Ok, let’s settle this. 

Technical Characteristics of a “Shitcoin”

Unique Use Case or Utility: It does not solve a real problem or offer anything new beyond what established projects already provide.

2.Poor Tokenomics:
• Unfair or opaque distribution (e.g. massive premine or hidden developer wallets).
• High inflation or unsustainable rewards.
• No clear value-capture mechanism or real demand.

3.Lack of Development Activity:
• Stagnant GitHub repos.
• No roadmap or consistent versioning.
• Copy-pasted or forked code with no innovation.

4.Centralized Control:
• Admin keys or the ability to halt or reverse transactions.
• One or a few developers control everything.

Hype Over Substance:
• Heavy reliance on influencers, memes, or FOMO tactics.
• No whitepaper or vague/AI-generated documentation.
• Unrealistic promises or buzzword stuffing (e.g. “AI + DeFi + Metaverse on-chain gaming layer”).

Real Community or Ecosystem:
• No real-world adoption or developer interest.
• Liquidity concentrated in one or two sketchy exchanges.

7.Pump-and-Dump Characteristics:
• Initial hype followed by rug pulls.
• Devs vanish post-launch or only update during pumps.

🚫Shitcoin Trait Vs ✅Kaspa’s Standing

🚫 No utility
✅ Kaspa offers real technical innovation: a high-throughput, fully decentralized, proof of work, blockDAG-based L1.

🚫 Poor tokenomics
✅ Kaspa has fair launch, no premine, no ICO, and transparent emissions.

🚫 No dev activity
✅ Extremely active GitHub; frequent upgrades (Rust rewrite, DAGKnight, pruning, Crescendo, ecosystem development of smart contracts).

🚫 Centralized control
✅ Fully decentralized with no central admin keys or backdoors.

🚫 All hype, no substance
✅ Technically respected across cryptography and L1 researchers; widely cited for its ghostDAG consensus.

🚫 No adoption
✅ Growing ecosystem: wallets, miners, merchants, apps and growing real world use cases.

🚫 Scam-like behavior
✅ Long-term transparent development by named developers like @michaelsuttonil and many others and founder like Yonatan Sompolinsky (also cited in ETH whitepaper and 1000s of others).

Any questions?
