You’re right that HIVE needs bigger projects to drive real demand - but there’s a catch: we can’t just wait for projects to appear. They need builders, and builders need incentive.
Splinterlands proved it’s possible, but it also showed the risk - when one big project dominates, the whole ecosystem becomes dependent on it. Diversification matters more than size.
The 8-9 cents you mentioned from previous cycles is the floor we keep testing. Each time we bounce from it, fewer people have capital left to buy. That’s the real problem - not lack of opportunity, but lack of dry powder.
About those 3 cycles back to $1 - I’ve been here for some of them too. The difference now is market structure has changed. Retail isn’t coming back the way it did before. If HIVE hits $1 again, it’ll be because of institutional adoption or ecosystem utility, not hype.
Good luck with the witness campaign. We definitely need people focused on growth.
