Hi 
While looking at the comment section on your post, a trend seems to appear. Everyone has a different perspective about what Hive is and each Individual replies according to what he/she thinks Hive is all about.
The girl who spoke about share2steem thinks Hive is an alternative crypto-based social media, so her idea is to drive people's attention from the place they already gather on mainstream social media to Hive... When she compares the numbers on Instagram with the numbers on Hive, it's clear for her that at least 1% of IG worldwide users on Hive would be a significant improvement. So maybe the solution for her would be to fund those guys building the Instagram-like thing (
So we should go and get Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Federer, the Kardashians, there are plenty celebrities out there we could target on a quarterly basis (Hive DAO has some funding request that adds up to 100,000 a year... So I think we could afford some world class ads as well)
Those who got hooked because of the Reddit/blogging-like shape... A way to organize content in such a way you can easily spot the content your interested on. No more blocktrades informative post on trending (we had a day where 3 of his post were on top 10), and of course some sensible distribution of the upvotes... If talented artists such as 
But quochuy gets 200+ for his BBQ post... Here I think we could target this issue with two different approaches... First people who is friend with some whales should not be punished because of that, if you are a whale and want to give to your buddy a nice 200$ reward for his content you should be free to do so... So that new tipping feature on peaks might come handy to tackle this issue. I think that upvotes rewards also should have a way to factor in that amount of exposure a user drove to it's post. For instance if we have a hotty on Hive who's selfies drive millions of clicks, we should let her post has some kind of multiplier to enhance the rewards she got...
On this last aspect we also should hammer down spam and plagiarism... There are some nuclear options that were tested by JS messing out with the Steem API node, and maybe we can cement some nice precedents for users who are caught posting plagiarised content... For this to be done it should be carried out in a professional way, with appeal processes, public exposure of proofs, public and specific guidelines about the criteria and how this process can be enforced.
For crypto to have mass adoption as a legit method of payment, we have to make lots of sinks for our tokens, for instance Coursera, Udemy, Freelance business model can be perfectly adapt to work using Hive as the native currency, delivery services, entertainment sites with premium features, gambling and bets, etc. We could face an extended time period of quarantine if this virus issue doesn't get solved fast... This is also a huge opportunity for Hive and similar platforms to earn a solid position on the market (just look at pornhub traffic statistics lol)
Finally, crypto is not that interesting if we don't have +400% gains (or losses lol) in a 72 hours time frame... So we need Hive to drive brokers crazy with potential three fold gains or losses... Greed always fuels people lol 🤑. So we need a coin capable of jumping heavily on the market (to attract speculators) and we need to find a way to change HBD to make it a stable coin (to sustain the other businesses on Hive).
I think SMT can be created to allow issuance of tokens with different tokenomics to address each of the previously mentioned features, but I also think that the chain already can make all of this works as it is... It's just about integrating each vision about what Hive is all about and realise that each aspect of this site is what makes it have a tremendous potential. I think every aspect should be developed and improved as much as possible.
I look forward to your feedback.
Kind regards.
