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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've talked quite a lot about the possibilities and the actualities of using Hive assets as a form of payment for goods and services in the world, and for good reason, as with suffient focused community outreach, education, and onboarding, individually and collectively, we have the ability to make it happen. There are multiple regional groups on Hive that are doing exactly that.

I've mentioned the incredible work that the commited and dedicated people at @hivesucre in Cumaná, Sucre, Venezuela have been doing, where to date they've onboarded 60+ local business to accept HBD as valid payment. Very thankfully this sort of thing is spreading more and more, as individuals, businesses, and communities see ever-more clearly what is possible. The @hivecuba community now has a website where they list businesses on the island of Cuba that accept HIVE and HBD as valid methods of payment. The @hiversbqto team in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, have successfully onboarded a co-working space to also accept HIVE and HBD, GREAT OPENING of the FIRST Coworking in the World that accepts HIVE and HBD [ENG-ESP], which is a fantastic accomplishment! Huge congratulations to them!

To help bring greater awareness, and promote the further spread and development of the use of Hive assets in the world, the @threespeak team has begun a SpendHBD Initiative. This initiative will hopefully inspire and motivate even greater interest, energy, and efforts on the part of hivers/hivians worldwide to work to make it possible, feasible, and practical to use our Hive assets in the world, and in an easy and quick manner. This is very exciting indeed!

How to Participate in the #SpendHBD Initiative (from the above-linked post)

How to participate:

* Use a store that accepts lightning payments (and pay with V4V), a store that already accepts Hive's HBD, or a local store to accept HBD (we know this might be challenging, but it's not impossible).

* Record the purchase process and upload it to 3Speak.tv. It's very important to record the process where the QR Code is scanned.

* Use the #SpendHBD tag in your post.

* Share your post on social media and use relevant tags or hashtags. For example, you can share a small video clip and invite people to watch the full version on your 3Speak channel.

* Repeat this process as many times as possible.

These kind of initiatives are some of the very important efforts that are exceedingly good for the whole Hive Blockchain Ecosystem, which is why I'll highlight and promote them whenever they come into my awareness. I do very much look forward to being able to use my Hive assets for purchases, and even to pay bills, everywhere at some point. Can you imagine? We can indeed make it happen! It's already begun, we just need to help give the snowball a little push!

I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, just after 1:30PM yesterday, which was definitely earlier than usual. Perhaps I'm just getting more efficient...🤣 I any case, since I had already taken photos for this post in the morning yesterday, I didn't have to devote time to it in the afternoon, allowing me to put my focus on land work immediately. I repaired a disconnected water-collection gutter on the corner of Stefano's lab, then I got my machete to collect my daily wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. Once those two tasks were done, I did another round of paid work weeding in Ano's nursery. Once I was done with that, I got a wheelbarrow and transported two large pots of soil from my nursery across the property to the base of the lava steps up to the Flow House, to deposit on both sides, as a planting medium. I now have a lovely locally-adapted New Guinea Impatiens, and a Persian Shield Strobilanthes, planted on either side of the lava steps, mulched and happy.

Once work was 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, earlier than usual, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. Because I stared so early, I was able to get everything done just after 9PM, so after a short round of token management, I went straight to bed, as I was feeling quite sleepy, just after 9:30PM. I thankfully slept well until 5AM, doing another short round of token management, then going back to sleep until 8:30AM, at which point I got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's a little after 1:30PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon to take photos for tomorrow's iteration of this post, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
