The way LeoFinance has been able to establish itself as a stand-alone affinity group (which, I guess is more correctly referred to as a ‘tribe’) is a testament in and of itself to the power of Hive as a decentralization powerhouse. We need dozens of similarly tight-knit autonomous tribes operating within the Hive ecosystem.
I have been saying this since day 1 but unfortunately don't have the shills to do it myself. The fastest way for hive to grow is with upgraded tribes that are a clone of LeoFinance and the benifits that it offers. A token, easy onboarding, good ui, in built ad revenue.
I've said it to @aggroed many times about pushing the tribes up to this level and making it quick and easy to launch our own tokenised communities. It looks as if he might be doing a bit more with them now but they haven't improved since they first launched.
If anybody could launch a sports community with all of those features and no need for technical skills we could focus on recruitment and marketing. I would like to start an Irish tribe and that has a target market of millions but it needs to be a matter of editing rather than coding. That is the tipping point. I have almost 4 years here and have seen some great strides to improve the system so still have my long term attitude to hive.
I would have just love to see aggroed focus more on upgrading tribes which had the biggest potential to grow the eco system exponentially rather than some of the other projects he pushed with no outside appeal.
I like the sound of your experiment and will be watching eagerly. Hive will explode at some stage, it's only a matter of time with the projects we see getting built now.
Ease of use takes time to build but things are moving in the right direction.
