LeoFinance is a Hive success story and proof of what can be done on Hive. In fact, Hive's core purpose is to power layer 2 community, app, ecosystem building efforts.
Hive takes care of the decentralization part, for this reason I don't think there is any need to push Leo to decentralized system. It already is on a decentralized platform. Its goals can be achieved in a more efficient and effective manner as a centralized entity that is driven by decentralized community.
The relationship between LFT and LFE is actually amazing, and both are responsible for the success of Leo. What has been achieved so far wouldn't be possible if either LFT or LFE didn't exist.
Leo community is the most active one on Hive. You can clearly see this in my Hive rewards distribution report from few days ago. This has been consistent for a while now based on similar reports from six months ago and laster year.
The Foundation is a good idea. But I doubt decentralization should be focus, just because there is no need for it. Foundation itself will probably be a centralized entity, and perhaps even better that way. Such efforts will require a lot of work. I can see benefits of a Foundation. While LFT focus on innovating and building the tech, Foundation can focus on community relations, investor relations, user onboarding, etc. It will require some dedicated community members to volunteer.
One of the things I would suggest Foundation to work on is creating a corner on LeoFinance for high quality investigative journalism in crypto and finance world. Maybe even hiring journalists who would create daily news or investigations content. This combined with community content in decentralized fashion can be powerful. I can see LeoFinance becoming a The Wall Street Journal of crypto world.
I think LFT growing as a private/centralized company and building a successful and profitable brand is the right path, all while doing so in a synergy with a decentralized LFE community. This is a great model for future of the web.

This is one of the best ideas I have heard. If we could hire some writers with a good Twitter following and then have them share their articles on Twitter exposing LeoFinance to their audience, we could have a great deal of extra attention and credibility for the platform.
