Hive has incredible potential. The rate at which new Dapps are being developed in incredible. Although we do need better ways to publicise them both internally and externally - I've seen quite a few that deserve success but just don't reach a critical mass of users.
I can see a situation where Hive has a Web3 alternative to just about everything that's currently in Web2 - I'd particularly like to see a viable (and more user-friendly) alternative to Discord, and maybe chat/videochat dapps. Purely personally, because it intersects with my own business, I'd love to see e-commerce and actual realworld payments widely adopted.
The one thing I feel we don't need, and should actively avoid, is funding from venture capital or legacy finance of any kind. Yes it might give us a brief growth spike, but it can also lead to attempts to take control, or price manipulation by mega-whales. I want to see faster growth, but not at that price !
There are a lot of development still yet to be done. Shorts are important and 3Speak is working on them being in many different front ends.
So we are still not there yet but it is exciting.
