There isn't much discussion for truly-decentralized projects like Kaspa and ETC, because most people are interested in making a quick buck. All of the attention is on "meme" coins and NFTs. KAS is just another smart contract platform without any exciting tokens and/or services built on it. The day someone decides to launch a "meme" coin on the Kaspa blockchain, will be the day KAS will go all the way to the moon. It's that simple.
The crypto market is all about hype these days. If KAS fails to gain the attention of mainstream investors and traders alike, it will remain a lost and forgotten coin forever. At least, the project has a good vision behind it. As long as it stays decentralized and censorship-resistant, there should be nothing to worry about.
