I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #686 - What Happens to HBD When the US Dollar Goes to Zero? - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, June 13, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
HBD in Savings is arguably the most consistent, dependable, reliable, and profitable income sources on the Blockchain, which makes me curious as to why it's not more extensively utilized. At the present 20% APR and monthly compounding interest, the potential to create a very efficient and effective income-generating machine, off of which we may at some point be able to live, is huge.
An example from memory that I like to give, to help flesh it out a bit, is that with 120,000 HBD in Savings, the monthly interest would be 2,000 HBD, which is pegged to the US Dollar, so quite good amount. Also, since the interest is compounded each month, it also continues to grow. At some point the interest would grow faster than we could practically use it, which is the goal. This is why I've given so much importance and focus to growing my HBD in Savings as quickly as possible.
Yes, our algorithmically-pegged, decentralized stablecoin HBD is a wonder of collaborative technological accomplishments, and the holy grail of cryptocurrencies. As much as I appreciate it, however, being aware as I am about the imminent engineered global financial crash, I am left to wonder what would happen to HBD if and when the US Dollar drops to zero value?
The short term would likely not be pleasant, however, given that HBD and how it functions is open-source code that is developed by the communtity, I'm quite certain that the developers would choose another target for the peg, perhaps gold or BTC. I think that discussions about this idea should begin now, if they haven't already started, since being prepared is a very good thing. I'm curious to hear your thoughts about this.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after my round of Hive tasks, around 1:15PM, to first help several people with hoisting the new tarp over two of the car ports which are being rebuilt. After I was done with that, I took a shower, then I returned to the Flow House for a short break, before straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), taking more photos for these posts, and then preparing and potting up several cuttings of a very-large giant tropical clumping bamboo, Dendrocalamus giganteus until sunset. After working, I took another shower, collected a quart jar of my kefir blend from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything done by just before 10:30PM, and after engaging on Waves for a bit, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed just a bit before 12AM. I did sleep well, super thankfully, waking up to the sound of Ano's truck being moved into place to unload mulch. Unloading the mulch was supposed to have been done some time over the last two days, because Ano needed the truck for going cocoing today, but it fell through the cracks, until I realized it yesterday evening, after potting up bamboo. I had offered to help, but the next morning, so I just after waking up, I jumped into helping Ano and Robert to unload the mulch in the new area that I had just cleared for it a few days ago. When that was done, I took a shower, then I went the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just after 12:30PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before doing a little more focused body and energy work on Robert. After I work with him, I'll go strain out and blend kefir, maybe take more photos for these post, and then get into land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of this post! Always forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thankiee muchlyyy 💕
Most welcome you are, @nabbas0786, certainly! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Great to see a post from you again ☺️ hope your well? I think you’re right about the hbd being pegged to the dollar. I think the dollar is certainly in trouble at the moment according to the reports anyway. So I think btc could be a good option the only thing is it’s highly volatile. I love your life goals. It sounds like you have a loving warm caring community there and I’d love to be in a community like that. It sounds so peaceful.
It's wonderful to hear that you appreciate my posts! Thank you, and very likewise! I'm doing reasonably well.
Yep, the fiat US Dollar is near its end I would say, which is going to be a bit of a bugger. Yeah, BTC's volatility would make it a challenging peg. Even gold can have wide swings. I'm still letting this percolate for a while, to see if another option comes to mind.
I'm really happy to hear that you appreciate my 2024 Life Goals! I have to give several more focus again!
GaiaYoga Gardens is an amazing place, and I'm super grateful to be able to live where and how I do, but it also very challenging as well, and for multiple reasons. Even with those challenges, however, I am still living closer to how I actually want to live than ever before in my life. There are very kind people here, though we're still working on the warm, loving, and caring part on a consist basis. It certainly can be very peaceful here, which is something that I very much love.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! I really appreciate it! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Great to hear your doing well! Yeah I really do appreciate your life goals I think you have some great goals and your aiming for what makes you happy and what you want out of life. I did check out gaiayoga gardens it looks an amazing place. I would love to have a residency there but I live in the UK. So it would be very difficult. Would love to hear your stories there and your challenges if you were willing to share. People certainly make a difference to a place and if they are kind loving warm peaceful people it makes a place. Hope your having a great day kind regards Adam
Thank you very much for that! With my goals I wanted to be authentic and to choose what was truly most meaningful to me.
It's great to hear that you took a peek at the website! It needs a lot of updates! I understand about the challenges of coming here from the UK, but we do get Europeans here quite often, so I know it is possible.
I'm open to sharing anything you'd like to know. It's truly another world here. I share quite a bit in my daily posts, here and there. The biggest challenges for me are fulfilling long-term human relationships, or a lack thereof, and keeping the jungle from eating everything.
Oh my goodness yes do people make a huge difference in a place, and they do make a place! I'm very sensitive to the people around me, so having people around me with whom I vibe is very important to me.
Many thanks again, Adam! It was a mellow, sunny Sunday here in the jungle! I hope that your start to the new week is a lovely one! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Hi it’s great that you have chosen goals in what you truly want and being your authentic self. Life’s too short in my opinion to not be. Yeah I would love to see any updates to the website. I feel in the future that in the future it would be great for me to live somewhere like there or even an equivalent here in the uk. For me I would find the financial side a bit of a struggle so I would love to have a good chunk in savings with hbd paying me 20 percent a month giving me passive income to achieve freedom and live in nature. I wouldn’t need much just food and the wildlife and good company around me that’s why I feel the yoga gardens would be great. I’m quite the same I kinda sensitive around people and it’s amazing how one bad apple can really change the atmosphere. Is finding a relationship a challenge as in people arrive as couples or are there a lot of people single and really open and affectionate and be a resident for a while then move on to somewhere else? Sorry for all the questions. It does sound an amazing place and looking from the website it looks so relaxing. I’ve had a good day thanks I’ve been out in the fresh air feel the wind through hair the sun on my face. I certainly would love to be at the beach on a day like this hear the waves crashing and the sand in your feet
Indeed, and I very much agree with that, it is essential to live authentically, otherwise true fulfillment is impossible. So much of what most people call 'society' is based around the opposite.
Put attention and energy in the direction that excites you. You could definitely make living like this happen, either here or where you are now. People are forming communities everywhere now.
That's one of the main reasons that I've put my focus on growing my HBD in Savings as quickly and as much as I can. At 120,000 HBD, the montou interest would be 2,000 HBD. That is far beyond what I need to live here. I also don't need much, far less now than at any previous point in my life.
You said it about people. Individuals can dramatically affect the energy and vibe of a place, either for positive or negative.
As to relationships, there are multiple aspects to it. Many people pass through this place, often of a younger persuasion, appearing and staying for a while, then they leave, on to other adventures. Very few people stay here. Since my breakup with my last girlfriend almost two years ago, I've mostly just stayed in the jungle, not going out to be social at all, so I really oniy meet people that come here.
I don't mind your questions or curiosity at all, no worries! Yes, it truly is an amazing place, like nowhere else on earth. That's why I choose to live here. Whether it's relaxing or not depends on the day...lol!
That's excellent to hear that you got outside in the air and sun for a while! That's so good for us! I'm glad that you had such a lovely day! All the beaches in this part of the Island are black sand, which is pulverized lava. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Ah sorry to hear about your break up that must of been a difficult time for you.
I don’t really go out much either to socialise I used too. However i feel the world is really changing and I want to be in a place where I really feel comfortable. It sounds like you’re looking to meet people in your happy place on the island. I totally get that as I’m similar.
I can understand about people staying for a while at the island I think there maybe seeing if it is for them. So there getting a kinda taste for it. How are your goals towards your hbd savings? What tokens/shares are you invested in? I’m invested in the hive drip on this blockchain and compounding the tokens earned through staking. I love that it pays out daily hive. So I’m trying to build up enough hive daily to live off that’s my goal. I currently only have 78 drip tokens I’m aiming for 500 by the end of the year. Through trading blogging and restating. How do you live out there do you work or live off savings? Hope you have a blessed great day
Thank you, I appreciate that. Yes, it hit me very hard. I used to go out to do fun things and to socialise much more than I do now. I just don't feel any motivation to go off-property. Yes, I want to meet people with whom I resonate where I am, doing what I do. Quite a few people that leave GaiaYoga remain in Lower Puna, just in other places. With how over-the-top intense events in the world are getting (and I keep track of everything, just outside the echo chamber, and down the rabbit hole), I've wanted to stay in my safe sanctuary in the jungle.
Well, my goal for this year is to get to 500 HBD in Savings, and I'm at 290 now, so I'll likely have to boost it a bit. I have a trading fund on Hive Engine that I've been slowly growing, to at some point he able to massively accelerate my growth, in both layer 1 and layer 2.
My primary focus is to grow my HP and HBD in Savings as quickly and as much as I'm able, with select investment in various layer-2 projects. I love solid, dependable, and reliable income tokens, like BRO, BXT, COM, DRIP, EDS, LGN, and I've been investing more and more in those.
Most of my bills are covered from the deep, integral energy-body-tantric healing work sessions that I do with women. When I give lots of sessions, I don't have to worry about money at all. I've made money several other ways here, but that's the most consistent.
Thank you so much! I hope that your Thursday is exceptional! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
yeah you do right i think i would be doing the exact same staying in the sanctuary and i'm sure in time you will meet a special someone there for sure. It's good to find someone who really resonates with your way of life and looking for the same things in life.
I have put Drip as my number 1 target because for me i find the token is really effective for me and i love the daily pay outs. my second target is HBD i have a low target for this year of achieving 100 HBD i have a way to go im not at 10 percent of my target yet haha. So i really need to work on that.
I do look for undervalued tokens to purchase hold and flip. You should check out BBH they pay out hive weekly when you hold a 1000 tokens. There are different perks per 1000 i think its a great token. I have bought some LGN this month but haven't received any pay outs do they pay monthly?
The tantric healing sessions sound great and you must be very good at what you do. It's great that its giving you an income to support your living there.
Haha were on Wednesday here its a big time difference. Have an amazing day
Most of the outside world seems so fake to me, so my desire to interact with it is quite low. Thanks a lot for that, I appreciate it. That'd be lovely. Yep, true complementary compatibility is key.
DRIP does seem like a very good token, and it's one that I've begun to put some focus into acquiring. Even if you're starting small with your HBD goal for this year, what's important is that you're giving it focus, because growing it is important, and will benefit you greatly later.
I know BBH well, and I have a bit over 7,000 of them. That's Bradley's token. He's super committed, which is great to see. I wish the tipping bot would be fixed...lol!
LGN pays out daily from @lgndivs. I have almost 32 of them and I receive 0.004 HIVE every day so far. I delegate HP to receive a little LGN daily, which is very helpful.
The sessions that I offer can be very helpful indeed to the women with whom I work. I am good at what I do, and I want to do it in the most beautiful way possible. I like very happy women. I live by my reputation and word of mouth. I love the work that I do, and it truly is incredible that I can live off it.
Haha...I was a day ahead apparently, as it's only early Wednesday evening here at the moment. Many thanks! Let's try this again! May your Thursday be brilliant! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
haha thanks for your kind words. We are now on Friday today the weather is warm and humid today. So will go out and feel the warm sun on my face and the gentle breeze of the wind. You can't beat it in my opinion.
In regards to the session you do it sounds brilliant and when you love what you do it doesn't feel like work at all. With the Lgn token i only own one haha so thats probably why i dont have any dividends yet haha. I did buy at 0.25 and its around 0.15 swap.hive now so it would be a decent buy at current rates. I'm glad you like the Hive drip token. They are planning on increasing the daily hive pay outs however the drip that you get from staking is decreasing to 10 percent. Making it harder to get drip, which in effect could increase the price of drip. This change is happening on the 1st of July.
I do a monthly post about my hive goals and my progress its amazing as it really helps me focus.
Hope you have a brilliant day
Kind Regards
Adam
Of course, you're very welcome! I hope that you enjoyed your time outside, and I agree, you can't beat sun and a nice breeze! That's one of the things that I love about living here, because sunny and breezy days are so common!
That's absolutely true about doing work that you love not feeling like work at all!
Ah, yes, that is likely the issue! I don't remember how many you need for dividend payment, but I don't think it's many! Yes, the present price is quite good, so picking some up wouldn't be a bad idea!
I've been slowly hearing about their plans for DRIP, but I didn't know exactly when they were going to implement the APR change. July 1st, OK. I think I need to get a lot more DRIP ASAP!
That's excellent about your monthly goals-and-progress posts! Yes, doing those sorts of posts is very helpful not oniy in terms of growth, but also tracking and seeing your growth over time. I do a weekly version, usually on Sunday. I think I'm at my 107th one this week.
Thanks so much, Adam, I appreciate it! May your Saturday be sublime! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
How are you doing my friend hope you’re having a brilliant week. It’s been sunny hear this week so I’ve been enjoying the sunshine. I managed to pick up around 250 sps token which Is going towards my target for the year. So a little bit of progress which is always good to see. Hope your having a great day
I'm doing quite well, actually. Thank you. I hope that you've been doing wonderfully well. That's great to hear! We've been getting a good bit of beautiful sunny days here too, which I've been deeply appreciating as well. Congratulations on your SPS buy! Based partly on the information that you gave me about DRIP, I made a rather unexpected investment decision a few days ago. I used the almost 5,300 SWAP.HIVE that I was growing on Hive Engine as my trading fund to buy
2,158.414 DRIP, as well as 624.355 BXT, 22.628 INCOME, and 50.331 SORT. I've been compounding and buying as much DRIP as I can by July 1st. I've come to really like that token. Thankie muchly! I wish you a glorious Thursday! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I’m glad you’re doing well and enjoying the sunny weather. Congratulations on your purchase that’s amazing you have really went for it. That’s an amazing amount of drip I do like bxt too I really need to get some of them as it pays you dividends too. I need to research income and sort. I am pleased I have been able to help in some way. I hope you get a good return on your investment. I believe you’re going to see a good amount each day of swap hive and that is going to really compound over time. I would love to hear your progress. I put a small amount of swap hive and drip in a liquidity pool last night the apr was around 500% but I’d imagine that has drastically come down today as more people enter the liquidity pool. I love the drip token too i think it’s my favourite token on hive at the moment. Have a great day ☺️
Thanks muchly, I appreciate it! I sure have!
Hehe...I sure did, I can still barely believe that I actually did it, but yep. I have almost another 52 on this account (the larger amount is staked on my @tydyn.rain trading account). I wanted to make sure that I could get as much of it as I possibly could before the 1st.
BXT is another excellent and very reliable income token. With the 650 that I now have staked on this account, I receive over half a HIVE per day.
INCOME pays out in HIVE daily, as well as providing other benefits. For the 22+ that I have, I receive 0.05 HIVE every day.
SORT is a perpetual lottery token, that gives me an entry in three weekly drawings for every 10 held of various useful assets, as well as special and seasonal drawings. At some point it will pay out dividends too.
I'm grateful to you for the information that you gave me. It was indeed super helpful! Thank you again so much! I think that you're right. That the SWAP.HIVE payouts will increase over time is pretty nifty! Sure thing, I'll be happy to share! I write about it in these daily posts, and in my Weekly Goals and Progress Updates.
That's great! I saw that pool, and I have the intention to add some assets to it too, especially since after July 1st that will likely be the best way to grow DRIP.
It is a great token indeed! It's at the top of my list at the moment too! Many thanks again! Have a fantabulous Friday! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Hello my friend i hope you had a great week and having a great day today :)
wow you have a great amount of tokens and the swap hive your receiving is amazing too im sure you will compound that over time. I would love to be able to earn an amount i can live off thats the main goal for me. I shared my monthly hive token accumulation today would love for you to take a look if you get chance i would really appreciate it. I am making progress and the liquidity pools are starting to help turn the money wheel now. I am impressed with the drip liquidity pool i am earning daily with that. The markets overall have really taken a hit and many tokens are down. I had barely any funds but i did manage to scrape together a little bit of money to buy up some discounted tokens. As they say save money for a rainy day hehe
Have a great day.
Warm greetings Adam! Thanks so much, and very likewise! I'm doing quite well I'd say!
Yep, I invested big in a few good income tokens, that have now boosted my daily liquidity, which I'm already I'm the process of compounding daily (the DRIP on both accounts).
That's my goal, too, to one day be able to easily live off the dust of my account's interest, and to be able to help as many other people do the same!
That's excellent, congratulations! I'll go take a peek right after finishing this reply!
That's great to hear that you're warning so well from the DRIP pool! I have my eye on it, but I haven't wanted to use any of my DRIP just yet.
Yep, the crypto market has definitely been a bit volatile lately! It's marvelous that you were able to take advantage of it to buy tokens! Congrats again! Hive's a solid investment!
Many thanks again! I hope that you have a wildly wonderful weekend! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
