Hive will survive as long as people want to run nodes.

But from an investor's point of view, I don't see any reason why the token price should go up.

Nobody wants to build anything on the chain, anything already built doesn't work (have you tried to use Hive-Engine lately?) and the Hive elite just continue to milk.

On the other hand, LEO will survive as long as LeoDex, LeoStrategy, inLeo and the like produce revenue.

I think there is obviously a ton more upside in LEO than HIVE.
