DLT

East-Day-7888

Because blockchain is a 3 decade old technology and other types of DLT exist. And I dont invest in the past, I invest in the future. Just because regulations are finally catching up on all DLT, doesn't mean blockchain is going to be what the future and web3 operate on. The hashgraph DAG is orders of magnitude better than any blockchain in existence. Saying blockchain or hashgraph is like saying DvD vs. Digital encoded media like streaming or downloading. Yea, both will show you a movie. But they are not even close to playing the same game. Hbar is infinitely scaleable, architecturally immune to front running. Has absolutely finiality at the mathematically highest possible standard of abft, at 3-5 seconds, and it does it to where use cases that need to remain private can operate their own shard and remain within their own regulations. Think if any tech problem any block chain has it, and hbar has already solved it. There is not a trilemma to solve on hashgraphs, it doesnt one, there is not a reconciliation problem on hbar, its not a tower of blocks. There is not a scalability problem. Shards can operate independently and privately and still be reconciled flawlessly. I could keep going, but instead of listing features, maybe it might need better to ask you what got you into crypto.

Lol who talks like that?? You are definitely an engagement bot since you refer to him as DLT Jesus with the world on his shoulders. He is chief scientist of Hashgraph, not HBAR, nor Hedera, nor Hedera Hashgraph, nor HBAR Foundation, nor Hashgraph Association, nor Hedera Governing Council. Do you even know the various organizations that you shill for?

HBAR reaches consensus the fastest of all tokens and has the best security (aBFT) of all tokens. It is unique that is uses Hashgraph DLT instead of a Blockchain, and that is what makes it unique.

That's an odd comparison no one asked for. You're comparing to Bitcoin, a 7 TPS blockchain notorious for having worst throughput of any DLT and for having weak spam resistance that can only be fought off with high fees. It's not going to be a real contest. Bitcoin fees jumped up to $500/Tx when Inscriptions/Ordinals were popular. It doesn't have enough throughput to scale or fight off spam. And Bitcoin's SegWit encourages spam. I would focus more on explaining and breaking down why Nano's spam and PoW model are efficient and secure. You didn't explain it in a way a layman could understand.

Honestly, Google summarizes it better than I ever could: XRP vs. HBAR: A comparison XRP and Hedera (HBAR) are both prominent cryptocurrencies utilizing unique technologies and aiming to solve different problems in the crypto space. Here's a breakdown of their key features and distinctions: 1. Underlying technology XRP Ledger: A permissionless, open-source blockchain designed specifically for payments. It uses a unique consensus algorithm known as the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA). Hedera Hashgraph: Employs a revolutionary distributed ledger technology (DLT) called Hashgraph. This technology, based on Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) rather than a linear blockchain, utilizes a unique gossip protocol and virtual voting for achieving consensus, according to Hedera. 2. Speed and scalability XRP Ledger: Processes around 1,500 transactions per second (TPS) and settles transactions in 3-5 seconds. Hedera Hashgraph: Can handle up to 10,000 TPS, achieving transaction finality in 3-5 seconds. 3. Transaction fees XRP Ledger: Features exceptionally low transaction fees, typically around 0.00001 XRP per transaction. Hedera Hashgraph: Also boasts very low fees, with a fixed fee of $0.001 per transaction, paid in HBAR. 4. Use cases XRP: Primarily focuses on cross-border payments and remittance services, enabling faster and cheaper international money transfers for financial institutions. Hedera: Supports a wider range of applications, including decentralized finance (DeFi), identity management, tokenization, supply chain management, and more, according to Coinrule. 5. Governance XRP Ledger: Relies on a Unique Node List (UNL) of validators, selected and managed by Ripple Labs, leading to a degree of centralization. Hedera Hashgraph: Governed by a council of up to 39 diverse organizations spanning various industries, aiming for a more decentralized and stable network management, according to CoinMarketCap. 6. Security XRP Ledger: Employs a robust consensus mechanism designed to resist common attack vectors, relying on the trust of vetted validators. Hedera Hashgraph: Leverages its Hashgraph algorithm to achieve asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT), which ensures high security even if some nodes are compromised. 7. Staking XRP: Does not support traditional staking. However, some platforms offer interest-bearing accounts for depositing XRP. Hedera: Operates on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, allowing HBAR holders to stake their tokens to secure the network and earn rewards, according to CoinMarketCap. 8. Energy efficiency XRP: Issued its entire supply at launch and doesn't rely on mining, resulting in minimal energy consumption. Hedera: Minimizes computational processes with its DAG technology, making it extremely energy-efficient, using only about 0.00017 kWh per transaction. Conclusion Both XRP and Hedera offer efficient and promising solutions in the world of distributed ledger technologies, but with different focuses and approaches. XRP excels in its niche of high-speed, low-cost cross-border payments for financial institutions, with deep integration into traditional financial systems. Hedera provides a more versatile platform for a broader range of enterprise-level decentralized applications, driven by its unique Hashgraph technology and diversified governance model. Ultimately, the choice between them depends on your specific goals and priorities, whether it's optimizing payments or building scalable and secure dApps.

Yes, a DLT can technically handle both messaging and settlement, but that doesn’t magically solve the complexities of global finance. Also, if it were to magically replace it, you would need 11,500 banks on board with it which wont happen. You first need to understand *why* Swift exists in the first place as blockchain is an extension of the financial system not a replacement.

ThriceHawk

Absolutely not. ISO20022 is not replacing SWIFT whatsoever... SWIFT has been the one instrumental in promoting and facilitating its adoption for their 11,500 financial institutions/banks. They began migrating to it for cross border payment messages in 2022 and have had a phased approach to go live in November of this year. RippleNet is simply compliant with ISO20022, just like XLM, ADA, ALGO, HBAR, QNT, IOTA, XDC, and..... Chainlink. But Chainlink is by far the most involved in it. They are partnered with SWIFT and have been working with them for years now, rolling through a PoC and live trials to help SWIFT facilitate DLT based cross-border payments for all of their member institutions. Banks will be able to create their own stablecoins (like JP Morgan is doing, working with Chainlink as well), and they'll be able to integrate with other blockchains using SWIFT's standards and Chainlink's CCIP for interoperability. Eliminating the need for intermediaries like Ripple. But Ripple will still be useful for the smaller banks/financial institutions, they just will have competition for it and won't attract the large banks who can create their own on Ethereum, etc.

I don't care about investing in crypto or price speculation. Technology-wise, Hedera is solid. It's arguably the most secure DLT due to the exception-high cost of attack. Probably around 100x more expensive than the cost of attacking Bitcoin and 20x more expensive than the cost of attacking Ethereum L1.

CyanDew

idk. i feel like u/the_rodent_incident had some good intel, but the take on DLT and blockchain as a whole is very shortsighted. Bitcoin is money regardless of the block size limitation. blockchain is the new foundation for our physical infrastructure. DeFi will bring the financial sector to those who don’t have access to traditional centralized banking. worth investing into things like Ripple, Cosmos, Quant, Ondo, Stellar, Stronghold, Zebec, Metallicus for long term prospects.

koopdi

The hashgraph is a remarkable advancement in DLT.

rsa121717

SEC v Ripple is just a part of a whole show the government is putting on, and it started with that DLT patent from the 80s/90s. Government is behind BTC and XRP, theres a whole agenda. A few directions you can go from there, but its a thought I like to toy with

HSuke

This is using Goldman Sachs Digital Asset Platform (GS DAP), which uses a permissioned private DLT.

Yep it's a scam. BlockDAG is a DLT invented by Kaspa team.

East-Day-7888

Lmao, i have been following DLT for 4 years. Only since the last 2 months has anyone come around to hbar and thats because utility does not care about retail sentiment. Until the last two month hbar was The Mosr Hated Crypto on the market, as it Flys a flag in the face of "cyber punk sovereign nation currency" ideals. To this day its still pegged a corpo coin. But guess what retail cares more about making money and its happening with or without cypherpunks

Longjumping-Bonus723

Oh boy. There are many reports by banks and other relevant institutions and researchers that say that the value of DLT is in permissioned public chains like HBAR. Everything else can be used by community nerds for play or for anonymous robin hood dreams but none of them hold any value to the real world of finance or the general economy. That's the real world. That's why projects like HBAR went from #55 in marketcap to TOP20

HSuke

Thanks for the insightful information. Sometimes I feel like we need a degree for blockchain/DLT etymology to decipher some of these. 2 minor points I'd like to add: * There's a chance Ethereum validators' vote for increasing the block gas limit from 36M to 45M or 60M will reach thr necessary 50% threshold by the time of Fusaka's release. This will greatly increase throughout. * EOF might no longer be important if Ethereum moves to RISC-V architecture * There are also discussions to decrease block time from 12s to 3-6s

CunningStunt_1

I agree with you principle. But what we are all interested in, is how do we profit from this? It has been clear for years now, that every bank/business/institution will run its own chain. So holding a layer 1 or 2 gas token is stupid. The only way i can see, is buying infrastructure that is already the standard. That tradfi is already using. That has a product that is not easily replacable, such as a blockchain/DLT.

Forest for the trees. Settlement is a commodity. Which is cheap and easily replacable. There are 1000's of DLT/blockchain/database based products which do what you claim is unique. >fragmented systems that weren’t designed for real time or 24/7 use. Agreed. How do you link those existing systems? Its sure as shit isn't a blockchain. They can't reliably link between existing web2 infrastructure. You can also guarantee that entire banking system in the western world isn't going to all change to a singluar system. Most of these FI operate on 50 years of technical debt based on fucking COBOL. I made a post of that [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1lfacia/you_dont_replace_the_financial_system_you_improve/) >it’s about who can actually move value under those compliance rules, not just signal them Wrong. Moving value is easy. Automating the compliance systems. Solving fragmentation is the golden goose.

ChatGPT but I think it’s fairly accurate. XRP (Ripple): The crypto equivalent of a messy court case. It’s like the divorced dad of your portfolio — promises it’s turning things around, but it’s been in litigation longer than “The Winds of Winter” has been in draft. Every time XRP pumps, someone shouts “ISO 20022!” like it’s a magic spell. It’s not. ZEBEC: Streaming payments on Solana? Great in theory — if Solana could stay online long enough. Zebec sounds like the name of a budget sci-fi villain, and right now its token price is about as scary as a balloon animal. ONDO: Tokenized real-world assets sound sexy until you realise you’re basically trying to make TradFi cool. It’s like slapping NFTs on a filing cabinet and calling it DeFi. You’re betting on regulators to be innovative. Bold. Hedera (HBAR): Enterprise-friendly DLT that’s “governed by giants” like Google and IBM… who all forgot they were on the council. Feels like the guy in your friend group who keeps name-dropping, but no one can remember what he actually does. Stellar (XLM): Built for cross-border payments — just like XRP. Because who doesn’t love a redundant token in the same portfolio? If XRP is the divorced dad, XLM is the quiet sibling who works at a nonprofit and always gets overlooked. Has been “about to moon” since 2017. Algorand (ALGO): Developed by an MIT professor, and it still can’t get invited to the cool kids’ table. It’s efficient, green, and utterly ignored. If crypto had a high school yearbook, ALGO would be voted “Most likely to have great tech that no one uses.” Cardano (ADA): Slow, academic, and constantly “about to launch smart contracts.” ADA is the PhD student who’s been ABD (“all but done”) for five years. Fans treat Charles Hoskinson like a tech messiah, but he’s really just crypto’s Tolkien — detailed worldbuilding, zero delivery. XCN (Chain): Wait, this one got rebranded like three times, right? Chain is trying so hard to be taken seriously it forgot to bring actual utility. You know it’s bad when your coin chart looks like a ski slope. JASMY: The meme token pretending it’s not a meme. Japanese IoT data rights token? Cool story. Except it trades like someone spilled Pepsi on a Dogecoin fork. Your investment thesis here is pure hopium and vibes. ⸻ Final verdict: This portfolio is like a crypto museum — filled with relics from the “next big thing” era. It screams, “I bought the narrative, not the chart.” You’ve got enterprise tokens no one uses, ISO-compliant has-beens, and enough dead weight to sink a floaty in a kiddie pool. Roast rating: 8.7/10 Hold tight - At least you’re diversified across underperformers — that’s… something.

100% The only future for crypto is DLT like Hedera

TPS is a meme. Why does TPS matter when every large vol institution can spin up their own DLT Linux foundation chain in a matter of hours? TPS stopped mattering when every bank will run it's own chain. Catch up.

You are in the wrong community. There are some growing legit developer environments for networks like Hedera or any real world asset tokenization around smart contracts. I don't think there is a better use for DLT so far.

Can't agree more. Decentralized AI is the future. However, it's against big tech's interest to decentralized their AI Models, their data centers for obvious reasons... But that doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. Just like when DLT and bitcoin came out, it's against traditional finance's interest and government's interestm but it didn't stop and it wouldn't stop.

HBAR.. why.. the preferred DLT of Fortune 500 companies.. just watch Hedera will dominate the AI space.. for those that know Leemon’s PHD was in AI :🤖

HBAR has a centralized entity to govern (the Governing Council), which is a decentralized group of 39 members, each with one equal vote. Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras - University) vote is equal to Google's vote on all matters of governance. Equal, decentralized, different sectors, different countries, different industries, all have one equal vote. Hedera is very different than Ripple. Ripple can't scale, they have trash security, and the large majority of "Ripple use cases" will not use XRP. Let's both agree that Ripple is trash and move on. Hedera is not insecure, in fact, it has the BEST mathematically possible security (aBFT). No other chain comes close to Hedera's security actually, including ETH. Hedera is superior. Undisputed champion of security, not likely to be beaten for the next 100+ years. "No serious institution is going to use a corporate Blockchain" -- do you hear yourself? 😂 ETH served it's purpose. Thank you ETH, for basically standardizing EVM Smart Contract language. But step aside, the final evolution of DLT has arrived, and it's name is Hedera Hashgraph.

Substantial_Fun3062

Well to be honest I had no idea there were that many private blockchains by banks. Something I will have to look into and adjust my outlook apparently. I still believe DLT tech is the future of anything tokenized. I would imagine smaller banks and credit unions wouldn't use their own but I could be wrong. Hbar is already tokenizing the Nairobi stock exchange in Kenya, I know its a small step but it still means something as far as adoption goes. There are also some really good projects being developed leveraging hederas tech. EQTY labs, neuron, dovu. I suppose anything could happen, but in my opinion DLT has the best chance of revolutionizing the way we do finance.

You should really read Overledger developer documentation because it is so different from what you're describing. **Quant Overledger is not an L2 or anything like it.** A canonical L2 rollup would need to post rollup data to a data availability layer across a rollup bridge. Overledger does not do that. It's just API software that interacts with exist node software across ~6 different public DLTs. **In contrast, Quant Overledger is just middleware that connects to various DLT node software that can be run by a single centralized enterprise/entity (e.g. the customer). It doesn't need a separate 3rd-party bridge because IT IS the centralized bridge.** This is similar to solutions already provided by other popular node software companies like QuickNode, Alchemy, MultiChain, Chainlink, Consensys, and Chainstack. Those companies have actual products and revenue streams, and don't need a token like QNT to run. I suspect most of Quant's customers (like Oracle and banks) are going to be using a centralized DLT like Hyperledger Besu or Hyperledger Fabric, and then using Overledger as a bridge to connect crosschain to other DLTs.

There is nothing wrong with that. All I am really saying is if you are building smart contracts, wouldn't you want to use the best? Right now, Hedera Consensus is being utilized by SpaceX, Nvidia chips, Decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin) like Neuron, Carbon credit market/ supply chain OS named Dovu, and also a killer borrow lend platform, DEX, and all that. Dovu migrated from etherum to Hedera and was recently awarded 2 different billion dollar contracts in the last month. The price of Dovu tokens shows that, it is up 175% in the last month and still climbing because it is something innovated, and all through Hedera. Neuron will be another big player. Also WiseKey and SealSQ are utilizing Hedera as well, and they are also big players. Most people don't even talk about Hedera because they don't want to admit that there is a DLT out there being used by real business that is not a blockchain. And there is good reason that companies are using Hedera, partnering with Hedera. And the developer community is very helpful and not at all some centralized network masquerading and decentralized.

Aconyminomicon

There are currently AI agents on Hedera for fast and inexpensive SC calls that already scale. They use a Hashgraph DLT which is far superior to any blockchain or PoS. They have aBFT security which is the best of any decentralized network. And they have a developer playground to do every thing you mentioned but faster and less expensive. There are no need for any ZK roll ups because it already scales. You can create smart contracts without even knowing how to code, and implement AI agents to automate the calls. The security is far superior to kaspa and if you look into the Hedera ecosystem, there are several gems utilizing the network that have gone up 200% in value in the last month due to real world adoption. TL:DR Hedera is a better network for smart contracts. They are EVM compatible, use AI Agents, and don't need any ZK rollups because it already scales. Plus way less expensive and better security than any other network. If I am wrong please inform me because I am doing erc721 and erc1155 on Hedera because they have everything set to go from the start, ready to scale, with the best security, and the lowest fees, and AI running the SC's.

Bitcoin is a shit coin. What's its use case? Can't scale, environmentally fucked, expensive, clunky. Just a store of value. Dinosaur. ISO tokens XRP, XDC, HBar, XLM, Qnt. DLT is the new infrastructure to a new financial System with Quant Network"s Overledger, the programmable interface which will power the entire Web 2 to Web 3 space including the Finternet.

HSuke

I swear people keep forgetting how Bitcoin reorged (a rollback) 30+ blocks twice (in 2010 and 2013) to fix similar-level catastrophes. No, it's not a PoS issue. Most PoS blockchains do not allow rollbacks, and neither can SUI. In order to rolback, they would need to hard fork the DLT.

00roast00

I think so. People have become wise to getting scammed by meme coins and coins that really have nothing of value to add. Bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold, but tokens like Hedera will be the future of the DLT market which I believe will rocket in the coming years.

OkAwareness6282

Can you explain what real utility eth has compared to the DLT coins ? What areas is it better meaning speed , cost of TPS, energy consumption per transactions, time to finality of a transaction. What ways is it more secure that others aren’t?

East-Day-7888

Well I don't pack um with garbage that's for sure. And the reason you hear hbar and chainlink so much is because dtcc and swift have already made announcements/have pending pattents, For the two DLT. So yea, pretty much the entire global trade network its pretty big news.

Dehavilland52

Hbar - nothing even close to it in the DLT space!

MinimalGravitas

> they stopped using it because DLT is a meme. ETH network is not exempt from this That's an interesting claim, but then how do you explain: - Visa's 'Real World Asset' tokenization platform; - Blackrock's tokenized securities platform; - UBS's tokenized investment platform; - Wisdom Tree's RWA tokenization platform; - Deutsche Bank's L2; - Sony/Samsung's L2; - Paypal's stablecoin business payment system; etc etc... Why would those companies build their financial applications on 'a meme'?

Tethered9

[Atma.io](http://Atma.io) did not stop using Hedera because they are a shitty network, they stopped using it because DLT is a meme. ETH network is not exempt from this, but they would never know it, because they never had a [Atma.io](http://Atma.io) use to begin with 😂

I don't use belief as an investment strategy. I would suggest you shouldn't either. The value of blockchain/DLT is it's transparency. i can clearly see on chain, XRP is about 10x (prob more) overvalued compared to the rest of the market. https://xrpscan.com/ The big boys are coming. They won't be using belief to invest. They will be using all the information available to them. Good luck.

Renowned_Molecule

Bruh, you should research the “miners” .. small group of college kids doing PoW basically. … Sadly PoW takes value away from the world. .. There is no PoW chain that could solve micro transactions. But, cryptographic technologies have lead to DLT and directed acyclic graphics.. Gl on the journey.

nestiebein

Alt coins are trash unless it provides a real solution to some problems like HBAR for DLT in AI.

KeySpecialist9139

There are quite a few use case scenarios that didn't work out. I can list them from the top of my head actually, since I work in this field: Maersk, German stock exchange, JP Morgan, Kodak, Sidney stock exchange and list pribably goes on. The cost/effectiveness ratio for blockchain is not that good. Simple SQL or DLT just works better. Fact-check me if you want. 😉

SeemedGood

No, in my analogy DLT is the internet and BTC (like AOL) is an early market leading and comparatively deficient system of access to the underlying tech. And the BTC maxis make the same arguments excusing an inferior product as the AOL maxis did back in 1997.

Ch40440

Didn’t realize it’s basically how blockchains operate, but they offer additional functionality beyond traditional DLT’s

You really dont know what DLT is do you. sometimes i forget that this sub is mostly about gambling and not about technology. my bad.

Substantial_Fun3062

They will definitely use a DLT and not a blockchain

Aconyminomicon

AI shill post because ETH is losing dev's left and right. This technology is old and not even complete. There are several other DLT's (DAG's, Hashgraphs', etc) that are far more complex and efficient than a very old blockchain that can't scale and has an entire layer 2 ecosystem, where as other chains don't need layer 2's and are already sharding.

Aconyminomicon

Not disappear, nah. I am suggesting they could do a couple things. 1. Stick with Bitcoin and jack up the fee's 2. Use their hardware to mine another large crypto, specifically one that has been forked from Bitcoin 3. The mining companies could, in theory, get enough power to fork Bitcoin again. And there goes the "scarcity" claims and "decentralization" that Bitcoin promises. Like I was saying, Bitcoin and most other layer 1's can not scale and are thus incomplete. Just look at Ethereum collapsing in front of us. They has how many "scalable" layers but they could never shard. But the thing is, other than monero, we don't need miners to reach consensus on a ledger. You know who already has a sharded and decentralized network with fixed fees pegged to the dollar and is actually carbon negative? Hedera. If you want to learn what a real decentralized ledger and its use in the real world, this link is worth a listen. It's a very old harvard talk by one of the creators of G2G hashgraph protocol and is very informative about how blockchain can not scale (trilema) where as a hashgraph DLT is already sharding and doing 100k's of Tx a second, thus why their validators are publicly traded companies and not inside mysterious whales (Eth/Sol). No other layer 1 can do this because just like Bitcoin, most are unfinished projects built on speculative hype and marketing with a confusing base layer all in the hope that they can solve a problem that doesnt really exist. Hashgraph is the grown up DLT in the room, thats why you don't hear about it. Blockchain is sitting at the kids table begging for attention and your money.

The fact that Vitalik Buterin talks about privacy for Ethereum transactions must have lent an aura of legitimacy to privacy as a concept. Perhaps Monero will come back into the spotlight due to this. Well, it already has. When Vitalik, the co-founder of a fantastic DLT/smart contract technology, talks about privacy, this helps those who believe in transactional privacy. So ETH gets transactional privacy, and XMR goes into price discovery. It's a shame you can't buy these on a typical CEX, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago. But buying 1 XMR one way or another might turn out to be a good idea after all.

The guy responding to you is the typical Hedera hater who knows basically nothing about the difference in hashgraph DLT vs blockchain DLT. They don't know that Hedera is a solution to many problems, and inversly, 99% of large cap crypto like SOL/DOT/ETH/ADA are all different solutions to problems no one really has. If the coin isn't ISO20022 compliant, then the coin is not going to hold up long term. If you can't plug in to the existing framework like ISO compliant coins can, then why would SWIFT or any other network devote their own time and money into helping people use inferior networks like Solana or Ethereum. When SOL and ETH got ETF applications, nothing happened. When HBAR got its ETF application and only the application, it did a 6x. The smart money knows where to go but the average crypto person is psychologically manipulated with group think, echo chambers, and perpetual promises that will never be delivered.

Hbar or some kind of DLT will be king in the years to come. Eth and sol will be irrelevant

Hey tell me how I can run a hedera validator at home? Oh wait, I can’t, because it’s a centralized larp network. **Congrats on not understanding the core tenants of what compose DLT.**

East-Day-7888

Hedera is not built in eth. You could build eth on hedera, but you could never build hedera in eth. Hedera has absolute finaility, true ordering. Any L2 built on Eth would have to sacrifice both of those features. As eth will never be able to do either. To give you an idea of why that's important, those two things are the reason Hedera is legitimately the only DLT that a stock exchange could build on.

Heypisshands

Research hedera and what makes it better than every other dlt. Research DLT.

HvRv

This is where he is wrong and where many people will fall. Btc is no different from some of these other L1s. It is DLT and how you get to consensus is different. That's what sets them apart. People will say all kinds of offensive shit to protect their investment and also cult like mind set is now kinda normal in this place. Under the hood, a software that writes the same ledger on many machines at the same time. Some have other bells and whistles and can also write full small scripts on this ledger. But what's under the hood makes them usable in variaty of use cases.. Now, the biggest difference in Genslers opinion is speculation, but it's kinda weird that he thinks BTC is not speculation. Like, the whole stock market is speculation. The difference is that with stocks you kinda speculate on the success of the company, revenue, product etc. In crypto that part was never here. I cannot stress this enough, every use case of the BTC, at this moment, is basically lost. There is now only speculation that the price of BTC will go up to a million dollars because many people believe in it and will buy it and thet there are some super rich folk pushing it. Other L1 lost the battle of speculation and people said, ah...this will not reach 1 million dollars so no point in investing in it. They never said, ah this makes these amazing things that help the world and will be used greatly, lets invest in it. No..never happend. Not even once. New shiny thing come, VC load up, market makers start ripping the price, people ape in and then VC dump. That was/is use case of crypto in most cases. Now...saying that...there are some L1 that are indeed doing some truly amazing things and solving some problems or adding new services and apps on the market. There will be a time when investors come and start scooping those up, but that time is still not here..... It's close tho.

DMTbeingC137

There's already a coin related to this. It's called DELIVER and it's on Radix DLT.

I would argue that the whole NFT phase is very similar to meme coin degen traders. They both have institutional value. However, Solana is more suited for scalability, hence lower fees and tps. Growing pains are normal. Remember the DAO hack on Ethereum, where they had to fork the network? Ethereum is the oldest and most well known, yes. But that doesn't mean it's the best. Look at Hedera Hashgraph and DLT technology. I would love the see Ethereum do well, as Buterik is Canadian!! But we will see.

Bitcoin is one implementation of DLT which offers what is essentially a slow database with limited throughput. Not only can BTC be censored (because the tokens aren’t actually fungible given their complete public track record), but even *discussion about BTC* is heavily censored (bitcointalk.org and r/Bitcoin since 2014).

SeemedGood

Bitcoin is a service provider, DLT secured by cryptography is a protocol. If a currency isn’t private, it’s censorable, which means it’s not secure. LN node efficiency scales at least directly (and probably exponentially) with size making LN a significant force for centralization, censorship, and potential inflation - basically a replication current fiat system on top of BTC. The BTC community and the small group that controls the code have no interest in making BTC private, so I won’t hold my breath. Optimal money allows for price stability which means that the supply of money should be able to expand and contract in direct proportion to the goods & services production in an economy. When a money is artificially deflationary it creates a hurdle to investment which produces a drag on economic growth. Artificial deflation is just as bad for an economy as artificial inflation, just in a different way.

Aconyminomicon

Lol help yourself to a book about DLT.

Aconyminomicon

I am fairly certain that 95% of the post there now are by bots/people who couldnt even tell you the acronym for DLT. Much less how a blockchain actually works. They are hyping up tech that is 15 years old and only does one thing, move money from poor people to rich people. And has opened the flood gates to multiple scams that make Madoff look like a child. Blockchain was a cool novelty in the day but now BTC is all up in Wall Street, the opposite effect that it was created for, and people who hold it just don't want to accept it. Shoots I even hold a little just in case, but I know I sold all I wanted to when it broke 100k because how on earth can it just keep going up. It will be interesting to see how BTC is used if we go into a full on recession/bear market.

tldr; Thailand plans to amend its cybercrime laws to protect crypto traders from scams. The amendments will increase accountability for financial institutions and telecom operators, requiring them to prevent and block scams. The changes include provisions for refunding victims without court involvement if damages are proven. The laws are expected to be enacted before the Songkran festival and will complement existing digital asset regulations. Thailand's SEC is also advancing its crypto sector with a DLT-based trading system and stricter enforcement against unlicensed operators. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ISO 20022 Compliance Matters More Than You Think You’re right that most crypto investors don’t care about ISO 20022, but the institutions that move trillions of dollars do. Hedera is working with banks and enterprises looking for legally compliant, scalable DLT solutions. Algorand is already integrated in government-backed financial projects and payment networks. ✅ Regulatory adoption is inevitable, and when it happens, these networks are already positioned for it. 🔹 Unique & Complementary, Not Just “Another Pair” ALGO excels in DeFi, open finance, and inclusive digital economies. HBAR dominates in enterprise solutions, supply chain, and corporate governance. ✅ Their strengths don’t just overlap—they cover different sectors while aligning on security and efficiency. 💡 If every blockchain truly had the same core values and execution, we wouldn’t see so many failing or stagnating. Algorand and Hedera stand out because they’re solving real problems while others are still chasing hype cycles.

CunningStunt_1

I am hesitant to put money behind an L1. There are 100s public and likely a similar number of private chains/DLT's. It's looking more likely there will be 1000s of chains each specialised to a singular purpose. I may make money in the short-term, but likely go to zero over 10 years.

CatrickSwayze

Oh, I agree it was inevitable. It was too powerful not to be. I'm just venting my frustrations, which have been increasing with each passing year. I long for the days when governments/financial institutions were more focused on the promise of DLT and didn't even want to discuss the crypto side. Those cheering on Trump's pumps and dumps and Melania coin irk the shit out of me. The whales were here from the beginning- but at least there was a route for the **common** man to build generational wealth if they got on board early to support this mission, to be willing to jump through the hoops, to champion these values of decentralization. That hope has now become weaponized to drain us dry. We gave the PayPal mafia the magic bullet to seize the world on a silver platter while pretending that its going to level the playing field, that its still "ours".

CunningStunt_1

Firstly, you need to understand the scale of users chainlink already has. https://www.chainlinkecosystem.com/ More projects than multiple L1's. You need to understand why decentralising data input to blockchains is important. Why blockchains/DLT are useless without. Look at the multiple products chainlink offers. Then try and understand why so many absolutely massive financial infrastructure companies (swift, DTCC, eurostream/clear, Hong kong monetary authority) are working with chainlink. Once you have a grasp on that, I'll explain why CCIP is so important. And if I am correct (I'll be filthy rich), why it has abstracted L1's to being nodes only.

Avocadomesh

Who would pay their profits? Exactly small investors. The point of BTC was to stay away from governments, now they are getting it more and more in their hands. Btc is not secure against quantum computing BTC Maxi's are too delusional to even discuss with. All they want is profits for their own. They don't understand jack shit about DLT's.

Wuncemoor

You're jumping to conclusions. "If all countries" is doing some seriously heavy lifting and is the exact point I'm making. Currency never exists in a vacuum, it's just a medium for exchanging value. If that happens then great 👍 but there's no destiny involved based on the code or anything else. It's all human sentiment. To answer your question, I'm here because I believe DLT is a transformative tool to build a better world, not because I have a specific attachment to BTC.

ThinNeighborhood2276

Well said. DLT's transparency and immutability will eventually expose and eliminate many forms of financial manipulation. The long-term potential is immense.

**Thank you.** I'm a bit surprised how many don't know what *DLT* stands for. I didn't want to make the post about a specific coin, but about block chain and Cryptocurrency in general.

DLT is the more generic and proper term for blockchains. All blockchains are a subcategory of DLTs DJT is the reason the markets are down again.

**DLT stands for Distributed Ledger Technologies**, which is the more generic and proper term for blockchains. All blockchains are a subcategory of DLTs DLTs also include DAGs, FBAs, and some BFAs

Absolutely agree. The power of DLT isn't just about quick gains—it’s about reshaping financial transparency and long-term adoption. That said, leverage trading is definitely a double-edged sword. Used wisely, it can be a tool, but most people end up getting liquidated. Curious—how do you personally manage risk in this chaotic market? 🚀

Never assume what? I don't care what you're doing... All that happened was you misrepresented Hedera and I corrected you. No worries! Whatever DLT you design, just make sure you get the COQ proof that it's aBFT, otherwise it's not worth making in the first place! Good luck!

oak1337

>mathematically, spoiler there is know universally 'Best'. There is though. All DLT measure Consensus Overhead. With two hashed timestamps, Hedera gets consensus for free. It's also proven aBFT, shards aBFT, and is SHA384 AES256. Best security, infinite scalability, and is Decentralized. 1. 39 council members, equal share/power, is decentralized governance. That's just a fact. Google is the same one vote as IIT Madras (University). All nodes also have **equal node consensus power**, so when permissionless nodes happen, your node is equal to Google's node. Other networks (ALGO for example) have thousands of nodes, but only a handful do all the work, which are controlled by the central entity. Very cool you can spin up your own node, but it does nothing and doesn't really contribute to consensus. Useless. Hedera will be permissionless in the future, and if that's your biggest beef, I say just give it time, it's coming. >This raises concerns about counterparty risk—could the council manipulate the network or token economics to favor corporate interests over individual users? No, and their incentives are aligned regardless. >2. HBAR’s demand isn’t directly driven by transaction volume False. Yes it is. HBAR is needed to perform transactions on the network. Every txn requires HBAR. More txns = more HBAR demand. >The council’s control over HBAR releases (e.g., only 41.9 billion in circulation as of now) can suppress price volatility, which some see as price manipulation rather than organic growth. This is not how coin releases work. They allocate coins from Treasury into their grant foundations like HBAR Foundation and The Hashgraph Association, who's jobs are to grant HBAR away. "Coin releases" do not just hit the open market. They go to builders, and take years and years to be spent/sold. There's no manipulation there. Yes it's also a store of value if there's adoption on this high throughput network. 3. Hashgraph isn't patented. It was when it was first created, but not anymore. It was open sourced with an Apache 2.0 license and is currently the ONLY chain that has donated it's codebase to the Linux Foundation. It's the most open sourced chain in existence. 4. Win Enterprise, win the game. It's been 15+years since BTC was first invented. Less than 7% of the world has touched crypto. Time to onboard the other 93% of people, and it ain't gonna be by the original crypto ethos. It's gonna be when people use crypto without knowing it by interacting with their favorite brands, who push Web3 apps, etc to them. 5. LOL are you serious? It's the most regulatory compliant chain. Regulations will help HBAR most. HBAR ETF is incoming. Enterprises need regulation to launch. And there are no supply dumps. That's patently false, and I explained before how coin releases work. HBAR will be the Trust Layer of the Internet of Value. It will be the most widely used crypto and will take over the world. Funny, sounds like you're gonna miss the ride on some bad info. Haha good luck 👍

twilotab

From my notes and observations, mathematically, spoiler there is know universally 'Best'. hedera hashgraph is essentially a DAG like IOTA, that's been around far longer, I even invested in it early on, never again, the security was breached and my investment was rugged, I don't want to get into this more, but experience sways me to the security drivers. I will elaborate below for you. 1. Lack of decentralization > Critics argue this sacrifices the ethos of decentralization that defines crypto. The council holds significant control, including influence over HBAR’s supply release (50 billion total, with gradual unlocks). This raises concerns about counterparty risk—could the council manipulate the network or token economics to favor corporate interests over individual users? For purists, this feels more like a "centralized DLT" than a true cryptocurrency. 2. Utility vs Speculation > Unlike bridge assets like XRP or stablecoins, HBAR’s demand isn’t directly driven by transaction volume in the same speculative way. The council’s control over HBAR releases (e.g., only 41.9 billion in circulation as of now) can suppress price volatility, which some see as price manipulation rather than organic growth. Investors wonder: is HBAR a utility token for a niche DLT, or can it compete as a store of value in a crowded crypto market? 3.Competition Abstraction > The patented nature of hashgraph limits its open-source appeal. Developers can’t fork it or build competing platforms, unlike Ethereum, where innovation thrives through community experimentation. Plus, competitors like Solana, Avalanche, and Polkadot offer similar scalability without the corporate overlay. Can HBAR’s tech edge overcome its restrictive ecosystem and win the DLT race? Maybe, but 4. Adoption vs Perception > The crypto community often views HBAR skeptically due to its "corporate coin" vibe. Early price crashes (e.g., from $0.36 to $0.03 in 2019) and accusations of "smoke and mirrors" (per some YouTube critiques) haunt its reputation. Can Hedera shake this stigma and rally retail support, or will it remain an enterprise darling with limited speculative hype? There is a real culture in the crypto space that is still about true decentralization, you have to decide which side you're on, maybe you play both or maybe you go all in as a cypherpunk. 5. Risk > Reward > Volatility, regulatory risks (given its U.S. base), and the council’s token unlocks loom large. Posts on X highlight fears of centralized supply dumps crashing prices. Plus, newer cryptos carry unproven risks—will hashgraph’s edge hold as the market evolves? It boils down to trust. It's a corporate experiment masquerading as crypto. My advice? Watch adoption metrics (transaction volume, dApp growth) and council moves closely. HBAR’s fate hinges on proving its utility outweighs its trade-offs—but in crypto, perception often trumps reality, so tread wisely!

oak1337

Please explain. AFAIK it's mathematically the best possible DLT. Consensus Overhead is free due to Virtual Voting. Tokenomics look great right now. Big adoption inbound with regulations incoming. What's the trap?

Guys, I'll keep it simple. All blockchains/DLTs, at their most basic level, are solving the probem of 'how do a group of computers talk to each other without having to trust any particular computer or group of computers' The Hashgraph algorithm, invented in 2015, is mathmatically the most efficient, fastest, and most secure DLT possible. I'm talking on a physical level - the amount of bytes and the amount of transactions sent between the computers literally cannot be reduced any further. Also, it is the one and only network to have aBFT security at scale (look it up - mathmatically the best security possible for distributed computers). You literally cannot make a better ledger. On top of that, we in the governance model, fixed fees, tons of other enterprise-grade features.... I've been shouting it from the rooftops since HBAR was rank 50. It is now rank 11. If you're not in, I don't know what to tell you.

A representative from SWIFT agreed to be onstage at HederaCon. Why? Rob Allen mentioned the live testing this year, she didn't really confirm or respond to take ownership of that to be honest, it was just a moment. So you can read this in a couple of different ways. 1. Either Rob has info about this which he can't reveal, and is trying to encourage SWIFT and other participants to go public, and have managed to get them \*this\* close to doing so, including appearing at HederaCon onstage with the likes of Rob who represents AP+ (themselves no lightweight in the banking space), which they have agreed to do so in part because they are already a couple of years into testing, working with and from the sound of it selecting Hedera as a contender DLT at least for their operations... Or 2. High level enterprise and banking representatives such as this lady from SWIFT are out there just providing some civic utility function from the goodness of their hearts, and for some reason have agreed to appear at a ETH-rival's inaugural convention, and for some reason are willing to put themselves in a position where Rob can put them on the spit as being adjacent to Hedera in some way, Frankly, I don't buy #2. SWIFT would never put itself in a position that allows misrepresentation. That they don't wish to 100% confirm #1 is another thing. But appearing on stage and allowing themselves to be participant in that type of exposure, in my eyes is confirmation of #1 over #2. Of course, anything can happen, and that is why the ambiguity exists. Even if they go live, they might continue to be ambigious. Investors have to assess risk etc. But if this sort of thing was happening a couple of years ago, people would be running around, losing their shit and aping into HBAR like no one's business. Such is the water temperature around the crypto frog these days. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling\_frog](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog)

The Hedera Hashgraph consensus algorithm is the mathematical endgame of distributed ledger technology. Unlike blockchains, uses compact hashes instead of large raw data in a graph structure (DAG) to achieve efficient, decentralized consensus. Information spreads through the network with virus-like efficiency, making Hedera (HBAR): * **aBFT-secure** (offering the highest level of security) * **Leaderless with no MEV** (preventing transaction manipulation) * **SHA-384 post-quantum resistant** (future-proof cryptographic security) * **Provable fair ordering** (eliminating miner/validator manipulation) * **Infinitely scalable** without L2s or forks (100,000+ TPS per shard) * **Sub-3-second finality** (near-instant transactions) * **Carbon-negative** (the greenest DLT) * **Low, fixed fees pegged to USD** (\~$0.0001 per transaction) * **Open-source codebase with a vendor-neutral governance model under the Linux Foundation** (Project Hiero) On a technical level, Hedera isn’t just more advanced than other DLTs—it defines the future of decentralized technology and the post-quantum era. For example, it is 3300x more energy-efficient than Ethereum. But, to take Hedera to the next level, we need: * **More aggressive marketing towards retail adoption** * **Community nodes for increased decentralization** Leemon Baird (inventor of Hedera) and Charles Hoskinson have been spending time together recently, proving there’s no need for hate or tribalism. Hedera and Cardano are building the future—together. ❤️

Possibly. If all financial services end up running on Blockchains/DLT's.
