In a surprising twist, the Loom Network’s LOOM token has taken the crypto world by storm, surpassing even Bitcoin in recent discussions. The altcoin’s impressive performance has seen its value skyrocket by over 570% in just one month.
The buzz around LOOM began after an X (formerly Twitter) post by Santiment on October 13, highlighting its dominance in social media conversations. The altcoin’s rally defied the bearish trend in the market, with its price jumping from $0.038-$0.039 to $0.268.
The Loom Network’s spotlight moment has overshadowed other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Dogecoin, which have been embroiled in their own dramas.

Other cryptocurrencies like Kaspa Network (KAS) and USDR have also been part of the discourse, with KAS experiencing a significant rally and USDR facing a de-pegging issue. Tokens like AZERO, CRO, FRAX, and XCN have also been mentioned frequently.

Nicholas Harness
Kaspa Ambassador
College DAO/KASPA-U
At the first ever ETH Chicago event from September 15-17, a gathering of blockchain fans, developers, and students took place. Nicholas Harness, a Kaspa Ambassador and member of Kapsa-U, delivered a talk on the integration of Kaspa and CollegeDAO within the student web3 community. He also explored how students are getting involved and contributing to this sector.
The report focuses on the highlights of Harness’ talk and its impact on blockchain education, the MIT Bitcoin experiment, CollegeDAO’s proposed follow-up experiment, and Kaspa’s influence on the student scene.
Approximately 100 people attended the Kaspa discussion, mainly students and hackers. It was reported that there were about 80 students from CollegeDAO, but only 17 were able to gather for a group photo.
Student Involvement in Web3
Nicholas Harness started his talk by discussing the significance of Web3 technologies and the vital role students can play in its development. He identified opportunities for learning, collaboration, and skill development as key benefits for students involved in blockchain projects.
He also touched on the MIT Bitcoin experiment from 2014, which gave Bitcoin to MIT students but had its limitations, mainly focusing on Bitcoin without a broader educational approach. CollegeDAO’s planned successor experiment aims to overcome these limitations by creating a decentralized system for distributing cryptocurrencies to students across various universities to encourage wider adoption.
Conclusion
Harness’ presentation highlighted the importance of student participation in Web3 and blockchain. It showcased Kaspa’s dedication to advancing blockchain technology and supporting student engagement. Moving forward, student and educational involvement will continue to shape the future of blockchain, elevating Kaspa and Web3 in the traditional business world.
The talk concluded with a thank you note to Rhubarbarian for providing the Kaspa Slide Deck used in the presentation and encouraged support for the Community Marketing Fund
