There is a lot of development and activity in the ETH environment, so it doesn’t hurt to connect to that.

Inleo has the connection through Mayachain, which allows to swap from Leo to Cacao to ETH, BTC and many other layer 1 crypto’s with very low fees.

For small amounts you can best use @brianoflonden’s value4value service that connects hive with Bitcoin Lightning.

Still, more connections is better especially if Dan connects HBD with Bitcoin. Redundancy is important.
