If HIVE succeeds (no reason why it can't) with the smart contracts, universal NFTs, Leofi and Leofinance microblogging then it will definitely get more popular. However decentralization is key to ensure that there are no problems in the future. It is optimistic that anyone can spin up a node so assuming there are enough nodes running, it will make it extremely hard to stop the HIVE blockchain from running.
