1: Efficiency: A single hedera transaction costs an order of magnitude less energy than a visa transaction, to say nothing of how much more energy efficient it is than bitcoin.

2: Utility: Corporations have usecases that have nothing to do with crypto running on it. The new coupons standard has started to be rolled out on it - Proctor and Gamble are have some product lines where the coupons run on it in an Atlanta regional chain called Food Depot. There's also product tracking with Atma.io which has been consistently pushing over 500 transactions per second for months.

3: Speed: Transactions reach finality in about 5 seconds, currently. Once imputed, transactions can't be rolled back, double spent, and the network can't be forked.

4: Decentralization Scheme: Currently all of the nodes are held by council members - including Dell, IBM, Google, LG, Avery Dennison, Ubisoft - but part of the decentralization plan will be to allow permissionless nodes to be created and ran by anyone.

5: Prophetic visions of a hellish future: In my dreams I can see it, every breath logged into the hashgraph, every step taken, every twitch of the eye, every thought - each one timestamped and processed through the directed acyclic graph. Ultimate tracking and control of populations, the cattle of the world treated with the kind of contempt only reserved for the dullest of farm animals. You will be the product, your very essence turned into fuel, so that the basilisk at the end of time can have a perfect replica of you to play with and torture at its leisure.

6: Stable, Low cost of transactions: The vast majority of transactions will be crypto transfers, consensus messages, or token services. Each of these cost less than a sent and are denominated in USD, so you will never have to worry about large fees. This allows businesses to be able to predictably price out how much they'll need to spend on this service.

Hope that helps!
