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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
In my post yesterday on strategic asset allocation and reallocation, I mentioned that I was strongly considering removing a good chunk of assets from the SWAP.HIVE:MEME liquidity pool, to reallocate to the MEME:PEPE pool, and to increase my holding of certain income tokens. Well, I did indeed end up doing exactly that. I removed 50% of my liquidity from that pool, next I used part of the MEME to add the rest of my liquid PEPE to the their shared pool, then I swapped a big portion of the leftover MEME into PEPE, and I added all that to the pool as well. My assets now comprise 8.353% of the total pool liquidity in the MEME:PEPE pool, with my assets in the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pool dropping to 1.41% of the total liquidity. Now it's time to rebuild my stake in the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pool!
I used the SWAP.HIVE from my liquidity removal to buy 1 PEPTIDE (I got my token, @fjworld!), a whole bunch of SBT, and some more BBHO too. My staked SBT now sits a little over 240,000, so I almost doubled my holding. With the BBHO that I bought, and added to the amount that was accumulating naturally, I now have 367.753 BBHO ready for BBHO Powerup Day on the 20th. Not bad at all I'd say!
SWAP.HIVE often grows quite quickly in pools where that asset is a pair (when assets are added to the pool regularly), so I've found it helpful to allow assets in these pools to increase for a good while, then to periodically 'squeeze' them a little by removing a chunk of liquidity, to use the SWAP.HIVE for a good boost to various income tokens. I've done this so far with the SWAP.HIVE:CENT and the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pools. After removing and reallocating the assets, I then begin rebuilding my stake in the pools from which I removed assets, thus creating a cycle of growth and harvest over time.
I've been growing my liquidity in various pools substantially lately, so much so that my stake now composes a notable percentage of some of them. I'm presently 2.326% of the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, 1.144% of the CENT:SWAP.BTC pool, 8.353% of the MEME:PEPE pool, still 1.410% of the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pool, 3.638% of the DVS:DHEDGE pool, 1.711% of the SWAP.HIVE:ATF pool, and 1.356% of the MEME:FUN pool, with a few others getting close to popping into the 1% range. Several liquidity pools are quite small, so it's actually not very difficult to become a sizeable stakeholder in them.
I'm using the rewards from the pool in which I've invested most heavily, the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, to grow my stake in many other pools, thus spreading and evening out my pool investments over time. With this method, I've been strongly increasing the daily income that I receive from liquidity pools in general, as well as the income from particular pools. It won't be long before my investment in diesel/liquidity pools is on par with what I've invested in various layer-2 (mostly income tokens). My intention is to get my investments in layer 1, layer-2 tokens, and in diesel/liquidity pools, all to the same level, though this will of course take time and patience. It's satisfying to see how far I've come until now, and I'm excited to see how far I can take it!
Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, a bit later than usual due to rain, around 2:45PM. I focused first on photography for these posts, and once done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food, partly in the rain. Since it was raining on and off all day, I didn't feel very motivated to try work in my nursery, so after cow food, I took a shower, made myself some food (mini spiced and seasoned beef patties, with pepper jack cheese, and mixed honey and horseradish mustards) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I returned to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by about 9:45PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 12AM. I woke up just a bit before 7:15AM, after having slept well, doing more asset management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 11AM, 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 to go take some photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, and then to prepare for my session with Riana at 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next incarnation of this post tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
