I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1012 - Multi-Level Diesel-Pool Chess - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, May 5, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Deeper and deeper I go into the wonders of diesel/liquidity pools, both in my liquidity stake, and in my perspective and understanding, and as I understand more, I'm able to do more, and with discerning decisiveness. Strategic synergistic asset leveraging as a whole, the liquidity-pool part of it, is very much like a multi-level game of chess, where certain things need to be done, and certain moves taken, first, which then opens the door for innumerable other major areas of gameplay and potential success.

In my exploration of, and experimentation with, a wide assortment of liquidity pools, and paying ever closer attention as I observe them over time, I've come to see that some pools are far better than others at growing assets, especially in the beginning, when large amounts of liquidity are not yet often available to add. There are certain tokens that exist as part of a pair in multiple, and sometimes many pools, and what I've found is that some of these pair combinations provide much better leverage than others to begin growing the paired assets.

There are a lot of great pools, but in terms of the best strategy to begin adding liquidity to them, it's a very good idea to start with those that give the most leverage, so that assets can be grown to a sufficient level, to then be able to fund the adding of liquidity to still more pools which offer other benefits. In other words, things need to be done in steps and stages, that make it possible to open up other potential steps and stages, so there is an order to follow when adding assets to pools, and to know the order, it's necessary to know the tokens and their pools, and that's exactly what I've been diligently doing. Tokens like BEE, CENT, CCC, MEME, SWAP.BLURT, SWAP.BTC, as well as the Splinterlands assets SPS and DEC, seem to provide excellent leverage in pretty much any pool where they're paired (though I have not tested all pools across all tokens yet).

The benefits that certain of these tokens and pools offer are really quite exceptional and multifaceted. As an example from my deeper investigations this morning, there are three top Splinterlands pools that stand out in terms of liquidity, fees earned, and two levels of benefits, SWAP.HIVE:SPS, SWAP.HIVE:DEC, and DEC:SPS. All three of these pools provide excellent pool feels to liquidity providers, they all have very good APRs, 18.98%, 18.14%, and 9.76% respectively, and as a second layer of benefit, by staking them, SPS and DEC can also be earned and claimed on Splinterlands' website.

Given that staked SPS in Splinterlands has a present APR of 11.04%, and that two of the above-mentioned pools have APRs higher than 18%, and with claimable SPS and DEC rewards, today, after much consideration, I decided to unstake the 400+ SPS that I have in Splinterlands (which will take 28 days, with a quarter unstaking every 7 days, so 100 SPS per week, for four weeks), and to use it, along with SPS and DEC from the WOO:SPS and WOO:DEC pools, to add to the SWAP.HIVE:SPS, DEC:SPS, and the PKM:SPS pools. The PKM:SPS pool has a 30+% APR, and it pays out daily liquidity rewards in SPS, DEC, and more PKM, so I want to boost my stake in that one strongly as well. Once I have a good amount of SPS and DEC flowing in, then I'll re-add liquidity to the WOO:SPS and WOO:DEC pools, as well as send SPS back to Splinterlands to stake again. This strategic asset-leveraging decision should notably increase my daily income of SPS and DEC, two assets that have a bright future (along with Splinterlands), and which can be used in myriad ways, both in Splinterlands (which I intend to start playing at some point), and in several diesel/liquidity pools. As you can see, just because I remove assets from particular allocations, it doesn't at all mean that I don't like of appreciate them, but rather to be able to grow everything, everywhere, in the best and strongest possible way, certain moves need to taken first in this game of diesel-pool chess.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a bit after 2:30PM, giving some time first to some photography for these posts, and a little sunbathing on the Trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. Once I was well sunned, I went to clear canegrass around the base of my two young cashew trees, and to do a thorough weeding in and around my patch of Mysore blackberries (ouch!). When I finally had that looking good again, I took a shower, and a few more photos, before heading to the Landing to heat myself up some food (my leftover pasta-beef-egg-salsa dish), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to get an early start on my Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had to pause that for an hour and a half to attend the Monday logistics meeting, after which I headed straight back to the Flow House to get back to Hive. I had a lot of notifications again, and with the hour and a half lost in the meeting, I couldn't get through them all before I had to stop around 11:45PM, to do some asset management, and then go to bed, way too late again, just after 12:45AM. I woke up around 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, starting on this post, getting out of bed about 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little bit later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
