By far one of my favourite subnets on Bittensor bittensor:native
Beam @b1m_ai is an absolute sleeper.
Check this article out if you want more detail on how they can strategically use the Bittensor incentive mechanism to revolutionize the bandwidth industry.
Eat shit scammers, freeloaders & extractors
This is what I'm talking about.. no more free food for these meat wallets
Another thing.. directly and publicly to you @const_reborn
Don't change.. don't relent.. don't pacify.. don't feel you need to reign shit in..
Be expressive.. be controversial.. be aggressive.. be combative.. be outspoken
You care more about this mission more than everyone.. if you take away that fire that burns inside.. #Bittensor will be worst for it
Fuck what everyone else thinks.. you know what is needed
Keep swinging
$TAO
THREAD:
Probably just talking to myself mostly but for those who read this hopefully it provides so thoughtful insight on what Is currently taking place with @cypherpunk .
Currently I think were in a 3 phase process. And I think the market is misunderstanding what’s happening
What most ignore when it comes to $TAO is the asymmetric upside potential within subnets, nowhere else in crypto can your money multiply from 2 separate sources. A 5x in $TAO price and a 10x on a subnet is a 50x multiple. Nowhere else is this possible. Study $TAO study Subnets.
The founder of @taostats, @mogmachine was buying TAO at $12.
He's co-founded 6 subnets, built the wallet, the explorer, the mobile app. Runs one of the largest validators on Bittensor.
He rarely does interviews.
We sat down and he told the full story. From the bear market to building the backbone of a $3B network.
What he shared:
• How he found Bittensor in late 2022 while running nodes at the bottom of the bear market
• Started TaoStats as a Google spreadsheet. Turned it into the most used product in the ecosystem
• Jacob from OTF personally asked him to build the blockchain explorer. He'd never built one before
• Co-founded 6 subnets. Shut down the ones that weren't working. Kept the ones that were
• Built Corcel, the first API gateway to Bittensor's AI
• Just launched the TaoStats wallet and mobile app. Wants to be the single interaction layer for everything on Bittensor
• His take on why only about 20-30 of 128 subnets are "real quality"
• Says next year is "the era of bizdev" for subnets
The line that stuck with me.
He said you don't know HTTP because of HTTP. You know Google. You don't know TCP/IP because of TCP/IP. You know Netflix.
That's where Bittensor is going. The subnets become the brands. The protocol disappears into the background.
These aren't side projects. These are actual AI companies being built.
🚨 Many might not know but $TAO has an incredible Chinese community, many are going crazy over this post (has huge views), but English-speaking $TAO holders mostly haven’t seen it yet. However, $TAO is from the East.
Mac users just got their GOLDEN PASS into Bittensor 🎫
Subnet 9 @IOTA_SN9 by @MacrocosmosAI with Train at Home a stupidly easy Mac app that turns your Apple Silicon machine into a real decentralized AI trainer.
✅ Download the official app
✅ Connect your Bittensor wallet
✅ Your Mac starts contributing to LLM pre-training
✅ You earn SN9 alpha tokens automatically (which interact directly with $TAO emissions)
This is mass onboarding. Not just another miner, this is how you get millions of everyday computers into the Bittensor swarm.
More distributed compute = stronger models, healthier subnets, and real utility for $TAO.

Pro tip from @cryptoresetlife: When the app asks for a wallet, select the SECOND option and enter your own address (first one donates your compute to the project).
Who else is firing up their MacBook?
This is the kind of accessibility play that actually grows the network. Not revolutionary by itself, but cumulatively HUGE for $TAO’s long-term value.
#IOTA #SN9
It’s 2026 and people won’t read.
It has never been easier to win.
I’ve spent the last 7 months studying Bittensor $TAO
I wake up everyday pinching myself and double checking that my thesis is right.
Genuinely can’t believe this opportunity is presenting itself through all the chaos we’ve been through in the first 2.5 months of 2026.
Literally all I’ve been doing is reading and watching YouTube videos…
There is no excuse anymore.
Lazy people are at an ATH headcount.
It’s so fascinating to me.
What is Bittensor $TAO?
A simple, non-technical explanation for anyone.

6:33 How Bittensor Wins
Lot of $TAO sloshing around in Bittensor subnets right now. 10% swings are common even in the deepest pools. Be careful chasing. Don’t forget apy covers for many suboptimal moves but that takes time. Let the protocol work for you.
