Hey acid, very interesting and valuable post.
My take 100% to the point.
Spending any amount on advertising without getting our shit done (onboarding made easy as 1-2-3, major exchange listings and stable and tested L2 smart contracts) is a complete waste.
Plus, we are financing through inflation, adding non-stop selling pressure(a very relevant now should say).
We should let HIVE price breath for a bit and try to stabilize it a a higher level. Currently we are drowning onto our DHF and valueplan non-stop expenses. We need many thousands of $$ daily JUST to keep us at the current price.
