3/ The reason for the failure is the lack of understanding of platforms and what network effects are. Most simply think of Metcalfe's Law and more users. This is true for social media (and also near unbreakable) but is only a piece.

My guess is their level of communication. Being out there in every way possible and building a loyal customer base
5/ Jobs and Cook understand platforms (or feel into it). The answer is in their design. Here is where the businesses on Hive fall short.
So, they've built something their customers want to use and keep using.
Nope, don't want to see LEO fail.
