Distributed ledger technologies (DLT) are disrupting and transforming existing markets in multiple industries. However, in our opinion there are five fundamental obstacles to overcome before distributed ledgers can be widely accepted and adopted across every industry and geography. In this paper we will examine these obstacles, and discuss why Hedera hashgraph is ideally suited to be the world’s first mass- adopted public distributed ledger, supporting a vast array of applications.
