Recently, I've been watchful of what tokens I lay off on the markets, and Leo tokens has been seeing much more going to stake than embracing the markets, this had a couple of reasons that's not so biased. There's something about developments, the ones liable to have the most impacts are mostly not seen, told or written of. So, apparently, this is to point out a few expectations I believe would follow the developments on ground.
I love the idea of building bridges. If you look at companies like Airbnb, Uber, Facebook, and even Google, this one does a job that pretty much everyone ignores. I don't assume a lot of people know that Google isn't the internet, most uninformed individuals see it as the internet, why? Because it has built a bridge to literally everything! It's just a search engine, but the way it is structured has made it look bigger than what it really is!
Now let's talk about a few other companies mentioned above. Companies like Uber, rendering transport services without really owning that many cars. It probably owns no car as a company, but look how compliments head back home to Uber, rather than the car owners… This is because Uber has been able to build a system that offers a service, call it a solution without actually owning or building those solutions, it's just a channel. Same thing with Airbnb, this company literally took the small scale "Agent business" to a whole new level.
You're looking to rent an apartment? Where Airbnb got you, it has listings all over the globe but doesn't really own real estate, now, isn't that wild? It's all about being a channel, bridging systems and networks, this is the ideal business that most times, places you above the actual system builders and owners…
What Does The Leo Economy Look Like?
I see Leo as a bridge builder and there's pretty much more to it then we currently have. As the industry at large grows, so does Leo expand its reach, that's the idea, bridging home traffic and building a channel to explore tools out there, respectively!
Ok, look at this. Leo doesn't own Hive, but it has built a system that offers tools to collect data from the hive blockchain. Speaking of hivestats.io, this is a bridge making collecting of data much easier than digging the blocks and doing series of calculations, so in a way, it's a quantum creation? Too much?
Ok how about Leo Twitter and the recently released Facebook bridge? We can all agree that recently, signing up for hive is really difficult, in most cases, you end up paying to have an account! The free versions like 3speak and Ecency have recently become stiff, during my act of referring, people complained about this, with Ecency you get told of having a low IP score, now I wonder, is Ecency tracking user data now? What's up with the IP shit?
However, with 3Speak, you have to publish a video before getting your keys, now that's not really fair for what we all supposed to be a free network? Why should people be forced to show their faces in order to get their keys? Nope, I don't support that! That said, Leo is currently the only system that makes signing up for hive easy, it takes like 1 minute to get through. So in this sense, it's a channel where people can pass through to have the solutions made available on the hive blockchain.
Even when we look at the bridges on Binance, soon Poly and Thorchain, Leo doesn't own Binance, but it's giving leofinance users a channel to grow an income in that space. It's literally acting with major networks. Maybe interoperability is so underrated that people don't understand it's merits.
Building bridges enables you to expand your reach, without actually building new networks at every stage. This is how the economy of Leo evolves, the more bridges it builds, the more value it creates for the users down here and the traffic it's bringing back home… Are you involved yet ?
