I agree with you HIVE doesn't need some fix.

I am not sure it's a bad investment but it just feels like the user base that sees it as an investment is too discombobulated right now.

The user base that sees it as an investment can't be discombobulated if they want to be effective imo. The investor cohort side of the chain is very important though.

Witnesses need to be able to make money off running nodes imo. Witnesses need a financial incentive to run good nodes and for them to be willing to do what is in the best interest of the chain. And those witnesses need sufficient liquidity to be able to sell their witness rewards.

If HIVE is not about making money in terms of token price going up, it creates downstream problems imo. I am also not saying everyone needs to view HIVE as an investment, I am just saying the investment cohort on the chain are very important.

Those toppings are offensive 🤣 hopefully it was at least tasty, it looks tasty. I have been eating pizza a lot lately but that picture makes me want to have more pizza 😆
