#KAS Kaspa, through steadfast research and innovation efforts, integrates the foundation of Bitcoin with Solana-level execution. From a technical perspective, it deserves to win. Its victory is a win for the entire industry, a glimmer of hope for market integrity. No one can faithfully guarantee that it will get there or provide a probability of success. But I can assure you that the Kaspa core team is not interested in "half wins," nor are they interested in a few times the rise in market capitalization without actual value, unable to achieve ultimate victory (unable to wear the championship ring). As LeBron said after losing to Denver: making it to the conference finals (Western Conference Finals) does not excite me. If I can't make it to the finals, it means nothing to me.

It is very useful to delve into this analogy: a month and a half ago, the Lakers were unexpectedly eliminated by the Timberwolves in a lackluster and lethargic Game 5. Given that the Lakers were the obvious favorites in this series, this loss was very surprising and frustrating. Among the many commentators explaining the reasons for the Game 5 loss, I believe Nick Wright (@getnickwright) had the most accurate perspective: they lost not because they didn’t believe they could win this series, but because they didn’t believe they could win the championship. The battle with the Timberwolves made LeBron and (this should be AD, the original text incorrectly stated Luka) realize the team's flaws and shortcomings, to the point that they did not believe they could reach the Finals — this belief is a fundamental source of motivation for such players.
