I've been hearing for years that the appeal of Hive is the earning potential. I've also heard that without the earning potential, there is no reason for people to use Hive.

our tendency to make everything about it, has been myopic to say the least.

Screw the price. Screw the bear. Focus on making this place fun again.

Well, if I had to guess, I have the strong hunch that regardless of the rewards, regardless of the earnings you could make on Hive. The real deal and crux of the matter in focusing on making this place fun again by dedicating more time, effort and resources to the platform, creating more dApps with games, new features and stuff is gonna depend more than anything in the true number of real and active users we already have on Hive.

Otherwise, we're just going to get more of the same. A heap of token miners & extractors who don't care in the least anything about games, fun, community, or interaction with others, but only and exclusively about how much money they can get.

On the other hand and to conclude, I must say that I also largely agree with a big part of what @sorin.cristescu mentioned in his intervention.
