I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #533 - BTC Spot ETF Approval and Potentials for the Crypto Market - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, January 11, 2024

I live barefooted and naked, 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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The SEC finally, after many delays, approved an array of BTC Spot ETFs on January 10th, with trading volume the very next day surpassing $4.6 billion. That's likely just the beginning, with the approval expected to draw a truly massive inflow of investments into the crypto market, which in time will very likely notably affect most cryptocurrencies, including HIVE.

I'm very curious, of course, as I'm sure most of you are, about how this will affect Hive and its myriad assets. Obviously the potential is huge, though we'll have to see how it plays out in practical terms. While the news is interesting to me in terms of the potential, I also balance that with the understanding that both Blackrock, which submitted the BTC-Spot-ETF application, and the SEC which approved it, are not operating for the good of humnanity (quite the opposite), and as such cannot and should not be trusted. That does not mean, however, that with proper awareness that substantial profits could not be made.

Regardless of anything, or what's happening with BTC or the greater crypto market, I know where I want the main focus of my investments - here on Hive. I began building, growing, and saving as soon as I arrived on this incredible Blockchain almost 2.33 years ago, and it's more clear to me than ever that here is where I need to focus. Yes, I'll be growing and saving on Bastyon and Qortal too, but the potentials for profit on Hive are still unparalleled.

If the fiat value of HIVE drops to 1¢, or if it rises to $10, I will continue doing exactly what I'm doing now on Hive, because I'm not chasing fiat value, I'm creating real value on a sovereignty-driven blockchain that is designed to help liberate humanity from financial slavery, with assets that will far exceed the value of any fiat currency at some point soon. Hive all the way, baby!

I left the Flow House just before 2:30PM yesterday, Thursday, with the intention of taking photos for this post, before focusing on land work. The cloudy weather at the time, however, made it less than ideal, so I decided to go collect a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food first. Once that was done, the sun was peeking out from behind the clouds a bit more, so I grabbed my phone and walked around, taking photos at opportune moments. With photo taking done, I went into the large jungle chicken pen to retrieve three Melochia trunks from trees I had cut down (they regrow fast) while collecting cow food a few days ago, and brought them to the shop area for Ano to process. After that task was completed, I went to Ano's nursery to do a short round of paid work, which entailed more thorough weeding. Finishing that, I moved on to do some weeding in and on the edges of my Coleus beds between Tutu's and Kana's house/the fenced garden/the nurseries.

With work done for the day, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself food, then I headed back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and getting up to date with my notifications. I ended up helping a fellow in the Qortal Linux Support Channel on Telegram with a node-bootstrap issue, which took me bit over an hour (thankfully we resolved his issue), so that made me finish everything on Hive pretty late, just before 12:30AM. I did a short round of token management before calling it a day and going to bed, later than I would have liked. I could have slept better, and longer, but I woke up around 7:30AM, did another short round of token management, then I got out of bed to make my superfood fire coffee.

Because the day has been so sunny from morning until now, I walked around and took the photos for tomorrow's version of this post, before beginning to write this post, so that doesn't need to be done later. It's just after 12:15PM, so it's a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon to go do land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices. 

3.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again. 

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

5.) Continue my work with Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, Bastyon, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, as well as learn relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute. 

6.) Get regular healing sessions with women flowing again. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
