There are so many tokens out there that have no utility at all.

Why should Hive not be worth $150? Give me a good reason.

0.00183922 BTC / HIVE

would give HIVE a market cap of
$81,255,700,200 billion

Unrealistic, perhaps. There are 541m Hive tokens and only 21m Bitcoin, but it's possible.

McDonalds has a market cap of $202.45 B but it also has a globally recognized brand that people line up for 24 hours a day. This year people will buy Cheeseburgers, and next year, and the year after.

"the company's current earnings are $26.26 Billion USD. In 2024 the company made an earning of $10.34 Billion USD a decrease over its 2023 earnings that were of $10.52 Billion USD."

What are Hive's earning, if we look at it in this light?

What is it that Hive serves its customers?

Where are our Chicken Nuggets?

I often talk about how it's a better web host, but it's users are its greatest asset.

Although we have dApps and HBD is ideal for payments, (who is using recurring payments?)
There still is no active Hive Marketplace for Products and Services.

Someone walks into Hive, and their starting place is to post,
but as soon as they get a downvote, its all over.

Where are Hive's Customers? How can we build a Brand that serves people?
And if we had a Products and Services Marketplace, what might that look like?

The mechanism for adding value to the Hive coin would need to be there.

What does Hive make? What are our resources? Our equipment and our to-go boxes?

Brainstorm with me please, how can we make Hive more appealing to Customers?

What would a more successful Hive look like, in 10 years? What things would we need to do today to make it somewhere that people want to go, daily, and what would get they?

Could they buy home made stuff? Shipping costs makes it difficult. Digital goods makes sense. Hiring Devs for their coding talents, perhaps. But the risk of AI automation replacing both coding and writing work is unfolding. Human meaningful efforts are recognized on Hive, because it takes a Human eye to give that upvote and judge a post and user with Merit.

I have had several ideas for Front ends I would create, smart contracts for tokens, and more.

What is really worth doing? Are we determined to keep Hive small, with a low price? Or do we want to see the value of the entire chain rise and see everyone thrive? Hive flipped HBD once, it can do it again. When Hive is worth more than HBD, then the HBD created inflation won't be so high.

What does a new user come here for, and why would they come back tomorrow for more?

When looking at the other Crypto options out there, it's not clear to most what is usable.

When the average person discovers Hive, what should they see on our menu?

Please take the time to leave your Proof Of Brain in the comments and brainstorm some ideas.

If Hive was a Service and Product focused Business, what would new users come here for, and why would they spend their Crypto here? How could they do it? How can we encourage, not discourage?

Does everyone need a Shop that donates 2% to a Pool? Could there be user/HBD liquidity pools?

Should there be automatic BTC and USDT reserves built up to back the HIVE token?

Can Hive diversify and secure it's place as the ultimate decentralized web3 platform?

What are the top 10 most important issues of the year?

Can we continue to innovate, or does Hive burn out?

These are just some of my thoughts over Breakfast and Coffee.
