Hopefully, Magi will bring some dev. power and we will see some good DeFi projects on HIVE... I know that we are a social network, but bringing money to HIVE could help a lot + those apps wouldn't ask for money, as they WILL create money for liquidity providers, and make conversions easier for others...
Besides that, having some self-sustainable games that could burn HIVE tokens would also be nice to see... If we had 10 games as Splinterlands (or better), we wouldn't be where we are...
All in all... We don't need a lot... 1 killer dapp that would showcase that being self-sustainable on HIVE is possible, would be enough to motivate and incentivize other devs to have that kind of view... Until devs look at DHF as a "safe milking cow", we will not see better days... Plus, DHF can also be a "demotivator", especially for competition that would like to create apps similar to those that are already financed through DHF...
