What Leo is doing is enough to bring the whole ecosystem out of stagnation. The only thing missing from Hive has been decent PR, and for years everyone thought that meant spamming algorithms who would basically soft censor our efforts. Now Leo a few individuals have figured out that it's connecting with people off chain and slowly slowly letting them know what we are doing which will have the greatest effect.

Also with an ecosystem as big and decentralized as Hive, its hard to really feel together on things and build up a cohesive culture. This should be the job of the front ends to make the chain attractive and that is beginning now.

I understand being a bit iffy on Hive on its own but once we see the user base double or triple, these low prices won't be possible anymore, especially the price of Leo which is carrying the whole thing.

I suspect that the Dash integration and whatever other projects come next are going to really shake up Hive.

Slowly and then all at once
