I would say that at this point I am pretty much done with having plans/expectations that Hive is going to "go anywhere." I continue to blog and mostly power up simply because I enjoy blogging, and I have made a number of friends in the community.
As far as this being a monetary proposition, I have pushed that back to only being a possibly very long term proposition... meaning that if I look at what's in my account five years from now and discover that it is worth $100K, I'll probably exclaim "Wow, that's pretty cool!"
That said, you and I were both here and kept plugging away at is as Steem slowly sank to less than seven cents... and the thing I keep in mind now is that there's a helluva lot more going on on Hive in December 2020 than there was on Steem(it) in mid-March 2017, which makes it feel less likely that Hive will just fall into a bottomless pit, passing Dogecoin on the way down. The other plus about the development activity is that if we DO have a spike up, the inevitable influx of newcomers will have lot more reasons (aside from earning rewards) to stay around in the subsequent downturn... if past cyclical patterns are anything to go by.
