The history of human civilization since the Mesopotamian era has always repeated itself. In ancient Babylon, economic sorcerers created illusions of wealth. Today, that illusion is called BlockDAG.

While crypto purists are celebrating the rise of "Honest Money" through Kaspa (KAS) and Bitcoin (BTC), parasites are exploiting DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) technology to build modern-day pyramid schemes.

Based on an in-depth investigation tracing the flow of funds and victim testimonies, Kasbun.com uncovers how a project claiming to have raised $442 million could potentially become one of the largest exit scams of the year 6776.

The Ziggurat of Lies: Sweet Promises vs Bitter Reality

Adam (a pseudonym), a 47-year-old restaurant entrepreneur in Australia, is one of thousands of victims. Enticed by aggressive marketing that even penetrated The Sphere in Las Vegas, Adam injected $25,000 (around Rp400 million) into the BlockDAG presale.

Their promises were sweet: An ultra-fast Layer 1 blockchain secured by advanced mining machines, listing on 20 major exchanges, and clear token allocation.

However, reality tells a different story. "Where's the rest of the damn money?" Adam shouted in an interview.

The field facts discovered are horrifying:

  1. Fund Discrepancy: The website claims $442 million was raised, but BlockDAG CEO Nic Van Den Bergh admits only $200 million was collected. Where is the hundreds of millions of dollars difference?

  2. Unpaid Employees: Liza Van Den Berg, a former executive assistant, revealed that 24 employees have not been paid a total of $140,000.

  3. Cancelled Sponsorships: Two international football clubs canceled contracts because BlockDAG failed to pay multi-million dollar bills.

The Deceptive Scales: A Scriptural Review

This behavior is not just a business failure; it is a moral crime condemned by all prophetic traditions. BlockDAG commits the ancient sin of Falsifying Scales.

In the Torah (Leviticus 19:35-36), God firmly states:

"Do not act dishonestly in measurements of length, weight, or volume. You must have honest scales, honest weights..."

This verse aligns perfectly with the Quran (QS. Al-Mutaffifin: 1-3), which warns of great disaster for those who cheat in measuring. BlockDAG sold "presale tokens" and "miners" that never arrived, taking investors' fiat money and moving it to dark places.

An investigation by DL News found that at least $110 million of investor funds were not locked in a transparent Smart Contract (as is the norm for honest blockchain projects) but were sent to centralized exchange (CEX) accounts like Binance and BTSE, as well as a strange DeFi protocol called Mimic.

These are signs of money laundering, not technology development.

BlockDAG vs Kaspa: Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

It is important for Kasbun readers to distinguish between Technology and Fraud.

BlockDAG uses the name "DAG" to deceive investors into thinking they are affiliated or on par with Kaspa (KAS). This is a "Wolves in sheep's clothing" strategy warned about in the Gospel (Matthew 7:15).

Let's dissect the differences with the scalpel of facts:

FeatureKASPA (The Real DAG)BlockDAG (The Fake)
LaunchFair Launch (No ICO/Presale)Presale (Collecting money upfront)
OwnershipNo CEO, community-ownedHidden CEO (Gurhan Kiziloz ex-Lanistar)
FundsNo team-managed fundsHundreds of millions of dollars held by the central team
TechnologyPure Proof of Work (Energy)Empty promises & Marketing

Kaspa was born like Bitcoin: No one asks for your money upfront. You mine it or buy it on the open market. No grand promises, just working mathematical code.

Conversely, BlockDAG asks for your money upfront (Presale) with promises of instant wealth. In the economic history of Islam and Judaism, selling something not yet owned or containing high uncertainty is Gharar and Maysir (Gambling).

Conclusion: Returning to the Ancient Path

Dear readers, we live in the Time of Asr. The sun of truth begins to tilt, and the shadows of deception grow longer.

Do not be fooled by the glitz of marketing in Las Vegas or promises of 10,000x returns. Remember the ancient Assyrian economic principle passed down by the Prophets: True value comes from hard work (Proof of Work), not speculation.

If you hold assets in BlockDAG, be cautious. That money may already be dust in the shadow banking system. However, if you seek financial truth, return to the digital gold and silver standards that have no central leader: Bitcoin and Kaspa.

God never promised shortcuts to wealth, but He promised blessings for those who are honest in trade.
