I am not a believer. And much less a religious guy of any kind. I don't think I ever was a tamed believer on anything and never have been one of them. As I have said many times before, for me there are no absolutes and there never have been any.

On other hand, I don't think I've ever been an optimist. At least not a hardcore optimist who only sees the good and never the bad or the less good, in the present and in the future. Nope! I guess it's because I've always been an extremely curious chap, supremely alert to details and with an immeasurable devotion and attention for analyzing everything that happens around me. And to top it off; with a very good memory! ¡Holy Smokes!

Therefore, I suspect that this does not makes me the best candidate for a captivating fortune teller or clairvoyant who only sees your future, my future, or anyone else's future in rose-colored glasses. That kind of fortune teller or clairvoyant you would always want to visit and listen to so they can tell you your rosy fate. That always favorable destiny.

But hey, that this doesn't mean I am always a negative or an unconditional pessimistic chap all the time either, eh? Let's just say it's just my natural tendency to usually be a little more realistic than most people. All simply because of being such a curious, observant, analytical, attentive to details and having a very good memory kind of guy. Yeah, not just because of that I can't see what others can see. I guess you'll have to blame it on all those undesirable flaws I have that no one else seems to have.

Because if it is about classifying, cataloging, pigeonholing and denominate more precisely the kind of chaps who like me possess these "undesirable attributes" in the divinatory fictional arts of foreseeing and seeing the future. Then sure, I will allow you to call me the same thing which I have called myself for as long as I can remember. My non-transferable tag/label. Yeah, I Am a ¡Defensive Pessimist!

«A Defensive Pessimist»

And it is precisely the fact that I am a defensive pessimist what makes me want to ask you what I'm gonna ask you today. So, answer the next questions without holding anything back please:

Do you think Hive will ever reach the price/value of $10 USD, $5 USD or $1 USD?
What do you think would actually have to happen for the Hive token to reach the price/value of $10 dollars, $5 dollars or even $1 dollar per token?
If you are optimistic enough in thinking that Hive will reach any of these prices/values without a doubt, then tell me: ¿How soon will it reach them?
Being me the old chap I am, do you think I will ever see and celebrate with you such high Hive prices/values?
¿Yes? ¿Yes to everything?

a) Alright, then I hope you can explain to us in a very concrete and objective way what it really takes for Hive to reach those prices/values and how we plan to do so.

b) And if this were really possible and I could witness it someday, please try to make your explanation less enthusiastic & optimistic and just a bit more realistic, otherwise it won't encourage or convince me much.

c) Because who knows? perhaps you are actually capable to know something in the present and see something in the future that a defensive pessimist cannot see or know. So yeah, please...
