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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Investing and growing our assets in and of itself is meaningless, unless we have a greater purpose for which we are working. Yes, doing so for the benefit of ourselves and/or our families (if we have one) is one very significant layer of meaning to this financial endeavor, absolutely, though having awareness and care for the whole system, and everyone that is a part of it, and who make it possible, is equally important.

Nowhere is this easier to appreciate and understand than in our own beloved community-driven and created Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, of which we are all an integral part, where every layer of technology, every project, and every token was put in place by our fellow blockchain brothers and sisters. What we each individually choose to do here on the Blockchain affects everyone, ourselves include, whether for good or ill.

The promise of monetary rewards may have brought many of us here initially, but it becomes apparent quite quickly that we are all inherently and intrinsically connected in this buzzing Hive of activity, and that our decision and actions have far greater effects on everyone, and the whole Ecosystem, than we may have ever thought possible. Hive has taught me about the true power, meaning, and potential of money and investing, and how it can be used for a far greater and more meaningful purpose than simply benefiting myself.

In my 3.5+ years here in this exceptional Blockchain framework I've learned and grown so very much, both in terms of understanding how everything works, how we're all truly in this together, and how what I do here really does matter. I am so incredibly grateful for Hive and the magnificent community of people that compose and create it, and for the immense amount of help and support that I've received. This is why everything that I do on the Blockchain is done with the desire and intention to assist, help, and support my fellow Hivers, and to do my best to grow and strengthen the whole framework of our Blockchain Ecosystem that we share.

This ever-deeping passion for asset leveraging and investing that I now have, and which was born here on Hive, is focused like a laser on creating Maximum Mutual Benefit for all of us. It's from this that my rock-solid commitment, dedication, unwavering consistency, and relentless tenacity for what I'm building and growing here comes. I invest and grow assets as much for everyone reading this as I do for myself, as for me there is no other way, and I can promise you all that this crypto financial empire that I'm building will indeed benefit us all greatly in time.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, very late indeed (it was Sunday, and I had no desire to rush), just before 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, and straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. Afterward, I went to Tutu's to collect some food supplies for the Landing, and then I made my way back go the Flow House, to ease my way into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Since I had gotten through a good bit of them in the morning, I was able to finish with them by just before 9PM. After some more focused asset management, mostly in the pools, and one more quick round of responding to a few more stragler notifications, I went to bed around 11PM. I woke up a bit early, around 5:30AM, and after a little asset management, I went back to bed until just before 7:30AM, at which point I got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and then back to the Flow House to write and publish My 158th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 9,900 HP Surpassed, and the Growing Importance of My Liquidity Pool Investments, and the to begin writing this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, 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 photography for my posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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.

While it's good to know that you love great !PIZZA, I can't tip you more than 0.05 PIZZA per comment (and more than 2 times per day). 🤔🍕🤯 @savvyplayer meanwhile can tip 0.05 PIZZA up to 5 times a day, though is still small. 🤯😅

I (and @savvyplayer) did not notice that the !PIZZA token tipping bot already cut its PIZZA token tips by half (from 0.1 to 0.05), which has been the case since 8 months ago according to #HiveEngineExplorer. 🤔🍕🤯🤓

The last post by the !PIZZA token tipping bot was already 4 years ago, so the change in what amount gets tipped is !INDEED really hard to notice. 🤔🤯😅
