TLDR: my top THREE is:
2, 4, 6
...OK here's my breakdown of the entire list, I will put it in 3 categories with notes on each....
1. THE GOOD: 2, 4, 6, 8 (and/or 7)
I like 2, wrapped LEO, it was going very well for us before the hack, and indeed we (SPEW Pool) got really lucky with the hack. But it shows great potential.
4 is also awesome, works wonders for SPI and a similar strategy has been a big selling point for LBI. DO IT!!! 😹🤣
6 DEFI, well, that is the buzzword of the decade in Crypto, and using SSUK's genius and the collective guidance of the community I believe it will be another HOME RUN.
8,7 Staking and Staking Market... do the staking until the Market can be set up, these are both attractive and make lots of coin in all other applications!
2 THE (potentially) BAD: 1, 3
1 Miners have a mixed reputation, Neoxian bought all his back at the time of the HIVE Migration. I don't know all of his reasoning, but in retrospect he said it was not the best for his community. So IMO it requires caution, but at least it's MLEO and MMLEO which again, the underlying asset being top-notch, well, that helps everything. But ALL Miners I have seen have experienced "PDR" or Point of Diminishing Returns. Then the value drops on the resale markets. Just another point to be aware of...
3 DIVIDEND HE Tokens: I really have a high level of skepticism here, I have dropped my level of personal involvement on HIVE to basically LEO. Plus a single side-chain token called MYK but it originated off the Hive System and is not dependent on Hive at all, if HIVE disappears tomorrow then MYK goes on. BUT AS FAR AS HE Tokens, LEO is my one and only. I like EDS but it's totally hive based, hive paid, and hive staked. So if (when?) Hive goes "tits up" then EDS (and presumably BRO too) are Toast. SPI is very secure as most of it's holdings are off chain (BTC and USDT, last I knew) If we can find something on HE that is well insulated like SPI and LEO, then I say "let's see".
3 THE UGLY:
5 Crypto Gaming on HIVE is crap. I know some have made out with Steem Monsters cards and I believe that is great, for individuals. But there is no inherent value to it. Look at it this way, we are already VERY FAR REMOVED from Real Value here in Crypto. (but it is evolving, don't get stuck on this point, OK?) REAL MONEY is SILVER, GOLD, Copper and physical coinage. FIAT is "paper money" and to be blunt, it's shit. 💩💩💩 Plus we have all forms of derivatives on FIAT. CRYPTO is an attempt to at least bring a modicum of control back to the PEOPLE similar to Silver and Gold. We HOLD IT and we OWN IT. But Crypto is still evolving, and some view it as a 4th level form of money... then we are working on a 5th level, TOKENS. Not the actual "bitcoins" or even Hive, but a Hive Token, and 6th level we are talking about a "gaming system token" on a derivative system of exchange. IF ALL THIS IS NOT BAD ENOUGH, We have Steem Monsters/Splinterlands/wtfe now TOTALLY SATURATING THR SYSTEM. On the Steem Engine Discord channel, Aggroed announced his latest and it got several middle fingers, several POO and only like 1 positive reaction. Even the gaming lackeys are getting JADED. Sorry peeps, but even the faithful are looking like they are sick of the dilution of the gaming markets. MOREOVER, I've never seen the gaming tokens (DEC for example) gain any real value. This farm stuff "maybe" but in the end, the main winners will be the issuers of the 7th Level Derivative TOKENS.
IMO, the state of the gaming is abysmal, as far as investment goes. LEO as a community is smarter than this... I did see the 1-2% on this SSUK, bravo there, but IMO it's about 3-5% too much 😹😹 Gaming is cool, but as investments go, 👎👎👎

some of the names were the usual ass-kissers 🤣🤣🤣
