Ep. 15 - Blockchain Banter: Beneath the Surface

Join us for Episode 15 of Blockchain Banter: Beneath the Surface, where we dive deep into the world of coding, AI-assisted development, and the future of Kaspa cryptocurrency. Hosted by Juan and Cara, this episode features inspiring stories and expert insights from the Kaspa community.

Cara shares her journey from beginner coder to building a Pong game and multiple browser extensions for Kaspa using AI tools like GitHub Co-Pilot, Anti-Gravity, Claude, and Gemini. She discusses overcoming errors, her experiences with Kaspathon, and plans for apps, plugins, and more to boost Kaspa adoption.

Kaspa core developer Izio joins to explain his work on covenants for native assets on Kaspa's L1, drawing from protocols like CAT on Bitcoin. He covers debugging, tools like Zed IDE, Excalidraw, and ngrok, and the ways AI can support research but not always code writing. The conversation shifts to macroeconomics: rising gold ($5,500/oz) and silver prices signaling dollar devaluation, debt crises, hyperinflation risks, and the role of crypto as a hedge.

Guests Rory (from KII - Kaspa Industrial Initiative), Millennial, and 16-Bit discuss liquidity injections, BRICS' commodity-backed unit, UBI, stablecoins, and Kaspa's efficiency as a proof-of-work evolution. Rory emphasizes community coherence: aligning on Kaspa's mission, avoiding tribal wars, rewarding builders, and fostering a "living organism" for adoption.

We explore morphic resonance, shared narratives, and industrial trust. Shoutouts to Neo's Better Melts, Kas BTC's Kaspa quiz, and community projects. Perfect for coders, crypto enthusiasts, and economic thinkers!
