Hey Guys,
So I was speaking with a co-worker on our way back from our work golf league, I don't really know the guy at all but he needed a ride home and lives in my city. On our ride home he was telling me about some of what he's invested in, some crypto I've never heard of with the ticker "HBAR" which uses Hashgraphs which if you don't know what those are I did a quick wiki search here: "Hashgraph is a distributed ledger technology developed by Leemon Baird, the co-founder and CTO of Swirlds, in 2016.[1][2] It is an asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) consensus algorithm.[3] It does not use miners to validate transactions, and uses directed acyclic graphs for time-sequencing transactions without bundling them into blocks.[4]"
Its backed by Google Cloud, and its board consists of leaders from some of the largest companies in the world including: IBM, Deutsche Telekom, Boeing, LG, and so many others.
Running a quick google search on Hbar you'll come to the question promptings and this pops up:
"People also ask
Is HBAR a good investment?
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is considered a terrific long-term investment opportunity and probably one of the few cryptocurrencies that could generate profit in the face of a bear market or adverse economic conditions. Hedera is a good investment because its technology is superior to all other cryptocurrency."
Looking on their website: hedera.com they state: "Hedera is the only public ledger that uses hashgraph consensus, a faster, more secure alternative to blockchain consensus mechanisms. Hashgraph works efficiently to verify transactions while ensuring the highest standard of security to prevent malicious attacks. Hashgraph achieves high-throughput with 10,000+ cryptocurrency transactions per second today and low-latency finality in seconds from its innovative gossip about gossip protocol and virtual voting. Once consensus is reached, it is available on the public ledger for everyone to transparently see."
Has anybody looked into this currency/ heard of it before? It actually seems like a pretty legit token & one that could possibly rise astronomically in the future, maybe?
Its very cheap right now clocking in at 0.27 cents per coin. A few months ago it was less than 1 cent.I am currently contemplating throwing a grand in for shits and giggles, and maybe i'll be laughing all the way to the bank in a few years. who knows!!!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback on this.
