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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Today is an exciting day for me, not only because I get to participate once again in the wonderful Hive tradition of Hive Powerup Day (HPUD), but also because with this March HIVE powerup, I'll cross the significant milestone of 9,000 Hive Power! Yahooey! It was back just after the middle of October 2024 that I reached 8,000 HP, which means that I gained 1,000 HP in about 4 months and a week. Not too shabby! My HP growth has definitely been accelerating!
After today I'll have around 6,000 HP to go to reach my 2025 Hive goal of 15,000 HP, which is a bit more than double what I would gain naturally, so it will be essential for me to boost it using off-chain crypto, which I plan to do near the end of the year. I will also make at least one good fiat investment into HP at some point this year as well, so 15,000 HP before the end of 2025 is quite doable.
I've been leveraging and growing my assets across both layer 1 and layer 2, in many diverse areas, and in various ways, with my recent focus being on substantially increasing my stake in a good array of excellent diesel/liquidity pools, which has been going very well indeed. Just yesterday I strongly increased my liquidity in the three CCC pools, CCC:MUSIC, CCC:PHOTO, and CCC:WIT, all of which provide excellent benefits, one being quite nice SWAP.HIVE payouts. I'm rapidly growing my liquidity in the DVS:DHEDGE and the SWAP.HIVE:ATF pools on a daily basis, with my assets now comprising 3.440% and 1.183% of the total liquidity in each of these two pools respectively, and I'm just getting started!
AI-bot trading on Hive.Trading is really beginning to interest me and get my attention, as at least one of the two (of four total) bot trading profiles has definitely demonstrated its capacity to generate profit over time. I still have two to test, one per month, but my results are very promising so far. Once I find the optimal bot profile for my purposes, AI-bot trading is looking like it's going to become another significant component of my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine, which means that it will become a new focus for investment.
On a bit of a different topic, the new laptop that I ordered has been shipped, and is now en route to me, for which I'm super grateful. Although I am no fan of Amazon, it's still the easiest way to get hardware that I need, so that's how I ordered this new computer. It's a very solid laptop overall, although I do wish that the screen refresh rate were higher. As soon as it arrives, I'll remove the hard drive (to keep it as a backup), and the SSD (which has Windows 10 installed on it), to replace them with one of my own hard drives that has Arch Linux installed, and a much larger SSD that I use to transfer files between my three separate Arch Linux installations, that I periodically swap. I'm excited to get my Qortal node back online, and to begin receiving payouts once again. Very soon!
Specs for My New Laptop
DELL 2021 G5 15.6'' FHD Gaming Laptop, Intel i7-10750H, NVIDIA GTX 1650Ti, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB PCIe Solid State Drive + 1TB HDD, HDMI, WiFi, Ethernet, Backlit Keyboard, Win10 Home
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for these posts, and straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, before getting my machete to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. Once I had all that done, I took a shower, and a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, and finally I jumped into another round of salvaging and transporting plants from my newer, now derilict nursery, across the property, to my older, original nursey. I only moved one (very full) wheelbarrow of plants and empty pots this time, but regular progress is what's most important, and I'm definitely making a good dent each time, which feels great. After finishing up with my nursey, I cleaned up, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished everything just before 11PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just a little after 12:30AM. I woke up just before 8AM, after having slept well, doing more asset management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:15PM, 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 later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for these posts, before walking over to my friend Lea's place to help her with some land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
