A example what can be done with would make sense. I get the concept, but some product other chains have and is build on top of it. IMO hive misses daily utility features aka smart contract that would have pushed innovation on hive too ( or simple premade token contract). With more finance, the utility goes up and apps build around it.

And i think if you would work for free because you like it, I would recommend not to net sell 100% of DAO money you earn. That shows you trust the stuff you build. If you sell at 4 cent everything you get, it looks like you dont really see a future for hive.
