I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1110 - A Long-Term Hive Investment Plan Coming into Focus - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, August 11, 2025

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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Over the past few days I've been receiving clarity about a new long-term investment plan in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, and one that strongly leverages various off-chain cryto assets against significant Hive assets. I've been talking a bit about this already in these posts over the past few days, wherein I'll soon be making a new $600 fiat investment into Hive, that I should receive in my wallet on Sunday, August 24th as SWAP.LTC, of which I'll immediately swap half for SWAP.HIVE, then put all of it in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC diesel/liquidity pool to earn pool fees for a little over 3 months, before removing it to liquidate and convert to HIVE to do my second mega-powerup near the end of the year.

This idea to leverage off-chain crypto assets against important Hive assets is coming at me from two directions. One, I know that crypto is on the edge of utterly unprecedented and momentous growth and increases in value, so leveraging some of these off-chain assets against notable Hive assets just makes sense, since I'll win no matter which side of an asset pair does well. I'll focus on the main high-volume assets such as BTC, BCH, DOGE, ETH, and SOL, paired with primary Hive assets like SWAP.HIVE, SWAP.HBD, and BEE. I'll also give focus to pools that pair some of these off-chain assets with each other, like SWAP.BTC:SWAP.LTC.

The second place from which this idea is coming to me stems from the fact that that the centralized exchange Probit has delisted BLURT, which means that Hive Engine is now the only place to buy, sell, or swap BLURT. On Hive Engine, SWAP.BLURT has been one of the most highly-traded asset, with a huge swap/trade volume, and that was before the Probit delisting, so I forsee a whole lot more people using the SWAP.BLURT diesel/liquidity pools. I was already intending to add assets to as many of the SWAP.BLURT pools as possible, but this just makes it even clearer to me that this is a very good idea indeed.

I'll be (and I have have been) using the liquid BLURT that I earn on Blurt to add to the SWAP.BLURT pools, and while this is not a quick process, I'll just keep adding one pool at a time, since the assets in them grow quite quickly, so once I get each one to a reasonable level of liquidity, around 1,000 SWAP.BLURT, then I can move on to adding a new pool. Adding assets to the non-BLURT off-chain-leveraging pools will be funded by periodic fiat-dollar investments, and a good chunk at a time, for the maximum possible leverage. I do also intend to keep using fiat investments to boost my HP from time to time as well, of course.

I have a strong feeling that investing in this way, with a strong focus on liquidity pools that pair and leverage significant off-chain crypto assets with important Hive assets, is likely going to be very profitable. If this does indeed turn out to be the case, then I'll end up with a whole lot more investment liquidity, which I'll continue to reinvest back into Hive. I'm a little scared about when the VSC diesel/liquidity pools come online, because they will open a whole new domain of leveraging off-chain crypto assets with Hive assets, in this case HBD, of which I'm going to need a lot!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little before 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. When I had that done to my satisfaction, I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I tidied the area a bit. When I had that done, I collected more coconut meat and coconut water from a bunch of young coconuts, to prepare a new batch of medium to ferment another round of kefir. Once I finally had kefir done, I made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, with mixed mustards) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back to the Flow House to get an early start on my Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had to pause that for about an hour and a half to go attend the Monday community logistics meeting, after which I returned immediately to the Flow House to get back to Hive. I wasn't able go get fully caught up last night, before I had to stop a bit after 11:30PM, to do some asset management, give a quick scan to my X feed, and then go to bed just after 12AM. I woke up just before 6AM, 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 before 11:15AM, so a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later on the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, straining and blending kefir, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
