@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

Do you want the #Kaspa community to grow?
You want the $KAS price to go up and your bags to pump?
Then read my words below ⤵️
The majority of the really strong Kaspa community is making a crucial mistake:
They want to convince $BTC Maxis that $KAS is better than #Bitcoin
This only achieves one thing:
REJECTION!
Why?
Because you are attacking their beliefs and convictions.
What do you think will come of this?
Ease or pressure?
Acceptance or rejection?
Respect or disinterest?
Just because $Kaspa has the same consensus as Bitcoin does not mean that Kaspa has come to replace Bitcoin, compete with the world's best store of value, or even badmouth it!
What Kaspa has created IS unique!
But as long as you can't explain the first-mover bonus, you'll make yourself look ridiculous instead of winning new friends.
So what is the solution?
Instead of comparing it to digital gold (Bitcoin)... How about comparing Kaspa to digital silver instead?
It's already in the name:
Kaspa = Aramaic = silver
Would silver have prevailed if its sole mission had been to outrank gold?
Probably not!
First and foremost, learn humanity, charity, AND how to ask the right questions, which, in my opinion, no one in the $KAS community can do as well as @realvijayk, who is incredibly diplomatic and understanding in his work.
How about we, as one of the strongest communities in cryptospace, show SOLIDARITY and rely on our OWN strengths?
I think we can all agree that Kaspa lacks marketing.
But there are over 500k Kaspa holders – don't you think we have some brilliant minds hidden away here?
@thekaspaleidy & @YorichiiCrypto create the best Kaspa graphics for me
@christianludwig has a magical understanding of Kaspa and can explain the alien tech in simple terms
@skibumtrading provides brilliant chart updates
@Kaspa_HypeMan, @groddofcrypto@kaspaguru are perceived as old hands who constantly push the mission
@ScapeSquad is disciplined on X like few others
@KaspaReport provides us with insightful data
@travladd brings incredible reach
@KASNetzwerk who is constantly advancing the project within the German community.
I could go on like this FOREVER!

What I'm getting at:
Bring your expertise TOGETHER.
What I can/may/will contribute:
I've been familiar with building communities since 2012 – in 3 years, we've created by FAR the strongest one in the German-speaking world.
On top of that, I'm an entrepreneur who has the privilege of leading a team of almost 35 people (crypto related) + share the message on Instagram (177k Personal Brand Account: https://t.co/BEwqTLm3DO)
If you have any questions about scaling, sales, or marketing, I can certainly help.
Remember:
Simplicity grows...
Fancy fails!
No one in mainstream adoption cares about the groundbreaking tech behind it.
What helped $ADA achieve such a RUN in 2020/21?
A community that managed to inspire the MASSES!
Play with simple arguments, such as the grandiose comparison of speed (that´s NOT a unique selling point).
Keep explaining the difference between proof of work and proof of stake like $ETH etc. (energy must be invested to mine new coins, instead of them being created out of thin air).
Also explain what Fair Launched means.
What is the difference between this and VC-driven projects like $SOL, $XRP, $SUI etc.?
Play with the GIGA tokenomics = 1367 KAS correspond to 1 BTC
--> Purely from a tokenomics perspective (28.7b / 0.021b, there are infographics on this, give it a try and use them regularly).
Play with supply scarcity (93.45% in circulation, in July 2027 already scarcer than BTC --> Not as an attack, as a COMPARISON!)
Play with easy graphical illustrations instead of using Grok/Chat GPT To The Moon images.
Of course, all these arguments are secondary once maximum greed hits the market and the chart explodes with green dildos, but $KAS is much more than that!
Ratio is important, but emotions sell.
And without action, such a reaction is unlikely to occur.
Lack of accessibility:
Most people complain about the lack of accessibility on the major exchanges (#Binance, #Coinbase, #OKX)...
A Tier 1 CEX listing costs around $500k as an investment, correct?
But why is there still no donation account?
I'm sure we would get it filled within a few days/weeks.
Question:
What do you think are other USPs (unique selling points) that make Kaspa unique?
Explain to normal people in SIMPLE terms that #BTC + #KAS are cryptocurrencies, while everything else are crypto companies?
--> Feel free to write it in the comments
And please keep in mind:
I am NOT here to convert anyone — I am here solely to inspire and help advance mass adoption.
IMPORTANT:
Patience is a virtue!
Mass adoption takes TIME!
Consistency beats speed.
Bitcoin took 12 years to break the 1T mark... $KAS (and possibly $TAO) will have the opportunity to break this record.
Feel free to share this message, true to the motto:
If you want to change the world, change your country.
If you want to change your country, change your city.
If you want to change your city, change your street.
If you want to change your street, change your house.
If you want to change your house, change yourself.
And TOGETHER, we are capable of so much more than any lone warrior.
P.S. In the attachment, you will find a relevant image that I have not yet been able to find online, where we move away from “BTC vs. KAS” and toward a “silver vs. digital silver” perspective.
Going to buy 10 $KAS for EVERY like, repost and comment on this post.
24H only! ⌛️
Will post the proof in the comments later #Kaspa Family.
Are you ready? ♥️
Let´s go 🚀
P.S. Great idea @Kasparium, thanks for the inspiration 🫡 #communitydriven
@elonmusk Looks like Elon finally found $KAS 💊
The perfect, digital, decentralized, deflationary, incredibly cheap, and 6000x faster PoW chain than Bitcoin with the same consensus + 93% of all coins already in circulation.
Soon to be accepted as payment on X @elonmusk?
Kobe, it’s been five years, and I still find myself looking back on your legacy as a father, a friend, and a fierce competitor. Gigi was proof that greatness runs in the family, and the love you shared inspires all of us who are blessed to be girl dads. Your impact goes beyond basketball, and it always will. Rest in peace, my brother… you and Gigi are forever in our hearts.
It was astonishing how insanely hard legacy media tried to cancel me for saying “my heart goes out to you” and moving my hand from my heart to the audience.
In the end, this deception will just be another nail in the coffin of legacy media.
„Ich weigere mich anzuerkennen, dass die Taten von Mannheim, Solingen, Magdeburg und jetzt #Aschaffenburg die neue Normalität in Deutschland sein sollen. Das Maß ist endgültig voll. Wir stehen vor dem Scherbenhaufen einer in Deutschland seit zehn Jahren fehlgeleiteten Asyl- und Einwanderungspolitik.” (tm)
Die Messerattacke auf eine Kindergruppe in #Aschaffenburg erschüttert mich zutiefst. Meine Gedanken sind bei den Opfern und ihren Familien, mein Dank gilt den Einsatzkräften. Klar ist: So kann es nicht weitergehen. Wir müssen und werden Recht und Ordnung wiederherstellen! (FM)
If meme coins are the way, maybe I’ll issue one. With a twist. Same terms as $TRUMP . 20% float. Same release schedule. One difference.
All the revenue from the sale of the coins go to the US Treasury. The wallet address will be published so everyone can track it.
If you want to gamble, gamble. But at least use it to make a dent in the US Debt
You in ?
