This is difficult to compute.

At the heart of it is, will HIVE attract more motivation and interest, or will in fizzle/flicker out?

There are a lot of bigger people watching HIVE but knowing the liquidity pool is so small that if they got in, they could easily dry it all up.

So, will HIVE make it into the big time? Would we want it to? Would we be happy when some BIG whales come in and change things up?

Bitcoin is about to hit the point where it will grow faster than you can spend it.
Many other cryptos will follow.
Other, other cryptos will die out.

Thus it is easy to see one being monetarily self-sufficient on crypto. Especially HIVE.
