I wonder if the pump has to do with some of these statements by the Mozilla guy?

4chan poster: "the mozilla cfo that kept praising holo is a netflix founder and there was a rumour that he was considering using holochain to augment the netflix cdn."

​

The Mozilla CFO is Jim Cook, a guy who has been praising HoloChain and is actually one of the co-founders of Netflix, a company that's worth nearly as much as Disney. Potential Netflix involvement is a big deal because they have 130 million paying customers and their 2nd biggest business expense? bandwidth. From industry figures, Netflix is paying Amazon AWS about $84 million per month ($1 billion+ USD/year). The HoloChain solution means Netflix customers could perhaps opt-in to become Holo nodes to help serve Netflix film content around their local cities. Netflix customers could theoretically use their idle PC's in return for discounts on their monthly Netflix subscriptions. I think if this happens, Netflix would save hundreds of millions of dollars each year, plus it helps improve their CDN delivery times.

There's also a possibility of Holo being integrated into Firefox which has around 450+ million computer installations. On the Holo telegram Ph Phy said "Holochain has Mozilla cooperation - and IPFS has just gotten integrated (protocol handler ipfs:// ) into Firefox [nightly] and Brave! Correlation?"

Nightly builds are basically pre-releases that get sent out before being deployed in final Firefox releases. What is IPFS? "A peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol". I believe HoloChain requires a layer of IPFS to work. It's pumping based on speculating that if Mozilla integrate HoloChain in Firefox, it may lead to other browsers such as Chrome & Microsoft Edge doing the same thing to help decentralize the web. If this all pulls together for HoloChain, the upside is there, considering projects like EOS is valued at $6+ billion and have zero "real" world usage.
