Holochain is different to Blockchain in that it uses a completely different method of transaction verification and has the ability to scale almost infinitely. The method is being referred to as 'Agent Centric' rather than Blockchains 'Data Centric' method. Here is the whitepaper.

"Holochain enables a distributed web with user autonomy built directly into its architecture and protocols. Data is about remembering our lived and shared experiences. Distributing the storage and processing of that data can change how we coordinate and interact." - https://medium.com/holochain

Recently china voted its favourite crypto to be EOS (http://special.ccidnet.com/pub-bc-eval/index.shtml) and with good reason considering EOS is touting some extremely high transaction speeds (50,000 tps) but it looks as if we have a new contender on the field and its going to take the world of crypto by the horns. Scalability and Transactions per Second (TPS) are the main reasons Bitcoin won't be the winner in this race.
