While it may be possible, I think we have tapped into most of the blog for rewards so we need to rely on more applications. In fact we would probably need quite a few more Splinterlands to increase the transactions on the network.
I don't think there will be many people converting HIVE into HBD because of the 5% tax. If they did then that would mean HBD would be way off peg and it wouldn't be a stable coin anymore.
Also what do you mean by people not caring about HIVE as content rewards? I still think HIVE and HP is still needed for the network unless people get resource credits paid for them by someone else.

When you will be converting significantly high amounts of HBD, that 5% will become irrelevant. Because as you keep buying hive, the hive you bought earlier will have greater value in HBD. So it balances itself out and also be profitable.
What I mean about content rewards paid by Hive is that when network has grown to a certain point, layer two content rewards will be more interesting and communities will become self-sustaining. There will be no need for Hive content rewards. Hive will be needed to power layer to applications, communities, and economies and mainly used for RC purposes.
I didn't know about this tax for conversion ! But 5% tax on a 12% apy token isn't really hard :')

The 5% conversion means that it might be cheaper to buy HBD off an exchange rather than trying to buy HIVE and paying an extra 5% fee.

Yeah ! I just looked at how to convert hive to HBD and I just learned that it only converts half of the amount !

Yea it doesn't convert everything but I am not particularly sure because I only did that once when the peg was further up.
