One of the nice things about Hive is the way different projects get funding and the value they add to the whole ecosystem. As some of the projects succeed, others will like to try similar strategies and they will get rewarded by the community if they do a good job. Token distribution used in the 3Speak network was analyzed to inspire Holozing, yes they decided to use a different approach but the previous experience helped them decide their own. Every new project adds up to the ecosystem. This is the beauty of launching a new project in a community-owned blockchain compared to other chains.
Yes! Even the failed projects have added valuable lessons, that have led to the next iterations.
