Just found out Foundation is closing.
Without knowing much detail: open offer to @saturnial for $1M for me to keep FND running for artists & collectors.
I ran the largest OG NFT art investment education community.
Offer ends in 48hr.

Crypto buy pressure is being decimated in 4 ways:
1. Speculation money is chasing AI stocks.
2. Volatility money is in Gold & precious metals.
3. Gambling money is in Polymarket.
4. Previously trapped illegal funds that had to get crypto assets for growth can now trade tradfi stocks through Hyperliquid's RWAs.
The only one winning with this trend change in Crypto is Hyperliquid.
Only RWA narrative/privacy/AI/higher-stakes ops like certain Memecoins or GameFI will stand a chance.
All else is likely a losing bet.

Hyperliquid is quietly the biggest alt-season killer.
The previous legal and logistical barrier to rotate out of crypto for tradfi exposure is vanished.
You can now sell ETH and instantly trade oil, gold, or the S&P 500 all on-chain on Hyperliquid.
And turns out people really want tradfi exposure.
Previously, that capital stayed trapped in alts, NFTs, L2s.
Now it has an out.
Alt liquidity isn’t just cycling anymore between alt coins,
It is stretched thin as it now has access to the entire financial markets.

I'm getting a bit of heat from the $BTC community about my curiosity with $KAS.
$KAS uses proof of work, there was no pre-mine, supposed to be decentralized, has low orphan rates, 1 second block time for finality, and seems to reflect the Bitcoin ethos.
I'm not saying to sell your $BTC and buy $KAS.
I'm just saying $KAS is interesting to study. It's unlike any other Crypto I've seen.

$KAS live on 10BPS. Sub second transaction below.
You don't even have time to look to the left after the sent confirmation on Kasware extension
Acceptance time? .31 seconds.
The perfect internet money is here. Satoshi's vision and standards of peer to peer electronic cash - fulfilled.

$KAS internet speed proof of work! This is #Bitcoin on internet speed! 10 blocks per second! Step aside SUI, ETH, SOLANA, ADA and any other layer 1 in existence! #POW #Kaspa @KaspaCurrency @Kaspa_HypeMan @DesheShai @hashdag @michaelsuttonil

I’ve used Ethereum. Waited for gas to drop. Switched wallets. Checked bridges. Paid $30 to move $15.
I’ve used Solana. Watched it fly. Then stall. Then restart.
I’ve used Bitcoin. Waited. And waited. Trusted, but never instant.
Then I found Kaspa. $KAS
No one shilled it to me.
No “airdrop soon.” No cult. No billion-dollar marketing.
Just raw code. And something rare: consistency.
I sent a transaction.
It confirmed in under 2 seconds.
It was final in less than 10.
The fee? One ten-thousandth of a dollar.
I thought: Wait — that’s it?
No bridge. No L2. No delay. No drama.
Just finality.
Then I looked deeper.
10 blocks per second.
A protocol called GhostDAG.
A mathematical breakthrough:
A network that scales by embracing parallelism — not suppressing it.
It doesn’t skip decentralization.
It doesn’t shortcut security.
And yet it delivers faster-than-internet latency —
on a permissionless, open network.
I didn’t think Proof-of-Work could feel this smooth.
But it does. Because it’s engineered, not marketed.
Kaspa is what crypto would look like
if it had been designed for people — not investors.
Not louder. Just better.
Try it once.
Then tell me you don’t feel the difference.

Kaspa Mainnet Crescendo activation date:
In keeping with our steadfast commitment to the timeline, we are set to release RK v1.0.0 on the coming Monday, March 31. The Crescendo activation, hardcoded at DAA score 110165000, is projected to occur at approximately 15:00 UTC on May 5, 2025
DAA score at the time of posting: 106803010
Delta: 3,361,990 blocks = 38.91 days
Let the countdown begin.
Kaspa Crescendo timeline update:
End of February 2025: Testnet 10 transition activation
End of March 2025: Mainnet version release (activation will be scheduled ~30 days from the release; currently favoring a single, swift transition from 1 to 10 BPS, though this decision will be reevaluated as we move closer to the finish line).
Short-term—January 21, 2025:
* Crescendo hardfork KIP proposing the exact consensus changes and the forking transition strategy
* Medium post detailing the remaining roadmap

Here is a thread of $KAS things you may or may not know! It will be ever-growing, so be sure to save it!

Education is what will help $KAS win. Focusing on price is a distraction and does more harm than good when trying to market $KAS to the world.
A strong holder base only happens when people buy because they understand what they are buying and not because someone promised them the moon.
$KAS doesn’t need to go to the moon what it needs to go to is local businesses, web applications, and individuals self-custodial wallets.
Study $KAS

oracle mechanisms

wholeheartedly agree with point (1): data manipulation aka the oracle problem is overlooked, is considered by crypto academia and crypto VC a second-order problem, whereas in truth it is as challenging to solve compared to computation validity, the voodoo math of zkp notwithstanding, since there's no refutability/accountability:
consider a rollup with a centralized entity operating the rollup<>L1 bridge. even in the extreme setup where the rollup's state can be fully misreported and arbitrarily declared by the operator, with no zk proofs or fraud proofs, the operator still has only a single chance to cheat---it is easy for everyone to see that the operator misreported the state and to abandon it forever. (which is arguably a sufficient guarantee in many sub 1B$ contexts. BTW, in such contexts many programming langs could do the job, eg python, and there's no need for the heavy lifting with a consensus-specialized VM. @JonaFunLevi note)
compared to a zk-verified and governed bridge with a centralized oracle for data, eg price feeds -- it is impossible to hold the operator accountable to misreports of data, since outdated prices can always be attributed to actual or feigned internet latency, and the two options are indistinguishable (in part., verifiable attestations are irrelevant).
i propose one route to address this, namely, to revert again to the PoW assumption of honest majority, and to design estimator mechanisms among miners (in the spirit of median or Huber's estimator, cf. Huber contamination model) that will output sufficiently verifiable input/data, @elimmea pls complete our paper :) admittedly honest majority is a weaker model compared to zkp's, but then again neither zkp nor tee contribute towards addressing the oracle problem
finally, for the PoW route to be feasible, you must sample many miners frequently, at each internet RTT, which is one primary motivation to go beyond 10 blocks per second with an appropriate PoW-DAG protocol (@Avivz78 I think you might be pleasantly surprised by the value of your DAGs here <3)
