Ep. 14 - Blockchain Banter: Beneath the Surface

Join us for Episode 14 of Blockchain Banter: Beneath The Surface, where hosts Juan and Cara explore the latest in Kaspa developments, community insights, and macroeconomic trends. Featuring engaging discussions with Kaspa enthusiasts and experts.The episode kicks off with excitement over VProgs hitting GitHub, open-source progress, and upcoming Kaspa explorers like KRC Bot's fair and transparent version.

Juan recounts a dramatic podcast appearance on Digital Gold Talk, highlighting agendas in crypto spaces and the importance of truth-seeking. Breaking news: Trump's pro-crypto bill speech at the W.F., potentially fostering infrastructure growth, with KII's prior SEC/CFTC engagements signaling bullish regulatory clarity for commodities like Kaspa.

Rory from KII (Kaspa Industrial Initiative) joins to discuss industrial adoption: custom silicon for transactions, hardware prototypes, NDAs protecting enterprise tests, and Kaspa's role in real-world commerce (e.g., tokenizing commodities, enabling flow in supply chains). He contrasts fear-based maximalism with Kaspa's abundance mindset, emphasizing community coherence, energy flow over scarcity, and building a "living ledger."

Guests Bishop, 16 Bit, and Onion share stories: Bishop on his Kaspa miner purchase via KasMart.org (escrow-protected marketplace), 16 Bit on photography and community vibes, Onion on past rants and Bitcoin critiques. The group dives into bank runs, IOUs, fee markets, sovereignty, and merging passions like wrestling with Kaspa. Deep philosophical takes on energy, stories, and unique perspectives from the panel, underscoring Kaspa's potential beyond currency—as a global sequencer for truth and data. Shoutouts to community projects, wallets, bridges, and Defi integrations like Cascade with MEXC. Perfect for Kaspa fans, builders, and truth-seekers!
