Seriously, usability is a major factor in how fast anything is adopted. By 2013 Bitcoin was still something that made people scratch their heads, and that's when Dogecoin entered the cryptosphere. Despite the bad rap Dogecoin gets-- to this day!-- for many reasons, there is absolutely no doubt that Dogecoin made cryptocurrency accessible and available to the broader mass of people. Just as AOL brought people onto the Web and Internet, Dogecoin brought more people to cryptocurrency than Bitcoin ever could.

As for "Hive Light" accounts, I see merit in that idea. It would take a new Hiver some time to earn enough to be able to withdraw it, anyway, so during the early days the earnings may as well be staked. Once the big money (well, bigger money) starts coming in regularly, then it becomes possible to to things like buy Layer 2 tokens, delegate for earnings, play blockchain games, and other things which depend on having money to begin with. That's when the Hive Light account gets upgraded to full status.
