I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1112 - 10,600 HP This Week, and My Hive Investments Are Going to a New Level Soon! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, August 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I forgot to mention it at the beginning of the week, but with my last HPUD powerup the week before, and the 80+ HP that I gained last week, I should reach 10,600 Hive Power before the end of this week. I achieved 10,500 HP last week, with the boost from my HPUD powerup, and this will be the first time that I'll be gaining 100 HP from one week to the next outside of an HPUD week, which is quite notable. I'm definitely noticing an uptick in my HP growth, which is pretty nifty I must say!

My Hive Power is going to get another big boost before the end of the year, with the $600 in fiat dollars that I'll be investing shortly, and growing in the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC pool until I need it for my powerup. Keeping this amount of liquidity in that pool for 3 months will be an asset boost before I use it for my HP boost, which will give my powerup all the more bang for the investment.

With this new strategy of making large periodic fiat investments into Hive, $500-600 every 3 months or so, then using that capital to add to an array of diesel/liquidity pools, one at a time, that leverage significant off-chain assets against important Hive assets, I have the feeling that my Hive investing, and my crypto investing in general, is going to a whole new level quite soon, and with it the amount of assets and income that I'll be generating. This is extremely exciting, because these large investments into pools that leverage notable assets so well are going to hugely increase my investment resources and liquidity, and I'm pretty sure that my investments in diesel/liquidity pools will soon eclipse those of the layer-2 tokens in my wallet, and probably even my assets in layer 1.

In the long term I do intend to keep my asset spread across the various Hive investment domains as balanced and evenly distributed as possible, but the potential gains from large strategic injections of assets into assorted off-chain-leveraging pools are so great that I certainly can't ignore them. It's a way to turn thousands of dollars in value into tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in value. It's all about proper and sufficient leverage, my friends.

The expression 'the more we have, the faster it grows' describes diesel/liquidity pools perfectly well indeed, and with these upcoming large focused fiat investments into various excellent ones that leverage off-chain against Hive assets, I intend to make full use of this magical principle of compounding interest and exponential growth. Investment seeds of $500-600 will grow very well in the fertile soil of well-chosen diesel/liquidity pools, and I can't wait!

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started on time, and we finished up by just before 6:30PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to make myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, with mixed mustards), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot, plus I wasn't able to catch up fully for the last two nights, so for a third night in a row I wasn't able to catch up once again, before I had to stop a bit after 11:30PM, to do some asset management, a quick scan of my X feed, and then to go to bed just after 12AM. I woke up at 6AM, having slept fairly 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. I had to pause that for an hour to go attend the Thursday community heartshare meeting, from which I left early to get back to the Flow House to continue writing this post. It's now just before 1PM, so a really good 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 in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
