I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1081 - 10,300 HP This Week, and BTC Passes $122,000 - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 13, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

If last week's trend continues, I should pass the threshold of 10,300 Hive Power before the end of the week. My HP growth is continuing to accelerate, with me gaining over 60 HP last week, which is the highest amount yet, outside of HPUD weeks. I remember when it was around 30, 40, and 50 HP per week, so the sustained increase is very welcome indeed.

So many Hive investments are based on compounding interest and exponential growth, Hive Power, HBD in Savings, diesel/liquidity pools, and layer-1 and layer-2 curation rewards, to name a few, so the more we have of any particular asset, the faster it grows. That's a beautiful principle, and one that makes for a very exciting investment framework, which I've been exploring, and of which I've been taking full advantage, pretty much as soon as I arrived on the Blockchain almost 4 years ago.

Many of you already noticed BTC exceeding its new all-time high at more than $122,000 in fiat-dollar value, and with it many Hive assets following suit and rising in fiat value once again as well. One of the excellent things about when the crypto market rises like this is that it gives Hive assets more leverage, with their increased value, which allows us to grow our assorted assets even more quickly, if we are aware of the available opportunities, and know what we're doing to best take advantage of them. That's why I'm always trying to share whatever useful investment information that I find, because there are ample solid investment opportunities on Hive, but so many people just don't know about them yet.

Bitcoin will very probably cross one million dollars in fiat-dollar value at some point, in its meandering, up and down path, with the whole cryptosphere poised for a massive, unprecedented increase in fiat-value, and mind-boggling growth. Crypto adoption is here, with ever-more people realizing and understanding that self-custodial crypto assets are far better than bank/state-owned fiat currencies.

It's also pretty amazing that we can leverage off-chain crypto assets, like BTC, ETH, LTC, and the like, against innumerable Hive assets, and against each other, on Hive Engine (and soon on VSC), and I'm beginning to do that more all the time myself. As BTC, and the crypto market, continue their upward spiral, I'll just keep stacking, leveraging, and growing my diverse assets as best I can, on my quest for inexhaustible liquidity.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my assorted Hive tasks, a little before 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my lasts, and to some sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. Once I felt well sunned, I did a load of session laundry (mostly sheets and pillow cases), along with a few other smaller tasks, before heading to the Landing, to collect some leftover food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House, to ease into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I was able to get through everything by just before 10PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed about 11:30PM. I woke up quite late, around 8AM, having thankfully 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 1PM, so an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, straining and blending kefir, and then 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
