definitely not, its just trying to present us best of both worlds, PoW and Smart contract, but frankly speaking even ETC is also PoW based with smart contract even though it has its share of vulnerability experiencing 51% attack.
though I don't think kaspa will be bitcoin 2.0 but so far kaspa has implemented quite good technology that I guess help it get some pump in these recent times.
No it isn’t, Kaspa is not Bitcoin 2.0 but is Kaspa 1.0
I find it somewhat interesting how altcoins are trying to match up with Bitcoin and are fond of making comparisons. OP, Bitcoin is unique and nothing is like it at the moment. Altcoins are called altcoins for a reason. Just the fact that the creators of Bitcoin are unknown beats these Altcoins, let alone many other things like total supply, decentralization, etc. Compare Kaspa with its peers and leave Bitcoin for now.
I think people are trying hard to compare it with bitcoin just because it still retains PoW for validating each blocks therefore many people are interested in it thinking it would be bitcoin 2.0 and also the fact that it got smart contract might means its bitcoin with added ethereum capability, well to be fair, bitcoin will never get overtaken by such coin though.
there's reason why bitcoin could still dominate despite doesn't really designed for smart contract.
