This is the most effective way to earn rewards. Join a community of like-minded people who share the same interest as you and your content will have better engagement, better rewards and it will be easier to get noticed - especially as a new/small author. This solves many of the problems that Hive faces.

That is the clear and undeniable truth.

Hive needs to finish SMTs. There is just no other road that makes sense. It's an absolute necessity in order to grant the ability to build networks that can migrate and maintain collectives from all over the web.

The onboarding is at least finally realised here as needing to be a simple 'username and password' or phone sms verification. That is what attracts entire groups because it's a no brainer to say "ok I'll try this platform out" or "ok I'll use this app that I'm hearing buzz about."

The way so many Blockchain projects expect users to understand or even have interest in Blockchain is a clear turn off that so many coder nerds stubbornly ignore. It's almost an elitist arrogance that they live by "well if they're too dumb to get it then it's their loss." Yet they then push spam on Twitter thinking they're doing people favours.

LEO now exists as a champion of 'tribes/second layer system' and a solid example to model if SMT projects were in effect. Then if a new "boom project" arises then that could be another model and so on. That would generate healthy competition between projects/teams/communities too. As is currently, people in their respective communities really don't care what's happening outside of their bubble.

Keeping the underlying rewards of Hive could then be morphed into the stable asset of this chain and things like DHF could exist as a 'Central Bank' that projects can both utilize as a loan system and as a way to grow the overall value of Hive. Investors could then come in and either play a "hands on" approach to build projects with SMT or simply park their wealth in the DHF and receive a return from the collective growth of all SMT projects.

Anyway, well done LEO!
Although Hive heads aren't supportive or entering the discussion, I'm sure they're paying attention. The token price movement can't be ignored. That after all, is the 'holy grail' of crypto.
