Seeing two prominent community figures clashing publicly over Kas X is very refreshing, and I genuinely hope to see more such fights being aired openly. Our strength as a community lies in our disunity; the strength of bitcoin lies in the reality that opposing entities and individuals are collaborating and cooperating over it, for different interests or even conflicting values. Rigid cohesive communities are less likely to give birth to moneys -- collectibles yes, moneys no. (cf. the Andean/Inca civilization) Assuming Kaspa grew out of the socially-cohesive crypto-village phase, it is essential to reflect this maturity in public discourse, and to avoid thinking in terms of "trusting the community", "we the community opinion", etc. FWIW I for one genuinely do not know what these terms are referring to. Concretely, what makes an Alice, Bob, or Junny less representative of the community than Charlie, Dave, or Shai. And am I, Yonatan, considered a trusted, "the community", or a third party? Without picking sides in this particular quarrel, I suppose it'd be useful to exemplify the heterogeneity of the community by sharing my own assessment of @Kaspa_KEF. Namely, as a profit-seeking entity which has a deep "long" on KAS and whose selfish interests align with Kaspa's as I assess them today. The fact that they represent the interests of a large group of miners is an even stronger case for aligning incentives and cooperating, since Kaspa is mining-secured by construction. This is not to say that the interests of miners, or of this group of miners, are guaranteed to continuously overlap with those of KAS as I see them. Rather that so far KEF's contributions, adoption efforts, and market penetration initiatives seem by and large favourable and aligned with KAS. Even the KRC20 memes project, which I dislike and never promoted, has positive effects on miners' revenue, and in turn on network security (more on aligning degen activity with fundamental values in a separate post). While I believe both sides of this aisle are acting in good faith, and while I consider Shai a friend, I recommend placing little weight on assumed intentions and friendships. In Milton Friedman's words, roughly, the way you solve things is not by electing the right people but by making it profitable for the wrong people to do the right things. And so whatever KEF's motivations and intentions are, I view the organization as one which is highly aligned with the growth of Kaspa, and insofar as this alignment continues, I will continue collaborating with them. Whether my judgement in this case is merited or naive, I encourage kasfam to comprehend and embrace the cultural implications of moneyness, of which contention and disagreement over values are essential elements.
