I'm thinking about diving into my highlighted posts and make rewrites with new insights.
If "rewrites" please share favorites
If "nerd further" you get what you get.
I reserve the rights to not give a shit about the outcome of this poll and just Moose it.
Vlad, can you explain me why, when your hosts talk about the scalability problem, you never mention Kaspa?
You know it's better than a drivechain that it takes months to exit from, yet you never even ask them for an opinion about it.
Is it a sponsors thing and you're just not allowed?
Bounded by Energy
Hayek’s Problems of Knowledge and Coordination, and How Sound Proof-of-Work Solves Them
#kaspa $kas #RTD
Hayek showed that useful knowledge is dispersed, local, and tacit, no central planner can ever hold it all. He also saw the coordination problem: as systems scale, misalignment grows exponentially.
Proof-of-Work solves the first directly. With the oracle layer, it reaches for the second.
This is not a product description. It is a progression: from a machine that knows the price of energy to a network that can know the price of anything. The direction is not arbitrary. The primitives exist or are being built.
I. Bounded by Energy
1.1 What Bitcoin Actually Measures
Strip away the ideology: Bitcoin is a precise instrument with one input, the physical cost of producing a block, and one output, an ordered, immutable ownership record.
Its genius is narrowness: one globally unified sensor, bounded by energy. Decentralization became real the moment price appeared. Miners suddenly had an external signal to watch. Pools, competition, and cooperation all emerged from that single price signal, not from governance or trust.
1.2 The Knowledge Problem, Solved for Energy
Hayek’s knowledge problem: electricity costs vary wildly by location, time, and conditions. No central authority can map this in real time.
Bitcoin doesn’t try. The mining market aggregates it automatically through competition and the block lottery. One miner wins at 15¢/kWh, another at 4¢. Over time, efficiency wins. The global average cost of production becomes price, without anyone planning it.
Hayek asked who aggregates dispersed knowledge. For energy, the answer is no one. The honest lottery does it.
1.3 Why Kaspa Samples More Tightly
Kaspa samples the same reality at 10 blocks per second, roughly 6,000× more granular than Bitcoin’s 144 blocks per day.
The “bounded by energy” property remains identical to any sound PoW chain, but the tighter sampling makes price sit closer to the true global average at any moment.
This is Hayek’s knowledge problem solved for energy, at internet speed, and one reason Kaspa showed lower early volatility: the same uncertainty, simply smoothed by frequency.
I’m seriously shaking right now the $KAS community is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I am trying to like, follow back, and interact with everyone who commented on my posts but there’s so many of you guys so just know I’m not intentionally ignoring anyone.
After I have some time to breathe I will be sending back every single $KAS I received in donations today, making a seed phrase wallet (as a semi experienced crypto guy I should’ve known this already lol 😭🤦🏻♂️) and upgrading my opsec.
To @Tangem: this was 100% a bug in your app and I hope it gets fixed because I am beyond exhausted with the “Incorrect passcode” gaslighting screen I saw 500x over the last few days. The actual correct passcode was the one I entered the first 75 times before I started making a password tree generated by ChatGPT. So please do better and on top of fixing it please ACKNOWLEDGE the bug and I think you’ll retain most of your customers after this terrible roller coaster of an ordeal I’ve had.
Gosh it’s such a good feeling man. We are so back 🚀🚀🚀
