Before I proceed, I admit this is yet another leofinance hype post but I just can't help myself. If you hear the leo community speak about the project you'd think we were already at the top, when in reality we're still struggling to be perfectly honest in terms of adoption, value and user retention. This is despite what is arguably some of the strongest fundamental developments happening in the space.
One of the most significant measures of investment sentiment in the Leo token is its market capitalization. At just $1.5million it is still very much undercapitalized, and its actual value is even less encouraging presently valued at just seven cents. Yet the optimism about the future of this project remains very high that it seems ludicrous not to pay attention especially if you're in the Hive chain and are privy to have come across it early.
Slow and Steady
The one disadvantage of having such low figures is that it is easy to go unnoticed in this sentiment driven market. People are so quick to jump onto prices over substance that some of the projects getting attention don't even make any sense. A huge price rally will be a great way to get noticed, but that seems unlikely for the now.
Instead the leofinance team has chosen the less traveled path (in crypto) which is developing a strong proof of value that can be marketed out to the community. Many people just want to get rich quick off crypto and our motives are different. Yet it seems to me like this obvious long term approach is bound to pay off in the long term as blockchain technology takes shape.
As things currently stand though, there is from my perspective ZERO risk for any investor entering leofinance, especially if that investor is already in the Hive chain. The standard token of the community is the leo, and I think everyone should hold some either passively or actively. My point is that acquiring some leo is so easy and so cheap right now that it just wouldn't make sense to have heard about it but not have any in our portfolios.
For us the internal investors we are even more fortunate to be afforded opportunities to earn leo by just actively participating within the community space. Many aren't even taking advantage of this while some who have managed to earn the token have sold them off for next to nothing which is really sad. Should the project blossom the way we all wish, it'd be crazy to have been in the community for so long and not benefit.
Conclusion
There will come a time where those buying in tip the scale and the leo becomes very difficult to earn. Even if we buy in now it comes at almost no cost. Everyone should have some leo available and powered as there is no better time to build stake than now.
