Just being real. The top few making big money is nice - for them. It doesn't help anyone else. Just like Bill Gates getting rich doesn't help the average worker. My point is that what matters to the average person (or somebody considering getting involved) is what THEY will likely be able to make, not what the richest few are making. I'm happy about the tokens I've earned on Leo but I'm also just being real.
Also, and this is only my own problem (not yours or anyone else's), I believe in privacy and decentralization so much that I don't participate in anything that isn't private and decentralized. I currently can't find any way to convert Leo into anything I actually need in real life, so for me, they are simply magical items in an online gaming world. (For more info see my "Crypto Lunch" series a few months back.) When (if) cryptos ever can be used privately and without involving centralized governments, banks, or corporations, it's another story. Just explaining my perspective since you asked.
I'm a big fan of grassroots and/or decentralized projects like Leo :)
