Not enough people understand that functional value does not equal price :) Function and price is not connected in the way in which I use this blockchain.

However, you use the price when you buy and sell. So to people that is the most important thing, as it should, from that perspective.
To counter your point, would you write here if hive value is zero or you get zero rewards. You perhaps don't know the answer, few of us do.
I do know the answer to that.
If rewards went away, I would still be here.
If people were to elect to use their stake to downvote my content maliciously and without good, well articulated reason, I would likely feel oppressed and leave. This is based on the confident notion that if it can be done to my content (which I have the immodesty to say is better than most on HIVE) - then what hope do others have?
I am not so sure that you will :)
However, we can agree to disagree.
My logic is even if you don't leave, 99.99% will leave. So the network will cease to exist. Then slowly one after the other services will shut down, and they will leave. Eventually it will be a ghost town. So at that point there is little difference if you write in word or notepad, as opposed to peakd.
By the way, peakd will not be here long before that :)
I must let some nihilism sprinkle in now: If we are all going to one day die, why do we do anything at all? If all the stars in the universe will one day grow cold and dark, what is the purpose of anything anyway? :)
So far I have had a good run with hive / steem - not just the prior financial benefits we've previously discussed, but the sense of self discovery, satisfaction, and all the things that I have learned, all the ways I have matured and grown, and all the people that I have met along the way.
A sidenote: I was very fascinated by my word cloud for my all time posts and comments. "Content" appeared in the middle, but above it, in small font, also the word "futile".
Time!
That is billions of years away.
You will be dead in 50 max :)
Yeah. Marky showed me that. Good one.
😮
I would still be here. I used to tweet for nothing...
