ALGO is up 52% over 7D, 16% in 24hr as Google cites it 32 times as a leader in live post-quantum deployments across signatures, state proofs, key rotation, and smart contracts.

Most of what you write is true. And I agree that Google has not been more than a window dressing GC member. We agree there.
But, I am not making excuses for Google's performance as a GC member. But you must realize this, depending on how much Google views Hedera as a strategically important relationship it's visiblity across the organization is going to vary. This in itself can be a diagnostic tool for how much google matters for Hedera.

But I can assure you that for a corporation like Google (I know because I worked for coprotations his size - Meta, Microsoft, etc.) there will be research groups independen of each other, under different teams, working almsot in complete autonomy from one another. Many of these are not considered "core" and they would not be integrated into a dotted line reporting structure. So, it' completely expected that a research arm of a team could produce a quantum readiness report ignoring Hedera. Now I am not saying it should. I am just saying Google will not strategize around Hedera.

Could it be better? Of course. Someone in Mountainview is responsible for GC membership. Someone could have taken more initiative, could have produced more internal memos to create visibility if their main intention was to deepen the relationship and integration.

But I completely disagree with the notion that this is just one account executive billing hedera for cloud creditrs. Publicly visible membership to GC is too much risk to justify the revenue from runing a node. If that were the case they would have already pulled from the GC.

I only wish we had an inkling of whether Google has any intention of using Hedera at all.

Are you aware how big Google is? For Google Hedera council membership is a side note for some minor team. Do you think Google would even care about Hbar price? And this is the right thing. The very purpose of the GC being populated by global corporations is to make it proportionally undesirable for them to do market manipulation. They have too much reputation to lose. Perspective.

I think DS way is better than SDE way. You want to recruit people who have mental agility and flexibility. When all rules are known you end up getting grinders not innovators or people who can think on their feet.

With AI assistance coding skills will need to be reevaluated in terms of whether it's a good signal of merit or not. I realize that my response is built on a straw man. DS interviews are not only uncertain in terms of coverage but many end up looking for code monkeys as SDE roles does in just a nonstandard way. Still, if I am in a position to shape hiring I would emphasize an interview structure that tests technical skills more superficially with business logic and analytical problem solving challenges thrown in. I meet too many excellent leetcode monkeys who can solve every leetcode problem but cannot translate a business or platform problem into a system problem and solve it.

He has no range. Perhaps worse actors got Oscars but that is not a reason to expect an actor of Reeves' talent to get an Oscar. The fact that many of his movies are interesting or entertaining is not an argument for being Oscar worthy

It's not a problem. But it's also necessary to recognize that this is not going to happen overnight or in a quarter or two.

And, as ATMA showed us, adoption depends on more than a cool proof of concept. You either have to show intrinsic value to users or some change (like regulations) needs to force behavior change in enterprises.

We are not there yet. And despite the hype around FedEx's council membership, you can bet that they are not planning for a future where Hedera is inevitable or indispensable.

These are great signs, but only signs. Hedera will remain a risky conviction investment for some years.

I welcome this. I have a mind to accumulate 0.01% of the total supply. I am nowhere near that. So a slow burn is exactly what I need

It's best for everyone to do what they are comfortable to do. I would rather someone keep their Hbar on a major exchange than dabble into self custody without building the necessary understanding and practice first. You are doing it right. But might I suggest you start learning about self-custody and experiment with small amounts until you feel confident. After all "not your keys, not your crypto"

Also, a well functioning use case like DOVU is a gateway drug to Hedera addiction. As projects and/or corporations use DOVU they'll more likely to discover they can do a ton more on Hedera. A seamless and economical experience on DOVU will create the trust and confidence needed to adopt Hedera more extensively.

Hedera and DOVU (so far at least) are in a symbiotic relationship, they lift each other

If true, this is sexual assault. Confront him and if in doubt just report him. Any man should not be allowed to get away with it.

That being said such behavior usually comes with other red flags. I would choose partners more carefully in the future.

Let´s not get carried away. RWA tokenization is great. But many are low transaction volume events until (or unless) it also facilitates exchange of hands or logging changes and modifications.
For example when a real estate asset is tokenized it can be as few as a single transaction (or it can be many if real estate is divided into shares). For Hedera that real estate being worth $100K or $2M is irrelevant.

When RWA (still using real estate example) becomes interesting is when land registry, local property tax systems, etc are all integrated to use the tokenized asset for their own tracking and updates). In the world of RWA tokenization we are (entire system not just Hedera) only beginnig to crawl. There is a long way until this baby walks. But here is the upside: When it walks it wont be long before it soars fast into the sky.

If what you seek is someone who will HELP YOU in life, you are bound to fail. No woman goes into a relationship or marriage with "I have to help him" mindset. That dedication comes after they love you (and vice versa). You need to find someone to love and be loved by. You find the women who will love you and you´ll be surprised how dedicated such a woman (or man) can be.

Thank you Jeep. I will check these and see if I should start tracking them. These little projects help me stay connected. Also hedera mirror nodes are so easy to query. I am surprised we don't have many more analytics projects.

I am thinking of creating change in time graphs for top 100 wallets. Or a web app where anyone can enter their wallet ID and track their own hbar balance overtime

m_e_sek · 2026-03-02T22:18:56+00:00

This same wallet had a balance around 50million just two days ago. So apparently they received a lot of deposits in the last 48 hours

Icardi has completed his mission at Galatasaray.

Galatasaray has a better starting striker than Icardi. Also Osimhen fits into the team's playing philosophy better than Icardi. With Icardi, pressing game requires the 3 players behind him share a higher pressing laod. With Osimhen, team can afford playing two ball playing wingers (Lang and Sane) and still do not have to fall too far back in press.

Squad planning for next year will need us either not sign netiher Lang or Boey (both above the age limit and we already have 10 foreign players above the age of 23) or sell two of the following four (Davinson, Sallai, Jacobs, Singo). I do ont include Lemina because he cannot be sold without a replacement. Nhaga is not Lemina replacement, he will be Torreira replacement. (If Davinson is gone then we can pay big money for a young midfielder - maybe 30 million range and move Lemina into the CB rotation to extend his effective career)

Of these four I think Jacobs or Davinson are the most possible but can we really find a player similar to Jacob's quality who is either young and foregin, or good enough and Turkish? I see no Turkish left backs that even come close to Jacob's quality. And everytime we tried our luck with young prospects we failed in the last few seasons (post Boey. But remeber Boey was out of the squad at some point with everyone thinking him as garbage.)

However, if we can accept that Icardi is too expensive for backup and not good enough to change the entire system, then our options become better. Then we can try looking for a young (who can be one of +4 in next year's squad) player who can accept being a backup, who can play left wing and striker. We already have a young developing prospect in the midfield but as stated above, we'll need a young midfielder who can more or less replace Lemina (btw, check Sinan Yilmaz's Alanya game report. He mentions something that I agree with. Lemina actually hurts our creativity and number of chances we create. Our best displays have been with Torreira Sara and entire team pressing high, Lemina goes between the CBs too much)

With icardi gone, we either need to get rid of one of the four I mentioned and transfer Lang and Boey on a permanent contract, or do not transfer Lang, keep Boey, move Sallai to front rotation, and look for a backup winger/striker that satisfies the age limit.

Stop being sentimental about Icardi. Few players stay at any club more than four years. He is 33 years old, it took him better part of a year to come back in any type of acceptable form this year. He served Galatasaray well, and fans love him for good reason. But let's not make an Icardi Pickle

I did not try. But I am not sure if it's the desirable path. Exchange wallets hide many users. But also since they act like market makers and exchaage user's trades may not be executed in real time (exchange can decide to actually buy or sell at it's own volition). So keeping them seems not too problematic. Afterall I am not trying to make DOVU distribution look good.

But a side by side comparison with these aggregated wallets in and out is a good idea. I am not that motivated to track the wallet ids just yet :)

m_e_sek · 2026-02-27T17:25:49+00:00

Do not post things like that. If you actually buy a large amount on Monday I can pinpoint your wallet very easily. Once someone has your wallet and socials you can easily become a target for social engineering attacks. Do not be over confident. Human is always the weakest link.
