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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I crossed the threshold of 14,400 Hive Power early yesterday evening, and reaching 14,500 Hive Power before the end of next week is a certainty at the present rate of growth, so it is indeed looking like I'll easily reach my 2025 goal of 15,000 Hive Power. My 2025 goal for HBD in Savings is also starting to seem a lot more achievable, especially with the help of withdrawing 2 HBD (as close to every 10 days as I'm able) from the Pepe Game, and staking that into savings. So far I've done 3 rounds of that, for a total of 6 HBD deposited into Savings, and I'm working on the next round now. My 2025 goal for Reputation was achieved several weeks ago, and I've been astonished by how quickly it's been rising. I'm super grateful for all of that.
As y'all know, I talk about my ideas and plans for what I want to implement for the We Are Alive Tribe in these daily posts all the time, and due to the hyper-busyness on the part of everyone in the Core Leadership Circle, I've been noticing that there's a little bit of a backlog of things that still need to be accomplished. With that in mind, today I wanted to go over the most significant items on my list, so that all of you are aware of what will be coming soon ('soon' is presently undefined, but hopefully over the next few weeks). Here's my present list. If there is something that I've mentioned previously that isn't listed here, let me know, as I juggle a lot, and sometimes things get missed. I'll tag @benthomaswwd, @iamraincrystal, @borniet, and @stdd here, in hopes that they see this list, and can give feedback if needed.
The We Are Alive Tribe To-Do List
1.) Make assets in the ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE and ALIVE:ALIVEM pools count for the daily ALIVE dividends, which could be done using the number of shares as the metric, or by counting the quantity of ALIVE, then doubling it. This is a script change, so it's in Bjorn's hands.
2.) Make ALIVE a dual/symmetrical tipping token, where both tipper and tipee receive 0.1 ALIVE. This is another script change, so also for Bjorn.
3.) For the daily ALIVE dividends, given that the rate limits make our daily layer-2 payouts very hit or miss, most of the tokens that we send out for the ALIVE divides will be moved to the daily liquidity rewards to liquidity providers in our new pool. The ALIVE dividends will comprise HIVE, ALIVE, and BBH, which are the most useful and valuable assets that we presently distribute. This is partly a script change by Bjorn, and partly me adding the rest of the layer-2 tokens presently sent out in the ALIVE dividends, into the daily liquidity rewards, after the script change is implemented.
4.) Increase the quantities of HIVE and ALIVE sent out to delegators, and the HIVE, ALIVE, and BBH sent out in the daily ALIVE dividends. For HIVE, we've been distributing 10 each in both the HP-delegation payouts, and in the ALIVE dividends, so we could perhaps give 15/15 a try. This is a script change, so for Bjorn.
5.) Add SWAP.HIVE, SWAP.BLURT, and BBHO to the daily liquidity rewards for our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE Pool. This is for anyone, since anyone can adds tokens into our liquidity pool's daily liquidity rewards, though Ben mentioned that he could assist here.
6.) Collect 100 BEE to reactivate daily liquidity rewards for the ALIVE:ALIVEM pool. Anyone can donate BEE for this purpose, otherwise I'll just keep slowly growing our BEE income and holding.
That's a pretty good list of nifty items to implement for the community, and we'll make them all happen in due time, though since so many of them fall on our hyper-mega-super buzzy backend-coding bee Bjorn, we'll just have to wait until he's able to fit them into his black-hole dense schedule. May his time pockets be numerous!
One of my intentions for our community, that I'm diligently endeavoring to make happen, is to turn the We Are Alive Tribe into a financial powerhouse, both on Hive, and on any other blockchains where we become active, which also includes solidifying ALIVE as a dependable, reliable, trustworthy, and profitable investment. That's exactly why I came up with the ALIVE Exit Plan, werein all Alive Tribe assets on all community accounts, that I'm actively growing, would be liquidated and distributed to our ALIVE holders and stakers, based on their holdings, in case our project and community ever does goes down for the count and fails, as a safety measure for our investors. I want all of you that believe in and support our community, and who invest in our ALIVE token, to know that we have your back and your best interests in mind, and that we will not leave you holding a bag of worthless tokens, which I see happen far too often here on Hive.
It's been about 11 months since we took over leadership, development, and management for the We Are Alive Tribe, and looking back, I can see that we've actually accomplished quite a lot in that time, for which I'm super grateful. We have much more to do, however, so there's no resting on our laurels, and I'm constantly thinking and feeling into different ways to make the We Are Alive Tribe more fun, interesting, engaging, meaningful, profitable, and better, for all of us. We'll keep moving forward, one step at a time, my friends, and we hope that you'll join us in this co-creative adventure and journey.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention, as I almost always do, to some photography for my posts, first. Once I had that done to my satisfaction, I strained and blended coconut kefir in the Landing, and with that completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I collected wood, cardboard, and brown paper bags in a wheelbarrow, in preparation to start a fire (at Ano's request, for the end of the Immersion classes) the next morning. When I had that ready to go, as my last task of the day, I went to help Braja with a few small tasks at her place. After assisting Braja, I went to the Landing to nibble on some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and after eating my fill, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, and 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 got everything done by around 9:45PM, and after some asset management, and uploading more PDF books to Qortal, I went to bed about 10:45PM. I woke up a bit after 6AM, having slept 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. I had to pause that to quickly go to get the fire going on the Peanut Lawn (I actually forgot, but Ano texted me 15 minutes before the fire was needed, so I started it exceedingly quickly), and heading out to add more wood to it a few times before returning to writing. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's an excellent 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 photography for my posts, on some community/land work, and then to walk over to my friend Lea's property to (finally, as we've been rescheduling it for 2 weeks!) 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
