in its glorious wholeness. I'm on many platforms, including multiple social blockchains, my radar is always up, and I'm always exploring, and even though there are some excellent projects unfolding, to me nothing comes close yet to what Hive already has fully functional.

Two of the most interesting social-blockchain projects of which I'm aware so far are Qortal and Holochain, with Koinos also getting a solid mention. I'll also toss in Bastyon, which is where I spent a good bit of time before coming to Hive. All of these projects are amazing in their own right, and for multiple reasons, and yet Hive still comes out on top for me.

In mentioning these other social-blockchain projects, I want to say that I don't think this is a competition. I feel that we're all on the same greater open-source, community-developed, sovereignty-loving, social-blockchain team, and there can and should be mutual support, cross-pollination, and inter-operability between these (and other) blockchain projects. Barring any radical change, my main focus will always be on this Blockchain that I call home, Hive.

I love and deeply believe in Hive and I'm not on the lookout for 'the next best thing'. I see what Hive is now, and what its potential is for the future, and I'm fully committed and dedicated to doing everything I'm able to help build, grow, and develop this incredible Blockchain through time. That excites me. HIVE's fluctuating value in relation to fiat currencies is pretty much irrelevant to me, as Hive and its assets have far more intrinsic and inherent value, and at some point I know that they will become quite coveted commodities indeed. Hive is a priceless 'hidden' gem in a forest of cryptocurrency projects, and there will come a day when it is fully recognized as such. I'm grateful that I, and we, are able to see it now.

After getting Hive to a good pause-point yesterday, I left the Flow House around 4:30PM, to go work with @aukuna for a few hours, mulching the three young cinnamon trees that we had planted a few days ago, do more machete clearing, and finally to plant three young pili-pili nut trees that I had in pots in my nursery. It's very exciting to get these trees in the ground, as they're a very rare and important nut tree from the Philippines, that have just not done well in pots. @aukuna and I both felt a good deal of accomplishment and satisfaction once we had finished planting them. Next to plant are my three young nutmeg trees (that I grew from seed).

After finishing with clearing, mulching, and planting, I took a shower, then I shared a ripe chempedak with @aukuna in the Landing. Chempedak is pretty filling, and I didn't feel like making food after eating it, so I went back to the Flow House with a quart jar of my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and my little gray kitten friend (Ano's mother, Braja, kitten-sat her while I was working), in hand.

I was able to get all of my Hive catch-up and tasks done in a good time, though I stayed until just past 12AM, learning how best to use, and doing another round, on LeadsLeap. I'm still getting used to that website, and learning what I can do there.

Even though I got to bed rather late, I slept pretty well, and I woke up feeling good. I did a short round of Hive catch-up and tasks in the morning, before finally beginning on this post.

It's approaching 1PM, so it's a great time to end this post now, to get into my afternoon round of Hive catch-up and tasks, as well as to get everything ready to swap hard drives (from one Arch Linux installation to another, Arch2 to Arch3) in my laptop. I'll also clone the hard drive that I swapped out. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow morning or afternoon! Onward and upward, joyfully 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! 😁🙏💚
