Kaspa Tension Rises – Scarcity Debate Heats Up

Hey, welcome to Kaspa Daily Pulse – here’s what the Kaspa community’s been buzzing about today.

First up, the mood check. It’s a cocktail of gallows humor and grind-it-out patience. Price chat was full of “5-cent key support” talk and “it’s literally JOVER if we lose it,” with folks joking about flipping charts upside down just to cope. There’s still some dip-buy bravado, but the vibe is mostly “exhausted but hanging in.”

Second, a real conversation about scarcity and supply literacy bubbled up. One thread challenged whether “27B KAS” can be called scarce; others pushed back that scarcity isn’t just a “small number,” it’s about being limited. Translation: the number alone doesn’t decide value. In human-speak: twenty-seven billion becomes “27B,” and people are arguing what that actually means for worth.

Third, information flow is getting cleaned up. Mods said core updates mostly moved to Telegram, the R&D TG is pinned, and the Discord crew is shifting to use the Announcements channel more since more mods can post there. If you’ve felt lost, that’s exactly what they’re trying to fix. Keep an eye on those channels for clearer signals.

Fourth, smart-contracts and L2 chatter stayed hot. Some said DagKnight is “already designed,” vProgs is a different track, and “other SC solutions” are in development. Meanwhile, Kasplex vs. Igra debates lit up: people are frustrated with bridges, two-wallet UX, and “no stables yet,” and they want cleaner flows before real adoption. TL;DR: less buzzwords, more buttons that work.

Fifth, wallets and decentralization anxiety. One message claimed “Top 10 wallets hold ~19.5%” and there were rumors about who’s “wallet #1.” The community pushed back, joked, and argued—classic Discord—but it definitely put distribution on the radar. Treat it as chatter, not gospel, but it mattered to people today.

Bonus pulse: a few folks noticed the network averaged about “1.8 thousand TPS” during a stress test—impressive throughput, with the caveat we still need reasons to use it. High lanes… light traffic.

Macro watch to close: people are eyeing the Fed on Wednesday, October 29 at 18:00 UTC, with near-unanimous expectations of a small cut. If it happens, some are hoping it sparks a little risk-on rally for crypto and alts. We’ll see.

That’s it for today’s pulse. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. Catch you then.
