Customer AUM grew approx 4.5% WoW (about 20% MoM if made monthly). Making me wonder if CT even matters.

> Updated PFP to me. Not hiding, even behind a cute Pudgy. > Email dropped on KPUs, so the “horse sh*t word salad” is cleared up. > The calendar to Xmas is action packed with product updates (details coming). “Shut up and ship”. > Interestingly (if you care), we saw no change in product usage. Customer AUM kept growing strongly the last three days. > Over $10M in USD cashback given since April, when we switched from points/tokens to primarily cash. > KAST Business is growing nearly 100% MoM (albeit, from a small base). Hot take, it will be on par with consumer by end of 2027. > Record high numbers of people are now multi-product on KAST. > No token, means no easy liquidity for the team or investors, everyone locked 🔒 and aligned. > Never sold anything myself. I actually bought shares this year from earlier investors. > High conviction we did the right thing by setting aside options, and setting up the SPV for the community. > Finally: Empathise with those wanting a fast cash out / airdrop; the economic pain people are suffering with multi-decade high rates and inflation is real. But I must make decisions for the long term. > Willing to take the short term pain, hate, and multiple death threats. We fled a war zone in Sri Lanka to move to Australia when I was 5, I worked in our family shop since I was 8yo. Grew up with nothing. Failed plenty of time’s myself. I can endure anything you throw at me. TLDR - We keep building, and delivering products global citizens need. The parties are a bit of fun. Life can’t all be too serious. Good marketing in times of the attention economy. But the financial platform that is @KASTxyz and @KASTbusiness is the main game. Back to the grind. Peace out ✌🏾
