Agreed in most points dude! So my take to stake HP is stupid :-)?
Hive is different. You can earn Hive without spending fiat, with zero capital outlay, using your brain . And you can spend Hive quickly, with no fees. Hive is inflationary, not deflationary, hence there are no strong incentives to hold. As a matter of fact, Hive's price has been mostly flat over the years (unfortunately at a very low level).
