Very cool! A couple of thoughts come up, as I read this.

One of them being how this touches at the edge of the importance of niche communities. It is much easier to pitch a special interest of some kind to a groups of people whose niche you are already part of... and they are also more likely to listen and act, as well as more likely to follow someone they are familiar with.

Pitching a "general" social platform is a tougher sell... pitching a food site, a mental health site, an art site, a sports venue, a place about hobbies/antiques, a workout site... it's just a more effective approach (I feel) because you are approaching people who are already committed to their interest in that niche.

LeoFinance is a very targeted set of interests.

The other thought is that when you pitch a niche interest you are more likely to be approaching people with a built-in "niche loyalty." I watch this on Facebook... people who belong to pet/cat groups often belong to SEVERAL of them, but not necessarily to cooking or home improvement groups.

Hence, LeoFinance is also important to the entire Hive ecosystem as a "beacon" of how to create a successful niche community and draw people TO it.
