We need the following:
E: New ways to generate income on Hive
F: More DEFI tools
C: E-commerce tools to use Hive, HBD, HE tokens to pay for products and services

But before all, we need something that will improve everything suggested - and that's some integration/usage of AI , something like bittensor integration of AI and blockchain is discussed in this documentary

Kudos to @mypathtofire for mentioning it.
Or is that too complicated for Hive users? Maybe we're all happy with our small profit bubble here, and we don't need anything else ...
