RE: It's all doom and gloom for Hive unless...

Hive and the chain it came from have always been niche cryptos. The community stays around the same size over the years. When people are leaving, there are places in the world that are adopting, like Venezuela and the Philippines now.

There are new things coming, like Smart Contracts from both VSC and BlockTrades. I have a little game some people may like. I think Hive will be fine. Something that fills a niche can last a long long time.
