One of the key 'omissions' in all of this is that it has never been made clear enough publicly that the value from which market caps for Hive are calculated from by sites like Coin Market Cap, do not include the DHF pool. This gave (me at least) an incorrect perception of the state of Hive and its potential, right from the inception. Every DHF payout inescapably lowers the token price. This should have been made abundantly clear and not doing so is an epic failure.
