I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1199 - Building Our Own 'We Are Live Tribe' Economy, and Regardless of Circumstances, Opportunities Abound - Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, November 8, 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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

These are challenging times indeed for Hive, and Blurt too for that matter, which was just delisted from Probit, causing its price to crash notably. Now the only place to buy sell, or swap BLURT is on Hive Engine, which means that Blurt is presently very much dependent on Hive for its survival and continuation. A lot more liquidity is needed in the SWAP.BLURT pools, which I'm working to address a little at a time, as I'm able. As always, I wish that I had a whole lot more investment liquidity.

Hive and Blurt both are in rather precarious states at the moment, and many of the weak hands, and those solely into Hive and Blurt for the money and profit, are powering down and selling. Those who love and believe in these two sibling blockchains, however, are taking the opportunity to strongly increase their holding and stake of HIVE and BLURT. Opportunities to grow, gain, and profit, abound even in the bleakest of times, because there are always some benefits to any particular situation, and those who are paying attention can seize and take advantage of those opportunities that so many others miss.

What I'm working to do with ALIVE, and with the We Are Alive Tribe community, is to create our own functional and stable economy, one that thrives regardless of the larger fiat, crypto, or even Hive economic situations. This is a process that takes time, though thankfully what I've implemented so far has been going quite well, and it's my intention to keep it that way, and to continue to improve it over time.

The more that we have of a diverse array of assets, and the more that we can effectively leverage them, the more stable that our ALIVE economy, and the price of ALIVE will be. So building, leveraging, and growing I go, one step at a time. We've come a long way, but there is still so much to do.

Today is Sunday, and that means that I have my weekly asset and financial management for the We Are Alive Tribe to do shortly, which is something to which I always look forward, because it allows me to leverage our assets, and to increase our income streams, in increasingly stronger ways. ALIVE may just surpass HIVE/SWAP.HIVE in price at some point, and that's indeed my goal, step by step.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that done to my satisfaction, I felt inspired to make another batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn in the Landing, and after nibbling on that for a little while with Chelsea, I helped her to carry a wooden pallet up onto the lava, to place it next to the last one that she and Avi had brought up the day before, and then to secure them together, to make small yoga platform. Our endeavor was successful, and Chelsea was elated, which felt quite marvelous. After helping Chelsea with the platform construction, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, then I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit. While I had intended to get a little more land work done, I got into an unexpected political-economic conversation with Ano and Østein, that went on for longer than I expected, so I didn't end up getting to any other tasks. After our conversation came to and end, I went to the Landing to heat up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the same location, and with those in hand(s), I made my way back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks. I got everything done quite early again, by a little after 8PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by just after 10PM. I woke up rather late, about 7:30AM, 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 after 1:15PM, so it's a magnificent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and my Alive Tribe asset management, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, on collecting coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts to begin another round of kefir fermentation, then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
