I sense that what's really at play here is that LEO group realize that it's a tough task to keep afloat in this shaky crypto environment. By getting behind SPK project and proposal it gains Leo "good guys points" for possibly a future Leo project lifeline proposal.

Leo and Hive aren't joint at the hip in price. Hive price isn't even joined at the hip to Hive platform or "dapp synergy" so that was again priming Hive users to think proposals to save projects are a necessity or vital to Hive health.

SplinterLands shows that projects and "dapps" are their own success and the only commonality they'll have with other projects is that they will all utilize Hive Blockchain to an extent.

Maybe that's the reality of things during this reformation in crypto. That the only thing that speaks to potential users, investors and growth numbers is the development of tangible web3 tools, utilities, systems and interactions to sustain the social backbone: HUMAN INTEREST.

NO MORE thinking only verbal promises to be amazing but then months and years of little change is a smart approach.

Bottom line:

If your project is so superior then while it's cheaply priced you should be getting good user uptake and investor money.

If you're NOT, then maybe it's time to look at things with more scrutiny. Your relevance and existence depends on it.
