Trust is a crucial factor that is overlooked. Without that, most projects, wherever they are, will have a tough time.
That said, the advantage Hive does have is all the different projects feed into it. Thus, if we have a bunch of applications like Leo, all pulling in people from the outside, then the totality of that growth is actually on Hive.
Each time we post a comment, no matter what the UI, it ends up on Hive. So on Leo, we are pushing for 1,000 comments a day: Hive does a ton more than that. However, in totality of the number of people as well as the token circulation, it needs a great deal more.
