RE: Case For A Hundred Dollar Hive

Whales will start selling after crossing $10 mark. FOMO will make this buying decentralized. It depends on various situations.

If you take a scenario where few will be buying up to convert to HBD for long term low risk fixed income purposes, then a lot of Hive will be destroyed. Everybody has a price point at which they would sell. Everybody will be selling and everybody will be buying.

One or few people can't afford buying up all. If you are thinking someone with a big commitment to do so, then price would go much higher. Going to $1000. Not happening, for the reasons you stated.

Consumer driven demand for the token could send the price consistently up, at a reasonable/manageable pace.

All you need is a product consumers are interested in and a reason for them to spend money.

Hive produces thousands of products, daily. It's called 'content' and typically, that product generates billions annually, with no signs of ever slowing down.

Unfortunately, on Hive, there's little to no interest in attracting consumers. That attraction isn't dependent on any one individual or group. There are thousands of players who refuse or simply aren't aware their content is a product and that product does not need to sit going stale on our local shelves while producers pretend the front doors are locked.

If people wised up, 'consumers' become the investors. Rather than one or two whales, investing to a peak and then no more, you get millions of consumer investors buying in small with room to buy more down the road.

Typically in the arts/entertainment/information world, when a consumer wants to spend money on that product, they take what they've earned from a job, there's a bit left called 'disposable income' and they burn it on, entertainment, as example.

Here we have a revolutionary support system most don't even recognize or realize has the potential to be incredibly disruptive in the industry.

Here, rather than burning that money or throwing it away for a cheap thrill, the consumer can simply move funds from their bank account to their Hive account, stake, then tip forever (votes are a form of tip, we just call it something else and pretend we're not tipping) at no cost in small amounts over time rather than one lump sum. Perks like rewards come standard and studies show perks often entice consumers into spending more. But this time they're technically not spending any money, yet still contributing to the success of not only their favorite product but also the place where it's found, helping guarantee the future of more down road with no strings attached.

Every onboarding attempt focuses on attracting more content creators. Nobody focuses or even talks about attracting a dedicated consumer base. Anyone new showing up today depends on the current consumer base comprised mainly of content creators. Not enough eyes, not enough ears, can't figure out how to attract investors, yet working feverishly day in and day out keeping those shelves full of product.

Everyone here is sitting on a multi billion dollar goldmine. And it's been like that, for years. I've been talking about it, for years. Content is a product we refuse to sell, and here the consumer can achieve their goal of supporting content without having to actually spend money (they simply transfer their property from one account to another). First time in history. And nobody notices...
