Only Accredited Investors were allowed to join thank to stupid US regulations. Still it managed to reach a 6 billion USD valuation with virtually no hype: https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2018/08/137036-6-billion-valuation-hedera-hashgraph-raises-100-million-opens-public-crowdsale-to-back-next-gen-super-fast-dlt/

yeah, that is one big issue, but arent there any other projects? competitors like in the crypto world?

There is nothing I could call a real competitor except for DPoS to my knowledge. There are many interesting projects built on top of Hashgraph although nobody seems to be talking about it: https://medium.com/hashgraph/7-industry-disrupting-dapps-building-on-hedera-24716ff08e84

I've recently delegated most of my SP to @dlike simply for he reason that it is paying 1 DLike Token per SP per Day. Even at a 8 million USD valuation that would mean 1 cent per token. The IEO was set at 2.5 cents (I don't think the hardcap was hit) But even a 0.1 cent would mean $1 per 1K SP and I don't think @dlike would stay below a 800,000 USD marketcap while Pinterest IPO was over 10 billion USD.

aha, I will read that article to see whats going on.

Ok, seems like a lot of Steemians are delegating their SP. But are you saying that Dlike is using hashgraph or is that a separate thing?

No. @dlike is going to be a SMT project like @steemhunt and many others. Currently they are using ERC-20 tokens like EOS did before they switched and all these STEEM based ERC-20 tokens will be swapped for for SMT. Many are looking at STEEM-Engine if SMT doesn't get delivered in a reasonable time. Check out @aggroed and @steem-eng for more information. It's one of the most underrated and under the radar projects out there. STEEM-Engine isn't the biggest deal out there and I doubt it would eve be. But it's better to keep your eyes on the potential for growth than simple market dominance.
