if Leo can get an exchange listing and some buzz in the crypto world, it won't matter really about the distribution, but what will matter is the price. When the price of something is high, peoples perceptions of it are the same. Leo could do something crazy in price if it can get an exchange listing. Which it absolutely needs otherwise it relys on Hive being the liquidity, and the more layer 2's there are on Hive with no USD pairs the more Hive will be binned.
