People should be free to do with their stake as they wish. Most users that came here in the early days were sold on earning money online.

Why else would they be here grinding away for the few pennies that they can get.

Where the real issue lies is in the apps build on the chain. They should all be profitable and not draining money from the system that helps them to run.

One of our next steps on sportsblocks.app is integrating ads. Now we only have a handful of users but every bit of revenue that we can generate will help to run the app and then to buy hive form the market to benefit our community and the wider eco-system. It's going to be tiny to start but that's where we have to start. If we can even buy $100 of hive off the market every month that's a net gain for the app and for hive.

If every app on hive could do the same or even better if we could combine in one strong ad package that earned multiples of this every month it would put real sustainable buying pressure on the token and give us a platform to rebuild our whole economy.

It won't be easy but unless the different teams can put their heads together and create external revenue then the price will keep dropping indefinitely.

We can't pray for a bull market to save the chain but we can all do our part to soak up the excess hive and build the price which is the best marketing any chain can do. If Hive was $2 today you can believe our userbase would be multiple times higher than it is right now.
