What is your familiarity with the term RTFM? I was increasingly made familiar with the term as I use Linux and other open source software more. The reason I brought this up is due to the reason that there is very little to talk about or surprised about LEO Ads and most of the other features that are being developed.
There is no need to be active on Discord or be following @khaleelkazi and other related accounts. There isn't even a need to be an insider of the project. All you need to do is RTFM. Any newcomer that joined today can get a sneak peak into the future of @leofinance right now. Few things could be out of date and some other things can be changed as development happens. INLEO is the most rapidly evolving front end on HIVE. I call it the Arch Linux of HIVE.

I saw this page months ago. The documentation of INLEO is very good. They are not very technical in nature and any intelligent person can easily follow along and understand the value of what is being built on HIVE.
Docs are Filled With Great Talking points
We should use these more in our marketing materials and social media more. Whoever wrote these did an excellent job breaking everything down to a complete beginner without oversimplifying things. Oversimplification leads to creation of false narratives and it provide cover for many fishy activities. I would call this one of the reasons behind why other attempts at decentralized social media failed.
What you see above are only a few samples. I will share the link again to read the INLEO Docs. There is no excuse to not be informed. Ads and subscriptions will soon be a part of everyday life. In case you are not a HIVE user yet, create your account now or login with Google/X account. If you are interested in exploring the maximum number of options, this is the place to be.
8 Software Wallets + 1 Hardware Wallet
A mature decentralized ecosystem provides the users with many options. Users can find the most suitable option/s for their needs. What makes things even better is that any tool facing trouble does not bring down HIVE as a whole. HIVE is antifagile. We became even stronger after facing Justin Sun's hostile takeover with centralized exchanges powering up user funds.
What is Going on With Tron
There are few missing details in the video with the main one being a lack of mention regarding EOS. Tron is best compared with EOS than Ethereum and EOS is a general purpose version of HIVE with Wasm (WebAssembly) smart contracts. Theoretically code can be written in any programming language and compiled to WebAssembly. Have you looked in to what Koinos is doing? We already have smart contract platform built on HIVE by @vsc.network and it should be possible to fork the open source code of Tron, EOS, Koinos etc. and adopt it to our needs.
HIVE has proven that the biggest moat of an open source blockchain project is the Layer 0 (the community). If we onboard enough developers and provide them with enough funding, getting back into Top 100 marketcaps should definitely be doable.
Anything You Want Built on HIVE
The best part is that @vsc.network is using many tools that are developed independently by parties that that have millions or even billions of dollars to invest. I do not think we should embrace EVM. A Virtual Machine was needed for what Ethereum wanted to accomplish. WebAssembly only managed to get their Minimum Viable Product (MVP) out in 2017. Now that we have a superior VM developed with the help of trillion dollar companies, we can opt to use exactly that to enable general purpose smart contracts on HIVE.
A person like Justin Sun does not understand the value of taking a risk and embracing innovation. There is a limit to the success that can be had by copying others. Tron is a slower EOS with better marketing. If we manage to nurture our developers enough, there is a real chance for HIVE to overtake Tron.
