It is slow but it has the potential. We will see, over time, if it pans out. Hive is far from perfect so there can be ways to enhance this.
Personally, I think the focus upon the different applications is what will create a middle class. While the HIVE holdings might remained skewed, when you look at people's holdings, priced in HIVE (as the pair token), you could see a strong middle class.
Suddenly someone with a couple thousands HIVE has 40K or 50K when you add in all their holdings from Splinterlands, tribes, or other games.
