It's been a while since I've heard some real good stuff about LEO! But I never really got to learn about it in as much detail as I should have. I blame the barking spiders LOL! (Splinterlands Joke)!
Well, to be fair, I didn't much understand the whole deal about layer two and tribe tokens in general, because when the Tribes, and the then Steem engine came out, I was on a Sabbatical from the blockchain! That's a story for another day! By the time I returned a couple years later, so much had happened, it was a bit too overwhelming for me to get all of it in. I focused on the basics, i.e. growing my Steem Power (Now Hive Power). And the within a month, Justin Sun happened, more overwhelming stuff! So my research on the tribes kept getting delayed.
I kept my nose on the grindstone and worked toward my target of 2000 Hive Power and reached there pretty quickly. So quickly that I surprised myself. I realized, this Blockchain is no longer what it used to be a few years back, with all the circle jerking and hard work going unnoticed! A lot had indeed changed. The big stake holders were focused on rewarding hard working authors, and distributing to as many people as possible.
I have been talking to a lot of knowledgeable people on discord and on the chain and one thing was evident to me. Everyone resonated the same ideology, Decentralization. Everyone seemed to be hell-bent on the concept that the more widely distributed a token is, the more value it will hold in a truly decentralized economy. The big stake holders no longer wants everything for themselves, they want it as distributed as possible.
This is where my journey on Leo gets a kick up the arse! My good friend @trumpman has been speaking about Leo a lot on his posts and I noticed @taskmaster4450 was post all his contents via the Leo Front end. I never really understood what difference it made until I read the latest post by leofinance on how some of these authors are in fact making a lot more in terms USD in LEO than in HIVE! This came as quite a surprise to me and this is the first time I started considering the possibility of a layer 2 token becoming more valuable than the native HIVE token itself!
I was talking to @taskmaster4450, @sidwrites and @hetty-rowan over at the Mancave Discord and I mentioned reading this somewhere (the 2nd layer tokens having more value than the Native token itself) but couldn't remember where I read it! Funnily enough, once I went back to my browsing history, it turned out to be a post by @taskmaster4450 himself! He must've been laughing lol!
Earlier this week, I've already seen and been a part of the impressive launch of BRO and the strength of an engaging community in the Mancave and Neoxian city began to intrigue my interest in more of the tribe tokens! The launch of BRO showed us just a glimpse of the endless possibilities the Tribe Tokens provide us in terms of growth!
So, even though I'm pretty late to the party at LEO, the party has just started and I wanna be a part of it! So with this first post through the Leofinance Front End, I declare my target of reaching 1000 LEO tokens as quickly as humanly possible! I don't want to set myself a deadline _(when has that ever worked)!_ But when I have a target to work towards, I tend to perform pretty well!
So that'll be all from me for now. I'll say goodnight, with my eyes set at 1000 LEO Tokens!
