It's pretty terrible what is going on right now in Washington. Makes me angry every day listening or reading about it.

One way is to stop paying out so much money via the Proposal System. There isn't a ton paying out right now but there has been a lot since HIVE forked. That HBD represents HIVE as it is backed by HIVE.

Housing prices and cups of coffee may be priced in it someday too.

I think it happens within the next 5 years for sure. If not, there is probably something wrong and it will never hit $115k.
