@binance,
Thanks for including me in the top 100 blockchain people list, appreciate the signal!
I must decline the Dubai invite though. I do not wish to disrespect, but many of the award voters are avid kaspians who rooted for my kaspa status at least as much as for my research. Let them win or count me out.
Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino. You may not be the culprit, but as a top player you hold the lionâs share of the responsibility to correct this, and the October crash your USDe oracle glitch helped trigger adds to what needs to be addressed.
There are three classes of crypto, as @mert put it recently: commercial crypto, casino crypto, cypherpunk crypto. <<Binance should hold a privilege policy for the latter.>> A TBTF CEX should know better and play a different game with hardcore crypto projects.
When binance lists a green frog three weeks post its âlaunchâ but skips a fair-launched-Nakamoto-Consensus-100ms-upgrade-ATH-top-20-the-only-nonbitcoin-marathon-mined project, this is not merely binance rationally calculating; it is also binance molding the market in a way that is alas misaligned with the roots of the movement.
You may feel that kaspaâs sovereign money thesis is boring â that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But whatâs the thesis for the green frog?
Money is a classic chicken-and-egg product. It is a scam up until one moment before tipping point, âmost of the value comes from the value that others place in it.â Considering your resources and influence, I think it's safe to say you can serve as both the egg and the chicken and make it worth your while to push sound attempts towards tipping point.
@cz_binance tweeted recently that âstrong projects will be listed.â But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the marketâs compass and impulse and definition of strong. It is not a read-only entity.
Binance listing fees are legit, they are just unfit for category cypherpunk. Kaspa devs and early supporters fairly mined less than half what satoshi and hals mined. We donât have a 20% ZEC-style foundersâ reward or protocol-enforced dev fund; this is not a jab at ZEC and the wonderful @Zooko, who was crashing in my car on a late Thursday back in the low ZEC MC days â if somebody deserves to win it is zooko â but assuming binance is not taking a maxi bet, it should revisit its relationship with hardcore crypto.
We are here through bull and bear, ICOs NFTs XYZs; and we are the source of confidence that restores faith and capital inflow post meme-induced or CEX-induced crashes.
Please fix this.
Thanks again,

Warning: I have not edited this rant into short form. Why? Because I have too much shit to say. Proceed with caution.

Crypto was supposed to be a rebellion. A fist through the worldâs banks. A digital Molotov lobbed into the vaults of the rich. Tear down kings and middlemen. Replace trust with math. Inject truth straight into the veins of the system.
But then the house took over.
Enter @binance. The great casino in the cloud that turned revolution into a loyalty program. What started as a P2P revolt got hijacked by a PR machine, selling rebellion one meme coin at a time. They took Satoshiâs war drum and looped it into fucking elevator music.
They tell you the market decides. Bullshit. The house decides.
They throttle listings, manufacture narratives, crown the loudest grift, and pedal dopamine to the masses. Flash over function. Decentralization swapped for dependency. Selfâsovereignty gutted for KYC. Revolution repackaged as customer service.
#Binance doesnât serve crypto ... Binance serves Binance.
But somewhere in this wasteland, a voice cuts through the noise:
âI must decline the Dubai invite.â
@hashdag doesnât want applause, selfies, or a golden handshake in the desert. Yes, the Kaspa community rallied for this, but mostly to make a point. He declined because this isnât vanity, itâs principle. The recognition would reward popularity over substance, applause over action. Instead, itâs about #Kaspa. Itâs the people who build, mine, verify, and keep the fire alive while the rest of crypto bows to PR and profit.
Heâs pointing to the totem of rot, the emblem of how ideals got sold for profit. Proof that a movement can be sold, twisted into theater, and burned for clicks and tickers.
Binance is the loudest example, the standard that sets the tone for the circus. They show the casino playground at its worst: flash over function, profit over principle. Commercial crypto feeds institutions, casino crypto feeds frog addicts, cypherpunk crypto feeds truth.
$KAS is the latter.
His post is a warning to the marketâs soâcalled leaders: act like you believe in crypto, or step the fuck aside. Protect the experiments that matter. Amplify truth, donât extort it. This isnât about glory; itâs about defending the system. Cypherpunk projects arenât marketing collateral or clout grabs. Theyâre experiments in freedom and verification. Treat them as sacred, not disposable.
Hear this clearly @cz_binance : you couldnât ask Satoshi to pay for a listing. And you canât ask Kaspa for 3%. You canât tollgate math. Kaspa IS math, not marketing. Fairâmined. No foundersâ stash. No secret investors. Protect it, or get the fuck out of the way.
And to the cypherpunks: Let the house sell its spectacles and crown its frogs. Weâll still be there, mining blocks, running nodes, building something that canât be bribed or blacklisted. This is being a cypherpunk. Defiance. Code over consent. Truth without permission. Running rigs when they say obsolete. Building when they say impossible. Not begging. Not waiting. Not kneeling.
We are Kaspa. We are the last spark of the cypherpunks.
And truth? Truth doesnât need to pay for a fucking listing.
Letâs make sure @cz_binance sees this
Actions speak louder than words
If Binance really cares about fundamentally strong projects, $KAS will be listed soon
