That has to be balanced with growth. If there are enough use cases forming for HBD and the token is being circulated, creating a thriving economy, then the debt level will not be a problem.

Obviously, if that takes place, the amount of HBD required will be enormous, meaning the demand for HIVE will increase.

As always, it comes down to building. If project teams are doing that and incorporating HBD in, then growth will offset it all. This is where I believe the foundation of Hive differs from many: we have builders here.
