I know, I know. Very last post. The title of my video, “Now is not the time to be buying altcoins”. And I do stand by that statement for the most part. Because for the most part many of the larger cap alts (which is mainly what I trade in a bear market) do employ a variant of the PoS mechanism. And this is really what the SEC has been targeting at the moment, minus Ethereum for some unknown reason. Hedera is not a traditional blockchain and does not use either PoW or PoS. Hedera Hashgraph is a distributed ledger technology that aims to provide a secure, fast, and fair platform for decentralized applications. To accomplish this, Hedera Hashgraph employs a consensus algorithm called "hashgraph." This algorithm enables high transaction throughput by leveraging a directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure, where each transaction is represented as an event. These events are then asynchronously gossiped among network nodes, forming a shared history of all transactions. By utilizing a gossip protocol and virtual voting, hashgraph achieves consensus on the order and validity of transactions. Moreover, Hedera Hashgraph incorporates a governance model to ensure decentralization and fair decision-making. The technology offers potential benefits for applications requiring speed, security, and scalability, such as decentralized finance, supply chain management, and social networks.
Now, that I have touched a bit on the fundamentals in hopes of helping to justify my trade :-) let’s quickly look at the technicals.
Hedera has reached the end of a bullish descending wedge which also runs into some very solid support at .044. Should this break then, yes, we’ll probably drop down to that next level at .036. But odds are in our favor here that we go up instead. I’ll be shooting for that 200 day ma which, right now, sits at .058. My stop out will be right around .0415.
Let’s go!
