$TAO is the Bitcoin of AI.

[Tyler DurdΞth @tylerdurdeth]

“But Bittensor’s subnets could get shut down by governments too!”

Wrong. The code is open source, the competition is decentralised, the miners are scattered all around the world and anonymous.

The companies operating them could be shut down, but all it would take is flying to a friendly jurisdiction with your subnet key in your head (or wallet), and you can pick it up where you left it.

For instance, @chutes_ai is perhaps the only scaled inference provider in the world whose GPUs can’t be switched off by a government entity. Let that sink in.

It is too complex for most people to get it now. But more will do the work, and like the BTC they will eventually get it.

$TAO

[Shizzy @ShizzyUnchained]

Bittensor is on an absolute tear right now.

TAO is up almost 40 percent off the lows right after having its Anthropic moment, and people still do not understand how big this setup could get.

Bitcoin had Cyprus in 2013.

Banks froze access, people woke up, and BTC went from around $47 to $266 in about 3 weeks.

That was the moment decentralized money made sense.

Now Bittensor is having its moment with AI.

The government can restrict access to intelligence, centralized labs can gate the models, and suddenly decentralized AI stops sounding like a niche crypto idea.

It starts sounding necessary.

bittensor:native already had its halving last year.

Now it has the narrative shock.

I think people are waking up to Bittensor now, and this move could be way bigger then most are ready for.

Cyprus showed why Bitcoin mattered.

Anthropic might show why Bittensor matters.

[Tyler DurdΞth @tylerdurdeth]

The market is gonna look for a way to react to that earth-shattering news by Anthropic, and I can’t think of a better liquid asset to do so than $TAO.

You don’t need to overthink it.

[Crypto Alex 💎 @Alex_CryptoKing]

Now everyone will understand why $TAO is the chosen one for the Top 10. ✍️

Decentralized AI Infrastructure. You will see and feel on why that matters.

It’s starting already.

It was same with BTC and Money.
Now it’s TAO and AI Technology without government control.

[Algod @AlgodTrading]

#bitcoin spawned after the crisis of 2008, now there will be many projects spawned in response to centralised Ai lab

Arguably this battle is far more important than a currency, exciting times ahead

[𝗗𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗢 @DreadBong0]

The US Government has given #Bittensor the best endorsement it could ever ask for

They proved the entire thesis for why we need permissionless and decentralised AI

Anthropic were forced by the Government to suspend access to Fable and Mythos models for any foreign nationals..

It doesn't matter what you think of Anthropic morals.. what the Governments reasons were.. whether the model was dangerous or not..

The point is.. Closed AI can be switched off

We’ve been banging this drum in #bittensor for four years now

If frontier intelligence can be restricted.. it will be restricted.. If access can be gatekept.. it will 100% be gatekept

If a small group of powerful men and women can decide who gets intelligence and who doesn’t.. they will absolutely use that power

This is exactly why bittensor:native matters

Intelligence is just too important to have it sit behind permissioned walls controlled by governments and corporations

#Bittensor is the fight against this.. Open.. permissionless.. incentivised

True open intelligence built by the people.. for the good of the people

This Anthropic news is proof that those fears are no longer theoretical..

This shit is real.. the door just got slammed

The pure reason #bittensor exists.. is so the world has another one to walk through

BITTENSOR RALLIES ON AI POLICY SHIFT

Bittensor $TAO jumped 17% as the U.S. moves to suspend foreign access to Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

Investors see the restrictions as a boost for decentralized AI networks like Bittensor, which aren’t dependent on a single company or government approval.

[Barry Silbert @BarrySilbert]

Unstoppable, uncensorable, global decentralized AI seems like a good investment bet to make. The “Bitcoin of AI” so to say…

[Openτensor Foundaτion @opentensor]

Access to intelligence should not depend on a handful of companies or governments.

This is why open, decentralized, permissionless AI matters.

This is why Bittensor matters.

$PUDGYSTR has an excellent setup. Here are some facts to substantiate this claim.

PUDGYSTR, the TokenWorks strategy token for Pudgy Penguins NFTs, benefits from the ecosystem's flywheel (NFT buys/sells funding burns) and tied catalysts driving $PENGU and NFT demand. Here's a summary of the most impactful upcoming ones in Q4 2025:

PENGU ETF Decision (October 12, 2025): SEC ruling on the Canary PENGU ETF (80-95% tokens + NFT shares) could unlock institutional inflows, validating the hybrid model and sparking 50-150% price surges across the ecosystem—directly boosting PUDGYSTR burns via higher NFT floors.

Abstract Chain Launch & Airdrops (Q4 2025): Token generation event (TGE) on Pudgy's L2 chain, with airdrops/rewards for holders (e.g., $31K-$61K per holder in ETH equivalent); owning Pudgy NFTs/PENGU unlocks eligibility, fueling accumulation and flywheel activation.

OKX PENGU Airdrop Event (Ends October 9, 2025): Users can earn/share 81M PENGU via subscriptions/KYC, driving token demand and indirect PUDGYSTR exposure through ecosystem hype.

Global Brand & Merch Expansions (Q4 2025): Partnerships like Suplay Inc., Japanese 7-Eleven retail, and new merchandise/toys; plus Pudgy Party Web3 gaming tournament and Pudgy World launch, enhancing IP utility and NFT value for strategy buys.

NFT Treasury Buybacks & Flywheel (Ongoing Q4): Protocol holds ~28 Pudgy NFTs (~210 ETH/$907K value) for low-floor buys; a 20% floor rise could trigger ~$1M in burns (11.6% supply wipeout), amplified by 2-3 major Pudgy announcements.

These cluster in October, potentially 3-5x PUDGYSTR amid NFT meta resurgence—monitor ETF outcome as the pivotal trigger.

$PUDGYSTR @pudgypenguins @pudgystr @token_works $PNKSTR

[PudgyStrategy @0xpudgystr]

12,6 / 60
Pudgy share is 21% of Punks share
So with $PNKSTR market cap at 150M we should have 31.5M market cap for $PUDGYSTR

Right?)

1/ Thread on what I think it’s one of the most under-the-radar projects in the market: $FLOCK 🧵

>> @flock_io became the first & only decentralized AI integrated by @Alibaba_Qwen, Alibaba’s LLM (the GPT to OpenAI, the Claude to Anthropic).

This is not an empty partnership, like Flock simply using Alibaba Cloud or integrating Qwen models.

Instead, Qwen is building models and training on Flock’s infrastructure for decentralized privacy-first AI.

Some alpha:

>> Qwen’s 2.5 on-edge version is being trained with FLock, and will sell directly to industry use cases, like hospitals, financial institutions, and other sectors where data privacy is of outmost importance.

In their own words: "This marks the first deployment of a decentralized AI agent model within a major centralized AI ecosystem".

[Bobby Thakkar @BobbyThakkar]

We're currently working on our first 5 launches coming out before the end of September. Here's a sneak peak:

Piggy → Social Savings app built on Morpho
Figmint → Design files coined onchain
Scratch → Daily scratchers built around your friends
Fypm → Money requests w/ interest
ZoraRadar V2 → Native trading within Telegram

[Res @resdegen]

$FLOCK listed on @coinbase now.

One day after being announced as United Nations’ AI strategic partner.

Huge disconnect between market caps of Flock and the league where they play.

🧵Nerding out on $DIEM valuation...

$VVV and $DIEM form what I believe is a novel token mechanism: a range-bound asset (DIEM) minted from and melting back into an underlying non-range-bound token (VVV)

$VVV's price can go anywhere, but $DIEM's should not; it should exist within a "range". Why is that, and what is this range?
