1 cent level is probably realistic price for today's adoption. What it would do to the incentives of content creators and curators is another question. All system is more or less driven rather by greed than fun or content value at this point and we can not break from this cursed circle. With the exception of handful devoted devs and community members.

What i want to say there is still no killer app that would be just fun to use for entertainment or educational purposes. Especially compared to competition and majority of value arises from speculation expectations. Such speculation should not allow Hive to go much under 10 cents. Even i would be convinced to buy Hive if it goes under 10 cents. Would certainly pick a load just for fun at 5.
