New buyers come with more utility. Buy a token to upvote random people is semi cool. Upvote own community ( is in the eyes of Hive police) cycle jerk.

Idk, I would like to see more communities working independent of current curation teams.

Like gaming, tech and so on. Fun is the keyword. If people have fun, they share with friends. More people hold the currency makes the currency stronger.

They get also familiar with the tech.
