I am a huge fan of a few things when it comes to blockchain and cryptocurrency. However, my two favorite things (other than Bitcoin) at this time are Thorchain and 
I've been a fan of Rune for quite a while now and have done my best to stack some. Today they shot up 15% in value, and I believe that this is just a small glimpse at what is to come.
I'll toss in a little official description of what RUNE is for my fellow crypto-nerds who want the deeper dive:
THORCHain is a decentralized liquidity protocol that allows users to easily exchange cryptocurrency assets across a range of networks without losing full custody of their assets in the process.

I think that everyone should be keeping an eye on what this team is doing with their defi projects cub finance and polycub.

I am not sure what the logistics of this idea would be (Thor-wrapped Leo?) but I know that the two communities coming together would be beneficial for everyone. I also know that being able to earn yield from my two favorite assets being paired together would be a huge win in my book.
What do we think? Would RUNE be a good ecosystem to get after next for the
