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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Yesterday afternoon I blasted past 2,700 HP, as my account continues to grow at an increasingly accelerating rate, much to my great satisfaction. Given that my HP represents my power on the Blockchain, and my capability to help others here, I don't ever plan to power down, especially considering that my long-term goal here is to reach whale 🐳 level. The more I have, the more I can help!
As the puppets and tentacles of the desperate and dying slave system attempt to bind and gain control over cryptocurrencies, and anything else that allows people to extricate themselves from this anti-human framework, gateways such as KYC ('Know Your Customers') are beginning to appear everywhere. Regardless of the supposedly benevolent reasons for crypto regulations, 'laws', and verifications, I will tell you straight up that none of these are for our benefit, and they are in fact a direct infringement of our freedom, self-determination, and sovereignty. In reality, acquiescing to KYC is the onramp for centrally-controlled pernicious digital currencies like the CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies), digital IDs, and a social credit system, which are all meant to enslave people to a degree that most can't fully yet even imagine. So yeah, thanks, but no thanks!
Knowing what I know now, if there is KYC to do anything regarding crypto assets, I will not participate. Anything centralized will soon require KYC, especially to transfer value, and I'm not playing along any more. This is, in part, why I will only promote, support, or involve myself in community-based, open-source, and decentralized/distributed expressions of finance - ones that cannot be forced to KYC those that utilize them, and therefore cannot be stopped.
There are very few crypto projects where this is the case. Yes, we do very thankfully have that here on Hive, of course. Qortal and Bastyon are also two other social blockchain projects in which I have been, or I am now, involved as well. Qortal also has its own internal decentralized wallets and exchange. Hive, Qortal, Bastyon, and sovereignty-driven projects like them should, from my perspective, communicate, stick together, share, cooperate, and collaborate, for the good of everyone involved in these respective communities and projects, and for all of humanity. We're on the same team, whether the people in these different-though-related communities are able to see it or not yet.
There already exists a non-KYC-able bridge between Hive and Qortal in the form of LTC-SWAP.LTC, BTC-SWAP.BTC, and DOGE-SWAP.DOGE, so even if there is no formal relationship between our two amazing Blockchains, exchanging value is not only possible, but quite easy. I'll definitely make use of it at some point in the near future. No KYC, CBDCs, digital IDs, or social credit systems for me, thank you very much!
I finished up my afternoon round on Hive, getting everything to a reasonable pause-point, quite early yesterday, just before 2:30PM. There were still things that needed to be done by 5:30PM my time, but I had a couple hours to devote to helping Elohi (Ano and Melekai's 12-year-old son) to do a very good round of weeding, clearing, and mowing (he did the mowing) around Tutu's and along the throughway down to the nurseries and Kana's place. We worked for two hours straight, and we got a lot done. Everything looked so much better afterwards. I cleared cane grass in an area between one of my Coleus beds and a coconut tree, to begin preparing it to make a planting bed for tomatoes.
Once I finished working (quite a bit earlier than usual), I took a shower, then headed back to the Flow House to get a couple time-sensitive tasks done on Hive. I kept my focus on Hive until I got hungry, at which point I paused to go make myself some food and get food for my kitten friend, and then I returned to the Flow House for my more usual evening round of Hive catch-up and tasks, which took me clear until past 11:30PM to complete. Sometimes, like the last few days, there's just more things that need my attention on Hive. I got everything but one done, stopping only because I couldn't stay awake any longer. Even though I went to sleep late, I slept well, and I woke up feeling good. I finished the one task that I had to leave from last night in the morning, before getting out of bed, along with a short round of token management. I finally got up around 9AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now approaching 1:30PM, so a great time to end this post for now, so that I can get to my afternoon Hive round. I'll do my best to finish as early as I can again, so I have more time to work on the land, and hopefully with my plants. I deeply appreciate you all very much! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
