There is a close correlation between the price of HIVE and how successful Hive is. Fewer want to write, play, and develop on Hive when the price has one direction on the long term. Theoretically, a low price would attract investors if they see the potential, but we don't see many of them around. I'm not saying it for myself, but the signals are pretty clear, unfortunately. Reverse the price trend (not so easy to do), and make it last more than a few weeks, and we will see Hive come to life again.
A higher price of HIVE (which probably implies more investors and dapps having recurring revenue streams), would likely allow us some more room for... generosity. But not too much, I guess, because we have the experience of Splinterlands to show us spending left and right when you are on high horses can bring you way back down rapidly. And we are not on high horses now on Hive, quite the opposite.

True so what can we do from the high horse (I am not sitting there - I watch from the bottom only)? Agree on signals but who can drive a n in-depth discussion so big guns also see there is need to talk/improve?
I don't believe any of us are, maybe with exceptions, only few of them known. In the grander scheme of things, perhaps our whales aren't either, except on Hive, at times.
I was hoping some of these things have at least been discussed in the ad-hoc groups at Hivefest. Perhaps it wasn't the time or place to emphasize this too much in the public conferences or round tables and they weren't.
I saw Sorin brought up the aspect of the HIVE price in the long term. I'm not sure what the solutions can be at this point... We are caught in the larger wirlpool of alts, and wherever that leads we kind of follow.
Many people question this below (assume it was no key agenda point though to be discussed - yeah and Sorin might see it similar like may as also other people)
