This now is my 8th year on the Hive Blockhain Blogging and I have made a habit of making a prediction each year at the start so time to look back at what I wrote last year and make a new prediction going forward...
Hive Enjoyment & Progress!
I still very much enjoy Hive as I consider it my home on the Internet and I don't intend to stop blogging anytime soon regardless where the price of Hive goes. While many are tourists that come and go depending on the price of hive or eventually give up, I just really enjoy writing and having a blog which helps me on a daily basis.

I did manage over the year to increase my Hive Power from 20k HP to now 28k HP also because I now have been leasing 10k+ Hive for 45 weeks in a row to help me give more relevance and grow. I also didn't do a single power down while I used most of the HDB earned either to pay for the delegation or to expand into Hive-Engine coins or Splinterlands Assets.
Last Year Prediction.
This is what I wrote last year (Link)
2024 Results
In 2024, the price of Hive ranged somewhere between 0.16$ at the bottom and 0.51$ at the peak over the year doing only a +12.69% increase. In a way it's not bad given the fact that Hive remains a reward token that by many continues to be dumped while the inflation went higher than normal. As it's possible to get good returns as an active user and holder this also needs to be added to the number.
Generally it has been a Bitcoin and Selective Memecoin year while many of the older altcoins didn't do that crazy good.
2025 Expectations.
I do expect Hive to remain in a similar situation where it kind of lives outside of the crypto space pumping on days when everything is down followed by a wave of sellers which pushes the price back down while the entire market pumping by no means will mean that Hive will go up.
I feel like Hive has somewhat established itself as a niche platform with a bunch of loyal users and projects like Splinterlands without a realistic outlook for it to become something mainstream with crazy adoption. The reality is that there are just too many fundamental flaws in the entire model to work on a larger sustainable scale. If things pump in 2025 it will likely be because of an excess of money from the crypto bull run that flows in increasing the earnings making it interesting for new people to come in who mainly come from the earnings but will leave equally fast while some of them will stick.
So While it would be nice to see everything going crazy with the price of Hive Reaching the 7$+ range which was the Steem All-Time High, I see this as rather unlikely and not something I would take a bet on. Making a realistic prediction I would say that Hive ranges somewhere between 0.25$ and 1.75$ in 2025
Prediction: Hive will benefit from a Crypto Bull run without doing crazy gains Hive ranging somewhere between 0.25$ and 1.75$ in 2025
Presonal Hive Plans
I'm still here for the long-long run and Hive really would need to go crazy before I would consider to power down. So my main plan it to just continue to enjoy the platform and used it for what it was designed similar to how I have done in the past 7 years,
Conclusion
My predictions very much are in the same line that Hive as a niche platform continues to exist while benefiting from the Crypto Bull market without doing anything crazy
