I remember a few people talking about Hive before HE was fully built out and I can't really know for sure how things were back then. I joined after HE and tribes were out so I am just used to it and I believe in LEO the most for my 2nd layer token.

Hahaha well hive before HE was what steem was like. But, there were a lot of second layer projects, but only Leo seem to be standing out. I think there are few others like BRO and CTP that are quite good as well.
