Nice post! Thanks for the insight.

do you believe that Hive can pull off what it did in 2021

We may have to wait until 2029, as we have seen e.g. with XRP's amazing peak in 2017, which reached a lower peak in the 2021 cycle to surprise in the 2025 cycle. There is a pattern here, lower peaks in the second cycle -> explosion in the third cycle.
Hopium or, thoughts?
