I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #694 - An Unexpected Investment Decision - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, June 21, 2024

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This morning I did something that surprised me. I had been researching more deeply into various income tokens, and running numbers to extrapolate income based on different quantities held of a few of the most consistent, dependable, and reliable tokens that I have found so far, over the past week or so. From these income explorations, an alternative investment path began to coalesce in my mind regarding the just about 5,300 SWAP.HIVE that I'd been growing on Hive Engine as my trading fund. This trading fund came from the original 18.2 LTC (that I grew into 19.3 SWAP.LTC) that I was given as a thank-you gift for some successful crypto-Investing suggestions to a friend.

One of the income tokens that I've been looking into more deeply, and one that I've come to really like, DRIP, has some significant changes coming to its DRIP-payout APR on July 1st, which will be dropping from its present 149% APR, down to a 10% APR. With the very-high present APR, it's been possible for Hivers to grow their DRIP quite effectively just by staking it. With the new 10% APR, growing DRIP will go much more slowly, which would necessitate buying DRIP off of Hive Engine. Also, the project has continued to raise the SWAP.HIVE payouts very regularly, with plans for that to continue. Those two factors together strongly suggest that the market price of DRIP is going to go up by a fair bit.

It was for that reason that I decided to seize what I saw as an opportunity, and I used my trading fund to buy 2,158.414 DRIP tokens, which I staked on my @tydyn.rain account, to both grow more DRIP quickly until July 1st, some of which I can send to this account, and to create a stable and fairly substantial passive income of SWAP.HIVE, to use for both more trading, and to buy more solid income tokens.

I was originally planning to use the entire balance of my trading fund on buying DRIP, but when I actually bought the DRIP, there were not enough sell orders of sufficient token quanties at reasonable prices, so I decided to get ahold of a few other income tokens that would allow me to strongly increase my traction and available liquidity, which would boost my growth nicely. So in addition to the DRIP that I got, I also bought 624.355 BXT, 50.331 SORT, and 22.628 INCOME tokens. All the tokens except for DRIP were sent to this account, since they will be more useful here. The BXT will give a nice boost to my daily passive HIVE income, which will be powered up on each HPUD, The SORT will give me 5 tickets in the three weekly drawings for various very useful assets, and INCOME provides various useful benefits if I recall. I should have bought some DBOND too, perhaps, but I think that I did pretty well at improving my leverage and traction on the Blockchain, which is excellent. With this unexpected decision that I made today, I may have removed the possibility to reach my yearly goals of 10,000 HP and 500 HBD in Savings. We shall see. I'll see what magic I can work!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after completing my Hive tasks, around 2PM, with my first task being to strain out and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). I did also take a few rounds of photos, when the sun came out to play. After kefir, I sharpened my machete, then I did some clearing work along the back side of my nursery, which was being swallowed whole by the jungle. Once I had that area looking better, I went to collect a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow food. After working, I took a shower, made myself some food in the Landing, then I returned to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive takes, and catching up on my notifications. I got part way through my notifications when I had to pause to go to Tutu's to make Iolanthe and her brother Elohi some dinner. When I had that done, I made my way back to the Flow House, to continue with Hive. I got everything on Hive done quite late, just a bit before 11:45PM, then I did a few more income extrapolarions for income tokens, before finally going to bed just after 12AM. I slept reasonably well, waking up just after 7AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 12PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) 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.
