If we talk about its monetary value, then according to the Hive Wallet, mine is currently worth $2397.54 USD, but this does not count second layer (Hive Engine) tokens, nor Splinterlands assets. If we count these too, then it is obviously worth more. The Hive Wallet counts just/only the assets in the Hive Wallet.
The idea is more than just what is in some people's wallet.
It is rather focusing upon is there value in a Hive account? Should people have to pay for them? Would they?
With all that is going to be offered in the future, it is worth $3 or $5 for the benefits?
Only time will tell but as more is created along with the opportunity, we could see it having value.

I pictured you thinking about someone building up their brand, such as yourself, Mr Taskmaster, or perhaps someone a little more as anonymous-plenty of those here. then someday just selling the account, or passing it on on... Kinda like Batman passing the torch down.
The potential value is included in their overall value, not just what's in front of you. perhaps the account is like a business after all ...I believe that was a topic of yours recently. People pay big money for established businesses, right? So, the potential is certainly there. Well.. We're all gonna die anyway, right...so we'll hopefully pass our keys down...assuming we outlive the chain, that is 🙀
Maybe someday we could even see someone-the money manager, or whatever, starting up 'pre loaded accounts' that were made with X amount invested and setup with delegations and h\e tokens or whatever so it would be be profitable and sustainable off the rip. Maybe the manager gets a set fee or delegation for that work. Heck, people are probably already doing that.
Some interesting possibilities.
Of course, with an individual, the brand tends to die with the person unless that person is like Elvis or someone.
Nevertheless, we are going to be in a new world of monetization. With IP starting to get crushed, how does one monetize him or herself. It is an interesting proposition.
Even someone's videos, down the road, are not going to be his or hers. They will be hosted by communities which changes everything.
Of course, I believe, long term, we are heading for a post monetary society. That is decades in the future but I believe, maybe by 2050, we will see something completely different evolving.
