Maybe an unpopular opinion: a cryptocurrency that solves the trilemma doesn't need to convince everyone it solved it (right away or at all). The true properties it has achieved will showcase themselves in time, through challenges and dynamics as the economy evolves over it.
You still dont get it do you.
All of those were first examples of something.
How many are still around today? And how many were replaced by something with better capability, utility, tech and convenience?
I'll tell you. All were replaced. The message stayed the same though.
Communication = Nokia -> iPhone
Entertainment = Blockbuster -> Netflix
Pocket computer = Blackberry -> iPhone (again)
Notice how some converge? Now let's do crypto.
Smart contracts = Ethereum -> Kaspa
Speed = Solana -> Kaspa
Digital P2P cash = Bitcoin -> Kaspa
Notice a pattern?
Going to setup a Kaspa node this weekend. I have a small computer going to set it and forget it. $KAS
If I ever get around to building any Kaspa service I’ll probably get a virtual machine setup on Azure and run a node on that.
Also does anyone know if there’s a way for
Me to identify all the public nodes and some info on interacting with them using gRPC.
Kaspa is now number 1 in bullish sentiment.
Despite recent price volatility, market sentiment around KAS has strengthened rather than weakened. More traders and holders are positioning with a positive outlook, reflecting growing confidence in the network and its long-term trajectory.
I’ve never felt a stronger dissonance between how Kaspa R&D is thriving and how (part of) the community seems to be feeling -- at least on some of my radars, though completely not on others :)
TL;DR: Talent and expertise are compounding in R&D, and real work is being done. More concrete updates soon.
What I see as the strongest indication of long-term growth is that Kaspa R&D circles are expanding by the day. You can feel it not just growing in size but maturing in spirit as well. More and more contributors, full of passion and a desire to understand, explore, and contribute to the core technology, keep popping up. More vibe-coders opening PRs, more ppl writing KIPs. Parallel research/dev efforts are converging into a single coherent vision. Timelines are clearing up, OG contributors are regathering, and coders-of-stuff are talking about DK’s cascade voting algorithm in their sleep (I have no proof for that, but it can’t be wrong).
At the same time, deep core narratives that will lead to near-term products are being polished and understood as we speak. These will be delivered. Kaspa’s main superiority point is taking shape in front of our eyes: fast PoW provides true real-time decentralization (RTD), probably for the first time ever.
I know I’ve always been optimistic, but right now the dissonance is especially interesting to follow. Bitcoin has “died” many times, ETH went through its own “is it over?” phases, and Solana definitely felt dead post-SBF -- ppl understandably correlate weak price action with long-term prosperity, even when fundamentals are quietly compounding. Part of my challenge is figuring out how to share that vantage point so more of the community can feel what I’m seeing from up close. I genuinely believe that big things don’t happen in the world without low periods that prove your resilience to yourself and to everyone watching.
JUST IN: Following https://t.co/Zi6rJvfJVZ’s shutdown announcement, Kaspa founder @hashdag says he’s ready to fund active, loved Kaspa projects - inviting teams to DM him directly for support. 👏👏👏
I truly don’t see how if all these @KaspaKii /DII connected companies start using $KAS to trade energy (not to mention countless other industries not even tapped into yet which include thousands of individual companies) how the security budget would ever be an issue…like ever.
Is this cope? I’m not sure
#byenance is trending today as frustration toward Binance grows inside the Kaspa community.
A major point of tension: Binance completely ignored Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky, the creator of Kaspa’s underlying consensus protocol after he won their own “Independent Researcher” award.
Despite the community vote confirming him as the winner, Binance never mentioned his name on stage, never acknowledged his win, and instead handed the award to the runner-up as if the actual winner didn’t exist.
No clarification. No explanation. No response to his public message that gained millions of views.
For many Kaspa users, this was the moment trust broke.
Combined with concerns over fairness and transparency, users are now openly stating they are closing accounts and leaving the exchange, fueling the rise of #Byenance .
