Bitcoin was an experimental chain. Many of its early flaws were discovered and fixed through trial and error as the network evolved. Considering it was the first blockchain ever created, that's understandable.
That's why comparing a 2010 Bitcoin bug to outages, consensus issues, or other failures on modern chains like @solana and @SuiNetwork in 2026 isn't really a fair comparison.
If you want to minimize design mistakes from day one, it helps to spend years doing the research before launching. Some modern architectures benefited from more than 8 years of academic work before their first block was ever produced.
Congrats on the "BlockDAG breakthrough."
It's always inspiring to see people rediscover concepts that Aviv Zohar and Yonatan Sompolinsky were publishing over a decade ago—and that Vitalik himself was citing back in 2014.
Some innovations take years. Others just take a good rebrand. 😄
Moving fast is not a valid excuse for the outages. They are unacceptable, period. You have my sincerest apologies for the outages.
We are focused on restoring the level of reliability and security to the absolute maximum.
@EvanWeb3 Hey buddy, don’t be so hard on yourself. You did your best.
After all, you’re not @hashdag, @michaelsuttonil, or @hus_qy. Not everyone can build high-throughput distributed systems without stopping the network every now and then.
"yet I rather invest into a chain that redefines tech than a chain that is not changing anything to 'keep it safe'"
You're absolutely right about that.
If you're looking for a chain that's pushing the boundaries without sacrificing decentralization, take a look at #Kaspa.
• PoW security
• Decentralized
• Scalable
• The fastest proof-of-work chain
And unlike many projects that rush features to mainnet, Kaspa's programmability upgrade is still being tested on testnet before deployment.
@SuiNetwork@Seb28_7@michaelsuttonil@hashdag could you help?
We're curious about the recovery process when a "high-performance" network gets congested and activity comes to a halt. As Kaspa users, we're not really used to seeing that.
Every single project in the $SUI Ecosystem went dark.
Because Sui Mainnet stalled.
More projects in an ecosystem is fine but that leads to more more collateral damage when the chain goes down.
These projects are suffering 👇
🔵 Liquid Staking & Stablecoins
• Haedal Protocol: largest LST on SUI, your staked position is frozen
• Volo & Spring SUI: liquid staking tokens you can't move or redeem
• USDC on SUI: Circle-native, gasless, and completely useless if you can't send it
• Agora AUSD: an institutional stablecoin that isn't stable when you can't transfer it
• Bucket Protocol BUCK: overcollateralized stablecoin with no collateral management possible
Yield doesn't compound during a stall, it just sits there doing nothing.
🟣 DEXs & DeFi: the most dangerous category
• Cetus Protocol: largest DEX on SUI, zero swaps processing
• Turbos Finance: launchpad and DEX both halted simultaneously
• KriyaDEX: orderbook-style trading with no orders being filled
• Aftermath Finance: router, DEX and LST stack all offline at once
• FlowX Finance: aggregator finding the best routes to nowhere
• NAVI Protocol: top lending market where liquidations can't process and positions sit at risk
• Suilend & Scallop: lending protocols with leverage strategies that can't execute
• Bucket Protocol: stablecoin engine with no engine running
This is where real money gets hurt, not paper losses but actual liquidation risk on frozen positions.
🎮 Gaming
• Panzerdogs: PvP tank battles with nobody moving
• Abyss World: AAA RPG sitting on a paused chain
• Lucky Kat Studios: mobile games that can't record a single on-chain move
• Run Legends: fitness meets gaming meets network stall
• SuiPlay0X1: Mysten's own gaming handheld, awkward timing for the team that built the chain
The "SUI bet big on gaming" narrative hits different when the chain itself is the one that tapped out.
🔧 Infrastructure & Bridges
• Wormhole & Axelar: cross-chain bridges with nothing to bridge out of
• Walrus: decentralized storage built by Mysten Labs, also Mysten's problem today
• SuiNS: .sui domains resolving to a chain that isn't responding
• Shinami: gas station infrastructure for a chain with no gas moving
• BlockVision: indexing data that stopped moving hours ago
Infrastructure only matters when the foundation underneath it holds.
👛 Wallets
• Sui Wallet, Martian, Ethos, Surf, Suiet: five different wallets, zero transactions going through
The uncomfortable math is that 30+ projects share one single point of failure.
Builders have zero control over the base layer, liquidations don't pause just because the chain did, cross-chain bridges can't save you when the source chain is the problem.
Parallel execution is only fast when something is actually executing.
The chains that win the next cycle won't just be the ones with the best tech specs on paper tbh.
What's the solution?
@schulzzy@Square If I’m already using Square as the intermediary, why would I even need Bitcoin for the payment?
At that point I’m basically trusting a centralized payment processor anyway.
Every bull cycle we hear the same thing from PoS chains.
“Unlimited TPS.” “Blockchain trilemma solved.” “Next generation scalability.”
Then real users show up and suddenly: “Network congestion.” “Transactions delayed.” “Team is working on a fix.”
We saw it with #Solana. Now we’re seeing it again.
This is why architecture matters more than marketing.
#Kaspa chose a completely different route: PoW, fair launch, decentralized infrastructure, and BlockDAG instead of forcing everything through a single chain.
Anyone can look scalable in a stress test or benchmark. The hard part is staying fast and decentralized when the entire world is actually using the network.
I get why you hold BTC since it was the first cryptocurrency.
But I honestly don’t understand holding LTC. It’s basically just a slightly faster copy of Bitcoin with the same overall architecture.
If you want exposure to another crypto besides Bitcoin, it makes more sense to look at a chain that keeps Bitcoin’s strengths — PoW and fair launch — while actually solving Bitcoin’s limitations.
Not “a little faster.” Actually fast. Decentralized, scalable, and programmable, with a completely different architecture built for modern usage.
Take a look at #Kaspa.
You’re still mixing up “nobody attacks it” with “it’s insecure.”
PoW security has always been economic. A network is secure when attacking it is irrational compared to the potential gain.
Kaspa already has enough hashrate and network effect that attacking it would cost more than it’s realistically worth. And if security ever weakens, price and incentives weaken too — which lowers the reason to attack in the first place. That feedback loop exists in every PoW chain, including Bitcoin.
Even today there are PoW chains with heavily concentrated hashpower that nobody attacks. Not because they’re magically “unbreakable,” but because there’s no economic reason to do it.
Bitcoin works on the exact same principle. Its security doesn’t come from some mystical property. It comes from economic deterrence created by PoW.
