Hive has profoundly changed in the last 3 years, from a blogging platform it has become an ecosystem that embraces all the new opportunities that the blockchain offers, such as DeFi and NFTs for example. The blockchain is extremely malleable due to the evolution of technology. So I expect the developers will always add new features in the future as well.
Right now Hive is still a small niche, and I expect something different to happen in 2023: more major partnerships that can really attract new users. The bear market certainly doesn't help and I hope, as it actually seems, the conditions are better. Hive is among the best blockchains out there and they don't know it yet!
Hive do have great potential and still undervalued in many aspects.
2023 can be dubbed as year of AI and we might see some smart Dapps on Hive too this year.
