Unpopular opinion:

There is No tangible use case to drive up the price of $HBAR.

Read to learn more:

X. Hedera is a centrally governed, public decentralised hashgraph network

X. It is mainly used for corporate applications

X. Governed by Google, IBM, r.g. can agree to set transaction fees etc

X. HBAR is a token on Hedera that is consumed as fees for various transactions and uses.

X. 50BN tokens issued

X. Fee for token xfer is $0.001, tokens and smart contract creation $X

X. Council set the fee in USD,a file is uploaded to Hedera every XX mins to set USD price and hence HBAR consumed

X. It would take 17T transactions to consume 10BN tokens. 

X. The council will likely reduce burn rate as price of HBAR increases.

XX. The token itself is not used in any way, e.g. as bridge or transport token.  Just used for fees

As such, my analysis of HBAR token is that while we may see some speculative or indirect price pumps, the business model has no reason for it to increase in price.

For me, it's a big NO.

Not Financial Advice. And if you strongly believe it will, by all means go for it, but my analysis based on the tech is as per above.

For what it's worth;

X. XRP solves cross border issue of having too many curren y pairs plus liquidity

X. XLM solves remittance and low value transactions 

X. DOGE is the last of the POW protocols (IMO better than BTC)

X. ETH is a "early mover advantage" blockchain offering multiple users with a wide variety of blockchain capability. 

Hope this helps
