Certainly a very valid perspective. And there are definitely "1000 ways to earn" within the Hive ecosystem, although we perhaps need to do a better job of teaching our existing core users to also invest a bit in all those layer two tokens. I notice that there are quite a few "old timers" here who have a good bit of Hive power built up over years but a quick gander (PeakD is really useful for this) at their Hive-Engine wallets suggets they have never even logged into Hive-Engine ONCE in their time here.

To my mind, Layer Two communities are an essential part of Hive's future, because we're rapidly moving to that tipping point where the paradigm moves from simple "being ON the blockchain" to "What you DO on the blockchain," a bit like the evolution of the Internet.
