Neat illustration of the circulation of money for sure.

The one issue I have with Hive vs Bitcoin is the unlimited supply vs limited. It may be a shallow view but knowing there is a finite number of bitcoins to be minted makes me think of value in terms of supply and demand. The supply is limited and demand is increasing so the value will appreciate. With Hive, the supply is always increasing and is infinite so the demand can only boost the value short term as the infinite supply will always deflate the value. Like a government printing extra money depreciates the value of each dollar.

I know not directly related to your subject but got me thinking of the BTC vs Hive debate. I do love Hive for the 3-second, feeless transactions and open distribution which makes it more like money than BTC. Can't buy groceries with a gold bar but socking disposable income into that still is a good investment historically speaking. Perceived value vs transactional value.
