People FOMO buying HBAR will be sore losers, Seed investors will keep dumping as they've gotten their share for $0.001 I believe. HH isn't any special there are way better blockhains that can outpace HH in many ways, The only special about HH is their partnerships.
That's certainly true, mate. If the ICO price was lesser than the current price per coin, then I'm afraid that early investors of hbar will dump the cryptocurrency over time. Not to mention, its total supply is huge with billions of coins in circulation. This would prevent hbar from further rising in price as they lack scarcity within the market (unlike Bitcoin). Because of the way hbar was designed, I'm afraid that it would only be worth cents (USD) instead of dollars across the crypto market. Despite the price issue, Hashgraph makes use of a technology similar to a DAG where it puts scalability in mind.
Of course, there are far better Blockchains out there. However, Hedera could gain traction within the mainstream world as it forms partnerships among recognized businesses and Banks alike. It could greatly rival XRP and even XLM as we know it. With a good amount of marketing/promotion, I don't see why hbar will become a success within the future. As we all know, most cryptocurrencies with inferior technologies than others have succeeded within the mainstream world because of their marketing/promotion techniques. With this, the crypto project could generate a lot of hype among its investors leading it towards new heights.
All in all, hbar would need to prove itself unique among its competitors by delivering breakthrough technologies and features that were never before seen. With IOTA, NANO, Constellation, and even Coti in place (which make use of a DAG) the competition will become extremely fierce for Hedera Hashgraph. Just my opinion
