I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #375 - Hive Is Efficient and Elegant Finance - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, August 6, 2023

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

One of the things which struck me as soon as I arrived on this badass Blockchain was just simple, easy, efficient, even elegant, financial transactions were. Having a wallet that is connected to our account name, uses that human-readable account name as the transaction address, it functions for both layer-1 and layer-2, it's decentralized, and it automatically works with our own internal decentralized exchange to boot, is sheer technological brilliance.

When I'm exploring a new blockchain project, the first thing that turns me off is when I'm asked to attach some version of crypto wallet to my account to be able to do financial transactions. That to me seems overly awkward and completely unnecessary, which makes it so curious that so many projects choose this method. With Hive our wallet is present and usable from the beginning, with no jumping through hoops to make it work. Hive wins out over most other blockchain projects for that alone.

The fact that, in owning our keys we own our assets, and we have complete dominion over our wallets, means that no banks or government agencies have any say at all regarding what we do with these assets. With Hive we've taken the power of money out of their hands, where it is used against us at every turn, and put it back in ours, where it belongs. Hive takes that liberating and empowering aspect of cryptocurrencies and takes it to a whole new level of usefulness, to where its simple beauty and functional elegance more resemble art.

Being able to send and receive crypto assets of other blockchains, via their respective wrapped SWAP addresses on Hive Engine, and easily, is icing on the crypto cake. Our Hive wallets truly are far more useful than many here even fully realize, and they're by far the best in the wider Cryptoverse. Hive's version of a crypto wallet has spoiled me completely, to the point where I really don't have the interest or patience to deal with other far less efficient wallet implementations. Hive is finance done right!

It was a beautiful, warm, and pleasantly breezy, sunny Sunday here in the jungle yesterday. Hive got my focus most of the day, both with my usual daily catch-up and tasks, and putting together and writing my huge 62nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update. I did take a break to take photos for this post, strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and make food, but pretty much my entire Sunday was Hive-centric. Hive is my personal business, and I put in the attention, time, and effort!

I started way too late on my My 62nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 2/3 Goals Smashed, Off-Chain Crypto Assets Received, and Dolphin Level Incoming!, so I didn't get it done and published until 2AM. Ouch! Thank goodness I slept well! I woke up around 7:30AM, and did a quick round of tasks on Hive before getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just past 11AM, and I'm in the middle of the Leadership Council meeting (mostly just listening), so it's a marvelous time to end this post, and get on with my day! After the meeting I'll dive into a thorough round of catch-up and tasks on Hive. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
