I remember watching your videos in Kaspa’s early days and learning a ton. You were one of the first to break it down in a way that made sense, and it’s clear you’ve always approached mining with transparency and experience. Appreciate all you’ve contributed. On your point,totally fair concerns, especially coming from someone who’s seen cycles and knows the mining landscape inside out. Yes, Kaspa’s aggressive emission curve does front-load rewards, and it puts real pressure on price and adoption to sustain security long-term. But that curve was also designed to bootstrap decentralization early giving everyone, especially GPU miners, a real window of opportunity before ASICs took over. As for the hashrate drop, it’s real but not unexpected. We saw a huge spike due to speculation and ASICs hitting the market, and now we’re seeing the natural correction. What’s encouraging is that even with lower emissions, hashrate is still orders of magnitude higher than it was just a year ago. And we’re also starting to see wider distribution of hashrate as more units become available. Centralization around ASIC manufacturers is a systemic risk not just for Kaspa, but for every PoW chain. The difference is Kaspa is still early enough to learn from what happened to other projects and adapt. And tools like NiceHash do add volatility, but they also give small miners a way to stay involved. In short: the risks are real, but not terminal. Thanks again for all your early support. Your voice matters here. XXX engagements  [Post Link](https://x.com/ashishinsydney/status/1948497358762766684)
