I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1188 - Some New Ideas for ALIVE - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, October 28, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I've been thinking and feeling into possible ways to make our beloved ALIVE token even more interesting, useful, and valuable for all of you, our community, a couple new ideas have been bubbling up in my mind as of late. Adding HIVE to our daily ALIVE dividends was a very good idea I'd say, as everyone seems to appreciate it, and it's also helped to create an upward trajectory for the ALIVE market price. Now to see what else we can do make ALIVE even better.

I've mentioned many times that the value of an asset is in large part determined by how easily it can be exchanged for other assets. Presently we only have two direct bridges to other assets, the ALIVE:ALIVEM diesel/liquidity pool, and the market. With that in mind, I had the idea last night to create other ALIVE diesel/liquidity pools, to make swapping between ALIVE and other useful and valuable assets a quick and easy process.

While there are several possible new pools that would be helpful, the first two that come to mind are ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE and ALIVE:SWAP.BLURT, especially considering that the We Are Alive Tribe is now a multi-blockchain community, presently with an active base on both Hive and Blurt. Although there are indeed other possible pools that would be very useful, like ALIVE:SWAP.HBD, ALIVE:SWAP.BTC, and ALIVE:SWAP.LTC, the above two are a good place to start.

The main obstacle which presently prevents this from happing right now is the fact that it costs 1,000 BEE to create a new pool, which is around 540 SWAP.HIVE, so very expensive indeed. While we do have a reasonable BEE income, it is nowhere near sufficient yet to cover costs like this. Since I can't create these pools just yet, they'll be on the ALIVE roadmap for future developments, that will be implemented when our resources allow.

Another idea that I've been pondering is about making ALIVE a dual/symmetrical tipping token, like BBH is now, where both the tipper and the tippie receive 0.1 ALIVE each for every valid tip call. This would be feasible to implement now, as it would only require a minor script change by @borniet, and for me to keep more liquid ALIVE on @youarealive, so easy-peasy. Let me know what y'all think about these two ALIVE ideas, and rest assured that I, and we, will continue doing everything that we're able to make our token, and our community, better and better over time.

Yesterday, Tuesday, after I finished up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks by around 12PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started slightly late, it went very well, and we wrapped it up by about 5:30PM, after which I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with that in hand, I made my way back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and to catch up on my Hive Notifications. I was able to get everything done very early again, by a bit after 8PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed about 10:30PM. I woke up a little after 6AM, having slept very well, 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 11:30AM, so it's a glorious time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
