I think this is a conversation that needs to be had in public forums. To often, the only thing the uninformed masses care about is "NUMBER GO UP" at all costs, including long-term, sustainable growth and financing of real-world projects.
There is so much rampant speculation in the cryptocurrency space that people often forget the entire reason why they are in it in the first place: yield. They want an ROI above the measly USD-denominated bank returns on savings accounts or money market funds.
You can currently earn 20% on $HBD in Hive Savings - no one else offers anything close to that, nor as stable or consistent as a return. Investors, especially with big assets or cash supply, desire stable returns and consistency above all else - hence why USTs have been so popular, despite not yielding much overall in the past several years.
What can we do to help promote the use and adoption of hivelist.io? That seems to be Hive's first attempt at creating a blockchain-based eBay/Etsy alternative.
