Ep. 2: Yonatan Sompolinsky’s Journey (The Kaspa Founder)
Kaspa Miniseries – Episode 2: The Man Behind the Machine
We’re back with Episode 2 of our Kaspa Miniseries! After exploring why Kaspa exists in our first episode, we’re now diving into the story of who created it. We continue to compress the epic 7.5-hour “The Bitcoin Takeover” podcast, bringing you the story of the man behind the machine.
In today’s episode, we uncover Yonatan Sompolinsky’s journey:
• From pure mathematics to a reluctant crypto revolutionary. • The humbling story of meeting a Bitcoin Core dev who instantly broke his protocol. • Why Yonatan was AGAINST launching Kaspa and actively tried to prevent it. • The “very bad idea” of the “game net” that accidentally sparked a grassroots movement. • His wish to remain anonymous and why he says he’ll “run out the window” once Kaspa is complete. • Childhood heroes, video games, and the personal influences that shaped his thinking.
The story doesn’t end here. The messy launch led to major controversy. Hit subscribe because in Episode 3, we’re tackling the Kaspa Fair Launch FUD head-on.
