I Can't Make It Any Clearer Than This: Buy Kaspa + Hold = Get Rich Faster Than BTC

Kaspa has a higher velocity in nearly all metrics when age-matched with Bitcoin. Kaspa merely has to maintain its current velocity and it'll inevitably flip Bitcoin!

Kaspa: The Fastest Asset in History on the Road to $1 Trillion

Kaspa has already surpassed Bitcoin as the fastest asset in history to reach a $1 billion market cap, doing so in just under two years. By comparison, Bitcoin required about four years to achieve the same milestone.

When a truly disruptive technology emerges, it doesn’t merely outpace the old. Oh no, in most cases it completely obliterates it!

AMD vs. Intel Analogy

Several years ago, it became apparent that AMD was overtaking Intel in the CPU market. Anyone paying attention could see it when the specs were released for the new CPUs. AMD simply had better performance and better price. The result was inevitable: AMD sold more chips, gained market share, and investors followed.

AMD CPUs now account for 40.39% of processors in use among Steam users which is an all-time high. AMD has steadily been stealing users and market share from Intel since their new Ryzen CPUs came out which was when they started to surpass Intel in performance and affordability for the first time ever. Intel still leads with 59.52%, but it's a shrinking advantage. Before these Ryzen CPUs, AMD was stuck in the mid to low 20% range sometimes dipping below it while Intel almost completely dominated.

Kaspa vs. Bitcoin tells a similar story.

The specs speak for themselves:

Kaspa: 1-second blocks (10 blocks per second), 1,000+ transactions per second, and pure PoW architecture that preserves all of Bitcoin’s ethos.
Bitcoin: 10-minute blocks and ~7 transactions per second and code changes are practically impossible as we’ve seen with the previous “block wars”.

Performance wins markets, and Kaspa’s performance edge is undeniable.

The Path to $1 Trillion

Kaspa has until 2033-12-18, ~8yrs, to prove itself capable of reaching a $1 trillion market cap exactly matching Bitcoins time. Track it at kaskold.com/kascan.

[Thanks to Christian for pointing out Kas beat Btc to $1B MC]

However, if it is to be truly disruptive then it should beat that time and I’d estimate that it has until Nov. 2029 in order to obliterate the old tech ~35% faster. (The actual math puts it at 2029-09-19 for 35% but I thought it’d be easier to remember as Nov. is Kaspa’s birth month and it’s very close. After this bull run and we get more data I can try honing in on the potential date later.)

Historically, assets that enter the top 10 by market cap experience their greatest growth when they catch their first Bitcoin-fueled bull run. If Kaspa is indeed the disruptive force many believe it to be, myself included. Then its trajectory should follow the same path only faster and since this is Kaspa’s first alt season then it could be its window of opportunity.

With smart contracts set to release in just a few days, August 31 ‘25, Kaspa’s climb toward becoming the fastest asset to $1 trillion is positioned to accelerate once again even if there is no Bitcoin bull run or alt season.

A Built-In Safety Net

Kaspa also benefits from the Kaspa Industrial Initiative (KII), which provides a unique form of resilience. They’ve helped by providing institutional adoption that is just waiting on specific zk-opcode upgrades to unlock new projects and transaction flows.

Once live, KII claims there is “absolutely nothing to worry about,” as chair Paul van Son states that what Kaspa has to offer—high throughput, cheap transactions that are decentralized and censorship-resistant—is in very high demand. He implies that KII’s projects alone will be enough to sustain Kaspa’s security budget, a luxury few other blockchains can claim.

In fact, there is a strong case that Bitcoin’s security budget has been cracking for some time—and it’s only getting worse. Read more about Bitcoin’s fee problem here.

Context in the Bigger Picture

I’ve already laid the groundwork in previous articles:

[The End of the 4-Year Cycles] — why the traditional Bitcoin cycle is fracturing and if Bitcoin were to be replaced as #1 it’d have to be by a “better BTC” that shares all the same ethos. Also, no market cycle lasts forever and it is entirely possible there’s a looming macro cycle that has yet to show itself. If it exists, it means Bitcoin’s 16yrs of expansive growth only has ~4yrs left as the world record longest cycle is ~20yrs.
[Thermodynamics: Bitcoin Has a Leak] — why Bitcoin’s architecture is leaking energy and value. Studies have even been done that show for miners to stay profitable on fees alone, the price of BTC would need to climb to astronomical, likely unrealistic levels.
[The Impending Alt Season] — why the next explosive growth phase is set to favor alts and major utility alts historically see about a one year extended bull run ending with a blow-off top. Not to mention all Kaspa has to do is maintain its velocity to inevitably flip Bitcoin and there is a rare window of opportunity with global crypto adoption at 10%. When disruptive tech reaches 10% it usually means escape velocity. Kaspa could achieve escape velocity before Bitcoin does!

The only advantage Bitcoin has over Kaspa is its Lindy Effect, aka network effect, aka loyal users that bring in more users, but why would the next billion users in crypto pick a slower more expensive network when a faster cheaper option with the same Bitcoin grade security exists? Especially, if those billion users are AI agents.

Kaspa doesn’t just fit into this narrative; it exemplifies it. Even if the developers reach a consensus and patch Bitcoin’s architecture, it will still remain slower and more expensive than Kaspa.

Conclusion

I want to reiterate that I’m expressing my personal beliefs here. I am not telling anyone what to do with their money. The statement ‘Buy Kaspa + Hold = Get Rich’ reflects my viewpoint and enthusiasm, and is intended as free speech, not as a financial recommendation. I understand that markets are unpredictable, and anyone who chooses to invest does so at their own risk and I hope you do too.

The thesis is simple:
Buy Kaspa + Hold = Get Rich Faster Than Bitcoin

[FYI I had a macro on my keyboard for years that said “Buy KAS + Hodl = $Get Rich$” that I’d spam when playing online games]

I can’t get behind saying something as bold as ‘Buy Kaspa + Hodl = Get Rich’ without fully believing it myself. The moment that changes I’ll be publishing a retraction. Until then, rather than try to figure out TA or say “my intuition says it’ll happen”, I’ve been working on bridging the gap with logic/reason and historical data. Attempting to corner the logic to force the most possible scenarios to the surface presenting my findings along the way.

Even if the thesis doesn’t hold, I’ve set plenty of checkpoints to give indication that Kaspa is no longer on the trajectory I’ve been praising it to be. Along with the near inevitable up-coming Bitcoin bull run and alt season within about the next 6 months or it invalidates the 4yr cycle. It seems barring an apocalyptic event/black swan, something I couldn’t possibly have seen coming, then buying Kaspa now (8/23/2025 1 Kas = $0.09) is the highest probability for profits with such a short timeline that I’ve ever seen.

I suspect Kaspa will soon no longer be just another altcoin, but instead the frontrunner to reshape the crypto landscape. For those who understand the numbers, the opportunity seems clear.
