I love that you brought this up.
There are way more hive out there and a lot of our community is balancing their wealth in different tokens now, Leo,dcity, dark energy crystals etc.
Still, I don’t think we can get past $1 without a user base as large as steem was at its peak, but perhaps the momentum from a March rally (which could be possible because many of us put our btc earnings into Hive) might help !
