LeoFinance Then and Now: 5 Memorable Developments that Happened

leofinance  then and now.png

I started blogging just a year ago but I can’t really remember exactly the date when I discovered the LeoFinance community. And, I’ve been a spectator in the community for maybe a month before I made my first post.

Looking back and comparing the LeoFinance community right after I’ve join as compared now, I would say that there’s a lot of interesting things that have happened.

But first,

How did I discovered the LeoFinance Community?

My first months of blogging was mainly centered only on Splinterlands. I remember seeing some posts with the #leofinance tag but was not interested as I have no idea.

There was this one time though, when I read a post (I can’t remember the author) related to Splinterlands that talked about how taskmaster4450's post, 10 ways to be successful on Hive, changed the authors views on Hive. I was curious enough to read it and it also altered my perspective on Hive. From there one, I was attracted to and started reading from the LeoFinance community.


So, what changed since I joined?

There has been a lot things that happened from the time I’ve joined that I am sure I cannot name them all. This is not a thorough list, but is definitely memorable on the eyes of a young cub. :)

Here are the 5 most memorable developments that happened since I joined the LeoFinance community.

From a Spectator to a Cub: Technical topics become Easier to Read.

I remember back then, reading about technical financial aspects of cryptocurrency from posts on LeoFinance is difficult for me grasp. I usually needed to do additional supplemental research to be able to understand it.

For the first few weeks, I've been spectating by reading and learning until @leogrowth posted a Leo Challenge for new cubs. I decided to participate to put to test what I have learned to far.

Since I’ve been on Splinterlands for quite a time, I decided to make a post on what I understand about their tokenomics. It is the very first post I made specifically for the LeoFinance community. I was so happy when I was one of the selected winners for the contest. I also got 50 Hive as a reward. :)

Nowadays, technical crypto subjects are not that hard to understand. There are still topics that are challenging for my mind, but it’s not as difficult to comprehend as before.

PolyCub Airdrop

Another thing that was around when I joined was the PolyCub airdrop. I bought a few CUB and BUSD back then and placed on the BUSD-CUB Liquidity Pool farm. Unfortunately, I was not able to claim any airdrop because I entered less than 1 month before the end of the drop. But no worries, I still earned a few CUBs in return.

screenshot from here.

The airdrop has already ended but I still have my CUB:BUSD position which is earning me a bit of CUB each day.

From LPUD to the LPUD Badge

Another significant event that I have encountered is the LPUD challenge that was announced by @leogrowth at Jun 4, 2022.

LPUD contest is still around, but there was no badge the first time I ran across it.

I was excited when they announced the first ever LPUD Badge less than a month ago. Unfortunately, I forgot to accumulate enough LEO for the recent LPUD. I decided not to power up the liquid LEO that I have. Instead, I will add it to whatever I can accumulate for the upcoming LPUD. :)


Leo Power Up Day Badge from HiveBuzz


I did not know at that time, that the minimum LEO to be powered up to claim the badge was only 10 LEO. But again, no worries as I can claim the badge when I will participate next month.

By the way, if you're new to the community and wanted to participate, prepare to power up at least 150 LEO (this may change) by 15th day of every month. For more information, you can follow @leogrowth to be notified of the details of the upcoming LPUD.

Selected winners of the LPUD contest will be delegated a dolphin size amount of LEO that they can use to earn more LEO. Anyone who participated that will not be selected will still be a winner as they can earn through their Leo Power.

LeoThreads: From Long Content to Short Content

The Hive community, in general, preferred content that has more than 300 words. This changed when the LeoThreads was introduced. With LeoThreads, it is now normal to see short sentence content. As of now, it is only possible to read and create threads under the LeoFinance community which can be found here.

leothreads.png
screenshot from here.

To mark the successful deployment of the LeoThreads, there was a ThreadStorm contest back on August 4, 2022 after it went live.

BHBD & BHIVE Farms on CubFinance

hbd and hive farms.png
screenshot from here

This is another important move that was spearheaded by the LeoFinance community. From what I understand, this pool aims to stabilize the price of Hive & HBD and prevent what happened to TerraLuna from happening to Hive. At the time of writing, the current BHBD:BHIVE liquidity is $73,555 USD which I think is still low. We need more liquidity providers to protect our HBD and HIVE.

If you wanted to help bolster our defenses by providing additional liquidity, check out the farm here. You will be rewarded with CUBs by proving liquidity.


These are just 5 of the many things that have happened or developed by the LeoFinance community. I can be more thorough and discuss them all here but the one's I've listed here are the most memorable for me. I presented it from a perspective of a young cub after observing the leaders of the pack.

RAWR!!!


The Future

It is no doubt that LeoFinance is one of the most active community within Hive. From the number of developments that I’ve seen and experience, I have high expectations from the community. As they are continuously developing and bringing new things into existence, I will not wonder if one day the following would be next:

  1. A Crypto Genre Game that can educate the users on the financial aspect of cryptocurrency.

  2. A Dedicated LeoThreads App - The idea came from niallon11. But I think we need to rebrand it if we're going to advertise it outside of Hive. If birds tweet then lions either Purr or Rawr.


Thank you for taking your time to read my post.
Have a great day ahead. :)

Glad you decided to come aboard the den as well after being a spectator for a while (I did the same thing, lol!) Now we get to learn a bit more each day.

It's amazing how the LeoVerse progresses and developments keep rolling. Sorry that you missed the first LPUD badge but just like you said, you will have it on the next :) All the best to you as you #rawr around the den!

I've read the 150 first too and then I encounter the badge being awarded for powering up less than 100. So I check it on the HiveBuzz profile and this is what I've found.

You are welcome to engage anytime. Don't be shy. They would be very happy to have you. 😊

I see most of your post are focused on games, try making a more financially focused post when you have the time. For the main time, try reading on some of the post, I am sure that you will learn a thing or two. 🙂

Don't worry, they #RARW!!! but they won't bite.

This is amazing, generally speaking I think we could integrate a more stable mobile app, which should be marketable. Then we can work on polycub. Then working towards better ad revenue to boost the price and also better Incentives for powering up as well.

For the mobile app, I hope we can make the login process with the active key more easier.
And it's been a long time since I've heard any major development on PolyCub that could drive the value up.

I believe that if we can also develop more the LeoThreads and then market it then we can pickup more users which can increase the demand for Cub and PolyCub.

Dear @thecuriousfool,
May I ask you to review and support the Dev Marketing Proposal (https://peakd.com/me/proposals/232) we presented on Conference Day 1 at HiveFest?
The campaign aims to onboard new application developers to grow our ecosystem. If you missed the presentation, you can watch it on YouTube.
You cast your vote for the proposal on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.

Thank you!

I've thought about looking into Leo twice today... then dreemport brings me to your post! It must be a sign 😂

Sorry to be ignorant, but participating in LPUD would be staking Leo tokens, is that right? Or is there Leo Power on Leofinance like there is HP?

Thanks for the very informative and detailed post, I've opened some of your links to check out after I leave here 😁

It may really be the final sign. 😁
You can check and read those topics that interest you. If there's something you don't understand then just ask a question. 😊

About the LPUD, you will need to stake (power up) Leo to participate.

LEO is a second layer token built on Hive. And it works very similar with HP. The difference is that you will be rewarding and earning a LEO token (based on your Leo Power) to a post with a #leo or #leofinance tag that you upvoted.

You can buy LEO tokens on Tribaldex or using the Liquidity Pool and power them up on your Hive-Engine wallet.

Just ask drop question if there is something that you don't understand, I will try to answer them the best that I can. 😊

Thank you so much for being friendly and willing to help others along, that's amazing :)

I went and made an account after I commented earlier, and I noticed my post screen is empty except for one post I reblogged that was on Leo... Does that mean other fronts ends see Leofinance, but Leo doesn't see them? I can see how that would make good sense if so, since its tokenized.

Which brings me to my next question- if I utilize threads, how does that show on other front ends? Am I correct in thinking it just doesn't?

Thank you again- I'm just dipping my toes into tokens now that I've been here a handful of weeks, awesome people like you make that less daunting 😁

You don't have to make another Hive account to join the LeoFinance community. Your current Hive account will work just fine. But you are free to make another account specifically for Leo. 😊

Does that mean other fronts ends see Leofinance, but Leo doesn't see them?

From what I understand, we can only see our own posts under the "posts" tab that we've published using their front-end.
Posts that have the #leo or #leofinance tag that we've reblog will appear on our "blog" tab.
And all posts that have #leo or #leofinance tag, regardless where it was published, will appear in their home page.

Which brings me to my next question- if I utilize threads, how does that show on other front ends? Am I correct in thinking it just doesn't?

As of now, and as far as I know, it doesn't. But, it is still being developed so they might appear on other communities in the future. Though, I think that it still depends on the other communities if they want to integrate it on their front-ends.
I am seeing a lot of potential with this threads. 😊

Sorry I misspoke, what I should've said is that I logged in to LEO with my account haha :)

Thank you again for all the help, I bought my first 100 LEO today! From what I can see, Leo is financially geared- go figure leoFINANCE, so I probably won't post there much (I'm a fantasy writer) but it seems the thread feature is more open ended, so I plan to participate in that! Cheers to you 😁

A useful article, Ryan - you reminded me about Leopud... I will try to do that this month although I will need to buy Leo to do so. I have never tried using the pools. At some point I will... I just don't really know much beyond that you generally have to invest the same amount into each paired coin? I also tend to write more creative pieces and generally take a few days to write one so I publish on average 3 times a week between fiction and Dreemport challenges and the odd specific communities that I enjoy... I will take a look at leogrowth... so thanks for the tips! !PIZZA

Thank you for reading and finding my article useful.

About the Liquidity Pools, you can use it to convert your coin/token into another coin/token without having to use the market - e.g. from HIVE (Swap.Hive) to LEO.

You only need to provide liquidity (e.g. amount of HIVE and LEO of the same price on the HIVE:LEO pool) if you want to invest in it. You will be earning a portion of the fees that was collected from traders who used the pool.

Feel free to ask questions about liquidity pools, I will try to answer them the best that I can. 😊

hehehe this is a great post!!! I love to see when people take the leap and join into new communities! It's really encouraging to see someone start to understand more and more crypto just by reading posts! I remember hearing that if someone would read the NY Times from front page to back page - over 10 years - it would be the equivalent of earning a bachelor's degree - with the amount of learning they've accumulated! hehehe

I guess you are well on your way to earning your Leo degree!!!! hehehe

What I knew only about Leo finance was that "it's a community where contests about crypto are held "🤣 or about the Leo threads 😂 kidding for fun. I am thinking to implement some tips from your side but I would need to do some research on it. Good to see this in dreemport.

LOL.
There are indeed contests but you will also learn a few things if you do read one or more of the articles.
But, yes, we do have to do our own research.

Btw, I invite you to the lions den to see it for yourself. Don't worry, the lions #rawr but they don't bite? 😁
