I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #997 - 9,500 HP This Week (Hopefully) & Strategic 2025 Hive Investments - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, April 20, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Over the past two weeks I've seen a notable increase in my weekly HP growth, so much so that, while it is not guaranteed, I may indeed reach 9,500 Hive Power near the end of the week. If this trend continues, I'll be gaining 100 HP per week very soon indeed. 15,000 Hive Power by the end of the year is a formidable goal to be sure, and it will mostly likely require a bit of manual boosting to achieve, but with my recent new and deeper investments into various excellent income tokens that pay out HIVE daily or weekly, especially ARMERO, BXT, DUO, and EDSI (through doubling my HP delegation to @eds-vote), I'm accelerating the process a fair bit, which is making reaching this challenging goal ever easier, since it means that I'll have to invest less from outside to reach it.

Strategic and diversified investments and asset-leveraging, which is something which has become exceedingly fun to me, is how I've gotten to the very solid position that I now have on Hive, and how I'll far exceed that position with strong leaps moving forward, as certain investments come to fruition. One of these strategic investments is the good amount of XV tokens that I acquired (added to the far fewer that I already had) at an excellent price recently. That investment project wraps up in fewer than 6 weeks now, and while the crypto market still looks shaky (XV is a diversified basket of 15 off-chain crypto assets), the returns are still looking quite good.

My experimentation with AI-bot trading (HIVE-HBD), via Hive.Trading, over the past few months leads directly into the next strategic investment that I'll be making in a just over a month, when the last of four AI-bot profiles that I'm testing completes its month-long run. When the bot-trading profile completes just before the middle of next month, and just after I claim my last bit of interest from my HBD in Savings in just over a month, I'll be withdrawing my nice chunk of HBD from Savings, to then add it to my AI-bot trading pool, for a 6-month long run with the most-effective bot-trading profile. Based on my experiences with one of the profiles, there is a strong potential for some really good growth of my assets during the time that it runs. I can't wait to get it started.

While the returns for my XV investment will mostly go to acquiring more solid income tokens (ARMERO, BXT, DUO), to keep boosting my daily and weekly HIVE income, and re-adding my large portion of PWR tokdens back into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, to get my SWAP.HIVE income back to where it was before removing it (to acquire 55 XV tokens), this new bot-trading investment so far has the strongest potential (aside from outside crypto or fiat investments, which I will likely do, too) to provide me with enough liquidity to be able to strongly boost my Hive Power to reach my year-end goal of 15,000 Hive Power. That's the hope, at least.

Since Hive is a compounding and exponential-growth machine, and the more we have (of many assets anyway), the faster they grow, the resources that I have to invest further and more deeply, in both layer 1 and layer 2, are constantly increasing, thus giving me ever-greater leverage for even more growth. With my investments in different areas, and how I've been setting things up, I'll be able to earn solid income and profits regardless of what the greater crypt market is doing, or even what's happening within the Hive Ecosystem. There are always many investing opportunities on Hive, we just have to be aware of them, and then to seize them when the timing is right, and resources allow. There is always a way.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, very late, at 3PM, putting my attention on photography as my main focus for my relaxed Sunday, both for these posts, and for my entries in the Shadow Hunters and the Reflection Hunters Contests. Thankfully it was a mostly sunny day, so I was able to get quite a lot of great shots to share. After my photo expedition, I went to Tutu's to collect some food supplies, and then back to the Landing to make myself some food (spiced and seasoned mini beef patties, with pepperjack cheese, and mixed mustards), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 10:45PM, and after some asset management, and responding to my notifications on Blurt, I went to bed just after 12AM. I woke up pretty late, just before 8:30AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, doing more asset management, then getting out of bed to to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 151st Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: Accelerating HP Growth, Cross-Chain Synergy, and Two Year-End Layer-2 Goals Reached!, and then to begin immediately writing this post. It's now just before 2PM, so a lovely 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 focus on photography, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of this post! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
