#
- In the beginning we started with just one token: the Leofinance Leo token.
- Now we have four: Leo, W-leo, B-leo and P-leo.
- W-leo, B-leo and P-leo are all NFTS, which represent the value of one Leo token on three different blockchains. 
- So it is often asked: **What value do these tokens bring to Leo and the Leofinance economy?**


### The Leo NFT Token family: 
##### Below is a brief, yet main points explanation of the Leofinance NFT tokens in italics. 

*ETH and W-leo liquidity pair on Uniswap*
*Uniswap is the largest decentralized exchange in the Ethereum Decentralized Finance Ecosystem.*
*The Ethereum decentralized finance ecosystem is the largest in all of cryptocurrency.*
 
*BNB and Bleo liquidity pair on Cubfinance/PanCake Swap.*
*PanCake Swap is the biggest decentralized exchange on Binance.*
*Binance is the second largest decentralized finance ecosystem in all of cryptocurrency.*

*Matic and P-Leo Liquidity Pair PolyCub/Sushi Swap.*
*Sushi Swap is the largest decentralized exchange on Polygon* 
*Polygon is the third largest decentralized finance ecosystem in all of cyptocurrency.*

 *These three different blockchains just happen to be the three biggest ecosystems in all of cryptocurrency: Ethereum, Binance and Polygon.*
#
### The First value I see is off chain presence and attention.
- These NFTS create a presence of Leofinance off the Hive Blockchain and ecosystem.
- This presence exists on the three major financial ecosystems in cryptocurrency, and has a valuation of over ten million dollars USD.
- This presence advertises Leofinance, and also Hive.
- This is Attention, and in crypto attention pumps up price.
- Meme coins are an extreme examples of how price increases with attention, and also falls without it. 
- Some call cryptocurrency an Attention Driven Economy.
#
### The second value I see is scarcity.
- These 3 NFTs Wleo, Bleo and Pleo, each represent the value of one Leo token on these other blockchains.
- But equally importantly each also represents one Leo token taken out of circulation on Hive. (personal communication from Khal the Leofinance creator) 
- Therefore the actual number of Leo tokens in circulation on Hive is reduced by the number of Leo NFT tokens on the other blockchains. (Also a personal communication from Khal.)
- So these tokens have created *scarcity* of Leo tokens on the Hive Blockchain.
- Which by most economic rules of supply and demand, means an increase in the price of the Hive Leo token.
- So even if you don't own any Wleo, Bleo or Pleo, you benefit from it's existence.
#
## The third value I see is the coupling of the price of Leo, to the price of the main tokens of these three ecosystems Ethereum, BNB and Matic.

#### Liquidity Pairs and increased price of ETH, BNB and Matic causing an increase in the price of the Leo NFT, Wleo, Bleo and Pleo

- In each major decentralized finance ecosystem, a LEO substitute is paired with either ETH, BNB or MATIC.
- These pairs create a sort of price equilibrium between the two assets price.
- When the next bull run hits, the prices of ETH, BNB and Matic will probably rise.
- And because there are liquidity pairs ETH and Wleo, BNB and Bleo, and Matic and Pleo. I expect that the price of WLEO will rise with the price of  ETH, The BLEO price will rise with the price of BNB and the Pleo price will rise with the price of Matic.
- These price increases in Wleo, Bleo and Pleo should  then cause an increase in the price of Leo. 
#
## Past Performance
- Historically speaking, when Leofinance first ventured off the Hive Blockchain, it created WLEO and paired it with Ethereum on Uniswap.
- Then the Bull Market the price of Ethereums from 120 to over 2000.
- WLEO, and LEO price also rose from 10 cents to over 1 dollar.
- This is called past performance, and we all know the familiar statement made by "professional investment advisors" : *Past Performance is not Predictive of Future Peformance.* 
- And then they proceed to show us past performance, and that causes us to invest now, thinking we will see similar gains. 
- So this isn't guaranteed.
### Last Words
#
- This are some of the reasons I am bullish about these tokens, and there are others.
- In the case of Leofinance I like all the improvements on the Leofinance.io site, speed, stability and chnaged appearance. Plus other innovations like Threads, Communities, Leotalk, LeoPower Up Day, the Leofinance Round table, LeoTV, and Chain Talk.
- These innovations improve speed, reduce complexity, increase utility, and create a smoother path for adoption by newbies.
- And in my humble opinion :), they all represent increased value.
#
## Don't forget this historical moment...
- When Binance stopped withdrawals and sales of Hive and HBD, after the hardfork last week, noone could exchange or sell Hive or HBD, on Binance.
- Binance is the worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange, and the exchange used by a huge percentage of the Hive Community.
- But everyone on Hive could sell Hive and HBD on Cubfinance or on Polycub.
- This was a historic moment when Hive and HBD could be converted to other stable coins like BUSD and USDC in a location outside of a centralized exchanges.
- Then you could easily transfer your BUSD or USDC to Binance or another exchange, convert it to cash, and you could pay for your daily needs: food, water and shelter.
- This was a truly liberating moment, and some of you might have missed it!
#

- Knowledge is like a Super Power, it allows us to convert words, pictures and ideas into cash.
- And thats a Super Power I want to develop.
