One of the things I like the most at HiveFest conferences is concreteness: when something already implemented is presented which brings utility to Hive, sometimes in a way many people wouldn't have thought about, particularly if they haven't followed these developments.
Plans are good and necessary, but they are in the future. When you hear something like "we've already done this" or "we've launched it" or even "it's ready to be integrated", it's fantastic.
We had a few such cases during this year's Hivefest. More if we think about products that were launched since the last HiveFest and talked about briefly, but without going into details or making them the focus of the presentation.
Have you seen Wavio's presentation? If you haven't, @grampo made it easy for you, and included both his talk and the actual slides in a post.

He presented at every Hivefest for some time now, and always comes up with something new from Wavio for HiveFest. I don't remember his early presentations, but I do remember the one from last year and this one. And not only does he present the new developments for the platform, he always includes concrete websites that use his platform in practice and you can see a lot of work has been put on the administration side to add products, or in this year's case, thousands of locations on the map for camping sites in the US or independent coffee shops. Distriator also uses Wavio's back-end.
And all this is on Hive. What is this? Useful data, even more than the software that manipulates it. This is a form of quality data for various niches.
And we know data is quickly becoming one of the most important commodities of the humanity. Bitcoin is scarce? So is data in a world where AIs are always hungry for more.
I wonder if there will come a time in the future where Hive financials will be backed by its data, to some degree, since we have all this data saved on chain and more generated all the time. It was a point Khal made in one of the panels, at least, to have as much data stored on chain as possible. True, he mentioned it in relation to increasing RC costs when there will be more demand, which would lead to a higher price for HIVE, organically.
