Here is an explanation of why I think being a maximalist for anything including $KAS is dangerous. We now recognize #Bitcoin is a very limited, and perhaps flawed and ultimately doomed old technology. We hail the #blockDAG as the holy grail that solves the blockchain trilemma. But what this technology still needs is a sequence of blocks and the sequence of transactions. The order of things is still central to this way of thinking. However, pioneers of Blockchain technology, who think that the order of the blocks doesn’t really matter. DAGs have many mathematical problems and unintended consequences not fully explored. Academics are continuously searching for alternatives. What if I told you there is a technology that doesn’t care when and where a block is created and can always process it no matter how it enters not the blockchain but the Lattice. It is still in development and hasn’t proven its mettle in the real world, but that was the case once upon a time for bitcoin and only two years ago for Kaspa. At the heart of Convex lies a two-layer lattice system, the global state lattice, a secure layer acts as a public, foundational network, ensuring consensus amongst participants and a scalable and verifiable storage layer efficiently stores vast amounts of data using content-addressable storage and Merkle DAGs. This allows Convex dAppe to leverage virtually unlimited off-chain storage by linking value IDs directly from the Global State Lattice. What if this turns out to be superior to anything Kaspa has to offer ? What if in the years time smart contracts on KAS still don’t work as advertised while there are suddenly 10 new lattice computing chains dominating the conversation? 🤷‍♂️ What if artificial intelligence comes up with yet better solutions that will stun the world. 🤷‍♀️ Blockchain development isn’t a pissing contest. It is a continuous quest for improvement. It never stops. Human ingenuity knows no bounds. We live in a decentralized globally connected world where millions of people have an opportunity to contribute to the advancement of science. Nothing will ever be the last word on anything. That is the beauty of it. Don’t get stuck with what you think is the Holy Grail! There is no holy grail. The holy story was an invention of a French trouvère called Cretien de Troyes. We must come together to build a multichain future together. Maximalism of ANY kind is poison. And if all you care a little about is the US$ price of your pet token, you don’t deserve a seat at the table.
