Source of income or not: When focus is on money, then HIVE will be dead at some point in time without value ie mponey gone as well. Many don't seem to understand that concept. Maybe HIVE blogging will die, thats fine by me. But HIVE needs to power applications in such ways it gets its own value. Today I think this value is still very much based on the (blogging) community, though we have some dApps using HIVE for its storage capabilties of whatever data.
