I am currently listening to the recording of Liotes Session. Loved it so far!

I really think you should continue with them. Also, yes, by all means, expand outside Hive to bring more value, and let us know of everything. I won't go everywhere you do, but I did go to Solana defi and that was a good decision, imo. Maybe we'll have better defi on VSC, but it will take some time to have anything serious over there (comparable to other top platforms).

Good thoughts regarding distribution versus utility too. However, to be honest, here I have to say many others don't care because they are already mostly centralized (not that we don't have some).

That's how far I listened so far...
