The idea you are citing is rather moronic. Those who are "selling" their Hive to live is exactly the people we want on here. Jeez, people make like they are the only ones who do that. Arent a lot of the witnesses doing the same thing and in much larger amounts? But they have bills to pay like server costs. That is true and people in the 3rd world have bills to pay like food.
People who target that group of people truly do not understand the network effect. If Hive has 100K people from Nigeria and another 100K from Venezuela, what do you think the price of the token would be even if all of them were selling? That would be 200K people on Hive daily interacting, not counting those of us from other countries.
Facebook, Google, and other such companies showed what the network effect is worth. Having a couple hundred thousand users on Hive would skyrocket the price and bring in people who would swallow up all the HIVE that is being sold for food and medicine.

Lol, I deal with a lot of moronic ideas every time I look at twitter. Less so on Hive, but I am trying to be soft on whoever feels this way because calling them morons probably won't work 😄, an explanation might. I actually have only heard this two or three times in my 4 years here.
Also this post was more about getting everyone on the same page and helping some new friends think about something they may not have thought about.
