Absolutely yes.
Lately I've discussed briefly an idea of an entity similar to hive.fund where users could send Hive to receive some form of stablecoin. So let's say I send $200 worth of Hive to receive 100 HBDs. Those HBDs could then be wrapped and sent to ETH network for buying other tokens etc. To receive back my locked Hive, I would need to send the HBDs back (+ fee?).
This could help a little with the HBD peg but much more importantly this would allow me to hold 2 tokens - Hive and whatever other crypto I would buy using the wHBD. I think that services like these are crucial for Hive not only when it comes to thriving, but also survival. Blogging should be only the entry point.
Also this :)
