To add to that, Algorand has the ability to prevent double spending, and is decentralized proof of stake.

Algorand is interesting. It’s the first decentralized proof-of-stake blockchain. It’s also created by Turing award winner, Silvio Macali.

I had been looking recently for a way to invest in companies doing interesting things with the blockchain. I came across the ETF called BLOK. It’s largest holding is with Microstrategy .... because they hold a lot of Bitcoin. It’s really unfortunate to see something like that. They aren’t doing anything with the blockchain (that I know of), yet are the largest holding in a blockchain ETF because they have a bunch of Bitcoin. Hopefully we don’t start seeing more and more companies hodling in hopes of making their balance sheets look better.
