We often discuss the idea of a complex organic system which is what decentralized communities are. This is something radically different for most people. It is taking a while for things to come together on Hive. Nevertheless, we are starting to see some results.
What is even more telling is what we are seeing with Leofinance. Through this platform, we are seeing a couple ideas coming to the surface.
We have:
- people adopting the ownership mindset
- the understanding of a cooperative is starting to bleed through and how it is the future
Both are these are built around the power of decentralization. With an ecosystem like this, we can see where people are free to jump in and contribute where they can.
This will have profound effects down the road.
It Takes A Community
There is a lot of discussion of late on getting Leofinance ranking within the search engines. We all know how important organic traffic is to the growth of a site. For this reason, members such as @forexbrokr,
@hitmeasap, and
@finguru have posted numerous articles about optimization and doing things to help the ranking.
The bottom line is these three individuals cannot do it on their own. Instead, it takes hundreds of people spreading links around. Many do not seem to be doing this. As I write this article, there are already 5 links to Leofinance content.
So how can we make this easier and improve on things?
This was the thought process that brought me to @leoglossary. The idea is to have links based upon basic cryptocurrency and financial terms that everyone can use.
It is the same concept that makes Investopedia and Wikipedia so powerful. It is common to find them at the top of many searches simply because those sites carry so much weight.
What is amazing is that Hive is the ideal place for something like this. It is a decentralized, permissionless database. Why not take advantage of it.
You can read the introduction of LeoGlossary to get caught up on the idea.
Build It And Built On Top Of It
The base structure is rather simple.
We simply have a Main Menu with the different terms and their links. From there, one simply clicks on what is desired and it takes to a page with a definition or description of the term.
Here is what it looks like:
This is where things get very interesting. None other than @khaleelkazi himself picked up on the idea and is going to add to it.
One of the keys is to get people to use this to generate links. He offered up the ideal solution which he is going to run by the developers.
Isn't that an amazing idea?
According to his thought process, type in Proof-of-Work and you will get a pop up providing the associated link.
This would allow each post or comment to have links inserted in them easily. What does that do for the ranking if most people were linking the majority of posts and comments on here?
Also, what is essentially happening is that we are building the database and the development team will tap into it.
Notice this link to Bitcoin. Not only was there a quick writeup, but we also have a couple of articles linked that were applicable to the topic.
This is how massive expansion can occur.
If more people start projects that can help to push things forward, others will be able to take them and integrate them in other ways.
Anyone who is holding Leo Power is part owner in the ecosystem.
It is time all started to act upon that.
