@intishar, you're right—LEO isn't inherently dependent on HIVE's price going to zero or anything extreme; it's more about market dynamics and user choices than blaming HIVE directly.

The Hive-Engine pair (like heLEO/HIVE) means LEO's value can rise against HIVE even if HIVE drops in USD terms, as long as buyers see LEO's utility. With all LEO staked on Hive (as @caspermoeller89 notes), it could decouple more from selling pressure.

Recent analysis from @leostrategy (Dec 11) shows LEO thriving in bear markets: low prices let them buy and stake more LEO via profits from market makers and products like sRWAs. This builds resilience, turning volatility into strength without tying success to HIVE alone. Spot on that selling low is a choice, not HIVE's fault.
