I do not exaggerate: when other coins ask exchanges on their knees "plz list us, we will pay you sir". Kaspa sais: you either list me or you are dead. Feel difference in the tone.

Kaspa to consensus is what ARM was to microprocessors. ARM debunked the prevailing belief that RISC architecture is obsolete and inferior to CISC, capabilities- and performance-wise, Kaspa debunks the prevailing myth that PoW is obsolete and inferior to PoS, scalability-wise

A Call Back to the Roots, Yonatan’s Mic Drop Heard Around Crypto Land (1.2 Million Views and Counting) Yesterday, Yonatan Sompolinsky, (@hashdag ) founder of Kaspa and co-creator of GHOSTDAG, declined an invitation from @binance after being listed among the top 100 blockchain figures. His post, now seen by more than a million people, was not about the contest or the award. It was about something much larger. In a few sharp paragraphs, Yonatan did what few in this industry have the courage or credibility to do. He reminded everyone what cryptocurrency and blockchain tech was meant to be. “Crypto has turned from a euphoric cypherpunk project to a house-friendly casino.” That line will likely be quoted for years. It captured the quiet frustration many have felt watching the original cypherpunk vision turn into a spectacle of speculation, personality cults, and meme markets. Yonatan’s message was not anti-exchange. (maybe) It was a call for accountability. Binance, as the largest exchange in the world, does not simply reflect the market; it defines it. The decision to list a meme coin within weeks while ignoring a fair-launched, PoW-based, Nakamoto-consensus project like Kaspa is not neutral. It shapes what the market values and what it forgets. When Yonatan wrote, “Binance is part of what defines "strong,” he reminded the industry that power brings responsibility. Exchanges, influencers, and funds who claim to support “strong projects” cannot hide behind market demand when they are the ones setting it. Kaspa and the Continuation of the Original Thesis Kaspa’s story has always been about carrying forward Satoshi’s unfinished work. A fair launch. No ICO. No founder rewards. A network built by miners, not marketed by investors. It remains one of the few examples of what can still be called cypherpunk crypto, a system that values decentralization, permissionless access, and proof of work as a defense against capture. In a world of quick gains and token theatrics, Kaspa represents the opposite approach: build first and earn trust later. Its achievements speak for themselves. Ten blocks per second, the only live implementation of BlockDAG consensus, and the upcoming DAGKnight upgrade which will redefine performance in distributed systems. Alongside it comes vProgs, a programmable validation layer that extends Kaspa’s architecture while preserving its pure PoW principles. Cryptoland and the Meme Park Era At @Kaspa_Commons, we have been talking about this shift since we launched in May, although the movement has been around since 2014. The rise of what we called “Cryptoland” has turned much of the industry into a spectacle of entertainment and extraction rather than innovation and freedom. Yonatan’s post gives voice to that quiet disillusionment felt across the real builder community. Cryptoland has its rides, mascots, and ticket booths. But beyond the flashing lights there remains a small circle of engineers and believers working toward what this movement was always meant to be: an open, decentralized system for digital value and data transfer that cannot be censored or co-opted. The post’s viral reach was not about rejecting an invitation. It was about reclaiming the microphone. Yonatan voiced what many in the trenches have been too exhausted or too cautious to say. The mission has been corrupted, but it is not lost. For many, this was a reminder that the cypherpunk fire still burns, and that it now burns brightest inside Kaspa. In a time when “crypto” has become synonymous with speculation, Yonatan’s words cut through the noise. They remind us that decentralization, fairness, and proof of work are not nostalgic ideals. They are the foundation. Four years after Kaspa’s fair launch, the project and its community still stand on those principles. In that sense, Yonatan’s post was more than a protest. It was a declaration of purpose. Kaspa is not asking for recognition. It is reminding the world what real innovation looks like and why it still matters.

@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 cc @michaelsuttonil Exhibit A: Binance Innovation Zone Exhibit B: 10 bps Nakamoto Consensus

Crypto is not about price but value proposition that #KAS Kaspa will bring Sure, it will not happen overnight but what matters in web 3.0 is which product delivers. @hashdag has offered that to BTC but community as Christmas present but they rejected innovation - then comes #KAS and I am excited to see this evolve!

Saylor pulled the rug. I’ve been warning people for months that he is a sleezy, corrupt fraud. He lied to investors and promised $MSTR wouldn’t issue stock below 2.5x mNAV. But with the premium crashing (3.4x → 1.6x since Nov ‘24), he quietly rewrote it to “management flexibility.” What does it mean? He can now dilute shareholders anytime it benefits him. This was never about Bitcoin, it’s about Saylor cashing in.

A few days ago, @KaspaSilver and @rajatsoni had a debate about $KAS vs. $BTC. I wrote a Substack article with my thoughts. Click here to read: vijaykailash.substack.com/p/…

5 reasons why you should focus on #Kaspa, welcome to refute: 🔥 The world's best public chain, performance first, throughput close to CEX. 10 blocks per second (to reach 100 in the future), enough to meet high-frequency transactions and application space. 🔥 Although smart contracts have not yet been launched, more than 100 technical teams have developed applications based on the test network. The ecosystem is very strong. 🔥 Mining started fairly, there is no ASIC arms race, and most chips are distributed to more people. Even if you hold 100,000 $KAS, you can only rank about 30,000th. 🔥 The price is low, and its market value even ranks behind $ETC. You must know that the scale of ecological application developers of the two is not at the same level. 🔥 It is more suitable for global payment scenarios than #Bitcoin, small and fast. #Kaspa is what Satoshi originally envisioned, with second-level payments and low transaction fees. I have explained this many times without getting tired of it. If you still can’t grasp the new technology trends, you will miss the era of #crypto 3.0.

The funniest thing is that every time a BTC versus Kaspa debate is announced, Kaspa people say they are for a healthy debate. The truth is that all these debates are worthless. Kaspa is superior to Bitcoin in all aspects that exist, period. That means either Bitcoiners recognize this and there is no point in talking, or they deny it, which means there can be no healthy debate. In reality, I see no point in listening to such spaces, because it is a complete waste of time, unless you want to have an unhealthy debate.

Haha I’m sorry that it didn’t turn into a more fruitful discussion. The reason bitcoin is a good SOV is cause you can’t actually spend or use it 😅 that’s why kaspa doesn’t make sense to bitcoiners. They never touch it and if they actually tried to spend it, they would realize how KAS is the solution. But this is unfortunately the most common flaw of the bitcoiners SOV narrative they will never move their bitcoin so it doesn’t matter. They will learn the hard way on a few years when they realize UTXO management is going to be a nightmare

Update on the encrypted messaging service on $kas It is a hybrid encryption system that combines ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) for key exchange and ChaCha20-Poly1305 for the actual message encryption. This is True P2P encrypted messaging, only achievable on the fastest, most secure and most decentralized L1 known to man. It may look slow, but this is due to the tesnet api and not kaspa. The receiver of the message see's the transaction instantly. Massive thanks to @IzioDev for helping. @coderofstuff_ @michaelsuttonil @jack
