The last few months may have seemed euphoric for many. I personally found it nostalgic and well deserved. I have been through similar price performance. I have been through far better price performance. What I have not been through is this level of trading volume relative to the marketcap. I am happy and interested in this organic interest. HIVE is not paying anyone to manipulate the markets. What you are looking at is the true chaos of cryptosphere. This is my 3rd time riding waves such as this.

Volume From 3 Days Ago

I got these screenshots because they were an outlier compared to everything we were used to during most of the existence of HIVE. A day later we reached spot trading volume above 2 billion dollars.

Above results are only for the spot trading volume. Perpetual trades add hundreds of millions of dollars of trading volume everyday for HIVE after the CEX listings for perpetuals. These do not involve buying or selling HIVE; but adds a great deal of volatility to HIVE and trading volume for exchanges.

Comparing Volume Against Other Cryptocurrencies

These comparisons are the reason why I think we will have a much better time getting listed on more exchanges for spot and derivatives. Exchanges earn fees with each trade and as long as they are not going to face legal trouble, it is only natural that they would want to list a project that has better trading volume than most of the Top 100 cryptocurrency.

Trading volume for HIVE was on par with BNB for this particular day. That is still within Top 10 by trading volume among the highest marketcap Tokens. At the moment of writing, HIVE has fallen to 35th spot being on par with SAND which is one of the biggest gaming projects from the previous bull market.

There are projects with high marketcap with volumes that are a fraction of what HIVE is generating. These should be a great selling point when we pitch ourselves to exchanges for listing. I know that @crimsonclad has been working very hard on these. I have a great deal of respect for what she has done for HIVE.

Current Price Movements are Insignificant

People tend to have this amnesia when it comes to history. When prices fall that is all they panic about. When the prices are rising, they think of it as the best thing ever. It is true that we are doing great compared to the first 3 quarters of 2024. None of these should be considered a "big deal" when we look at where we are coming from.

We are going through some small price gains. We have had steeper falls and far more parabolic rises. Do not be unwise enough to think that a $100 potential would stop below $1. In fact, we have trading volumes that would put ourselves on par with Cardano and $100 HIVE would gives us a marketcap around the same levels. At the very least we should be aiming towards to be back in Top 100.

INLEO Becoming The Killer DAPP

Our first killer DAPP was @splinterlands. They had half a million MAUs (Monthly Active Users) and became the #1 DAPP in the world based on user counts. The bear market ended up being terrible for blockchain gaming and NFTs. @splinterlands itself failed deliver their promises on time. We are getting ready for some serious marketing and expansion of new features in 2025. The great thing is that we don't have to rely on a single niche to take care of onboarding.

New account creation statistics changed for 2024. I have been saying for years that gaming + microblogging is the best way to onboard users. I was only half right for 2024. 29.69% of new accounts were created by @leofinance team.

1. leo.voter 22595
2. appreciator 14623
3. dbuzz 5568
4. ecency 4171
5. hive-recovery 2027
6. aliento 1729

If you need a hint on the primary cause behind the success of onboarding, take a look at this video and realize that the same template can be used on any project that support Keystore wallet. This is using an encrypted JSON file with a password as a wallet. It supports most cryptocurrencies. INLEO developed the compatibility for HIVE.

What is Promised for $453,250

1. Twitter (X) Export protocol for a one-click button to export a Twitter account's historical content to the Hive blockchain and store them as Threads (key to onboarding Twitter users to a blockchain alternative, using Hive)
2. LeoAI - a chatgpt+ style feature that will be deeply integrated into the INLEO Experience. A Copilot, a new way to Search the Hive blockchain. LeoAI is built from the ground up and trained on all Hive blockchain Data
3. LeoAds Protocol - permissionless, direct B2B ad platform (think Facebook Ads but on Hive through INLEO)
4. Encrypted on-chain chats at scale - Hive needs a scalable encryption chat layer with a clean UI for DMs and Chatrooms, we will deliver something that people want to use: just like we did with Threads, Shorts and many other features
5. New Hive onboarding methods (similar to how we built Hive Lite Accounts through X & Google and most recently launched Keystore Hive Accounts)
6. LeoAI APIs that other Hive apps can connect to and utilize for high quality data retreival from the Hive blockchain (imagine use cases like Search on Ecency getting an order of magnitude better using LeoAI's SLM + LLM Model)
7. LeoMerchants API for Hive Apps - any Hive app can accept any cryptocurrency for payment. Payments are settled in HBD (brings outside capital into the Hive ecosystem)
8. LeoMerchants API for brick-and-mortar shops - any shop anywhere in the world can accept any crypto for payment. Payments flow through the Hive ecosystem and settle in any cryptocurrency the merchant wants to receive
9. LeoMerchants PoS system - a Point of Sale system allows merchants in the real world to accept payments. INLEO hasn't publicly announced this yet, but we're working with a PoS partner to build PoS devices and deliver them to brick-and-mortar businesses so they can accept Crypto as payments. All payments flow through the Hive ecosystem. Customers can pay in any crypto and merchants can accept any crypto
10. ChainFlip Aggregation added to our Hive Aggregator on https://leodex.io (connecting Hive to the ChainFlip ecosystem + solana, etc.)
11. Thorchain Aggregation added to our Hive Aggregator on https://leodex.io (connecting Hive to the largest cross-chain DEX ecosystem on the planet)
12. Organization Accounts on INLEO - bringing Premium a whole new use case for orgs on Hive
13. Enhanced Profiles on Hive - taking the basic framework of Hive profiles and expanding the potential of them. One Account to Rule Them All
14. Threadcasts overhaul - Threadcasts have become a major use case for putting live events and chatting on the Hive blockchain. We plan to expand this in a huge way in 2025 and turn Threadcasts into a real "Twitch Chat Killer" alternative
15. Go LIVE - livestream video feature on INLEO to accompany the new Threadcast features. HUGE announcement coming in Q2, 2025
16. Solana Integration. SOL Wallets and payments using SOL and SOL-based assets
17. LEO listings on CEXes and DEXes - we'll continue to bring LEO to more blockchains and for the first time ever, Centralized Exchanges. Listing LEO in these places increases the velocity of trading volume for the LEO Token which is valuable for increasing potential trading volume for HIVE on our Hive Aggregation Technology Rails
18. and many many more! Join us for our Weekly AMAs to hear about the Roadmap as it evolves in real time and we roll features out to the https://inleo.io platform

INLEO needs money to spend on combined marketing campaigns with various other cryptocurrency projects. Each project can onboard thousands of MAUs in a very short amount of time. This is the chance HIVE has to become a mainstream talking point. There have been many other blockchain social media projects that came and onboarded hundreds of thousands of users of users only to fizzle out. More details on the plans can be read here.

There is a Plan and It Works!

There are plenty of statistics shared that show a sudden spike in all the activity and onboarding right after Dash partnership went live. $453,250 can be used to repeat the same for many other projects starting from @mayaprotocol and its sister projects. Even BTC and ETH users will have the ability to become HIVE users in a minute.

Both images are from the this proposal and its asking for the community to allocate a tiny fraction of 230,070.792 HBD Daily budget of DHF. Keep in mind that any increase in HIVE price contributes to make DHF bigger. 10% of the block rewards goes to DHF.

Vote to Make HIVE Top 100 Again!
