Title: Hashgraph and how long will blockchain push forward Post by: Futourist on December 27, 2017, 08:56:47 AM Hi everyone.
So this thing called Hashgraph caught my attention recently - it's a completely different and new concept of a distributed ledger. Here are the key points: 1. Compared to blockchain, hashgraph is better in almost every possible way (energy consuption, speed, security). 2. Hashgraph is just a working concept, there are no public ledgers built on top if it yet (no tokens, sorry) 2. It is not a proof-of-work system and it will never be. To learn more about hashgraph I suggest reading and watching the presentation at http://www.hashgraph.com (http://www.hashgraph.com). Here are my questions for you. In case a better ledger comes along, what do you think will happen to blockchain? Is there a blockchain lobby that will try to protect the crypto world (bitcoin millionaires) in some way and try to crush other technologies? Will the blockchain coin & token market crash (and why not) in case Hashgraph developers create a public financial ledger (which probably won't happen for a long time)?

Yes, Hashgraph will be much better, but both will co-exist for a long time, because some applications just don't need the Hashgraph superior technology. Why will CryptoKitties or Decentraland need the Hashgraph? Blockchain works just as fine.
