When Steem Engine launched i was someone that was skeptical about the performance of those tokens. Their use cases being too similar to Steem and not really offering much beyond that.

As expected most of them withered away and died off with only a few left standing. Those that differentiated themselves the most from the original chain they stemmed from.
Im actually quite impressed with the development of a few of them. One ofc being @steemleo or @leofinance as its called now.
They went their own unique way and its starting to look as if its payed off. LEO went 5x in a matter of days and theres even rumors about a listing happening soon.

Tokens like this that arent simply clones of Hive are the tokens that you can build an ecosystem around. Ecosystems like that of Ethereum or EOS.

Take another example. DEC. The in-game currency of @splinterlands. Its use case is wholly different then that of most other H-E tokens.
Now, i can say im a bit biased here but i consider Splinterlands by far the best dapp ive yet tried in crypto.
Even when compared to games that got funded with tens of millions of dollars like Gods Unchained on Ethereum, Splinterlands is far superior.
That game has turned out into a complete mess with its poorly thought out economics. Its unbalanced and its market being so slow that i still have some 50-60$ worth of cards i left behind since selling anything there is a pain in the neck.

DEC ofc is a inflationary token but it seems that they have figured out how to keep the inflation at a manageable level. imo, still some improvement needed.

With more folks coming to Splinterlands and with the new expansion that will add a lot of new mechanics as well as incentives to hold DEC i feel the price could finally enter a growth phase. Something that has already started.
With so many people talking about Splinterlands on twitter, with the listing on DappRadar it was bound to happen sooner rather then later.

For those reasons i purchased about 350k DEC that ill hold for the land airdrop that should happen later this year with the expansion release.
The question atm is when will Aggroed and Matt make the move towards listing DEC on a external exchange. Im sure that has already been discussed internally.
