Leverage Wipeouts, Wallet Warnings & Kaspa Drama

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

First up: the tech timeline chatter is back. People were tossing around that DAGKNIGHT is slated for Q1 2026, and of course… that immediately turned into a mini civil war over chart narratives. One side tried to map it onto Wyckoff “phases,” the other side basically went, “ bro, stop forcing bullish patterns.” The vibe? Strong conviction in the tech… and a lot less certainty about how the market prices that tech in the short term.

Second highlight: sentiment around price action was… spicy. Folks were reliving that infamous “one cent” wick / liquidation chaos and arguing whether it was a trader’s fault or an exchange “mishap” that nuked stops and wiped even “safe” 2x longs. The takeaway most people agreed on: leverage is a guillotine, and “safe long” is kinda an oxymoron. At the same time, you had steady DCA energy—people talking about buying more soon, others saying they’re waiting for lower levels, and the room collectively side-eyeing anyone calling a clean reversal too confidently.

Third: builders showed up. Someone talked about a POS app they’re planning to push to GitHub in the next couple of weeks, with community help after that—plus a reminder that Kaspathon submissions need to be open source. And the best advice in the thread was simple: ship an MVP, then iterate based on real user feedback.

Fourth: wallet security got real practical. The community compared Ledger, Tangem, and OneKey, with the general consensus that Kaspium is fine but it’s a hot wallet—more “going out wallet” than “life savings.” There was also a surprisingly detailed rabbit hole about avoiding Bluetooth models because batteries can expand over time… and because it’s one more attack vector.

And finally, some side-eye on the ecosystem: debate around Igra bringing in Ashton, with people bringing up the “Nacho” pump-and-dump baggage, and worries about tokens getting pushed—while others just shrugged and said, “startup vibes, high velocity.”

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