It is sometimes hard to believe it has only been a year @taskmaster4450!.

All other things aside, "something" happened when Hive was created, and then again when the HF removed any old threads to Steem. It was as if all those who'd been noodling ideas around in their heads for four years and then would think "Yeah, but STEEMIT... I'm just not inspired" suddenly woke up from their collective slumbers and apathy and felt like they had gotten the green light to do something about their plans and projects.

I am continuing to hold that Communities are what will drive Hive forward; LeoFinance is merely a sort of trailblazer for what can be done... in time, other niche communities will follow; a few are already "in the wings," making their own starts. Maybe base layer Hive will gradually move into the background as primarily a framework for other things... although I am sure people will always create content on the main chain.

I see a future innovation for @peakd's interface, allowing users to view content "through the eyes" of different communities... a drop down menu with choices, and "view content via LeoFinance," for example. We may love decentralization, but the bulk of the world is trained to look for all-in-one convenience, hence aggregation features are needed.
