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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As of today, I've been on this badass, bodacious Blockchain for 2 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, and 2 day, and in that time I have been very active indeed. I've also been branching out and exploring other open-source, decentralized, community-based, web3, social blockchain ecosystems, like Qortal and DeSo, or as the case with Bastyon, becoming active once again (I was on Bastyon before Hive). There are beautiful and amazing things about all of these Allied Blockchain Nations that I deeply appreciate, and I think that everyone should indeed create accounts and explore them for yourselves. Each of them does certain things really well, and from my experience with them all up to this point, I can say that for our beloved Hive Blockchain, the financial and investment aspects are second to none, with truly incredible, and very numerous, opportunities to generate income. Because of that, Hive is still the best investment I've ever made, by far.

I'm still new on DeSo, and as such I'm still learning the ins and outs of how it functions. It seems to have wider attention and more capital invested, and I definitely see that there are ways to create income there, but so far Hive still seems better in this regard to me. On DeSo you, or others, can buy and invest in the CreatorCoin connected with your account, which is an intriguing way to gauge the reputation and value of an account. DeSo also does seem to have its own version of an internal DEX (Decentralized Exchange), which is very cool see. I'll share more about DeSo as I continue to learn about it.

Qortal is a truly incredible project that everyone on earth should support, as it's an entire self-contained sovereignty-driven framework and ecosystem, built from the ground up, that aims to replace the legacy internet. Qortal does have an internal DEX as well, though the number of coins available to trade are still rather limited, though there are plans to add more over time. I'm deeply impressed with what has been accomplished in Qortal, and I support it wholeheartedly.

Bastyon, is where I was active before I discovered Hive, and also where I made the assets that I used to do my massive powerup to dolphin 🐬 level on the December 1st #HPUD. While I very much appreciate Bastyon, it's the only one in the bunch that I can't really call an 'ecosystem', as there are presently no other frontends for it, and it also does not have an internal DEX, so while it is great, and I do support it, it is also much more limited in scope than Hive, Qortal, or DeSo.

Although I absolutely do deeply appreciate and support all of these Sovereignty-Driven Social Blockchains, I can say without a doubt that in terms of the potential to generate income, and create sustainable and ever-growing income over time, nothing can yet compare to what Hive offers in that regard. As such, the vast majority of my assets will remain within the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, where I'm able to continue to build and grow them. As I've said, I do this for myself, for everyone else on Hive, and even for these other blockchains as well, because at some point what I've built and grown on Hive will allow me to fund development of these other blockchain ecosystems, too. Until then I shall continue building, growing, and saving, and teaching others how to do the same.

I left the Flow House yesterday, Wednesday, a little after 2:30PM, putting my focus first on taking photos for this post. I also had to delete a bunch of older photos, to make room on my phone to he able to take more. After I finished with photos, I was enlisted to help Ano and Toad (a fellow who stayed here a few years ago, and who is staying again for a week) to cut up and remove a large ohia (endemic Hawaiian tree) that had fallen on the corner of the Landing. Given how dense and heavy ohia wood is, it's actually quite a miracle that it did not completely destroy one side of the Landing. Amazingly there was little to no damage at all. It took us a few hours to cut it into sections that we could manage, and then to get them completely off the tarp roof, but we were thankfully successful, and without damaging the Landind or injuring ourselves.

While I had intended to work in my nursery again, that didn't happen due to the emergency tree removal. After finishing with the tree, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself food, then I headed back to the Flow House to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications. I got everything done just before 11PM, then I did a quick round of token management, scanned my X feed, and I finally went to bed just before 12AM. Super thankfully I did sleep well (after three days of not sleeping well), waking up just around 7:30AM, doing another quick round of token management, then getting out of bed just after 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I attended the community NVC meeting this morning, until I had to check out just after 11AM to write this post. It's almost 1:45PM now, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first finish taking photos for tomorrow's iteration of this post, then 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, DeSo, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
