There are a lot of proposals getting funding but it is not clear how coordinated they are and whether they aggregate (whether spontaneously or though some "nudges") in a coherent vision of where Hive (which is the backbone of the community) is headed.

One of the elements of @howo's proposal is facilitating the monthly core dev's meetings which are recorded and posted, with a transcript, on @howo's blog. Here's a recent one. While this doesn't address fully the question of a coherent vision for Hive, it does allow us, the owners of Hive, the opportunity to scrutinise what's happening and put forward our own proposals (whether for funding by the DHF or not) for a vision for discussion, critiquing and evolving.

I like the idea of a Euro-backed Hive token and I guess that once the principles are in place, it could be extended over time to other fiat currencies. I wonder how many Hive users there are in the Eurozone and how this compares to other geographical regions. I know @steevc has published some work on this in the past (I believe he has a script), perhaps we could ask him to update that and include an aggregation for the Eurozone.

I'd also be interested in crypto adoption across the Eurozone and how that compares with Hive adoption. In the UK, the last report (about 18 months out of date now, I'm expecting the next one in June) suggests that about 3.0 million people hold or have held cryptocurrencies (roughly 4.5% of the population). Using @steevc's last Brit report, by comparison, it looks like there are 508 resident accounts with at least 1 HP (170 active posting).
