Lets go!

[@dillonpereira5860]

This is so great!!! 🤩

[@kobylazar5571]

Great pod, excited to see more from Beyond the Block

[@alexanderm6037]

WOW!

[@pkm7001]

oh this is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,BIG

[@jjr3162]

Could we work on Tangem support? I think that would benefit everyone. Thanks for the hard work!

[@Nicola7]

you just need to understand what your technology is good for, once you done that the sky is the limit

[@rdizzy6284]

I think due to the increased security of pact kadena could be a huge player in the defi space. We need more proprietary uses and development to bring users to this wonderful project

[@muratselcuk9528]

Why isn't the price increasing?

[@TheDrpepper1985]

Patients. Cream will float to the top

[@jimmiedoss]

Probably because buy pressure is lowered when people only ask questions that make it seem like they just want to dump the coin instead of building & enjoying the community.

[@TristianWatson]

​@@jimmiedossit's hard to get past that mental bc KDA explained itself effortlessly that it's the next BTC essentially. When you hold that much power at such early stages the people that want to dump the coin when it explodes are thinking about stopping small stuff like job ect. It'll slowly shift to the longevity side for the community after they're settled I hope, regardless KDA🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕

[@lilmichael212]

KDA was at .40 cents a couple months ago, it’s at $1.10 today. Relax 😂

[@masterblaster767]

How can a good project still cost 1 dollar? It should be at least 10 dollars now.. I guess the team and the community are selling nonstop

[@onehittaquitta7191]

Traders, Central exchanges and miners are selling. It's a bear market. Knock it off

[@anwarwu5320]

BTC is reaching 50k but Kadena is sleeping for the last two years, why you make a video on a failed project, a project which does not work and is declared scam now.

[@onehittaquitta7191]

It's not a "failed project" or a scam. KDA transaction volume surpassed BTC recently, so it does work and works very well. KDA went to $28 last Bull run. It's a bear market and is down in price just like 95% of other ALTs.

[@kahoplan4109]

Unfortunately this is wrong, see Solana. And no, we are not in a bear market any more@@onehittaquitta7191

[@klubbstyler]

its not a bear market. Also if u put kda into the same category as other coins which are 95% down = then this project is doomed. (in other words it kda might go to ~5usd, but when bear market starts in ~1.5+ years kda will eventually go to 0.4 - 0.2usd etc *this is based on ur kda description (because 95% of sh1coins fail and people forget them and move to new ones. U are the one who placed kda into this category. @@onehittaquitta7191
