HF as the Base Layer Risk and Opportunity for Holochain

I believe most assessments miss the point that HF is native to HH, not Holochain, since Holochain has no native currency. In Bitcoin’s early era, there was debate about altcoins diluting Bitcoin’s value proposition, yet the consensus grew that altcoins can bolster the ecosystem. On Holochain, every crypto could potentially gain market share, unlike Bitcoin, which was designed as a base unit of value among blockchains. HF could become the base unit of value for distributed hosting, with initial access to Holochain features required for hosting all other happs.

As Art said, “If Holo Fuel fails then we will do something else.” In my view, HF would act as a bridge; if it doesn’t succeed, they will build alternatives. That implies both a strategic emphasis on HF and a built-in contingency plan.
