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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Since the DRIP Project stopped daily SWAP.HIVE payouts for staked DRIP recently, I've been diving deeper, and investing more strongly, into diesel/liquidity pools, and I'm becoming more enthralled by the possibilities as I go. Even just with my first investment from my swapped DRIP, I've seen an excellent increase in income of both SWAP.HIVE, and various other useful and valuable token assets.
Diesel/Liquidity pools, and their incredible leveraging potential, are fascinating me more and more, and even more than income tokens, of which I'm a big fan. Because liquidity rewards from one pool can provide assets which can then be added to others, each of which provides its own liquidity rewards, it is possible to create a truly excellent system of long-term income and asset growth. Growing assets is fun, and it's about to get a whole lot more fun very soon!
I'll still be investing in income tokens, of course, just to a lesser degree, as overall, they are a lot less consistent and reliable, but still useful. With the SWAP.HIVE from my divested DRIP, I'll be acquiring more BBH, BBHM, BBHO, DUO, DVS (for the DVS:DHEDGE pool), and PWR (for the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool). I'll also get a little more HELIOS to get back into another round of AI-bot trading of HIVE-HBD on Hive.Trading.
As I've mentioned, I've been applying my experience, and what I've learned about income tokens, layer-1 and layer-2 delegations, and diesel/liquidity pools, into my token management for the We Are Alive Tribe, with quite good results so far. There's a notable increase in daily and weekly income of HIVE, SWAP.HIVE, and various token assets which are valuable in themselves, or which are useful in various diesel/liquidity pools, which allows for ever greater asset leveraging.
Another beautiful possibility is also coming into the picture for both the We Are Alive Tribe, and for the MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project (@borniet and I are core members of both), with discussion about a shared We Are Alive Tribe/MMB Project Hive witness node. This has a very strong probability of becoming a reality fairly soon. Although it's no small task, if we were able to get into the top 20, the income for both projects would increase significantly, which would allow us to build and create even more of value for the Hive community.
Yesterday, Thursday, after I finished my Hive tasks, I prepared for my session with Riana at 1:30PM. She arrived a little late, and we didn't start immediately, so the session wasn't as long as most, though it was still very useful, with Riana leaving grateful around 5PM. As soon as Riana left, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed straight back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Thankfully, I was able to get through them all by around 10PM, at which point I wrote and published My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 356 - Yellow Bamboo Shadows, I did some token management, and then I went to bed just after 12AM. I woke up about 8AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more token management, beginning on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. As soon as milking was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first take more photos for these posts, strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), collect cow food, and then walk over to Lea's place to help her with some land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of this post! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
