HIVE (and SteemIt) have suffered this problem from the beginning.

The platform has been dominated by people seeking to pull money out with a vain hope that somehow it would pull enough new investors in to keep the currency stable.

IMHO, for HIVE to thrive, there has to be some compelling reason for people to buy HIVE ... other than a vain hope that newbies will someday join the ranks of people pulling money out of the system.
