I don't really know much about this, but I do remember the STEEMIT blockchain which is very similar to hive, if you check it out, the price started dropping and dropping to it's all time low and hasn't really seen it's highs for a long period, I haven't figured what caused that, but that's likely an area to understand or be explained in other to calm the minds of people.
Hive was a fork of Steem.
So I have heard, I pray we do better and improve more.
The technology is getting better. That said, it still is dependent upon what is built.
And how well we become owners and utilize it's tool to make it's value reflect on the price
People need to look at what they are doing.
