 I've never heard of Kaspa ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ but someone is building a nostr client with a wallet for it. Not sure this counts as 'growth', maybe slightly lol:)

More coin memes 😞

 What's kaspa?

It means flaky scalp in spanish 🤷‍♂️😅 
 🤣 I'll swap you a piece of skin off me head for 20,000 sats. #P2P  
 Fair launched, POW, layer 1, with a block speed of 1 second. #22 on CMC without any tier-1 listings. Don’t miss it.

 It's bound to be another shitcoin deadend, but I think it speaks in Nostr's favor that somebody can do so if they wish. 
 Definitely, just not likely gonna bring anything other than coin chat to the feed. That's my main problem with it lol 
 What kinds of projects would you like to see? 
 I quite like the Meshtastic community that's growing here. Fishing communities, ramblers, urban explorers, b movie directors, folklore investigators etc etc lol 
 Nobody here wants goddamn Kaspa. Instant mute for me if I see anyone shilling it. 
 I didn't think anyone would care, I don't care either lol but you can't stop them building ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ 

Wondering if this actually does anything useful tho? It's just more coin chat to clutter up the feed.  
 This is never going anywhere. 
 I suspect the same. 
 Do you want to pursue the truth of it or listen to his uninformed opinion? 
 I do. I buy BTC and Kaspa every week. Both are time and energy in abstracted form. They’re both hard money. 
 This is great, more of this!

The Kaspa retards will realise there’s a dozen of them in a circlejerk and if they find value in the content on Nostr they’ll switch to a client which supports Bitcoin like everyone else uses, otherwise it’s just going to be abandoned anyway.

Shitcoiners will be forced to learn how money works in reality the hard way. 
 Money is time and ever in abstracted form. BTC is 10 min of that energy. Kaspa is 1 second. I love BTC. But I am one of those Kaspa retards you refer to. There are not dozens more. DYOR. #kaspa 
 What money represents, is not what money is. 

Go spin up your retard client and find out for yourself. 
 Money is time and energy in abstracted form. It’s a medium of exchange for that time and energy. 
 Money is much more than that, including a network and a social consensus to name but a few.

Good luck trying to Kaspa-pill the world with its Zionist founders. I’m sure all the Muslim Bitcoiners who care about Halal money will be right behind you joining the dozen spuds on your retard client.. 
 Do they use dollars? 
 Money is not a social census. If everybody believed a banana is an airplane, could you fly with it? @jack mallers 
 Money is most definitely a social consensus. It is the very lubricant of a society. It’s what we use so we don’t bash and steal and simply let the strongest dominate.

Go try buy an airplane with bananas and you’ll find there are ZERO takers in the world. You won’t be able to form consensus with a single person to participate in your transaction.

You’ll find exactly the same when you release your Kaspa client and absolutely no-one wants your shitcoin and the social consensus of what money is on Nostr remains Bitcoin. 
 Money is time and energy in abstracted form. That’s why you can’t buy an airplane with a banana. 
 You COULD buy an airplane with a banana, if you could find consensus with someone willing to part ways with an airplane for a banana. Nothing precludes that tx and you repeating time and energy is irrelevant.

Every transaction involves consensus. 

This is what you don’t seem to get.

Spin up your retard client and you’ll get a real world demonstration - no other clients are going to implement Kaspa wallets so you’re not going to be able to use your shitcoin because no-one will be willing nor able to receive it.

You’re going to get a very practical lesson in the economics of shitcoining. 
 Nobody is saying a banana is money haha. 
 I would accept a banana in trade for my goods and services before I would your shitcoin
