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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
One of my important Hive tasks that I do several times per day is token management, or further leveraging and growing the assets that I have, to generate ever-greater income and growth over time. There's something about my mind that thrives on building and managing complex interlocking systems, and using the resources that I have available in such a way, leveraging them well, to expand the flow of those asset resources, that can then be fed back into the system for even more growth. That's what I've been doing on my own account, where I stared from zero, and now on the We Are Alive Tribe accounts too, that already have a good bit of resources available.
For some people, token management, and a more fine-tuned tweaking and refining of asset use, is not interesting at all, but personally I absolutely love it, and because I've put so much time into experimenting and learning how to do it well, I've actually become quite good at it. To me it's fun and satisfying to see what I'm doing directly affecting income, mine or other's, in a beneficial way.
As I've mentioned, in my token management for the Alive Tribe, my primary goal is to create a consistent, dependable, reliable, and stable daily and weekly income of HIVE, SWAP.HIVE, HBD, and various valuable and useful layer-2 tokens. Yesterday and this morning, I sold the AWESOME tokens that we still had (thankfully Erik set up a buyback), which netted us almost 100 SWAP.HIVE, which with the handful of SWAP.HIVE that was already in @aliveandthriving's wallet, I used to acquire about 40 PWR, which was then put into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR diesel/liquidity pool. There was a sizeable quantity of DHEDGE on the same account, a portion of which I swapped to DVS, and then put them both in the DVS:DHEDGE pool. I also added other available and unutitlized assets to various other useful pools as well. Erik was very efficient with his system of generating BEE tokens, with @aliveandsocial having 20,000+ BEE in its wallet, which I delegated to @bee.voter, since it pays out HIVE weekly (on Thursdays), and at quite a high rate. We are now the largest delegator, and will receive the biggest payouts.
With just those actions, the Alive Tribe will now receive around 0.068 SWAP.HIVE daily from diesel/liquidity pools, and after just under a week's time, we'll also be receiving a little over 50 HIVE each Thursday from the @bee.voter delegation. Not bad, though I still want to keep boosting the SWAP.HIVE income, which I will continue to do as I add more liquidity to the pools. The pools will also provide lots of other useful tokens that can then be added to still other good pools, to grow assets even more.
I'm applying to the Alive Tribe accounts what I've learned on my own account over the past 3.25 years, and also visa-versa, applying what I learn from my Alive Tribe token management to my own account, because I'm dealing with some new tokens, and also much larger quantities of certain tokens. From my asset-leveraging token management, both on and off-chain, I believe that it will be possible to do another major boost to my account at some point this year, which is exciting indeed. With the new income that I'm creating for the We Are Alive Tribe, I forsee major growth for several Alive Tribe accounts, and for the whole community during 2025, which is equally exciting. Yep, token management is fun, and it's about to get a whole lot more fun very soon!
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, way later than usual, just after 3PM. I wasn't able to get many photos for these posts over the last two days due to rainy weather, yesterday being the same, so I got my machete and went to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted foliage for cow-milking food with Sol instead, which had to get done anyway. When that was completed, I took a shower, made myself food in the Landing (ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and sea salt), and then I headed back to the Flow House, with food in hand, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. As every other day for more than a week now, I had a mountain of them, and as such I was not able to get through them all, before I had to stop and make myself go to sleep at 12:45AM, way too late again. I woke up at 6AM, definitely still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing some token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. Some neighbors wanted to come by to see Daisy, and to learn how to milk, which we did our best to teach, as we still focused on completing the milking task at hand. When milking was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, 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 shortly to strain kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then to prepare for Sol's session at 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate yaʻll so very much! Until my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
