Why We Need 'Project Blank' More Than Ever...

A few things happened to me today that made me sit back and realize a few things about this amazing blockchain we all call home...

Yes, this will be another one of my 'I can't wait for #projectblank' posts and if you have tuned into any of the Crypto Maniacs podcasts with @taskmaster4450 and yours truly, you'll know we're both massive fan boys of this project!

But before I get into my 'excitement' let me go over why I'm feeling more bullish than ever for this application.

Reason #1 - The LeoFinance Mobile App Launch

Announced earlier today, we've got a set time and date for the launch of the highly anticipated mobile app from the LEO team!

In less than 48 hours, we'll get a taste of what potential will come with #projectblank and I'm here for it :)

I'm even more excited because it's launching in iOS (yes, I'm an Apple fan boy too lol)

But here we are...A MASSIVE step towards every day adoption for not only LEO but also the Hive eco-system as well.

I can't wait to test this out and use it every day to interact with all the amazing people in this community!

Reason #2 - Noise.Cash's Lack Of Direction

I learned about Noise.Cash months ago from the LEO community. This project was a taste of what we all expected when it came to micro-blogging content in a crypto and blockchain environment.

Based on Bitcoin Cash, it's a centralized service that has a sole agenda...Create a use case for BCH and while at times they seem to look down on other blockchains, they've generally allowed the platform to become a 'Twitter' for crypto.

But their recent updates have left a lot in the Noise community scratching their heads. Again, it's not a blockchain and they are self-funding the 'tipping' that happens on the platform but it just seems like they are changing their approach to the management of the funds and how people are rewarded on the platform.

We really are spoiled here on Leo and Hive...

Because of the way the rewards pool on both Leo and Hive are set up, we don't need to reply on tips. And if you have the stake, you can send out what you want to the people creating here on the chain!

Which Brings Me To....

I love Noise. Mostly because I'm a huge fan of Twitter.

Of all the traditional social media platforms, Twitter is the one that has never been able to be duplicated on a blockcain.

YouTube - Meh...I'll take @threespeak all day, everyday over it!

Facebook - Please, give me Hive or LEO...Heck, I'd even hang out in Torum before I'd go back to Facebook and actually care about the content there lol

What I'm saying is....Twitter is unique. It's perfect for short form content and big time engagement and a lot of us here believe #projectblank will be the answer we've been looking for.

And if the launch of Leo's mobile app goes the way I think it will, we are in for a MASSIVE end to 2021 and into 2022 for this blockchain.

We need a Twitter option and it has to be on a blockchain. As we have seen with Noise, there is a huge market for this kind of application but when it's not decentralized and / or on a blockchain...

We might as well just stay on Twitter.

#projectblank can't come soon enough!!!

But for now, I'm going to REALLY enjoy the mobile app launch this week ;)
