sounds like you understand the inns and outs of this place! that is good to know..
layer two tokens YES i have heard about them.. but don't yet understand what its all about.. i did just spot a video link to something so maybe i better check it out and find out what going on...
and yes i understand the issue with promoting hive as a place to get rewarded.. if it gets popular and no one invests then its gonna flop! steem monsters is a good use example i think of how that can turn around though and potentially new systems and games could end up propping up the whole ecosystem as people frantically buy more tokens cards etc with HIVE as the entry point....
god only know how things will pan out but i will be watching and hopefully a part of it all...
if you would like to chat on discord or telegram about project, groups etc please do feel free to get in touch..

All of the tokens run via Hive Engine are Layer 2 tokens - such as LeoFinance's token, 'Proof of Brain' and many others. Yes, apps that use Hive as a foundation for selling items or services are an ideal way to bring money into Hive without paying out from the rewards pool. A few projects have already experimented with models for doing this in a way that sells writing from Hive bloggers to corporate groups looking for promotional material to be created. I'm sure there are some other great ideas waiting to be discovered too!
