This is why context matters so much for the Kaspa community. Without context, people say things like "Kaspa invented everything" or "Kaspa is just faster Bitcoin" or "Kaspa is a Solana clone." All three are bad explanations. With context, the picture gets sharper. Bitcoin explains the monetary and PoW roots. Ethereum explains much of the research environment around smart contracts, scaling, and zk. Solana explains how strongly the market now values performance and smooth app experience. Kaspa sits inside that larger story as a specific attempt to keep PoW, improve the consensus layer, and add bounded, proof-oriented programmability without copying the whole Ethereum model.
