Blockchain Banter: Beneath the Surface
We discuss Kaspa, a fast, decentralized, proof-of-work, scalable, and secure protocol. It is so much more than a cryptocurrency. Kaspa is peer-to-peer electronic cash. It is also programmable, and people are building in the Kaspa ecosystem. We discuss Kaspa news, adoption, BlockDAG tech, and the human perspective. We are not professional financial advisors, and everything we say is purely opinion and not financial advice. Do your own research. We look forward to connecting with you!
