@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Happy 8 years, here's to many more! 🥂

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird I’ve waited for 6 years and still waiting for a return on my investment, maybe CLPR 🙏 will be the catalyst.

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Happy birthday Hedera

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Fixed it

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Let's go Hedera

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Still cooking 🔥

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird 🍻 $HBAR

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird 8 is the magic number 👻🤍

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Hey look its the guys that are helping the scammers from @Casper_Network that are actually the FBI. They all likely work for the same people the #Epstein people work for. Look I will show you. They are all a bunch of ex feds / feds that refuse to investigate each other.

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird But the price says otherwise

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Mainet needs more retail and enterprise action.

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Great

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird 8 years of disappointment

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird The grift brothers......

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird HBD Hedera! Hello Future.

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird 8 years and u still nothing 🤣

Congrats!! here's to the next 92 years!! On that mission. Here are four high-impact suggestions on how Team Hedera could strengthen both HBAR’s demand drivers and the network’s overall value proposition... These draw from Hedera’s fixed 50 billion HBAR supply, fee model (USD-denominated fees paid in HBAR), staking mechanics, enterprise Governing Council, performance advantages (high throughput, fast finality, low predictable costs, carbon-negative), and current momentum in RWA tokenization, bank integrations, and institutional products as of mid-2026: > Scale real-world asset (RWA) and stablecoin tokenization from pilots to high-volume production Hedera already supports notable pilots and live use cases (tokenized money-market funds, real estate, bonds, FX collateral involving entities like Archax, Lloyds, and others). Converting these into sustained, high-throughput settlement and transfer activity would increase direct HBAR demand because every network operation (HTS token actions, consensus messages, smart contracts) requires HBAR fees. This also reinforces the core value prop as the high-performance, compliant “trust layer” for institutional tokenized finance—differentiating it from more retail- or DeFi-focused L1s. > Expand institutional infrastructure and bank-grade access layers Recent integrations (e.g., full-stack support via Taurus for custody, staking, native token issuance, and EVM smart contracts available to 40+ banks and institutions including major names) lower the barrier for regulated entities. Broadening similar custody, node, and tokenization tooling with more custodians, payment networks, and financial platforms would drive sticky, recurring volume. This elevates the value proposition from “enterprise-friendly public network” to the practical default settlement and issuance rail for banks and asset managers, increasing both usage and perceived institutional credibility. > Drive measurable fee revenue growth tied to transparent treasury and staking dynamics With a hard-capped supply and no ongoing inflation, higher genuine economic activity (fees flowing to nodes, treasury, and stakers) creates clearer utility-based demand for HBAR while supporting staking rewards (currently modest APY levels). Transparent reporting of fee generation, staking participation, and any disciplined treasury releases or management would strengthen the narrative that network success accrues to the token. This addresses a common critique of large-supply utility tokens by making the economic loop more visible and compelling. > Leverage Governing Council strength, regulatory positioning, and specialized verticals (ESG/AI/carbon) The council model (major enterprises with rotating terms) plus commodity classification signals and ESG credentials (carbon-negative) already support products like the Canary HBAR spot ETF and appeal to institutions. Expanding council influence, pursuing further index/ETF inclusion, and scaling proven verticals—such as digital product passports/supply-chain traceability, carbon/dMRV markets via tools like Guardian, and AI-agent or data-provenance use cases—would deepen the “enterprise-grade, regulated, sustainable public network” positioning. This attracts longer-term capital and application volume that pure performance metrics alone may not. These levers reinforce one another: more institutional production usage generates fees and demand, which supports the token’s utility story and the network’s credibility as infrastructure for the digital economy. Progress is best tracked via on-chain transaction/fee metrics, disclosed RWA/settlement volumes, institutional partnership outcomes, and official treasury reports rather than short-term price action alone. PS. POST GC MEETING MINUTES, in a timely manner! Transparency+trust+reputation= vital to success.

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Happy Birthday @hedera 🎉

@ManceHarmon @leemonbaird Looooove it! Geniuses! 👍🥰
