I am one of those idealistic people, too. I have got that opportunity so I am.on HIVE, right place to be? I think so. I don't believe that million people will join in a short time. Yet, if the price of HIVE hikes, like $5-$10, that could be. I don't think that users that would come for price hike would beneficial for HIVE blockchain. They would leave in a potential price dip. Despite price effect, we need the users who will take a part on HIVE any time.
I ahne seen the people who come for price come and go a couple times already. However, each round a few more stay and grow to become part of the community to welcome the next. The volume that has gone, is a tiny fraction of what is to come.
