Michael bought $TAO at $5 back in 2022 & created a fund afterward to invest into Bittensor

I had @here4impact on to break down

>pain points beginners should understand
>how he found TAO
>new changes coming to TAO
>Michael's portfolio strategy & risk buckets

[Jesus Martinez @JesusMartinez]

The $TAO ecosystem has this to learn from @solana:

Simplicity & Access

These two words have created the most successful retail chain of all time.

[Jesus Martinez @JesusMartinez]

Marcus has been a central part of $TAO for some time

@mogmachine runs a LOT of businesses, subnets & because of AI agents he's able to do it without compromising quality

It was very fascinating to me, so I wanted to have a chat about it! ⏬

Is Mining Bittensor More Profitable Than Bitcoin?

@markjeffrey thinks some miners have concluded it is

"The Bitcoin Miners Are Coming To Us"

[Jesus Martinez @JesusMartinez]

I sat down w/ @markjeffrey, partner at @stillcorecap to chat $TAO

>There's an insane shortage of chips, memory for AI
>Why Mark would rather own Bittensor than big AI stocks
>The new subnets Stillcore is investing into

[Jesus Martinez @JesusMartinez]

RESI might be one of the clearest real-world Bittensor use cases I’ve seen.

I sat down with @sebyrubino from @resilabsai to talk how Subnet 46 is using AI to price real estate, compete with Zillow-style models, and build toward on-chain real estate finance.

Siam Kidd breaks down his framework for finding the next "Growing Mountain" in tech:

“From 2013 onwards, crypto was the fastest-growing industry ever” “I look for massive growing mountains and the virgin ecosystems where you’re going to see crazy growth.”

We’ve seen this play out with the internet and the App Store. Now, the next mountain is being built at the intersection of AI and decentralization.

The smartest capital is already moving into the next virgin ecosystem.

Jon Durbin explains why the biggest bottleneck in AI isn't capital it’s physical infrastructure:

“The main thing right now isn't necessarily money. It's just availability of power and chips. 50% of data center projects have either halted or been canceled.”

While the market focuses on valuations, the real battle is being fought over power grids and chip allocations. Without a decentralized bridge, the high cost of centralized compute is becoming a wall for new labs.

The AI arms race is officially hitting the physical limits of our world.

Rob Greer explains why Bittensor ($TAO) is the neutral powerhouse in the AI arms race between the US and China:

“I don’t think France or Germany is gonna want to run on Anthropic with their personal data... and I don’t think they’re gonna want to run on DeepSeek with a backdoor to Xi Jinping.”

As the world splits into two spheres of influence, the gap for a decentralized, neutral AI layer becomes undeniable. Rob breaks down how TAO fills this void not just with compute and inference, but with the models themselves via subnets like Templar and IOTA.

For nations that value data sovereignty, the future of AI isn't just about power it's about neutrality.

Bittensor is positioning itself to be the global, open-source standard that no single government can control.

[The Attention Cycle @attentioncycle]

Rob Greer explains why Bittensor ($TAO) is the "Bitcoin of AI" and how it’s attracting institutional capital:

“We want to decentralize intelligence. We want to commoditize intelligence. It’s like AI for the people, built by the people, and owned by the people.”

Rob breaks down the thesis for Stillcore Capital building an institutional bridge where trillions in AI investment can funnel into decentralized networks.

While retail focuses on the narrative, institutions are looking at the tokenomic design and the potential for TAO to become the "Bitcoin of AI."

Bittensor isn't just a philosophical play; it’s a capitalist opportunity for family offices and sovereign wealth funds to bet on the future of intelligence.

[The Attention Cycle @attentioncycle]

Rob Greer says the market is completely mispricing the future of Decentralized AI:

“The market is not pricing in the possibility that decentralized AI is gonna play a big role. This is really just an information asymmetry play.”

OpenAI and other corporate labs are likely to build subnets on top of Bittensor (TAO) in the coming years. If TAO becomes even a minor player in the global AI category, it’s a hundreds of billions of dollars market cap opportunity.

Crypto moves differently than stocks. It takes much less money to move the needle here.
