I will start by saying, you might not be considering a LOT of things here... and I am going to assume (note me saying assume) you don't know all that is happening around Hive, all the apps, all the developers initiatives, all the developing at the core level, etc.
And the reason I am stating this "assumption", is because I also don't know it!
And Hive is such a large decentralized community that is very hard to say "We should do this, because that solves that". We can surely try, but I can already tell you, it will never solve things in the long term... why? because the crypto market is constantly evolving, people are constantly evolving, its a mess in terms of "when will we know the current state", to "define a clear and robust strategy" in order to raise the price (which by the way, is not a real objective for a decentralized chain per si, just a tool to attract investors).
I think you are looking to resolve a very complex problem, with very good suggestions... when the problem isn't resolvable by a single strategy. And because of all things that constantly are adapting, if you don't form the base layer of something that can survive, you can't control it anymore, and you can't define any strategies. And then, its just what it is...
Hive is people... and people change. Therefore the value of each person, also changes... So, Hive value will always change... and if one thinks that there is a magical recipe that will make Hive go to 1k USD, well... I am sorry to disapoint you, there is not.
Having that said, it does not mean it can't one day reach that... but what I am trying to say, is that even if we do ALL the "right things" (not in the sense of these are the correct ones to do, but in the sense of navigating towards the direction of accruing scarcity to the token and making it speculatively more valuable) that would exist in the world... like...
... make it deflationary instead of inflationary system...
... burn all the HBD in the HDF...
... big investor constantly doing marketing on F1, Football, basketball, racing sports, everywhere... even on rockets!
... Lots of money from a big investor for conferences around the world with free food and events...
... plugging the code into comercial businesses that now depend on Hive...
... an so on, you get the idea...
EVEN if you would do all these and more, you won't get the 1k USD miracle guaranteed...
WHY!!!?
Because Hive is people... people change! And I can guarantee you (even if I can't really... up to you for taking my word or not) that even if you do all the above, the price would eventually go down... again.
- Investors would like a ROI
- Big scammers will want to attack Hive and due to how humans work, big investors would get scammed, and liquidation of large amounts would cause a lot of damages...
- Security of the chain would be overlooked... vs monetary value or desire to make a profit.
- High costs of running infrastructure because of scale (deflationary systems don't scale or reach high costs very soon) - hence why Hive is inflationary...
- etc...
There are so many variables, that assuming there is a solution, is basically irrelevant and pointless.
So, what should we do? Give up?
NO! Not me at least...
This is best experience I have ever had in my life, in terms of being at the edge of technology and people at the same time.
Hive should never be seen as "this will get me rich one day". That's BTC... lucky gambling, winning a lottery or a lucky stock purchase that 1000Xed like NVIDIA, etc...
Hive is a social experiment, run by Humans! Not by machines... 😎
I LOVE HIVE! And I understand what you are trying to say, but the right way forwards is not trying to raise the price. That's a temporary solution in my view. I am not saying we should not try, I am saying, technically that's temporary. There is way more things that need to be in place, for that to be cost effective.
The way forward is to adjust this experiment (which is already possible and done by design) until the mass expansion of its community reaches its autonomous existence - by Forky
What does that even mean? In simple words, fine tune the way Hive works so that the rate that Hive expands in terms of users and their stake is higher than the rate of users giving up or selling peanuts (at the moment).
Once that happens, Hive will be what you probably always dreamed about, and maybe even more...
That state is yet to be observed, and depends on so many things, that again, I would not wish to go through it here. Even if by now I might already regret if I have confused you with all this huge comment.
And again, to my point with all this, raising the price with hype, will be temporary... raising the price by doing marketing will be temporary... raising the price by creating scarcity will be temporary... etc...
Anyways, I am not (I can't say never because I am human, but if you discount that part, then its, never) giving up, you should not give up too if you like or identify with anything I just said, even if any part of my comments reduce your motivation.
Hive is people!
Contribute what you can, connect with people around the world... learn how it works... use what you like, feedback or do what's in your control. Own it, by having stake on it...
I am very sentimental today... sorry. See you around!
Forky, out.
