Hive needs users for it to be worth more.

The reason the price is what it is and why there is 129 million Hive on exchanges is that people are speculating the price.

If you want the price to go higher you need to have people looking at the fundamentals of Hive.

What are Hive's fundamentals?

A decentralized social media based on free speech. The price of the token is 100% irrelevant as that is not the purpose of the chain. The purpose of the Hive chain is to have enough Staked Resources(HP) to be able to post and comment.

How much HP does someone actually need to use the network decently? About 250 to 500 HP at current prices/RC.

What does that get you? It gets you 2 or 3 posts per day + 30 to 40 comments or so.

50/50 rewards changed Hive to be more about speculation and got away from fundamentals, that is why the price is going to go lower and lower.

50/50 rewards means that people buy Hive because they just want to make profit from upvoting people, it encourages them to power up, upvote anything, and they don't have to contribute by making posts or comments or do anything actually productive. Just be rich and make money because they are rich. That's not fundamentals that's speculation.
