Food for thought

@JoshMandell6 Greed feeds on itself like a snake eating its own tail.

LIsten up please somebody consider all the frictions of a typical equity transaction and what is occuring here must be a huge multiple of this. There is a game afoot, and I am sorry but the professionals at Strategy have never had to pick a pocket or two The way the ATM is being used is causing a hemorrhage, leaking money into the coffers of large holders every week. The source of the supply is the company itself and they are relentless in their provision of liquidity to anyone who calls the proper phone number. I have never seen this in my whole career. Do you realize how much power that gives each holder who is playing the game? They must be long anyway, and they have figured out a way to beat the passive buy and hold approach against which they are measured. All they have to do is make sure the ATM is open and then they start selling their holdings, driving price down until they've got prices where they want to buy back and the price drop becomes profit against the passive index return for the day (BTW at this point mNAV is so low that this sell pressure is affecting BTC because of the arb/spread traders.) This is the most expensive give away I have ever seen. IT HURTS MY EYES SO MUCH TO WATCH THIS Michael @saylor .... c'mon man I have been sharp elbowed and I am sorry, but I know what's happening and how there are rats picking up crumbs falling off your plate everywhere you go. It adds up to serious outperformance. @shirishjajodia Please let me show that I am not looking for new followers. I engage with you because I sense the urgency, and I would like to say some things that perhaps shouldn't be shared with mercenary bastards who are no doubt churning this stock into oblivion. I would be honored to help address this without shutting down the entire system. But please understand that all this volume is a bug, not a feature. You have swarms of pickpockets all around you and you just need to have an OSS for this little ecosystem you're building.

@jason_pete95249 @TheManWithaBall My brother in Christ - poor example. Mosquitos are responsible for upwards of a million human casualties a year.

@TheManWithaBall Is this what a mosquito thinks when a human swats at its annoying existence ??? 🦟

@skibumtrading The price is not the tech. The tech is not the price. Identifying these kind of disconnects before they become hindsight is the entire game. youtu.be/57xQyBTTofo?si…

People are quick to point out that $KAS has been weak, price action wise. But don’t forget, the $0.14 target was a full fib extension and was the technical target. $0.20 was psychological. A pullback was not unreasonable. And before that move, at a penny, some people did not want to touch it because they thought it was going lower. Then, later on, they bought it high. Similar to now, people are frustrated and often times, those lower prices never come. Or boredom causes people to capitulate. When $KAS finally pumps again, these same people will likely fomo into the highs, and then complain afterwards. I am even more bullish now than I was at the highs, but my words likely will fall on deaf ears… and this is the nature of the markets.

@realvijayk Gents like @dotkrueger are dreadful representation of btc and a prime example of why adults are so desperately needed in the room. At best, they're an interesting psychology experiment of X's ability to rot those who can't seem to look away.

Okay I actually had the chance to go through this. I'm in disbelief these are the people "bitcoiners" learn from. I'm severely disappointed in Fred's lack of intellectual curiosity. Block me, Fred.

@Kaspa_HypeMan There is no stronger indicator of mental capacity (lack thereof) than individuals who wilt into the willful ignorance of tribal mentality. They will follow their opinions off a cliff. Which is generally what happens.

Shame on $BTC maxis for being overly dismissive of all other projects, labeling them shitcoins without consideration. This attitude ignores innovative advancements in the space—such as $KAS BlockDAG architecture with fast 100ms block times—and clings to the belief that Bitcoin’s slower, more limited design (7 tps, 10-minute blocks) is the only valid or useful application of distributed ledger technology for all of mankind, for all time. This rigid perspective stifles open discussion and progress in the broader crypto ecosystem.

Let's see if it plays out, or if it gets front run because of my generosity with my TA 😂

Some TA: There is a possibility that $KAS pulls back from .027 area and finds support at the .019 or .023 price region If this happens, I am making another large buy at .019 area (I would do .023 if I didn't already own any) This is just what I am doing, not financial advice

@rajatsoni @Kaspa_HypeMan My brother in Christ. People who build things *create value*. You regurgitate information about subject matter you sort-of understand as if you’re pioneer-ing it. And that’s okay. R&D: Rob & duplicate. It’s a timeless business model. Let’s deflate a tad.

@Kaspa_HypeMan Oh no!!! I create value and make money from it. The horror.

"Bitcoin has a problem and my shitcoin is the solution" 😂😂😂😂😂

@GaryCardone My brother in Christ -- zoom out.

@skibumtrading @EggSlonker69 @KaspaCurrency @KaspaSilver @auzghosty They can get as philosophical as they want when Kas experiences major adoption. Until then, this is self-inflicted opportunity-cost 101 because 'core members' (central) want to pretend to be Marcus Aurelius.

@EggSlonker69 @KaspaCurrency @KaspaSilver @auzghosty Bad move IMO. As I've already argued, Kaspa should lean into this account being a main account. It was good before--succinct, simple, cool, relatable. The tech should be decentralized -- the socials should be more cohesive and polished.

A brand new use case has recently emerged within the Kaspa ecosystem. It’s called Kasia! A guest post by @KaspaSilver Kasia is a fully encrypted P2P messaging system built on the Kaspa protocol. This project is being lead by @auzghosty and is completely open source. His goal is to have Kaspa be the most used proof of work in the world! Why could this be game changing for Kaspa ? First off any other proof of work system implementing this would see this as “spam” rather than a feature. But due to Kaspa’s pruning and rapid block times of 10 blocks per second Kaspa can handle this with no sweat. This service enables users to setup a wallet and fund it with at least 10 Kaspa to be able to send over 500K messages. Each message is a L1 transaction on the network. The key takeaways of this service are: A decentralized private P2P messaging service that is not reliant on a centralized server for constant uptime. A new use case for Kaspa outside of simply sending and receiving value. Increasing transaction volume and miner income. Please note this service is in early beta stages but is able to be used here: kasia.fyi This is a fully open source project so you can run it locally by following the steps here: github.com/K-Kluster/kasia Reach out to @auzghosty for any questions or feedback.

@brt2412 every time lol

Me trying not to bull post $KAS because I know in about 6 hours we’re gonna have the mother of all dumps and be right back where we started

@skibumtrading @parakas69 @Bitcoin @bitcoincoreorg @KaspaCurrency & the irony is, if 'branding' wasn't important @KaspaCurrency wouldn't shove some lame metaphor down everyone's throats in attempts to ...wait for it... *brand* it. If a central voice wasn't needed, they'd dilute their own as opposed to artistically whiff.

@parakas69 @Bitcoin @bitcoincoreorg @KaspaCurrency Sure, and also — nobody needs to care about KAS. The world is big and no matter the fundamentals, without strong, hard hitting content, the world keeps churning and probably won’t take much notice of Kaspa.

Even Bitcoin has a @Bitcoin account with simple concrete branding and marketing and a @bitcoincoreorg account with more dev focused updates. Why couldn’t $KAS have taken this approach, rather than botching the cohesiveness and momentum of the @KaspaCurrency account?

@skibumtrading @parakas69 @Bitcoin @bitcoincoreorg @KaspaCurrency The world is littered with people who die on hills no one ever knew existed The philosophy that 'marketing' isn't important is fundamentally flawed & an idealist sentiment at best This has been equivalent to unattended children w/ finger paint running around the Louvre

@skibumtrading @KaspaCurrency The mismanagement has been nothing short of an ep of The Office - just more satirical. Their philosophy is so impractical it borders delusion. Might not have been their intention to be the voice. As it’s likely not their intention to self-sabotage. But here we are.

It's actually insulting to me personally, to see the @KaspaCurrency account turned into what it is now. I promoted that account specifically in MANY of my posts about $KAS since 2022. Now, they are throwing it away, acting as though it's "decentralized" because a group of like 5 people are now running it.

@elldeeone @KaspaCurrency The metaphorical mental gymnastics to arrive at ‘Kaspa City’ (with or without a capital C) is a gold medal effort.

What the hell is going on with the Kaspa X account?! Let me finally say something. This page, @KaspaCurrency, formerly known as Kaspa, has been a source of stress, conflict, and endless debate for months. And truthfully? My patience has worn thin. I hate that the ‘c’ in “Kaspa city” isn’t capitalised. I never wanted that. It looks ridiculous. However, even basic things like that got caught up in the chaos. I’ve spent months trying to help steer this page in the right direction. Pushing for clarity. Pushing for alignment. Pushing for speed. Instead, we got circles. People coming in and out of the group. Conversations looping. Progress stalling. There were moments where I probably should’ve stepped away and let things play out. But I stuck around, not because I wanted control, but because I genuinely believed this page could become something better. Something that reflects what Kaspa is. And for that? I lost friends. Got character-assassinated. People put words in my mouth. Made assumptions. Spread bullshit. And I let it happen.. because I stupidly thought that shielding the mess might let us get to the good part faster. That ends now. I get it, this whole thing has been confusing. One day, a post. The next, silence. Then a post about cities and a name change. No context, no roadmap. It’s no wonder people feel blindsided. That’s on us. But the intent was never chaos, it was course correction. And to say it plainly, nobody in the group pushed Chad out. I tried multiple times to have open, honest conversations. Not everyone agreed with the direction, and that’s okay. But this wasn’t about replacing someone. It was about reframing what this account could be. If it were up to me, I would have preferred he had stayed onboard and worked collaboratively. The real problem is this: People saw this account as “the official voice” of Kaspa. It never was. But when everyone assumes it is, everything gets politicised. A name change? Suddenly it’s a conspiracy. A different tone? Suddenly it’s a coup. That’s why the page had to change. Kaspa isn’t a brand. It’s not a startup. It’s a movement. A community. A city. Cities don’t ask permission to evolve, they just do. That’s the energy we need. If we say we believe in decentralisation, then we have to live it. Not just in tech, but in voice, in ownership, in storytelling. That means giving up the idea of a single mouthpiece. It means embracing a little bit of mess, because that’s where the real signal comes from. And for the record, I originally wanted to change the page name to KaspaHub. Not because it had some grand meaning, I just thought it looked cool. But then Gilad proposed “Kaspa City,” and I wasn’t against it. It sat with me for a while. Then he sent me this TED Talk from Geoffrey West “The surprising math of cities and corporations” and something clicked. The metaphor of the city started to make sense. It had depth. It had relevance. And it started to feel right. So where does it go from here? - The page will primarily focus on reposting content from the community, especially highlighting those with smaller followings who deserve to be seen. - It will experiment with guest writers: different voices, different tones, writing directly from this account. - And ultimately, I would like to see this page run by AI. That’s not a meme. I’ve been working with frameworks like elizaOS to build a system where the community itself shapes the page, surfacing the best content. That’s the vision. Not perfectly executed... yet. But in motion. (And yeah, the lowercase ‘c’ was a fuck-up. It’s getting fixed. That’s not some weird branding move. Just something that got lost in the noise while trying to untangle everything else.) If you’re frustrated by the way this has gone, good. That means you care. Use that energy. Tag this account in your posts. Pitch something. Help shape what this city becomes. Because I still believe this page can be useful. I still believe that 10 independent accounts with 25K followers are stronger than one with 250K. This page isn’t here to dictate. It’s here to reflect. Let’s move forward. Not as one loud voice, but as many. Not as a product, as a city. Digital Money. Built by Pioneers. Led by the People. —Luke

@skibumtrading @KaspaCurrency ty - this idealist crusade against 'marketing' has been an absolute clinic on exactly how not to market. when Kas achieves escape velocity, sure - let's build stables for unicorns & pave roads with rainbows. until then, why don't we just prioritize clarity.

Btw, once google indexes this change... google search results will soon say "Kaspa city" which looks pretty unassuming and casual, even has improper grammar, and may not even be worthy of a click for most people. Don't you want normies to be able to find high quality info? Even if someone clicks it, nobody wants to land on a page that is undergoing an identity crisis, waxing poetic about what it is and who and how it is being run. Better to just share the most relevant news pertaining Kaspa Currency and call the account Kaspa Currency. wtf is the name "Kaspa city" other than an ideological exercise in futility? The original Kaspa name itself already encompasses that which it is, which is a decentralized network that anyone can build on. To call it Kaspa city is just a futile exercise. To change the platform with the most reach into something that lacks a polished, professional presence is a disservice to the project, and makes it harder to permeate the public conscience, in my opinion.

This page is evolving, not into a brand or a product, but into a city. Empires fall. Corporations fade. Cities survive and thrive. Cities are almost impossible to destroy—and we’ve tried. They endure pandemics, civil wars, bombings, and financial collapses. Cities survive because they don’t require permission to evolve. They grow stronger through emergent adaptation and diversity. Cities are antifragile. They thrive because they are an unlimited network for human coordination. They’re built from the bottom up by builders, teachers, traders, critics, and dreamers. They don’t wait for a plan. They don’t need a vote. They happen. Cities are the engine of social and economic wealth. Kaspa should be built like a digital city. This page was once seen as the “official” voice. Now, it transforms into a public square within a city. A space to spotlight builders, amplify contributors, and reflect the energy of the broader community. A city is not about one voice speaking loudly; it’s about many voices engaged in a dialogue. One central voice is fragile and homogenous. Ten thousand voices, all thriving independently, are resilient and heterogeneous. A city tolerates the human gaps. Anyone can join. Every voice is heard. No one can be kicked out. You don’t need permission to take action. You just show up. So today, this page becomes Kaspa city—a platform, a reflection of the many. The city is yours. Do your thing.

@michaelsuttonil @KaspaCurrency @elldeeone @cohengiladh I'll translate: they've successfully overcomplicated an already highly nuanced tech in attempts to grandstand with a nonsensical philosophical metaphor ultimately confusing the world at large. TLDR: this is the branding equivalent to striking out in tee-ball.

@KaspaCurrency While I relate to the creativity and deep philosophical idea of a city (/City...), it feels like this post should have been followed immediately with some action to give substance to this call. @elldeeone @cohengiladh

@BullyEsq Who are they casting as Saylor in ‘The Big Short 2’?

@DanCrenshawTX My brother in Christ. ‘How little information we have’ ‘Sure people support it. Who cares.’ ‘A **couple** cases of Nancy timing trades’ ‘We haven’t had a pay raise since…’ This is a masterclass in punching yourself in the face 😂

Yeah or maybe you’re a fucking lying piece of shit because I’m not even on the YES list for the whip team. Never have been. But hey, whatever gets you pathetic bottom feeders your click bait. Fucking incels.

@Cryptographur war *is* the worst in people.
