What is KAB Capital?
I spend an unreasonable amount of time looking for asymmetric trades across equities and crypto.
I focus on:
• Mispriced assets
• Catalysts
• Supply / float dynamics
• Market structure
• High-risk/high-reward situations
• Shitposts
I'll post the thesis before the outcome — including what would prove me wrong. Some will work. Some won't.
Follow if that's your kind of market.
What if proof-of-work didn’t waste the work?
I’ve spent a lot of time digging into $NOCK and I think Nockchain is one of the more interesting experiments in crypto right now.
Bitcoin miners spend enormous amounts of compute securing the network.
Nockchain is asking a different question:
Can the compute securing a network also produce something useful?
It started with zero-knowledge proofs. Now AI Proof-of-Work is live, where miners perform AI-related computation and cryptographically prove the work was actually done.
But this is where it gets interesting.
Nockchain isn’t just trying to make proof-of-work more useful. It’s trying to build a market for verifiable compute.
And its Q4 roadmap includes a useful inference routing protocol designed to bring actual demand to that compute.
That’s what I’m watching.
Paying miners in $NOCK to produce useful compute is one thing.
Getting someone else to pay for that compute is another.
If they can make that jump, I think the thesis gets a lot more interesting.
If they can’t, it’s impressive technology without enough economic demand behind it.
This is still a microcap and the risk here is high. The technology is interesting, but execution is what matters.
This isn’t a thesis I’m marrying. It’s one I’ll be constantly evaluating as they execute—or fail to.
Going deeper on the network economics, mining hardware and valuation next.
@seedphrase sold his punk (still his PFP btw) for $3M + an undisclosed amount.
Everyone calling it a $3M sale in the replies is getting the same response:
“more”
so how much more? What a chop
