The price comes down to how many people are willing to buy hive right now. It's always been that simple and a lot of the other coins are far older and have better known brands. When money comes into the market people will speculate on coins that they have heard of. Xpr litecoin steem. Regardless of how useful they are.

Our fundamentals are brilliant but people don't care about that. It's usability and visability that count. That's why I have always pushed for ads on hive.blog as it creates buy pressure and more visability for hive.

Tools for users to build more communities like LeoFinance and generate revenue and attract more users.

More users will create more demand and visability for hive. It will create a sustainable price increase rather than a pump.

The problems with hive won't be solved by more changes to the base layer. We need changes that address the shortcomings that are holding the system back.

I believe in the token and can see the development going on but a lot of it doesn't look at building tools for more people to get involved. Those tools are vital to create some exponential growth as ordinary users can then take the tools and build more use case.

Communities, onboarding, advertising, smts.... and build a WordPress blockchain. One that anybody can build on.
