I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1086 - Blockchain, Crypto, and Web3 Are Reaching Critical Mass! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, July 18, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

A multitude of indicators are signaling to me that, among other extremely significant events, blockchain technology, crypto/cryptocurrencies, and Web3 frameworks are on the very edge of truly mind-blowing and unprecedented growth and mass adoption. It would seem indeed that crtital mass is being reached as we speak, with a mega-leap quickly approaching. I knew that this time would come, which is why I've been so intensely focused on building, growing, and leveraging my assets here on Hive as much, and as quickly, as possible, before the tsunami arrives, because Hive is an important epicenter for this shift. I'm doing the same thing on Blurt, Qortal, Bastyon, among community-driven blockchains, because to me, they are other epicenters for this massive technological, financial, and social transformation that is unfolding.

It's little wonder, and no real surprise, why so many people are now flocking to decentralized blockchain, crypto, and web3 frameworks, because at the basic level, they give people back their power, freedom, and the control of their content, information, and assets, which once people experience for themselves, there's just no going back. They allow people to take part in parallel economies, that then makes it possible for them to begin to surmount their local (usually engineered) economic conditions, which is very useful indeed in these times.

Truly colossal investments will very soon be focused on the crypto market, and with it we will see utterly incredible rises in crypto asset values. Even aside from the fiat values, crypto assets will be seen as inherently valuable in and of themselves, and with how quickly that development on many blockchains is presently underway to create easy, quick, efficient, and effective cross/multi-blockchain interconnection and interoperability, and how quickly being able to use crypto assets to purchase real world goods and services is spreading in countries around the world, crypto will be on par with, or even exceed, the usefulness of fiat assets.

VSC (Virtual Smart Chain) will be a revolutionary game-changer, not only for Hive, but the whole cryptosphere, which will allow any crypto asset associated with any blockchain or wallet, to be sent in native-form, to any other wallet associated with any other blockchain. There will also be many new investment opportunities, and ways to leverage assets, both Hive/Hive-Engine and off-chain assets, against each other, including diesel/liquidity pools. Crypto investing on Hive is really just getting started, and is a shadow of what it will soon be.

Because the most significant decentralized blockchain, crypto, and web3 frameworks are community-driven, and are made up of many different people with diverse perspectives, desires, and intentions, there are and will be conflicts, as well as bad actors, who intend to cause harm, for their own nefarious reasons. These are issues and important growth edges for both Hive, and for the entire blockchain-crypto-web3 space, where individual autonomy of choice, is balanced with community good, in an effective way. As such, these community-based frameworks can sometimes be a bit like the Wild West, yet even with those challenges, they are still far preferable in every respect to the controlled web2 world. Like pioneers in a new land, we need determination, tencity, focus, adaptability, flexibility, and versatility to continue forward despite obstacles and challenges, in this new, brilliant, and sometimes chaotic, technological-financial-social framework of interacting with each other. I know I'm all-in, how about you?

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, a little sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, and then straining and blending kefir in the Landing. Once I had that done, I went to work in my nursery behind the Landing for a while, weeding and up-potting plants in need. Once I finished there, I did a quick chop-and-dump of bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, as well as a bit of tidying the area. After finishing that, I stopped by the Landing to collect some leftover food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, from the fridge, and with those in hand(s), I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just before 12AM. I woke up rather late, near 8:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so a very 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, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my #BPUD post later this evening, or early tomorrow morning, and the next incarnation of theses posts tomorrow afternoon! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
