1/3 hive doesn't earn necessarily. it works because the more people who sign up, the more resource credits are needed to be staked in order for them to interact with the community on chain.

the dapps also want to give their new users resource credits to give them a free feel experience. this means that the dapps will accumulate more hive as the network affect takes hold with new sign ups.

3/4 the dapps will not sell their hive at any price since their dapps will stop working. This means hive has a default intrinsic value.

in short. the bigger the network affect, the greater the demand for resource credits, the greater the demand for the hive token, the more supported the price of the token is
