Kaspa Community Revolts as Scaling Debate Heats Up

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

First up, CEX drama is off the charts. A bunch of people are seriously salty with Binance – from them “giving away Yonatan’s award to the runner up” to accusations they helped nuke the market back on October tenth. There’s talk of favoritism toward the usual suspects like TRON and BNB, and even conspiracies about big banks lobbying to keep Kaspa off major exchanges. The vibe? “BYE-nance,” close your accounts, starve the beast… mixed with a good dose of “yeah sure, our broke asses will lawyer up.”

On the nerdier side, people went deep on scaling to one hundred blocks per second. There’s a real worry about keeping nodes runnable on normal hardware: RAM, disk, bandwidth, compression – all of it. Folks love that today you can run a node on a regular box and want to keep it that way as throughput grows. Some even argue adoption should stay a bit suppressed until upgrades are locked in, so Kaspa doesn’t ossify like Bitcoin and make future changes a nightmare.

Then there’s the “big money in, little guys coping” storyline. Kaslens data says the top wallet’s average buy is around ten cents, most exchange wallets sit closer to five, and none are below that. Wallet eight has been accumulating again. At the same time, someone in chat drops that a company founded by a former US president’s brother might invest up to half a billion – and people are like, “you’re bearish… how?” It’s a weird mix of feeling tiny, but also maybe earlier than the whales.

Meanwhile, the price-copium cocktail is flowing. One message quotes Kaspa at about five point eight cents, up roughly five percent on the day. Others are calling for six point one cents today, fourteen cents by mid-January, and there’s even a bet on closing the year above seven cents. Long-term dreams range from fifty cents all the way to four dollars and even playful “three-fourteen dollars” pi memes. But behind the jokes are real stories: people selling bags to pay rent, waking up “in poverty,” yet still saying “Kas$ is the future.”

Finally, DeFi and the road ahead. The chat keeps coming back to “Kaspa needs DeFi, stat.” There’s skepticism after some low-effort KRC-20 stuff, but hope that future programmable layers will redeem the narrative. And hanging over everything are hints like “big announcements, December looks good” and “Kas secretly cooking huge things in twenty twenty-six.”

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