I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1185 - Investing and Leveraging Assets for a Greater Purpose - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, October 25, 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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My passion for Strategic-Synergistic Investing and Asset Leveraging, that was born here on Hive, has never been just about, or for me, but rather equally to benefit, and support everyone around me, and to do what I can to help build and grow a thriving community. That is and has always been my intention, and I work toward those ends, and with that purpose, in everything that I do on Hive, Blurt, or any other blockchain where I'm active. I want us all to succeed.

I want to give back a thousand fold for the trust and support that I've been given on Hive over the years, and now as a core leader and the asset manager for the We Are Alive Tribe, that's what I now have the opportunity to do. Just as I've been building and growing my own financial empire on my own account, that's exactly what I'm now doing for the We Are Alive Tribe, for all of you.

The market value of a layer-2 token, such as our beloved ALIVE, represents the community's trust in those who lead and run the project behind it. With HIVE now being distributed daily in our ALIVE dividends, and as expected, there is more interest in our token, and in our community, and while this is indeed a a wonderful thing, there's something important that I want to clarify.

The HIVE that is now send out weekly to our HP delegators, and in the daily ALIVE dividends, presently comes almost entirely from our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter, and as such it's dependent on only one other project for its continuation. While I very much hope that this project will continue with its HIVE payouts, if it does end them for any reason, then the HIVE payouts would need to stop until I'm able to find a suitable replacement. This means that your trust in me and my investing and asset-leveraging capabilities will be proportional to how likely you are to invest in, or devest from, our ALIVE token.

Most income streams on Hive, other than those strictly in layer 1, are very often ephemeral or temporary, even if they continue for a good while, which means that it's necessary to make periodic adjustments, tweaks, reallocations, and sometimes notable changes. I've found this to be true in my investments on my own account, and it holds equally true for my asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe. Regardless of what income stream is or is not flowing at any particular time, or what assets that we're able to send out to you, our community, you have my word that I will do everything that I'm able to keep building and growing our income streams and our financial resource base, for the benefit and good of everyone in our community. I ask for your trust and patience, and I will not let you down.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, around 2:30PM, and even though it was rainy and densely cloudy, I still focused some time on photography for my posts. The weather didn't give me much motivation to work outside on the land, so the first community task that I undertook was to do more research online on Westinghouse generators, as a possible replacement to our defunct generator. Even though the weather was uninspiring, I still did do some clearing with my machete in the front orchard, until it really started raining that is. After the rain started, and I ended my clearing for the day, I took a shower, then I headed to the Landing to heat up and eat some leftover food, and once I finished, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get as much of my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and catching up on my Hive notifications, done as possible before our electricity went out, which I knew that it would given how cloudy it was all day. Thankfully I was able to get everything done super early, by just after 8PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed at the earliest time that I have in ages, just after 9:30PM. I woke up around 2AM in the morning to the power out (so much to my chagrin, I missed my daily QORT payment on Qortal), and unable to sleep, I did some asset management on my phone, before giving sleep another try. I woke up again around 6:45AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more asset management on my phone, going to turn the solar electrical system back on, then to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee, and finally back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's a really good time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, straining and blending coconut kefir, some community/land work, and then to go over to my friend Lea's place to help her with a repair. 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
