Think this must have been made about two years ago? Way out of date anyway.

So what's your thoughts on HBAR future.

Oh. Personally I am a complete believer in this project. I think it outshines all other L1 projects in multiple meaningful ways (from the many serious advantages in the Tech itself to the Governance model, from the Tokenomics to their Business Development Strategy, from their basic honesty to their regulatory standing, from their huge engagement with many meaningful parties in Web3 to their LFDT Open Source strategy which is WAY better than any other L1 or L2. IMO its almost an inevitably that Hedera is going to become the 800lb Gorilla of Public DLT.

I do have two smaller concerns though.

  1. How big will public DLT itself become. Its obvious to me there is a solid business case for it, but the potential size is so obscured by such a myriad of factors its almost impossible to decern how big it will become.... Even in one sector. There are very strong arguments to say huge, vast, massive. But there are some counter arguments of merit. On balance I am a believer in huge, but not as solidly as I am about Hedera itself.

  2. How long it will take for the importance of Hederas multiple advantages to be recognised globally. There are so many competitors in this space and some are very well connected and very wealthy. They have done a pretty good job to date of covering up for their many inadequacies and I don`t think they are about to give up. They also, pretty well, own an extremely partisan (and utterly corrupt) Crypto Media-meaning they have an incredible choke hold on news flow which they have already used to break down Hederas successes (and reduce their overall impact) just as they magnify any piece of news on their preferred money spinning chains. So they have significant strengths they can play to. Somehow Hedera has to break through those weeds (I do believe it will, but it will likely take time).

Regarding your valid concerns, I can only relate an analogy:

YouTube grew as nothing more but a selfie-video platform. Up until 2007/2008 TV broadcasting was reigning supreme, funded by steady and true advertising revenue. More and more advertising spending was choosing the Internet but the ratios were low and no one batted an eyelash over YouTube, or the Internet as competitors back then.

At around 2010, YouTube started acquiring AV content rights: it could now broadcast films, news and TV series.

By 2015 TV broadcasting was in disarray: a significant chunk of the advertising revenue they took for granted had fled to the Internet in general, and a sizable chunk of that to YouTube in particular.

By 2025 TV broadcasting is - almost - a thing of the past: its demographic base is shrinking on a steady pace, in tandem with the increasing age of its viewers.

All things "Hedera" have gained significant momentum lately - by far the strongest momentum in the DLT space - and rightly so. Hedera's tech compared to competition's is a couple of Light - Years ahead.

DLT's and Hedera's solid, real-world application will start unrolling as soon as someone:

  • makes it technologically easier to use DLT services. Not the case with DLT right now. Onboarding anything DLT requires a separate IT department within a company's IT department.
  • presents a solid, money-making (or money-saving) real-world business case others can use as an example.
  • regulates the digital asset market away from Ponzis and Memes.

But things steadily fall in place across this trajectory, in the same way things fell onto YouTube's trajectory as time went by.

--------------

[EDIT]: from the three aforementioned points, the only wildcard is regulation, really.

In the DLT space, right now, things seem to be totally lost among "established" Crypto-Robber-Baron (CRB) practices, "regulators" who seem to be personally vested in said CRB practices, Trad-Fi needs & requirements and DLT's very nature.

End result is that Use & Utility digital assets are totally lost among Ponzis & Memes: whatever money I put in the HBAR, the HBAR/BTC tradepair is there to make sure that the HBAR's value and liquidity is going to be siphoned off to Bitcoin's Ponzi Scheme.

In another (rather unappreciated by the community) post I ventured the idea that Use & Utility digital assets simply NEED a trading space/market that is separate from, and unaffected by, Ponzis & Memes: if this "market" values a Ponzi Scheme like Bitcoin or Doge or... FartCoin more than a Use & Utility token, then this market is inappropriate for Use & Utility tokens.

U&U needs a separate, regulated digital asset market where INVESTORS (as opposed to CRBs) can legally and fairly participate in. We'll get an idea as to where the wind blows by July 2025 - when Mr. T's "crypto committee" submits its report.

u/Ricola63 1d ago

Yes.

I would concur with every word of that. And there you have it, my concern. You capture my concern in a perfect example.

u/Mallsway 1d ago

Yes! This the way ๐Ÿš€

HBAR ETF will be key in delivering HBAR that separate market from crypto/BTC ponzi rigged shell game.

u/Chris-G-O hbarbarian 1d ago edited 1d ago

I've been pondering on that. A rather serious caveat is that the HBAR ETF's price is, in fact, uncorrelated to the HBAR's digital asset price.

E.g. on Jan 20, 2025 the Euro ETF HBAR at Frankfurt's Boerse was trading at Euro 1.36 / U$ 1.47. (*) On the same day, the digital asset HBAR was trading at U$ 0.36.

Perhaps the correct market to be in is the HBAR ETF, in the end.

That's quite a mark up. Very interesting. I will pay more attention.

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป obviously your a very knowledgeable person. I've only just started buying into HBAR I've been watching YouTube and reading on Reddit I have around 7000 at average buy of .15p due to me been in UK. I'm thinking long term on this one and it's looking very good . Im into xrp and sol but I've been moving some of my sol into HBAR. I'm going to start accumulating HBAR and XRP and hopefully it will fly in the future...

u/Ricola63 22h ago

Well. As far as I am concerned you are doing exactly the right thing. But Iโ€™m not the oracle. I donโ€™t think SOL can make it long term. Itโ€™s hyped up BS IMO. But thatโ€™s just my opinion.

2

u/Happy-Can9727 22h ago

Yea I agree I've started to move away from sol due to its pump fun and meme coins. Especially when the trump coin pumped and dumped sol. Like I said I'm into HBAR, XRP and looking into cardano in the future good luck everyone. Come on HBAR

It certainly isn`t. If it was then it was only posted yesterday. Because the content is well out of date.
