Good point and also good point from forexbrkr below. I think both can be effective in a very limited way. Don’t get me wrong every little bit helps.

However, this is what I think from studying many defi projects on the BSC. A defi project, which are virtual clones of PCS grows in 2 ways (oh CUB is a clone of PCS and make no mistake about it)

1. Easy way to attract a lot of capital in the beginning by providing high fees, high APR and lots of inflation (lots of burn). This typically last 10-20 days. Then it burns out.

2. After the initial phase is over. Some projects begins to do new things like layered farming in goose, optimized compounding in Swamp or partnership and IAO in Ape. So far the 3rd, the Ape model have been most successful for the secondary growth.

That brings me back to marketing that both of you proposed. I am sorry to be blunt, if Twitter or Quora spam would do anything then Nathan would be the prime minister of Britain by now (no disrespect but I hope you get the joke). Panther didn’t really do any marketing... but you know about it... why? It’s TVL man! This is yield farming. There isn’t any loyalty... it’s just money. Also what will loyalty buy you have already bought you. Hive users ceiling is 18-20M TVL. To grow outside investment must be attracted, otherwise no one is interested. There are many options..., next. Higher return more crowd, more TVL. Very simple. Hive/Leo people are very patient thankfully otherwise the run on the bank would have happened by now. Just calling a spade a spade. Cheers!
