Kaspa shocks traders with sudden god candle surge

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

So first up, vibes. People are joking that we “accepted poverty and joy,” but at the same time they’re low-key freaked out that Kaspa’s price is drifting up and kind of… staying there. One message literally says they’re “worried” because the price is going up and it’s stable – like, that can’t be real. There’s talk of retraces to around the mid-4 cent range, then memories of that wild move from about 4 to 12 cents in half a day, and today’s “god candle” that blasted from just under six cents to a bit over it and wrecked some comfy shorts. Classic mix of “it’s jover” and “KAS to a dollar, minimum.”

Highlight two: big brain talk about upgrades. The chat went deep on vProg, DAGKnight, and block-per-second targets – ten today, dreams of thirty-two base speed and maybe one hundred later. Some folks argue there’s “no point for higher bps” until the ecosystem grows; others are die-hard “upgrades first” purists. In the middle you’ve got the voice of reason saying it’s not either/or – adoption and upgrades have to run in parallel, with miners and pools eventually bullied into upgrading if needed. Everyone agrees on one thing though: Kaspa’s culture is the opposite of Bitcoin’s “no change” vibe – “Kas likes changes.”

Third, macro brain rot. People are watching the calendar: “in three days QT ends officially,” plus a quarter-point rate cut penciled in around the sixteenth to seventeenth. That sparks a full-on debate: one side says no altseason without fresh quantitative easing, especially from the U.S.; the other side insists the liquidity is already in Bitcoin and will rotate as dominance tops out. Somebody even drops that the total crypto market cap is sitting around “three point two trillion,” arguing there’s plenty of dry powder already inside the system.

Fourth, miners and economics. French miners basically say it’s “dead” for them unless Kaspa hits the mid-teens in cents because of electricity prices, though they’re hoping to get down to about one cent per kilowatt-hour next year so they can “mine all day.” There’s chatter about new ASICs like the Ks7 lite, jokes about home nuclear reactors, and a serious reminder that even with free power, more hashrate just means less reward per unit. Later on, they argue about whether miners constantly selling emissions – mid six-figure dollars a day versus mid eight-figure trading volume – really move the market or just add pressure when books are thin.

And finally, the culture. People are dunking on paid influencer groups and “courses,” calling long-term fading of Kaspa a mistake and proudly claiming “PoW over PoS” while they read whitepapers, stalk wallets, and hype new research like Stitchbot or the Kaspa Flow study group in Brazil. Underneath all the memes, there’s this stubborn, almost romantic belief that “never sell your KAS, it’s our only shot.”

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