When the hell PROJECT BLANK?
Seriously I feel all you Leo people are dreaming of riches too much. Leo needs a much much bigger audience because dens, farms, kingdoms, waddlepools for 1000MAU is fragile.. regardless of TVL. Crossing fingers that userbase will magically explode is not a good plan.
As it is, it looks like blogging on anything other than CUB has dropped off. Leo needs to deliver opportunity for the third world and the less privileged and in future become a chain that can truly disrupt the stranglehold that people in those regions of the world experience under the current fiat system.
As you said, people can quickly move on to the next shiny toy. Your short, medium and long term vision all speaks of simple yield farming catering to money dreamers only. Piggybacking onto other chains rather than dominating so that users see it as a MUST to be exclusively part of the Leo system/community.
One measure of Leo health was comments but that seems to have lowered. Maybe that shiny toy is all that people care about now?
to be fair we've been working on the social media side of things for the longest time and it hasn't yielded the best of results. plus these projects require funding and people which is something we don't have in abundance.
creating financial tools can be an easy way to get more people involved in the leofinance ecosystem. it is the in-thing now. rather than bet against trend you follow them and create your unique projects along the way
there is a small projectblank-like initiative on leo - leotalks. how many community members are utilizing it? what is even the guarantee that projectblanket will get huge patronage? it is all in theory.
but look at it this way: if cub kicks off well enough and attracts a lot of people we can lure these people into other leo related projects. Apple uses this type of strategy--creating an ecosystem that is all-encompassing.

Indeed, almost only CUB content. We urgently need to diversify the content to be interesting for the masses that we want.

Generally, I agree with this sentiment. This post was mainly me clearing out the cobwebs having not posted for a month. I'm usually focused on other crypto projects, but CUB has been my primary focus since it launched, and I think it is natural to some extent that people want to write about the new project or development from their favorite platform. It'll fade back in time, and hopefully more outward looking content about other things will shine through again.
This was my first CUB post, and first LEO related content for months, and it'll probably be months again before I revist internal topics.

That's actually well said.
What I'm hoping for tho, is that Hive marketing campaign will help us onboard critical mass for exponential growth. So, I may be a dreamer as well, but at least I'm holding to something tangible.
However, Leo Team seems relentless and the amount of projects they delivered in 1 year has earned some credibility. And while I'm not arguing we're even close to becoming mainstream, but we can all agree such tectonic moves happen rather quickly and exponentially.

Hey, thanks for the input and balance. I agree, this post was me dreaming a bit, and your points are all valid. Cub is the shiny new toy for now, and it is natural that people want to talk about it. This was my first CUB post, and probably my last for quite a while. I'll go back to talking about Akash and Thorchain and other projects, which is what most of my content usually is.
Yes my post was heavily angled at yield farming, but in my defense it is a post about CUB specifically, not really LEOFinance itself. ProjectBlank will be great when it finally arrives. I understand many people getting frustrated with the delays, but I have no idea at all about development, and can only imagine how long it took to build twitter, and then to try and replicate that on a blockchain, sounds pretty hard to me.
Some of the ideas I floated in this post may happen, or all of them, or none at all and I'm way off the mark... But any of that is ok, this post is my dreams, not necessarily Khal's.
Thanks for your comment, seems there is still plenty of engagement on LEO - this post gathered so many comments while I was at work, feels pretty lively to me.
I appreciate your perspective.
