Owww maybe when someone decides to bring a social network to some other chain, that could be KOINOS.
If the KOINOS eco-system, community and team play their cards right, it has the potential to play ball with the big guys/chains of today.
Smart contracts, free tx on base layer (the RC system of HIVE but different implementation that doesn't require to lock a lot of tokens, but just enough tokens for a transaction). No proposal systems. Generated base chain tokens only for those who run the network. A different implementation of PoW/PoS/DPos, a combo taking the best of all these by Proof-of-Burn. The community already created one of the dev languages (typescript) and included by the team in the final product/chain, a wallet, a DEX with a similar/same look/feel as to what we all know from the DEX services around the top chains.
I do believe in HIVE still. Though I believe either it may get its next boost by more popular Splinterlands, and/or by what 3Speak is trying to do, andf/or by something new that nobody knows about right now. KOINOS will get a boost because it is much more similar to a general-purpose chain to HIVE (HIVE currently is a social networking chain, with the token distribution to content, something I believe HIVE shall get ride of. Content rewards shall be 2nd layer). I wish both will become a major success 🙃
