Hello, LEO! Am I Late To The Party?

The Leo Finance community is something that has been intriguing to me for quite some time. I've seen their projects unfold and the crypto noob in me just drowns in most of the ideas, terminologies and whatnots. What is clear to me though, is that they are adept in what they do and that they have a very promising outlook both for their platform and Hive as a whole.

Leo Finance has just recently launched a cross-blockchain account sign up for Metamask users and a lot more...

Introducing LeoInfra V1: MetaMask Onboarding for Hive Blockchain Accounts

Trying to "Wrap" My Head Around It

A few hours before the now infamous wLEO hack, I was literally immersed at the LeoPedia, trying to learn as much as I could about "wrapping Leo at Uniswap."

It was both enriching and overwhelming. The ETH blockchain, let alone Uniswap, is so complicated for me. Or I think I may have just not really spent more time exploring it...

Anyway, I did not have any ETH so I was not able to wrap any LEO, and of course was not affected by the hack.

Growing with LEO

I had earlier tried to get hold of some LEO tokens, some bought with Hive while I guess I had some from a couple of posts I have made here. I wasn't too keen on staking though, and when the price rocketed I sold my LEO so I could power up on Hive.

I honestly think there really isn't much I can share in terms of finance-related posts, so earning LEO through posting is a bit far off for me. Seeing the growth other users have made here over Hive though, and the developments and the Road Map, I have to explore other means to get involved in the Leo-World.

Still oblivious about the hack, I was hanging out at Hive Engine and saw the price of LEO had nose dived. I took this opportunity to buy a few tokens. Only then did I learn about the hack, but the community support and the integrity of the devs are evident, and I know that this small hiccup should not hurt what big things LEO would become.

Slowly but surely...

I am trying to stack up some LEO tokens. I start with staking what little LEO I have, but I delegated this to my other account so I could manually curate.

Leo Finance recently effected a Flat Curation curve which basically removes the disincentive manual curators lose from auto upvoters. More about this in their post - LEO Flat Curation Curve is Officially In Effect | Other Important Updates.

There's a lot of new things crypto and finance-wise, that I learn through this community, I enjoy reading them!

Apart from this, I also delegated a few Hive Power to @leo.voter, which rewards their delegators with LEO tokens. This is amazing considering that I also earn APR from the delegated Hive. I plan to stake my accumulated LEO tokens to give more Leo Power to my other curation account.

Things look promising in this community, both LEO Finance and Hive. I am happy to be part of it.

Let's do this!
