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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Our investment in layer 1 is a demonstration of our belief in the Blockchain, and our investment in layer 2 is a demonstration of our belief in the people of the Blockchain.
That's how I've come to see my investment in Hive Power and HBD in Savings in layer 1, and my various token and project investments in layer 2. I see the value of layer-2 tokens only as good as the solidity of their teams, and what those teams do to add value to their projects and tokens. To build a solid project foundation, a base of a dependable, reliable, consistent, committed, dedicated, aligned, and passionate team is a must.
As @borniet and I go over ideas and plans, and explore possibilities to implement in the MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project, we are now deciding the various ways that we can add value to the MMB token. Our aim is to make it the bar-none most-valuable token in layer 2. That's a huge goal, it's true, though it's a task and a challenge that excites and movivates both @borniet and myself. We're quite ingenious buggers, and we've got some badass ideas, so we shall see what comes of it all!
The many parts of the MMB system will be set up and tested consecutively, as much as possible, to make sure that base functioning is working, before we try to build on top of it. We're just about to start testing on the MMB-tipping function for @mmbbot, and once we have that working stably, we can begin to add in another layer of functionality, such as tipping HIVE, SWAP.HIVE, HBD, or assorted income tokens. As I've mentioned, setting all this up goes a bit beyond available resources, which is why I created the @mmb-dontations account, as an official way to receive community donations. It is very likely that we'll decide to offer some sort of very-useful benefit to those who dondate, based on the HIVE value of what is donated, possibly MMB tokens, which will function as both a tipping and an income token. We've got lots of hashing and mathing to do to see how everything is going to work between the various components of MMB. It's good that @borniet and I both love creating elegantly-functioning complex systems.
As you've all noticed, lately I've been using these posts as a way to share some of the MMB developmental process with the community. Given that community communication is an exceedingly important part of how MMB is going to function and grow, an official MMB Discord server will likely be set up very soon for this purpose. It's very possible that MMB will be pegged to, and backed by, at least one high-value asset. We've got a lot to discuss and noodle out, but I am quite certain that the Hive community will very much like what we do implement. One step at a time.
Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little before 1:30PM, making my way to the Landing first, to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). With kefir done, I walked around a bit to take some photos for these posts, and then I went to help Melekai with putting up a fence. It didn't go according to plan, due to a large concentration of lava rocks in the areas where I needed to pound in T-posts. I got a good workout, though! I'll probably be helping with that again today. After trying to pound T-posts into the ground for a while, and digging out lava rocks, I finally peeled off to go take a shower, collect my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and head back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications, of which there were many. Even after several hours of going through them, I had to stop and make myself go to sleep, still 9 hours behind, just after 11:30PM. I woke up around 7:15AM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just before 12:45PM, so quite a good time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain and blend kefir, take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest this evening, and the next expression of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2024 Life Goals
1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do.
2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness.
3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others.
4.) Dance regularly again.
5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again.
6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.
7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.
9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth, care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships.
10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice.
11.) 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
