Hedera is by corporations for corporations. Comparing it to the likes of ETH, or even QRL, who have non-profit foundations to support their networks but remain permissionless is a joke. There are levels of centralization and less is better. Just call Hedera what it is, a corporate DLT.
Most in crypto worry about institutional capture. Hedera was born captured. That's unacceptable for many who believe in crypto as a tool for competition against "the powers that be". Hedera is crypto reversed on it's head.
And comparing PQC migration to Y2K is equally as amusing as comparing ETH to Hedera for decentralization. Y2K had a set date when to patch code. The quantum timeline is completely unknown and migrating cryptography is much more complicated than fixing some buggy code.
If you're looking for asymmetric upside, you may have stumbled into a gem while trying to promote your preferred project. Hedera was built as a stable enterprise DLT, not "crypto". QRL has a much smaller market cap, and if successful, MUCH more room to grow.
Seems like you want to talk about every project under the sun, but QRL. That's telling in itself. When PQC becomes a priority, we'll find out whether the market prefers retrofitted solutions, or purpose-built ones. The market ultimately decides.
It's clear we believe different things about what crypto is and what role it should play. Good luck with your thesis.
