We got a long article from @khaleelkazi regarding his vision of the future of InLeo.
If you haven't read it, click here and go through it. We see a lot of things in there which are important.
Obviously, most are aware that I am optimistic about the future of Leo. This was something that occurred many years ago. When someone is dedicated to building, as long as they keep moving forward, positive things eventually can happen.
To his credit, Khal (along with some others) never stopped. It was a process that took a long time to get where we are now, which is still embryotic. If this was a baseball game, we are still in the warm up.
That is how early this is.
With that, let us dive into what is taking place and the opportunity I foresee.
Individual Projects
What was omitted from the linked article is the fact there was no mentioned of the opportunity present to people on the platform. Certainly, it delved into the platform itself and what that presents. However, we have to look at this in another way.
Over the next few weeks, I will be going into greater detail about the future of LeoGlossary. This could serve as a case study for others to follow. Here we have something that was not started by the project team and certainly doesn't invovled them. While there could be some integration, it is a standalone project.
This means it will forge a direction to grow and expand on its own. Does that mean it is separate from Leo? Not at all.
Here is where people need to shift their mindsets.
LeoGlossary is not apart from Leo. It is the same as those who think Leo is separate from Hive. Both these scenarios are impossible.
Any benefit derived by LeoGlossary will be carry to Leo. There is simply no way to separate it. LeoGlossary is going to feed value to Leo (which will ultimately feed value to Hive).
That said, there are huge opportunities for people to take the initiative and start building. It is easy to sit back and expect others to do things. However, this is not how we are going to reach our goals.
And what is that goal?
As I stated other articles, it is a minimum of $150 million for LEO.
Revenues
The core of the article above is the idea of revenues. We were fortunate that some numbers were tossed around to help things along. While they are small, we can start with that framework.
Notice one thing we are not discussing on Leo. It is interesting there is no talk of token burns. This is something we see throughout crypto. On Leo, the talk is growth and expansion. This is much different as compared to price go up.
Revenues are going to feed into the buying of the token. This point was made clear long ago. It is essentially part of the business model being employed.
The big reveal was LeoOrange. This is based loosely on the Twitter Blue. Here is something that is crucial to understand.
For Leo, this is a foray into commerce. While it is basic, this is essential. It is important to get some commercial activities going. A monthly subscription for some services on the platform seems like a good idea. It is a way to get some $HBD flowing.
We have to keep in mind this is just one piece of the puzzle. There are other revenue feeds being developed. By stacking these on top of each other, the goal is to increase it over time.
Value Capture
LEO is the value capture token for this platform. It is a point that I keep alluding to. We mistakenly call things cryptocurrency instead of crypto-assets. The realty is that most of what is in crypto is not a great medium of exchange. In fact, it is rather lousy.
Sure, I could pay a bookie with my brand new car and it might pay off my debt. That does not, however, make it a good medium of exchange. It is the same with most of these currencies.
Instead, LEO is the capture piece for the value of what is created within this ecosystem. It is your share, in relation to the whole, that allows you to have that value. Of course, the token does have other properties as the article spelled out. Here is where generating a return is within our reach.
The point here is that we, as individuals, can help to drive value to the token. We do this through our activity.
Unique Opportunity
How often do we have the ability to influence the direction of things we are involved in? This is especially true for investments.
If you own shares of [stock](@leoglossary/leoglossary-stocks in some company, can you have any influence? If you are a major shareholders, yes. But the average person, buy and hope.
It is also similar in the companies we work for. Depending upon the situation, we might have some say over how things go. That said, businesses are usually at the mercy of their customers. They are the ones who end up calling the shots.
This all changes with Leo. Here we can see how diving in and immersing ourselves in this has an impact. When the numbers go up, we see value being driven. This is the digital world where network effect is crucial.
Now people might have some insight into why I put the $150 million target out there.
It is something within our control. Obviously, we need growth to happen but that is up to us. We have the path in front of us if we choose to walk it.
The vision of Leo is solid but there is one caveat: it is up to everyone with Leo Power in their [wallets to bring to fruition. We cannot rely upon the project team.
