I called out HBAR in September of 2022 here.
Some guy got angry, calling me a coin shiller promoting some shitcoin. I looked for the post in my history but his rants were deleted.

Now Hedera is the best performing altcoin with 700% gains in a month.
No blockchain can compete with it in terms of security and speed. I believe that HBAR is the future of AI and the internet. It is already governed by the largest institutions on earth.

Surely adoption matters. But Ethereum owes it to crooked Gary Gensler who turned a blind eye to Ethereum because Blackrock is invested in it, while he cracked down on Ripple and other projects. Gensler is out now and the floodgates are open.

My largest altcoin positions have always been XRP and HBAR since september of 2022, and it looks like it is paying off.
I believe that these 2 will perform very well in the near future. And SUI will outcompete Solana.

if you are not sure, just don't invest in it, I personally also find coin like HBAR only pumps when there's bullrun.
I doubt they will perform as well in the market that's not overly bullish, people right now are in the stage of euphoria, they want to throw their money into whatever coin that's still valued below the big three, HBAR included.
moreover the price of HBAR already going up so high anyway, I mean it could always retouch all time high again, but i would prefer to invest into the biggest coin instead for long term and venture into other coin that aren't as big in term of FDV just to multiply profit but with little share of my portfolio.

personally, I don't invest in HBAR, doesn't mean the coin can't go up though, the potential to reach 0.4 is always there.

I’ve been looking at Hedera (HBAR), and honestly, I’m not sold yet. They’ve got this Hashgraph consensus that claims to beat traditional blockchains in terms of speed, security, and energy efficiency. But does that really matter if nobody’s using it?

Take Ethereum, it’s slower, more expensive, but still dominates the DeFi and RWA space. Solana, despite its ups and downs, is fast, cheap, and has built a solid ecosystem. Hedera’s trying to make a name for itself with tools like the Asset Tokenization Studio and Stablecoin Studio, but aren’t we seeing similar stuff from Polkadot and Avalanche already?

HBAR’s tokenomics are there, but if Cardano taught us anything, it’s that you can have all the tech in the world and still fail to get the market’s attention. So, here’s the real question: Is Hedera just tech that’s too early to the party, or are we overestimating the need for something “better” than Ethereum or Solana?

Tbh am sincere curious, because the chances of Hashgraph having a shot seems slim, or prolly it’s just another layer 1 blockchain trying to break through in a market that’s already got its heavyweights

Not sure how you are not sold yet , it’s up 700% in the last 4 weeks but is still only a £9.5B market cap - it could easily end this bull run at a £50-100B market cap.


Fair point on the price action, it’s definitely been on a tear lately. But price alone doesn’t tell the full story. A £9.5B market cap is impressive, but does it reflect actual adoption or just speculative hype? For Hedera to hit £50-100B, it needs more than tech and price momentum. it needs sticky use cases and a thriving ecosystem. Without that, it risks being another pump-driven rally that fizzles out.

Dogecoin is currently £48B market cap so if a meme like that can reach that high then Hbar can can definitely hit £50B - £100B.

Lets see what happens, I didn’t expect Hbar to pump this quickly I took some profit @ £0.26 and will next take some @ £0.40 but could be a while now till we see that as it looks like it’s cooling down.

I get where you're coming from. Hedera’s tech is solid—Hashgraph is faster, more secure, and more energy-efficient than Ethereum. But, like you said, it’s all about adoption. Ethereum and Solana already have established ecosystems, and that’s hard to compete with. Hedera has some cool tools, but so do projects like Polkadot and Avalanche. If it can’t build a solid user base, even the best tech won’t matter. It feels like a classic case of being “too early” unless they can really prove their value.
Thanks buddy ;Tech alone doesn’t win, adoption does. Ethereum and Solana already dominate ecosystems, and even Polkadot and Avalanche struggle despite their innovations. Hedera needs to prove its value fast, or it risks staying in the ‘too early’ zone

You just put effort, faith, and analysis into it and see how it goes  Grin Risks would be always there.
OP, if you have these done and ready - you are good to go and try. NFA.

You're right. I just looked $HBAR's market cap now and it's at $12.48B that's an extra $3B from when you made this comment. And it's maintaining a good price trend.



This doesn't look like a mere hype to me just in case OP thinks otherwise.
