HIVE has a phenomenal foundation in terms of apps and users. Some people may not like the DHF, but it is the only reason people like me are even here. I am not going to build a program to do something. I should not need to learn to code to use HIVE. I want apps and tools provided by the ecosystem.
We have everything we need. We need to just stop doing things where the end goal is to make the price go up. It is an inflationary token and the reward pool is setup so people can accumulate vs live off of it.
If someone constantly sells their stake they will be left behind. It happens all the time.
We should do things to create value and let the price do its own thing in my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope things are going well on your end!
I agree. Worrying about price doesn't help. We need to focus on building, creating and making Hive a place where everyone wants to be regardless of what the price does.
You're welcome! I'm enjoying some much-needed time before Christmas with family, so it's going well! I hope everything is going well for you also!
The only way we have even a slim chance at this is a full and total rebrand. We aren’t just down 97% plus on price , we have bled users since 2021 & especially in 2025. Activity is down massively but nobody’s ever mentioning the big changes needed to even have a chance. It’s pretty obvious hive will be a lot smaller in two years & a lot lower. I say this as someone who loves hive. Frankly an absolute and total rebrand is needed yet our devs & witnesses pretend we are functioning at the best ever. Also we need a plan to unwind HBD, as fake artificial pegs have lost favor and market doesn’t trust algo “Stable coins” All I see is devs at hive fest saying HBD will soon be the biggest stable coin on earth, it’s beyond silly and ridiculous. The hard truth being faced is only way we change this path but most here don’t wanna do anything but pretend we haven’t bled users & activity. Only way to improve things is to be honest. !PIZZA !LADY
This is a terrible indication of health of the ecosystem. Hive needs to grow massively to enable it's real strengths to emerge. The things that prevent growth, even cause users to decline, are the result of the plutocracy increasing their acquisition of more stake, which is why the witnesses and devs they control are not revealing any alarm. They're doing what they're being paid to do.
If the price drops by half again, I don't think Hive will survive. The witnesses will do better tending bar than running nodes, and the whales will have accumulated stake until there's no market for it left, and it becomes worthless.
User retention must improve dramatically, and the only thing that will improve user retention is the whales decentralizing stake so new and present users will have incentives to join and stay on Hive.
Things are going well on my end.
Enjoy your holiday and Merry Christmas!
That's great to hear! You enjoy as well, and Merry Christmas!
Absolutely true, and reveals why such profligacy requires no action to repress, because it's self-healing.
