Yeah, Hive needs to follow the trend of DeFi in my opinion. No or short power down period, wrapped HIVE and HBD, HIVE based liquidity pools and outreach and teach other netizens why they should be on HIVE in order to monetize their time online and get a stake in the social apps sector.
Oh yeah, and ad revenue. People have been suggesting this for years. We could use the ad revenue to reward the users bringing in the traffic to HIVE, as well as promote the great HIVE apps like http://Dcity.io and Splinterlands.
Definitely look at how great
