@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 lion’s 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 “launch” 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 kaspa’s sovereign money thesis is boring – that bitcoin is already money and that implementing an internet-speed bitcoin is useless - fine. Wrong but fine. But what’s 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, “most of the value comes from the value that others place in it.” 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 “strong projects will be listed.” But binance is part of what defines "strong", it bears responsibility for the market’s 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 don’t have a 20% ZEC-style founders’ 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 – if somebody deserves to win it is zooko – 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,
hashdag

Exhibit A: Binance Innovation Zone
Exhibit B: 10 bps Nakamoto Consensus
If Dr. Yonatan Sompolinsky (@hashdag) and Michael Sutton (@michaelsuttonil) eventually win the award, it could ignite a massive $KAS bull run — the recognition alone would spotlight Kaspa’s groundbreaking tech to the entire crypto world. 🌍🔥
🫵🏼 You Are Not Bullish Enough.
The $KAS legend is trending. Make sure he is the winner.

$KAS community has ZERO marketing funds. ZERO. And we wouldn't waste it against him anyways. Seriously, what's his problem?

Let’s build the DePIN map, together 🌍
🧠 From hacker to researcher, rebel to builder —
Hans Moog @hus_qy joins Kaspa as a @Kaspa_KEF granted core researcher.
With 24+ years of coding, Hans has done it all: founded a successful tech company, ran underground gaming ops with millions of users, funded open science across the globe, and became one of the most respected minds in DAG-based DLTs.
After years of contributing to @iota research agenda, Hans began seeking a project whose architecture and values fully aligned with his vision for decentralization and long-term impact.
That search led him to Proof-of-Work and #PoW led him to #Kaspa.
Some of you saw him speak in April at the @festival_web3 on #Kaspa 2.0 and zero-knowledge tech. That collaboration laid the groundwork for what comes next. Hans is now helping shape #Kaspa’s future.
His deep expertise, principled mindset, and refusal to compromise are exactly what this ecosystem is about.
Welcome to the only PoW Layer 1 that matches your ambition, Hans.
Let’s build the future right. 🔨🌐
Guess what? @ChirpDeWi is the best performing Asset on #SUI last week and of the last 24h - and it's just the Beginning of the Journey: #Chirp is way better than #Helium, has #GameFi / Mobile Mining and is aiming to be the best #DePIN.
