From Const this morning. Great news IMO. bittensor:native
"Hello @everyone in the Bittensor family.
Public service announcement: Starting next week we will be introducing an interim measure to block emissions on Bittensor subnets which are engaging in active foul play and or with no clear path to adding value into the Bittensor ecosystem.
This will need to be done on a case-by-case basis, however the criteria for blocked emissions will revolve around the following:
1) Long-term burning of 100% miner emissions with no plan from the team to bring them online.
2) Active self-mining i.e. subnets that do not have code and instead use stake weight to pass emissions to their own keys.
3) Dead or fully abandoned subnets, or those that have not announced themselves i.e. "unclaimed" subnets.
4) Subnets engaged in TaoFlow exploitation, such as 104, which have very little to no chain activity from the network at large. A chain operation to block emission will be available on Tuesday to carry this out. Note this not a long term solution, as further protocol upgrades such as conviction, shorting, and the eventual full decentralized governance system of Bittensor will be coming into play this year -- these methods will allow much more organic and swarm based intelligence to organize Bittensor's emission vector.
In the near term, I believe that there is broad support and consensus for this activity as it will drive more value towards subnets on Bittensor (you know who you are) that are pushing forward a decentralized vision for artificial intelligence.
Thank you everyone Much love
- Const"
What Happens When Oil Hits $200 A Barrel?
“My major fear is that we will be thrown off the world reserve currency. I don’t know what that means for us, but I know it’s not going to be good. That’s the end of the road. When they stop using the dollar to exchange oil, it lowers the value of the dollar, which means we can buy less, and prices are going to be even higher.”

🚨 CRYPTO CIVIL WAR JUST WENT NUCLEAR! 😱
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS #Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse over the new CLARITY Act!
He claims it's a secret giveaway that makes every new blockchain project a security by default… while handing Ripple a massive exemption to crush all competition and slap unlimited liability on open-source devs!
"They're trying to pass a bill that f*cks the entire ecosystem while they get protected!"
Hoskinson is HOLDING HIM ACCOUNTABLE and crypto Twitter is LOSING IT 🔥
Is Ripple selling out the industry for their own gain? 👀
Watch the FULL explosive rant BEFORE it gets buried 👇
Just watched the new @hellmoneypod. @rodarmor and @realizingerin accurately identified the exact existential threat facing Bitcoin: Miners are getting completely screwed.
If fees don't replace the halving block rewards, miners leave. If miners leave, the hard money thesis dies. 🧵

Casey, your frustration with the BIP editors blocking innovation is valid, but you are asking for permission from the wrong people.
We don't need Bitcoin Core to save the miners. The physical network is already saving itself.

Enter Digital Matter Theory (DMT) and $NAT.
$NAT is not an arbitrary token. It is a protocol-layer asset derived directly from the Bitcoin block data. It acts as the "Second Subsidy" - a programmable economic baseline built specifically to ensure the mining game remains profitable.
3/
You said "the mining game will be not worth it."
Here is the mathematical reality you are missing: 65% of the global SHA-256 hashrate is ALREADY interacting with the @tap_protocol and the $NAT standard. We are talking about the absolute heavyweights: @AntPoolofficial@SpiderPool_com, @f2pool, and @ViaBTC.
4/
This isn't just theoretical support; it is active, on-chain economic reality.
@AntPoolofficial is already moving their $NAT and actively selling it on @ordinalswallet. The biggest pools on the planet aren't waiting for the devs to save them. They are adopting the asset to secure their own margins.
5/
Ordinals proved Bitcoin could hold immutable data. $NAT proves that data can be utilized as a physics-backed asset to economically secure the miners for the next 10,000 years.
Capital follows the hash, and the hash has already chosen its survival mechanism.
6/
If you want to contribute exactly where Bitcoin needs it the most right now - saving the miner economics before the 2028 cliff - you need to look at the on-chain data.
Bring @theblockrunner on the next @hellmoneypod.
It's time to talk about the real solution. ⛏️🔥

I honestly do not think there is a ceiling here.
These are AI companies being built in a decentralized environment that rewards miners for intelligence.
Billions in value for each may end up being an understatement. #Bittensor#TAO
