I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #976 - HPUD Today, and Investment Decisions - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, March 30, 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy (early) April HPUD, y'all! While it's not HPUD just yet, it begins in a few hours (at 2PM my time), so it's very close, and I'm ready! I've had an increased income of HIVE over the last month, so this time around I'll be powering up 52+ HIVE, to celebrate this wondeful Hive tradition, and to invest more deeply in our beloved Blockchain. My powerup today should give me the boost that I need to reach 9,300 HP by the end of the week, which would be quite nifty indeed.

Aside from my monthly HPUD powerups and increasing income tokens, I haven't focused on growing my Hive Power at all since my last major powerup, my mega-powerup to dolphin level the December before last, which is quite a long time ago, so this definitely needs attention soon, especially if I have any hopes of reaching my 2025 goal of 15,000 HP. My HP increases at a pretty good rate, but it needs to grow a lot faster!

My HBD in Savings has also been growing fairly quickly, so I may reach my 2025 goal for that asset without doing anything differently, though like HP, it needs to grow a whole lot faster, which means that it also requires some attention. One of the investment opportunities that I've been exploring, the AI-bot trading of HIVE and HBD via Hive.Trading, may indeed be a means of growing both of those assets to quite respectable levels over the course of the year, especially if I withdraw my good chunk of HBD from Savings to add to the (presently small) trading pool, which I'm strongly considering doing. If it works as intended, I should have a very nice chunk of HIVE and HBD by the end of the year. The HIVE would be powered up, and depending on whether the profit from the AI-bot trading exceeds the usual 15% interest if the HBD were in Savings, I may just keep it in the trading pool.

I'm still eyeing the cheap XV tokens up for sale on the market, and with fewer than 9 weeks until that investment project wraps up, as well as the projected profits being quite notable, I'm giving this more focus. I'm determined to come up with the liquidty to buy at least a handful more while the price is so good. Nine weeks will go by in a flash, and Hive's fiat price is likely to hover around the same range during that time, so this seems like a pretty solid investment, which when it's wrapped up will very likely provide at least a three-fold gain. That would certainly come in handy!

As this year progresses I'm going to continue exploring and experimenting with different investment opportunities, and as I find those that offer solid leverage, I'll focus more resources on them. All I can say is that this year is going to be one of immense asset growth for me on Hive, and everything that I'm doing on my own account, I'm beginning to implement in the Alive Tribe as well. Massive asset growth, that's the goal!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, around 1:30PM, starting first with some photography for these posts. When I was satisfied with my shots, I changed a damaged ethernet head, on a long ethernet cable, for Soozi, which I finished quite quickly. With that task accomplished successfully, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food, and after a shower and a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, I went to work in my newly-reclaimed nursery behind the Landing again, repotting and up-potting plants in need. The nursery is looking pretty good, but it's getting a bit full already. After working in my nursery, I cleaned up, made myself some spiced and seasoned popcorn in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I returned to the Flow House, to jump into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 12AM, and after some asset management, I went to bed just after 12:30AM. I woke up a little after 7AM, after having slept well, doing more asset management, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 148th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 3/3 Weekly Goals Smashed, 9,200 HP Surpassed, and Two Investment Possibilities!, and then to begin immediately on this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to first do some photography for these posts, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my HPUD post later today, and the next version of this post tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
