Buying and burning tokens doesn't help much. The right thing to do would be to buy BEE and create a pool in the VYB:SWAP.HIVE pairs (maybe ask @trostparadox, @scholaris, @calumam to use POB funds from an account like @x-1pob-1vyb to create the pool).
The problem with H-E tokens is that the majority of those who have the token will vote for those who only use the Tag, but are not participating in the community, so the community doesn't grow and those who use the Tag will see the token as an airdrop and will just sell the token and that's it. H-E will only have a future when they treat the token as a community and not a simple tag.
Other tokens are similar to PALnet, they left the DAO released on the tribaldex, the community doesn't even care, those who hold it don't care, so someone went there and stole with DAO proposal 50 million PAL tokens and destroyed the price.
That said, I tell you that the problem with H-E tokens is not HBD's APR, but how they are managed.
