You can jump right into HIVE faster than ever now because of LeoFinance. What's HIVE, you ask?
It seems like a silly question to those of us already here. Many took the crossroads of the hardfork when the HIVE blockchain veered away from Sun/Steem.
But it's no surprise that most people haven't ever heard of HIVE, what with the black-hole like forces of the mainstream social media conglomerate.
FB, Twitter, IG, and their ilk have a way of sucking people in and keeping them there. LeoFinance has been building a larger microphone so people can hear the message.
You don't have to spend anymore precious time being frustrated, angry, or censored on social media websites.
LeoFinance Streamlined Onboarding For Anyone With A Metamask Account
One of the biggest complaints about crypto has always been the difficulty level that exists for newcomers to understand and get involved.
Try opening an account with most any cryptocurrency project and it's anything but a simple process. First, there's a warning message telling you to save your keys and/or secure seed phrase before continuing.
Security is important, but it's probably not the highest priority for the newcomer with zero Hodlings. The newcomer who plans to invest heavily in cryptocurrency isn't just jumping right in. They've done their due diligence.
For the beginner who is just taking an interest in crypto, a monstrous onboarding process is a major turn off.
LeoFinance Onboarding In Two Clicks
Because LeoFinance is a second layer dApp that runs on the HIVE Blockchain, you'll also be joining HIVE in two clicks. Three if you count the click over to LeoFinance.io.
Here's how easy it is:
- Click the link to LeoFinance above.
- Click "Get Started" in the top right corner of the LeoFinance home page.
- Type in your chosen username and click "submit".
Congratulations! You are now a proud Leo and you've opened an account on HIVE. All in less than the time it takes to order fast food.
As a new user, your keys are stored safely on HIVE. When you're ready to start growing your Hodlings through investing or publishing content (or both), you can easily access your security information.
Moving From LeoFinance To The Main HIVE Blockchain
To borrow from LeoFinance:
Below the estimated account value, we allow the user to download the keys to the Hive account which LeoInfra created for them
That means that when a new user is ready to start Hiveing (which they do anyway when they publish on LeoFinance), they can jump right over to PeakD.com.
All they have to do is download their keys and PeakD will direct them to sign in with their safest option: the posting key.
From there, new members can explore HIVE and all it has to offer. They can publish to the blockchain on any of the HIVE front ends. PeakD is only of them.
Don't let this confuse you. Any developer can build a platform on HIVE. These are not second layer dApps (Decentralized Applications), but rather connect directly to the HIVE Blockchain.
HIVE Is The Sand - 2nd Layer Is The Adult Playground
Not adult in the sense that dApps are risque, although I think there is a dApp for just that.
Haha. I mean adult in the sense that 2nd layer dApps offer an incredible opportunity to Earn More Crypto!
dApps offer their own token which hold their own value against the HIVE coin. You can see all the different HIVE dApps along with their respective values by visiting the LeoDEX.
Another DEX that shows all the HIVE dApps is Hive-Engine.com. You can also find links that lead to the website of each different dApp.
Hivers love to publish on second layer dApps from HIVE by including them in their post tags. This can help you earn extra tokens from the HIVE dApp you tag, but posting from the dApp website often earns more of those token rewards.
For example, write a post on PeakD.com and tag LeoFinance. Anyone votes from people with Staked LEO tokens will reward you with LEO as well as HIVE. That post will also appear on the LeoFinance interface.
The opposite is to publish from LeoFinance which can earn you more LEO rewards. You post will still be published on HIVE and earn rewards in HIVE votes too.
Invest Or Develop Your Crypto Portfolio
This is the best part of it all. There is a second layer dApp to meet the interests of just about anyone who joins HIVE.
Like cooking and food? There's the Foodies Bee Hive.
How about about the guy only talk? Head over to the Man Cave and earn some BRO tokens.
The list goes on and on. Once you're invested or have built up your earnings over time, you might start trading on the LeoDEX.
Keeping an eye out for new dApps to invest in can make you a fortune. Many feel we're in the midst of watching LeoFinance accomplish exactly that. Mark me down as one of them.
Thanks for your time and as always...
