Fred Wilson said it was the end of a 2 year crypto winter [1] and I tend to agree. With JPMorgan merging Quorum and ConsenSys, and Google announcing support for Hashgraph [2], I'm optimistic about the widespread adoption of distributed, decentralized ledger consensus technologies.

- anongraddebt 7y agoNot sure what to make of Wilson's post, but I can say that the Hedera news is much ado about nothing. Hedera raised $100M from investors in 2018. They are now down to $30M in the bank and the market value of their HBAR token continues its push towards zero. Google has agreed to be a member of the Hedera council, that is true. However, all that this amounts to is: "...Google Cloud will operate a Hedera network node, and make the ledger data available for analytics alongside GCP's other public DLT datasets..." So, GCP spun up a single server and will also now allow you to compare data between the Hedera network and 8 other blockchain networks (I went and counted the ones that GCP said they provide datasets for). If I was a high schooler, then it might be kind of neat that I spun up a server and hosted datasets for 9 different networks. Seems a bit different if I do that while being the world's 3rd largest player in the cloud-computing market.
