You seem to support Israel a lot. I'm not one or another but I can't say I'm surprised you are a big believer in Kas

“You seem to support Israel a lot” is subjective vs objective. If you’d like to discuss an objective issue, I’m happy to facilitate learning between the two of us. If you’re just looking to express your subjective feelings, I’m not interested.

I’ll add that you ignored my comment to discredit HODL’s ignorant words that didn’t support your position, yet scrolled through my feed to find something that supported your bias. Again, rather than challenging objectivity, you looked to reinforce your bias. Imagine HODL preaching about Bitcoin for years (and I don’t blame him for that, I have as well), but saying probabilistic finality is bad… Then to make matters worse, you and him both ignore the issue when you realize you’re wrong. And then after ignoring it, yourself goes to confirm your bias by implying Kaspa, an open source protocol, is Israel money. Do you use fiat currency? I guess that makes you a _____ (insert adjective). Everybody that’s contributed to fiat have qualities you can assign malice to.

Oh, and I’ll add:

I have absolutely nothing against Israel. My concern is the founders and project is all based in one country. I am highly skeptical that the world adopt said coin given the ideological opposing views in terms of politics. Furthermore, my biggest concern is the creator was noted on his medium saying he built Kas to get rich. I can't get behind that. Finally, best tech does not meant best money, if that was true, we would have new money backed by new tech every 2 to 3 years.

“My concern is the founders and project is all based in one country.”

-We use a number of technologies that were largely developed in one country (like Kaspa). Take the dollar, electricity, the automobile, or the internet for example. Do people really sit back and think about if they’ll use it because of where it came from? If you’re saying people won’t use it because of where the core developers have ties to, you’re applying that principle selectively.

“I am highly skeptical that the world adopt said coin given the ideological opposing views in terms of politics.”

-The US dropped multiple huge bombs on Japan less than 100 years ago and they are some of the US’s closest allies today. Politics change with the wind.

-I’m not sure why you included world adoption in your sentence, as if that’s the goal.

“Furthermore, my biggest concern is the creator was noted on his medium saying he built Kas to get rich.”

-Please post this here for the context.

-Rich means you control your time and energy. If you use fiat, that somebody else prints, do you control your time and energy? You don’t want to control your time and energy? You don’t want to be rich? It was fair launched. What’s your point?

“Finally, best tech does not meant best money, if that was true, we would have new money backed by new tech every 2 to 3 years.”

-That’s not true at all. How many fair-launched, POW coins are there? And how many of those fair-launched POW coins are 1,000x faster. And how many of those coins support smart contracts as a fair-launched POW? “New tech” doesn’t make something money. When you look at the crap created in the last 2-3 years, you’ll understand better.

Do people not use Spotify because it was born out of Sweden? Or the QR code because of Japan? What about GPS because it came from the US DOD? Your argument is nonsensical. You only appeal to it because it supports your bias.

Money is very different. Money is our world.

WildBill 4mo ago 💬 1

Money is time and energy in abstract form. Full stop.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

Sure, I agree.

So what's the plan when a new tech comes out in 2 or 3 years which is better than Kas in every way? Then what? We all jump on the new money?

WildBill 4mo ago 💬 1

First, I never said sell all your Bitcoin. It has a store of value achieved. There is plenty of room for both in a growing digital economy.

Second, you first have to define what needs to be better or what the problem is that drives “better”. Can you define what a better version would look like? As a fair-launched POW… if Kaspa is secure, if Kaspa can scale for P2P, if Kaspa can scale smart contracts for stable coins and tokenized assets… What Does the “next new tech” need to be able to do? Do you see what I’m saying? Should the new tech cook us dinner? We have to name a problem to entertain a hypothetical question such as, “what do we do when there comes a better tech?”

‪Can you comment on your selfless creator of kas who was noted as saying he created Kaspa to get rich on his medium? I saw it with my own eyes on Bitcoin University's YT Video. Seems like a guy we should support and pump his bags /s ‬

WildBill 4mo ago 💬 1

I asked you to post that Medium post for context. Share what he said. Truth matters.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

Check out Bitcoin University's video on Kaspa which is on YouTube.

It's right there clear as day.

I trust you will be disappointed just like myself.

Have a good weekend.

I’ve read the medium article. I was trying to get you to read the article so that you would see the context of how that was written. His sentence starts with “secondly”. When you go to work, do you hope to yourself that you work hard so that you can become poor? His primary reason for making Kaspa was to fulfill Satoshi‘s vision. It says as much in the medium article. However, you didn’t read it. You’re just reinforcing your biases, again. Bitcoin was created to preserve wealth. To gain riches. Nobody uses cryptocurrency and says I hope I get poor.

Every single argument you’ve presented thus far makes zero sense. Just like everybody else on this platform that I have talked to, they worship at the church of bitcoin and can’t objectively assess an issue.

I’ll reiterate, one more time, I love bitcoin. I buy it every week. It’s an excellent store of value. But it has not fulfilled Satoshi‘s vision and the federal government and stable coins are not going away. There is room for both in a growing digital economy. It’s saddens me to see such lack of objectivity on this platform.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

You're not listening.

The context is "secondly, to get rich".

This is not a selfless man and frankly I find it strange to write such a thing.

I wish you the best of luck. I don't believe in Kaspa and I would happily look at another project that has better tech in the future.

With technology these days advancing so fast I have no doubt another break through will come along in a year or two . I'll happily make a speculative play on something in the future.

Good luck to you buddy.

It’s amazing that you told me I wasn’t listening and then repeated back to me what I just typed to you.

You don’t know this man at all, so you have no idea what his character is. Secondly, he created a technology nobody else has been able to and fair-launched it. Objectively, it is selfless.

Technology advancing to fix what problem? You still didn’t answer that question.

Ive been objective. You’re talking about a man’s character you don’t know and saying it’s strange for a man to want to preserve his wealth in what he does for a living. Pretty ignorant.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

Dude it's like you are forcing me to accept Kaspa is a legitimate project. I don't. The fact you have a known creator amongst other things I don't like Kaspa. I wish you the best.

WildBill 4mo ago 💬 1

I’m not forcing you to do anything haha. At this point I’m trying to show you that the points you’re arguing make zero sense. If you’re cool with having an illogical argument, then so be it.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

My arguments are not illogical. Over the last year Kas has nothing but destroyed wealth during a bull market. Once again - all the best to you .

WildBill 4mo ago 💬 1

And now you want to argue your time preference on spot price… again, illogical. This is the dumbest argument of all. Should I pick a year that Bitcoin went down 75% and argue spot price? Zoom out. It’s up 47,000% in 3 years. Again, another illogical argument. Any Bitcoiner should know better than this. I’m disappointed in the lack of critical thought.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago

Okay mate .. absolutely no way I'm buying a speculative coin after it's gone up 47,000%. Thank you for reaffirming my bear case amongst other considerations. Let's leave it there. Agree to disagree my friend. God bless.

William McMullin The Third 4mo ago 💬 1

I appreciate your enthusiasm for KAS. So what do you do when a better version of KAS comes in 2 to 3 years? Do we all jump on them?

WildBill 4mo ago

Can you define what a better version would look like? In order to name a better version, you have to first state problems with the current version.

And to be explicit, I own BTC. I buy it every week. It’s a great store of value. But it’s not perfect. This is evident in many ways. “Never sell your Bitcoin” is one of them.
