The biggest block to growth (in my opinion) isn't the price of the token, or lack of engagement, or spammy posts, or circle jerks... but that people expect "Log in with Facebook and start creating" levels of ease-of-use,...

I agree with this 1000%. It is the holdup to Hive. In 4 years, we did little to progress along the ease of use scale. We are still in a very "techy" realm which is not where the masses operate.

...to remember that we need to bring people what they want, not try to "force people to want what we HAVE."

This is also a point I feel vital. It is why I always felt that Layer 2 solutions are what need to be developed and marketed. Bringing people in at that level does so because "they have an interest*, not because of Hive.

I have never quite been able to shake feelings I have had since first learning about Bitcoin around 2013, that cryptocurrencies are as much "a solution looking for a problem" as vice-versa.

That might have been accurate, although things changed greatly since 2013. We have a lot of issues that cropped up since then. I think the liquidity issue is something that is much bigger today than it was 7 or 8 years ago when the technological impact on the global economy was less. We also hear talk about censorship which, while perhaps not horrific at the moment, is going to get worse as time goes by.

Also, the limitations of Bitcoin are being surpassed with newer technologies. Bitcoin does have its place in my opinion as a store of value. Beyond that, I still dont see a great deal of use cases for it.
