When I write and mention the Hive chain or even 'Hive', I am largely referring to the integrated platform that has built so many functional applications and continues to do so. Hive is not Hive.blog, a site that some users probably never visit. This is vital to realize when we talk about the success of Hive because of where it could potentially emerge from. Should one part of the chain fail, it in no way invalidates the potential for having overall success while we register our presence on the chain.
Our common denominator is the Hive token. No matter which of the platforms we do find ourselves, it is important to have the Hive token as a critical asset. The success of any project on the chain will ultimately impact the Hive token. Most projects have their own tokens and some might eventually become more valuable than The Hive token itself. Yet if a promising token does moon, the Hive token will at least hit the sky. I have a few second layer tokens that I am bullish about, so I try and keep them at a healthy level. I actually hold more Leo than I do Hive now (case in point), after some unfortunate series of events made me sell some of my assets.
You want synergy with your project layers. That gives automatic confidence that such a project wields the potential for large cooperation and success. The more projects on this chain are in synergy with each other, the more innovation and reach of their individual efforts. Two good projects are multiplied by working together while an ordinary project benefits from a good one with proper synergy. The only problem is with bad projects that have nothing to offer. It is a lot easier to spot them though when we consider synergy, as most bad projects are simply incompatible with other functional projects. What does a quick scam and a long term, value driven project have in common after all?
As it stands today, perhaps the easiest way to onboard on Hive is through leofinance which is consistent with what valuable second layer projects offer. They also offer a wide variety of services that are bound to capture our interest and improve our knowledge about crypto capabilities and investment. The do-it-all platform that the Hive chain is building is for me the epitome of what Blockchain technology has to offer. Consider the various sectors that are covered here - media and entertainment, finance, education, gaming, information and communication and even commerce. There is an opportunity to maximize benefits from even more sectors with the way the chain continues to expand and innovate.
There is potential here - with leofinance,splinterlands, sportstalk, threespeak and a host of other applications being built here. They are all trying to get better and fine-tune their end products. They are also not closed to the idea of cooperation and leveraging on each others strengths as we've seen leofinance do before. The future is bright, best believe there is plenty in store as we unlock our potential.
