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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The vast majority of my daily online focus goes to open-source, decentralized, community-based, sovereignty-driven, web3, social blockchain ecosystems, like our beloved Hive, as well as Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon, and for many very good reasons. Although I have accounts on innumerable alternative social media websites, the only conventional mainstream social media that I use with any regularity is X, and that is mostly because Elon now heads it (so information is no longer censored and manipulated), and to share my Hive posts.

Why am I so passionate and focused on such sovereignty-driven technology, such as Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon?

There exist a wide array of solid reasons that make it essential me. What are these reasons you might ask?

1.) No one individual can control them or has the ultimate say as to what happens.

Since these blockchains are open source and community created, developed, run, and governed, they cannot be controlled, taken over, or used as a tool of manipulation and exploitation, unlike the vast majority of mainstream social media sites. That in and of itself is huge.

2.) We the People own our data and our monitary assets.

This is completely opposite from how it is on most social media sites, where what we publish is owned by the corporations that run the websites. Not only don't we own what we publish, but those websites monetize our content for their own benefit, not ours.

Given that we own our cryptographic keys on blockchains like Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon, it also means that we own our money. Our assets cannot be taken from us, and we can use them however we want. Period.

3.) Information cannot be censored or manipulated.

On blockchains like Hive, Qortal, DeSo, as Bastyon, information we or others share cannot be scrubbed, censrored, hidden, or deleted. It is possible for certain frontends to hide it, however, which is why it is also essential to know who is developing the frontends that we use.

4.) On sovereignty-driven blockchains, we have complete autonomy, self-determination, and self-responsibility.

In such free and open environments, it's up to us to create what we want, and to choose the direction and flow that best suits us. If something doesn't yet exist, we can birth it into actuality, either alone or in collaboration with others.

5.) The value of assets on sovereignty-driven blockchains is based on our own human value.

This is in stark contrast to all fiat currencies in the world, which are tools of enslavement based on debt. This is also why assets on blockchains like Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon, are inherently and intrinsically more valuable than any fiat currency. As such, evaluating such assets in terms of fiat currencies is basically meaningless.

In all four of these blockchain ecosystems I promote the other three. I do this because I want to create a cross-blockchain community of people active, building, growing, and saving, on all of them. This dramatically increases the probability of creating cross-blockchain synergy, and greater friendship, camaraderie, good will, interconnection, interoperability, cooperation, and collaboration between these potential Allied Blockchain Nations.

I left the Flow House yesterday, Thursday, just after 3PM, after finishing up my essential Hive tasks. Thankfully it was a lovely, warm, and sunny day, so taking photos for this post was quite easy and quick, as beauty was everywhere. Once I had photo taking finished, I grabbed my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. With that done, I went to do another round of paid work in Ano's nursery weeding.

After work was completed for the day, I strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself some food, then I headed back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, which I was mostly able to complete just after 9PM. I spent the rest of my evening perusing, exploring, and engaging on DeSo, Qortal, Bastyon, and X. I went to bed a little after 11:30PM, and I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked (for three days in a row...doh), waking up just before 4AM, doing a round of token managent, scanning DeSo and Bastyon, then making another attempt at sleep, which was only partially successful. I finally got out of bed just after 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's been sunny and beautiful all morning, so I took advantage of the good light conditions to take photos for tomorrow's expression of this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I may get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon to focus on land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices. 

3.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again. 

4.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

5.) Continue my work with Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, Bastyon, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, as well as learn relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute. 

6.) Get regular healing sessions with women flowing again. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
