IMO if hive has onchain smart contracts.
We can have W-BTC, W-etc, and ..... on hive.
Also with a list fee, it would not only needed for RC also for listing it. Spam protection + one more use case.
If users deposit their Btc on hive smart contract and they can transfer it without fees to every hive user. Its more simple, faster, and cheaper.
Hive can be the master wallet of crypto. Also onchain/ sidechain exchange and bam. Multi-Billion $ use case.
The only thing it needs it, it must be trustless and decentralized. Then people would start to deposit their tokens on Hive. And it's safer than hold it on exchange right? :D
