I think they built a strong base to avoid problems when the mass production will come.

This is true... but the word 'when' should be replaced with 'if' in my opinion. This is the only reason I see it as a gamble. Hive, and steem for that matter, have massive hurdles to get over to bring massive amounts of people onboard from the mainstream. I hope that it happens tho 🙂

As to leo, yes it has seen great gains in price. And it is also a fine example of how to build a community that has a strong value proposition.

🤞 for hive to only move up from now on. I think that if/when we see some upward momentum on the hive/bitcoin charts will signal big things in regards to price.
