Were we wrong about Kaspa? That's the question the host sits down to tackle with Greater Good Mining in this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast, taking an honest, unfiltered look back at where everyone thought Kaspa was headed — and where it actually stands today.
They dig into the aggressive emission schedule that's shaped Kaspa's trajectory, the brutal reality of ASIC depreciation for anyone mining it, and push back on the idea some Kaspa loyalists seem to hold that mining the coin is some kind of charity. From there, the conversation turns to the more forward-looking side of things: merge mining opportunities with coins like ZKAS, the potential upside of Kaspa's Covenants, and the upcoming DAG Knight upgrades on the roadmap.
They also get real about what's still missing — namely, the kind of business development Kaspa will need if it wants to survive and succeed long term, hype cycles aside. Whether you're a Kaspa holder, a fellow miner, or just crypto curious, this candid conversation covers where the hype died, where the hope still remains, and what it would actually take for Kaspa to get where its early believers thought it was going.
