Hive has been in a bear market the entire time Bitcoin was in bull market and ran from 15K in late 2022 to 126K late 2025. That same 35 month period hive went from .26 cents (2022 bear low) to .0811 cents. These random calls of this level means it’s dead are silly. Of course bitcoin is going sub 70K next bear market part of cycle, that’s not even 50% move and we’ve seen it more much more every cycle, even if timing changes and Bitcoin were to go above 126K one more time Hive wouldn’t increase much at all. $1 or $1.50 are beyond fantasy. But to suggest it’s dead is kinda silly. I personally sold most my stake left during the January 2025 pump to .68 cents as it felt artificial AF and I called we’d be at a dime within 12 months. Many people would say it’s dead now. Just like Steem & Blurt. But dead is a relative term in this case. You mean dead like it won’t function? Or dead like it just tiny community? In terms of ever going to its 2021 all time high again of $3.35 , I’d say probably never again, that seems obvious and I’d say for sure never happening unless we are talking a total rebrand or something crazy different , does that mean it’s dead? You gotta be more specific. I’ll always love Hive, but I am sure glad I took a huge chunk off when we were briefly above $3.00 in late 2021. It seemed foooidh not to when I bought in 2020 for .10 average and about 100K HP. Luckily I sold 80% above $2.00 and a chunk of that just cents from ATH. So I’m in the black but sure hasn’t been worth still investing time into it even though my original investment is out ten fold. Just seems a majority of people here are shilling crappy projects like Leo & what not, nobody seems to care about decentralized or anything really besides delegation for upvotes and just these centralized tribe tokens which aren’t even cryptos, they just happen to choose the Hive chain to make home base. I miss the old days when there were libertarian & freedom loving people here.

Edit - Obviously some people care about the real decentralized things Hive can do. I just mean 95% of the people here just seem to be here for daily bot upvotes they buy via delegation or for Leo just pay a monthly fee. It doesn’t make sense when the HP powered up will keep loosing more value than the upvotes add up 2. I just can’t believe how foolish so many people are.
