Well lower price is the best feature hive has now. It changes power from old hands and miss management to new hands that can force change.
But i see the problem with core devs also shield their " knowledge" behind walls. Dont talk to other people or share what they are doing.
Some dude made some version of smart media tokens ( maybe is shit) but got directly attacked by core devs since he randomly writes code.
I see only 1 way hive can become Fun and big. Make downvotes cost money ( voting power again, so its not free to attack) + Finance apps ( since free transactions and a native stablecoin used of it is smart).
Worst case it all ends up zero since i saw over the last years many projects, many DAO fundings of things that never happen.
From ETH fork to hive, smart media tokens, Smart wallets, Games and the list is endless.
The projects are currently building are IMO in a "thrive or die" phase.
Something i think about is a auto delegator of RC to new users. So they can post more without a limit, enjoy the platform and explore it without the need to buy directly.
This + finance apps ( multichain) can be a thing IMO.
And well, i know posting doesnt mean ppl are "entitled to rewards" but is how its displayed. Since Users use a "upvote" like a "like " on other social media platforms ( to show they did read it or send a reaction to it).
