I'm glad we all want Hive to be used for more than just trading. However we need to compete in our niche, social media! We can't be the top if we focus on being top blockchain based applications. 

I hear people talk less about the economic incentives behind Hive and I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Do we need to change something? I think if we direct incentives we can see natural growth from dApp makers, content creators, users .. etc
