This has been and still is my primary focus. The Speak network will live on Hive, I want it to be a Hive native token, IE running off RCs, or in some way bringing value back to the Hive ecosystem. I often use Leo as an example of what I mean by tokenized communities. That's originally what made me bullish on Steem and what I'm fighting tooth and nail for today.

It pleases me to know that not only Blocktrades but a handful of others that have the knowledge and resources (if they lack resources I've offered finical help to those capable) and progress is being made. Know that the IPFS backend for the Speak network is practically finished at the foundation, it's now time to create a tokenized system to empower this storage system. So now it's that time, it'll be built one way or another and it will be decentralized or we simply can't use it. I'm stubborn when I think I'm right, and I think Hive will go to another level once these tools are made available for people to tokenized their communities in both a decentralized and economically viable way. I want people to spin up communities + tokens for very cheap and rely on the fact they'll need RC's to back those tokens. it was the original SMT vision and what will bring a ton of organic demand for RCs, thus leading to bullish demand for Hive.
