Beginners' Guide to why $TAO and $KAS make up 90% of my portfolio...

[@jmt__]

I’m so glad I found your videos when I randomly started researching TAO. Great work.

[@thomaskeeffe8271]

Enjoyed Content “Kaspa”

[@Ricky--Bobby]

Kaspa bag packed🎉🎉 power Law 2024 for me also🎉🎉🎉😅

[@JasperMaartenHoutman]

People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

[@duffinvests]

Thanks for sharing. Made me feel like I haven’t got enough TAO or KAS but really good information that has improved my understanding of both 👍

[@mrbud8524]

Great video. TAO is a beast undervalued project super bullish on the project.

[@TheAssaschan]

Love the Kaspa content especially!

[@Rogerraybemsleyjr]

Ccxd linked your channel 🎉 I enjoyed your power law kaspa $2 dollars nice 👍

[@hairulnizamsaleh1044]

power of law bring me to your videos....thanx mate

[@ciso344]

Love the Kaspa content. I also own a tiny bit of Tao but I just don’t see it doing well in the future. It seems like a ponzi waiting to collapse. We already learned that any project with a large yield will always collapse in the last cycle.

[@sashaa1960]

TF are you even talking about.

[@WeBeClubbin]

Pretty cool to see that your son keeps you grounded 👍😄

[@bobbyjimenez4482]

I heard power law for the first time with plan K....I think without top tier exchange 2$ is quite difficult to reach

[@SuperAlexMck]

Hmmmm...I own fetch AI. Wondering if it's worth getting out of that and going heavier into TAO now

[@Yesrly1]

Hey Siam, bearing in mind the trickle down of money from btc to big caps to mid caps and then low caps, wouldn’t you say that the peak for TAO might come a bit later than the peak of BTC?

[@ave3360]

great vid, would you say now its even better to get into TAO since its basically half the value where you spoke about it? Im down but still buying and bringing the average down, nothing changed fundamentally with TAO right? where do you search for all the info related to them?

[@WEASELWAZEL242]

Is tao fair launched I've not researched it but its certainly on my radar thanks for your time 😀

What a difference a few days makes to prices 😅

[@timl2665]

The Power Law is why I am 90% into Kaspa this cycle....

[@rayygun]

If Kas follows the power law like BTC, why has KAS/BTC bled out so badly? Serious question?

[@penti7974]

One does not exclude the other

[@donkeydong1]

Idiots 🤡

[@carlscott3130]

Once TAO reaches max supply, how will the staking returns be generated? If the price goes as high as you suggest, if returns are generated purely from someone paying to use the AI subnets then won't they be prohibitively expensive to use?

[@sa1sa624]

Long term next tao halving? Will apr from staking be cut in half? Guess it would make sense just curious. Just got into tao thanks fro the videos

When you work on something that only has the capacity to make you 5 dollars, it does not matter how much harder you work - the most you will make is 5 dollars.

[@judeoluwasola7738]

At least, you have rest of mind that your payer will likely not run away with your pay.

[@fabianastua]

Ive been mining and holding kaspa since 2022. I wish I had more 😢

[@mehmetsirin8238]

Hi , i am also long on kas but kas sceptics say that the size of the blockdag for kas (io blockchain) will become too big as the kaspa network develops in time, it will become then more and more difficult for any individual to manage a nod, the cost will become prohibitive for a nod manager, while we need a lot of nods to assure the decentralization of the network. Some say pruning is the answer to that, but pruning is again a threat to the network’s integrity. Any thoughts on this ? Thanks :)

[@coozx535]

As of today, it’s down over 40% since your video. Is it still everything you believe it was when you recorded the video?

[@rayygun]

KAS/BTC has been bleeding out

[@ymy.m]

I have 5% of my net assets in Kaspa and 50% in Bitcoin. Not sure if Kaspa will succeed in living almost on fees only (that is, enough massive adoption), which is my greatest FUD & concern on Kaspa.

[@Dedude65]

Love your explaination.. great video.. ❤

[@Hello-eh1iy]

You didnt take into account for Kas, no VCs involved, no tier 1 exchanges yet, krc20(smart contract), rust upgrade, eventually 10bps. Just those alone will send it pretty high.

[@farhadazizov6552]

Great Siam. Thanks, as usual

[@ymy.m]

Power law won't last forever. It's only a result of certain fundamentals that held over a certain period, and does not guarantee that they will stay the same. BTC seems to underperform against its power law fair value, and Kaspa also needs some conservative adjustments to power law coefficients.

[@blackrok.]

Amen. Kaspa 1000x.❤

You clearly have done no research into what's happening in Bittensor...price does not equal value.

[@amo7540]

@@siamkidd I'm not talking about that, like you a big part of my portfolio is in Tao, but puting everything in one time (all in) is a bad strategy because when you have big corrections you ca buy it for less...

[@ClintWKennedy]

As the rewards are decreased, will the staking rewards get decreased as well?

[@ChumpChangeXD]

Excellent video 🔥

[@richardhines14]

Hi siam...when staking TAO, does the reward TAO automatically get staked? or do you have to restake this yourself?

[@juliandiamknd9703]

I have found that you have to stake the outputs of your Tao staking. It's not automatically restaked.

[@siamkidd]

No your yield is automatically staked. It's the month end bonuses from your validator that aren't auto staked.

[@edrius]

Yes it follows the power law! Buy Kaspa!

[@MikeStillUK]

Watching this and wondering how much these companies are paying you to promote them …?

[@siamkidd]

I've NEVER in my life been paid to talk about a crypto. Despite being approached all the time. Before ignorantly slandering and casting shade at someone, perhaps expend some brain glucose and do more than 30 seconds of research? KAS and TAO are bear market fair launch decentralised entities. There's no company or hierarchy or investor seed funds or marketing pot. They were both released into the wild like Bitcoin. If you like Bitcoin, then you will like KAS. It's like me landing on your channel and saying something stupid like "He talks about Bitcoin a lot, I wonder how much Bitcoin is paying him to promote it?"

[@MikeStillUK]

@@siamkidd ​ Apologies for jumping to an incorrect conclusion. I also often get offered to promote coins and projects so excuse my skepticism. I read your book a few nights ago - 'The Crypto Book' which was gifted to me years ago by my brother but I never read until now. I was chuckling to myself as you talked about how bitcoin was like AOL/Altavista and would be replaced with better tech etc etc. ‘Bitcoin isn’t the future but crypto is…’ classic 2017 takes. I remember them well. Couldn't help wondering what the author was doing now and was chuffed to find you on KZbin so easily. And yet… 6 years later, despite bitcoin having won and almost every shitcoin trending to zero against BTC you are still banging the shitcoin drum so either I am missing something big, or you’re cashing in selling courses to people looking for ‘the next bitcoin’. You seem like a high integrity decent guy which is why I am so puzzled. Why are you still shilling this nonsense? I wondered if you could point me to a recent(ish) video where you explain why you are still looking for ‘the next bitcoin’ when the real thing is here and winning and has reached global dominance and has won the race to become global money and the possible future global reserve asset? I am rather confused. Many thanks, Mike.

[@siamkidd]

Ahh yes the Crypto Book. So the thing about being a full time Trader/Investor is that it's nothing to do with predictions, you just have to come up with the 3-5 most probabilistic scenarios, attribute your action plan for each scenario and then wait. Once a scenario is playing out, you then go "Oooh, this was one of my scenarios, I'm now doing xyz". When writing that book in 2017 (which was then released in 2018), that was my first proper cycle. As in, the first cycle where I had put in a considerable amount of money in. Therefore I had my Trading mindset fully in place as I was hopping in and out of all sorts. And trading BTC back then was painful. Moving a lot of BTC from wallet to wallet felt like I was back in 1990 as there would be 10-20 mins where it was in 'transit' and they would be the longest 10-20 mins of your life waiting for like $1m of BTC to land in your wallet. So I remember thinking, "BTC is great, but it's slow and clunky as shit. Perhaps it will be more like digital Gold as opposed to what Satoshi clearly laid out in the whitepaper of p2p digital currency." So you were probably reading/feeling those vibes. It turns out BTC has moved more into the digital store of wealth category and is the hardest money on the planet. That slowness is almost a feature. So I have always been looking out for the 'Silver' to the Bitcoin Gold. Turns out, that Silver is Kaspa. Bear market fair launch, code released into the wild, innovative emission schedule, founder is a crypto beast (research Yonatan Sompilinsky and Aviv Zohar). Hell, last year I moved $4m from 1 wallet to another and it was in the wallet before I released the mouse button and finality is within 10 seconds. Also, Bitcoin was the first ever asset that adhered to the Power Law....but Kaspa is only 2 years old and adheres to it better. Hence why I have 15% ish of my pot in Kaspa. The rest of the pot is in TAO (Bittensor), for all the reasons I mentioned in this video. I would re-watch it with an open mind and actually learn why it's a game-changer. Also, if I just bought and held Bitcoin in 2017 till now, I'd be many magnitudes poorer than I am today. It's by flip flopping between assets that I've made alpha. The Realistic Trader community contributes a tiny part of my income. It's just a nice friendly group where we meet up every 2 months etc. Not sure what you mean by shilling nonsense?! In crypto you have to go with the tide. Each cycle there is a definitive tide (narrative). I've bought and held high conviction coins based on each cycle narrative. Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmewpJese86KbJo This cycle is all about AI. Hence Bittensor. I don't shill anything. I never get paid to talk about what I talk about. In terms of not understanding/liking Bitcoin, it's not the case. Here are 2 videos from a couple of years ago saying why Bitcoin IS Economic Energy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y169m3d4otKoldk And why it's a geo-political superweapon: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHvWiqiCh8h0gKM But going back to the point, yes Bitcoin COULD be the big swinging dick for the next xx years. But I'm in Crypto to make PROFIT. I judge everything I do in trading in terms of "Have I beaten Bitcoin gains?" And the answer is a massive yes. Just buying and holding Bitcoin for the long term and not timing the cycles etc is for 2 types of people. 1.) Simpletons who don't understand crypto and can't be arsed to learn it properly, but they have that that innate feeling that they need exposure to it. Which is great. The market needs these people. But they will ride it all the way to the top of a cycle and to the bottom. It's egregious lost opportunity cost here. 2.) People with extreme wealth, like north of £100m and they need a real wealth preservation tool so CB dilution doesn't erode them away. Michael Saylor is the epitome of this. Hell, since Jan 2017, BTC has only gone up 7200% ish. Meanwhile, ETH has done 145k%! And ETH is a big shit coin. Hope this helps.

[@MikeStillUK]

@@siamkidd Thanks for your reply Siam, appreciate you taking the time to respond. Personally, if bitcoin continues to compound at ~50% for the next 5-10 years then that works for me. Greed is the enemy IMHO. Like you said in one of your recent lectures - global debasement is ~15% so I think we both agree bitcoin is likely to continue to outpace that by some margin. I don't fit into category 1 or 2 which you laid out above. I just happened to have built up some savings and want to see those continue to grow in real terms. I do wonder when you talk about your 'pot' of Kaspa and Tao - how much of your net worth you are speculating with there. Presumably it's a small portion but this might come across as misleading to someone watching your video thinking that you put your entire liquid net worth into these projects. I owned a bunch of shitcoins in 2017. Reading your book brought it all back. I owned Verge, XLM... I probably owned 50 different coins late 2017 / early 2018. Then started following people like Trace Mayer, Pierre Rochard, Max Keiser... bitcoin maxis you could call them. Switched all my shitcoins for bitcoin by 2021. Page 134 of your book: "My HODLers are: NEO, ADA,TRX, VET, ONT, NEX, ETHOS, OMG, PHORE and NANO" ... we know what happened to them. They all crashed and burned in BTC terms. Poor reader who read your book and bought these now-deceased shitcoins. You said yourself you hoped people would use that book you wrote as their 'crypto bible' (page 213) - hopefully few did or they'd be rekt. In the nicest possible way I wonder whether you're A) earlier on your journey to bitcoin maximalism or B) just a bit more of a degen! It's interesting you end with ETH as the example of shitcoin outperformance. Even today after its recent ETF pump, if you'd bought ETH any time in the past 3 years, OR during most of 2017 and most of 2018 (periods which make up roughly half of its life) you're down in BTC terms. 99.9% of shitcoins trend to zero in BTC terms as you know, so picking winners truly is a casino. You know all this already but people coming into the space today might not. As for your point about how fast Kaspa moves compared to bitcoin, L2s and L3s will solve for speed and a CBDC will move just as fast as Kaspa which none of us want so again, these sound like 2017 arguments aimed at noobs. Bitcoin's PoW tie to energy in the real world is what sets it apart. Admittedly I know nothing about Kaspa. So I guess to sum up: (1) I am still curious as to your portfolio construction and how much is BTC, KAS, TAO, property, gold(?) etc... (2) You're worth several million, you got a nice plane... you got a family ... what's the end goal!? Why still play in the casino of shitcoins? (3) Would you accept/admit you're a somewhat of a degen addicted to the casino? (4) Do you believe the upside of these shitcoins in the long term is greater than the upside of bitcoin? (5) Why not just hodl bitcoin and focus on your craft? (6) Do you think Kaspa is going to dethrone bitcoin and become global money? If not then why own it? Anyhow - I am working through your videos. You're a gifted speaker and I am enjoying the lectures! PS. I graduated IOT 24 in Sep 2011 and held at Cranwell and Shrivenham before starting EFT in 2014. Our paths probably crossed. Cool huh!?

[@basicguy5785]
