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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Our Hive Power is bar none one of our top most important Hive assets. It is our stake, or ownership, in the Hive Blockchain, and represents the weight of our influence upon it, as well as our capacity to help and support other Hivers. Hive Power is a governance token that allows us to participate in voting for Hive witnesses, supporting proposals, and determining the direction of the Blockchain.

As our HP increases, so do our curation rewards, and the amount that we are able to give other Hivers with our upvote, which stimulates and motivates growth across the whole Blockchain. We can be a positive force for distributing wealth to the Hive community. Any powerup adds value and strengthens the entire Hive Ecosystem.

Because of the marvels of compounding interest and exponential growth, our Hive Power is always growing, and it grows faster the more we have. I presently sit at just about 7,020 HP, and with the usual APR range of 2.77-3.08%, I now receive 16.205-18.018 HP every month in passive interest, and it keeps going up as my HP rises.

Because of the beauty of our DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus model, we can also use our growing Hive Power to delegate to other Hive accounts, such as various community curation accounts, as a way of both supporting the greater Hive community, and receiving delegation benefits in return, which is a very mutually-beneficial dynamic. Hive Power is gold. When we power up our HIVE into Hive Power, we are powering up all of Hive with our belief in it.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after my Hive round, at 2PM, first buzzing my head and face, and straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). I was supposed to do some body work on Robert, but it got rescheduled to 3PM, so got a couple things done in the mean time. After working on Robert, I collected a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow food. The sun was glorious at that late-afternoon hour, so I took avantage of it by taking a nice batch of photos. After taking photos, I collected my quart jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I headed back to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had to pause half way through to go make some food for Iolanthe down at Tutu's, which didn't take too long, so I was back to catching up in no time. I got everything finished by just before 10:30PM, and after a while playing in Waves, I went to bed just before 11:45PM. Thankfully I slept fairly well, waking up just a little after 8AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's before, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get a few important Hive tasks done, before my friend Audrey comes to pick me up at 2PM. She invited me to be her partner in a sensual massage workshop at Lolia, down along the coast, which should be fun. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

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

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process 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.

The second photo is of a species of lichen that grows profusely on the lava. It's a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and an algae. They're pretty cool looking. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you for sharing this information about Hive Power.
It's great to know that our Hive Power is so important to our community involvement and our ability to positively influence the direction of the Blockchain.
It is motivating to see how our HP can be a force for distributing wealth and strengthening the Hive ecosystem.

Hello,

Always attentive to your HIVE suggestions. I confess that the existence of HP, HBD and HIVE confuses my brain a little 🙄 🙃 🤓

I already understand a little more with publications I have read. But because I'm new here, there are still things that escape me 🤔

For example, it mentions the importance of Hive Power in the value of our positive vote. It turns out that I like to delegate Hive Power to communities and elements that I consider predominant for all work on the ecosystem. As I gain Hive Power I will increase my delegations.
But I saw that by delegating Hive Power I lose the value of my vote😲
I don't know what is most advantageous for ecosystem.

Can you give me your opinion?

Continue in your wonderful nature where green cures everything 🍀 🌴 🌳

Strong hug 🤝

Warm greetings again!

I can help explain HIVE, HP, and HBD. HIVE is the base token of the Hive Blockchain, and since it's in liquid form, it can be sold, sent to other accounts, converted into HBD, or powered up. Hive Power (HP) is HIVE that has been staked, or powered up. HP is the main governance token of the Blockchain, allowing us not only to vote on other Hivers' posts, comments, and replies (in 7 days, after the post/comment/reply pays out, you'll receive half of what you voted), but also to vote for Hive witnesses and on proposals. Our Hive Power is the weight of our influence on the Blockchain, and our capacity to help others. It represents our stake, or ownership, in the Blockchain, so it's very important. HBD is Hive's own decentralized, algorithmically-pegged, stablecoin that always equals a dollar's worth of HIVE. It can also be sold, sent to other accounts, swapped into HIVE, or put into Savings to make use of the 20% APR and monthly compounding interest. HBD takes three days to withdraw from Savings.

No worries! Hive is a big Ecosystem, with a lot going on, so it takes time to take it all in and understand how it all works. Just take it a little at a time, to make it easier to digest.

Yes, when we delegate HP, we 'lend' another account our Hive Power, so our own vote weight goes down, until the delegation is recalled. That's why many community curation accounts provide benefits to delegators. I can tell you how I do it. I delegate 50% of my total Hive Power, which I see as half benefiting the community, and half benefiting me (it's actually more complex, because we're all quite interconnected here, so both sides of my 50% benefit both).

Thank you, yes, that's my plan! I love being so deep in nature!

Warm hug to you too, brother! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thank you very much once again for your kind and useful information. I've already learned a little more about the complexity of the hive.
Grateful!🙏

In fact I have well over half in delegations. I have to be more balanced so as not to lose value in the vote.

One mistake I was making is voting too many times a day. I genuinely voted for everything I liked. I read an article that the reasonable limit is 10 votes per day.

Step by step, I improve my knowledge and performance on the network.

Thanks a lot 🙏

You're very welcome, absolutely! I'm happy to help! That's excellent!

Yeah, it's easy to delegate too much. As opposed to recalling the delegations, just wait until you grow your HP to a sufficient degree to where what you're delegated is 50% of your total HP. You can also request a 1-week HP delegation from Ecency for Ecency Points, that's about 200 HP.

If you vote at 100% voting power, then you can only vote 10 times per day. I started that way too. Now I give 10% votes to posts, and 5% votes to comments and replies. That way I can vote hundreds of times every day.

Yes, that's exactly it, you're learning and understanding more about the Blockchain every day, and with that new understanding, you'll be able to do more all the time! Congratulations on your successes so far!

You're deepiy welcome again, most definitely! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
