RE: Copying The Leofinance Model

Good post man and I agree that LEO is a prime example to emulate. However I wouldn't be jumping the gun thinking that Hive could cater to established fanbases out of the box.

What I would believe would make that boom by guaranteeing highest user retention would be to integrate their already utilized membership credentials/details as account creation/logins. Even if those users are going to have email, the superior way is to use what their own fanbase utilises. So that they can transition seamlessly.

The other important thing is how those users are kept on Hive and how they stay connected to their network. I would never onboard masses and tell them to download discord for that. It completely paints the Hive platform as unfinished and inferior. So a robust chat and contacts system here is a must (not so easy to code) since I would only see that as a mobile app to be taken seriously (not the beechat way to peg it to a website or frontend).

Until these two fundamentals are part of Hive then I don't think just copying LEO will be enough because LEO is full of ALREADY CRYPTO heads so naturally they're here for good reason and are OK with discord communications and also that 'sign in with metamask' is seamlessly to them. Outside communities however won't be that committed or knowledgeable so they won't be ok with that fragmentation.

Once Hive has those tools at the ready, then definitely LEO can be mirrored and for a fee, LEO could even offer it as a setup service. Time to get serious on those missing elements as the heads moving Hive forward though. Without a toolset by the base chain, LEO might just be the exception and Hive destined to fade away into obscurity.
