Do you know what is stopping HIVE to gain value? Negative voting. It reduces the enthusiasm for people to participate. Some people, in their quest to have a "pure" blockchain, have taken upon themselves the task of stopping the content they do not like. They may argue that it is not original, but I have seen instances in which these people with large Hive Power have actually made truly honest people stop participating. The end result is: decreased demand and lack of growth. The solution: Stop negative voting
