I think the biggest upside of Hive is how developer-accessible it is. It's simple to build apps for Hive when other blockchains like Ethereum or Solana require specific languages for smart contracts, fees and a bunch of other barriers that limit adoption because the barrier to entry is so much higher. It's one of the reasons I love being on Hive. I can spin up a new project in a weekend using languages I already know.

But I would say to anyone coming here looking for a quick profit (unless you're one of the lucky people who have rorted, grifted and pillaged the DHF), this isn't a chain where you're going to get rich or even get remotely close to it. The value of Hive for me has always been the platform itself, not the token price. You can build real things here without asking anyone for permission, without paying gas fees and without writing Solidity or Rust.

Where I'd push back a little is on the idea that trying is enough. Trying matters, but results matter more. The rally car is a good example. Intentions were fine, but if we're being honest about where funding goes and whether it produces outcomes, we have to hold ourselves to that standard across the board. Otherwise we're just the crypto version of a company that blows its budget on team building exercises and wonders why revenue is flat.

Hive's best days are ahead of it if the people building here keep shipping things that work. Not promises, not roadmaps, not vibes. Working products that people actually use.

It's during times like these where crypto and HIVE token value is in the toilet and the opportunist scumbags who only care about money will leave because there is none. Which means the bad times are a much needed hard reset, but people here for the community and ecosystem as a whole because they believe in Hive will be fine long-term because profit is a side effect, not the motivation.

It's actually funny Hive is at record lows and I've never been more excited and motivated to be here.
