Kaspa has emerged as the most profitable cryptocurrency to mine in 2024 due to its unique features and advantages. However, it still faces challenges when compared to the established Bitcoin network.

Don’t get me wrong; when you go to asicminervalue.com you can clearly see that – regardless of the model machine – the Kaspa protocol is the most profitable coin to mine right now. But the overall Hashrate is a dismal 360 – 400 PH/s. This simply is not strong enough to make it viable as a global monetary asset.

Kaspa operates on the innovative GhostDAG protocol, which enhances its security and transaction speed. This protocol enables the network to achieve faster block rates, allowing for near-instant transaction confirmations. As a result, Kaspa boasts a high transaction throughput, which is crucial for scalability and efficiency in cryptocurrency networks​​.

One of the key reasons behind Kaspa’s profitability is its energy-efficient kHeavyHash algorithm. This algorithm significantly reduces the power consumption required for mining, making it more cost-effective for miners. Additionally, Kaspa’s architecture supports effective solo mining at lower hashrates, further democratizing the mining process and enabling smaller miners to participate competitively​

Kaspa could probably survive as an exclusive asset for a major enitiy. Marathon Digital is taking a gamble to see how much profit they can rake while mining Kaspa. A major company like Marathon can leverage its resources to mine a significant portion of the cryptocurrency, potentially treating it as a proprietary asset.

But I can’t stress network security enough. Essentially, Just one data center with about 25-35 MW of power that runs on the Bitcoin network – if they ran the Kaspa Protocol – could take over the entire Kaspa network.

So, while the momentum is currently there for miners to run Kaspa and make some quick gains. In the long run, the security of the Kaspa Network raises enough concern to not invest in the coin.

There could possibly be a moment in time where Bitcoin Mining companies become so lucrative, that they could mine their own proprietary cryptocurrency. But I don’t seeing it overtaking the already established global monetary network that is Bitcoin.
