I find it fascinating that the shortage of HBD is causing people to purchase more HIVE and convert it, which in turn affects the inflation rate of HIVE. It's also important to consider the potential consequences of HIVE being deflationary, such as less activity occurring on-chain and expansion being stunted due to reduced supply. However, the article does highlight the potential for simple demand created by utility to push the price of HIVE to insane levels, which is definitely worth considering. Overall, a great read for anyone interested in the Hive ecosystem.
