To tell you the truth, I am not expecting any good from HIVE price in short-medium term.
I think we are going to dance between 0.10 and 0.15 USD for a long time if we don't do anything outstanding in order to promote the project.
However, I am feeling satisfied with the distribution of the tokens among users, I think it is more balanced now and fairer despite, as you wrote also, Devs who promise to deliver are just dumping daily DAO payments without delivering.
In my opinion, we need a drastic change on the marketing strategy and also the removal of the rewarding Curve is a must. Till then, the price of HIVE will stay at this range, invisible for investors.
