Bittensor. The majority of people in the cryptospace seem to overdemand yet underappreciate *genuine* ecosystem/token-utility. It not only legitimizes the fundamental aspects of a project like Bittensor but more so offers adopters a task, mission & incentive to deep dive into the utility and value of said ecosystem. Furthermore it distracts people from getting fidgety over insignificant factors like short-term price fluctuations, noise & high volatility. Bittensor essentially forces people to open up their mind to the underlying value it withholds.
This focus shifts attention from silly price targets & encourages intrinsic, value-driven engagement. Bittensor forces us to consider the underlying value rather than chasing the good ol' “number go up". Especially since the introduction of dTao.
People have woken up to the idea of Bittensor driving innovation similar to the magnitude of the likes as Ethereum and Bitcoin all those years ago.
The defining factor behind genuine innovation is the solving of intrinsically important problems that NEED solutions. The link drawn to Bitcoin and Ethereum is not to diminish their value propositions but rather to draw parallels & key alignment factors.
$TAO, $ETH & $BTC don't compete or intersect on a fundamental level. They share the same capitalistic market, yet all operate in entirely different dimensions. None of which are better or worse. They're simply different. All they do is sharing the insatiable craving for value.
Bitcoin -> Decentralized store of value
Ethereum -> Decentralized operating system
Bittensor:
-> Decentralized commoditization of intelligence.
-> Decentralized market place for intelligence.
-> Decentralized store of intelligence.
Really "anything goes" as some like to say.
While everyone and their mothers cry for token/project utility on a theoretic surface level, they rarely specify on what this utility they wish for is supposed to consist of. Dynamic Tao forces adopters/investors to dig for projects/teams that actually intrinsically contribute to the Bittensor network and therefore punishes opportunistic con-artists trying to exploit the underlying system.
In a paradox way, these malicious actors actually contribute plenty to field-test & battle-harden the network, which is a trial no upcoming project can, nor should duck from. It legitimizes the whole concept, which should be welcomed rather than feared by anyone holding intrinsic conviction in Bittensor. Cr3 & dTao already prove to fight weight copiers and dead weight in terms of providing intelligence which ultimately is the core functionality behind Bittensor.
It's easy to miss the forest for all those trees. I also do understand skepticism from Bitcoin/Ethereum maximalist rows, which have seen a lot of emerging, world promising projects come and go over the years. While it is important to be skeptic of new and shiny new comers, the goal consists of being on the same page when it comes to fair, productive & non extractive innovation in the decentralized cryptocurrency space we all participate in on a daily basis - plenty of us for years by now.
It's become a passion to be on the look for fundamental value and most importantly adding to it at the best of each of our capabilities. Some might objectively offer more than others, yet everyone has something.
So as always, I don't make the rules.
You already know the Ticker;)

I love the push towards private AI, but a seperate source of freedom will be truly public AI, i.e. a world where the majority of AI trajectories are searchable, and thus minable for us to improve, understand and monitor intelligence -- not just the central labs.

Very novel approach for mechanism design from 91.
Most training subnets have miners submit model weights. Cascade #sn91 doesn't.
Every submission trains the same 4M-parameter model from scratch, with the same seeds and the same compute budget. The only thing a miner submits is a data generator.
So the thing you compete on is the training data.

An extractor left, the mechanism stays.
The naked man fears no pickpocket.
The incentive layer is inevitably being battle hardened, which is a necessity for it to achieve its purest democratized access to permissionless & decentralized intelligence.
The collective effort & relentless willpower of all individuals within bittensor are what defines it.
No amount of tyranny, pettiness & greed displayed by any single bad actor could ever tear us down, as long as we hold true to the Bittensor vision.
It’s a gift for the network to have been given an opportunity to prove itself & hedge against future storms already awaiting on the horizon.
Sam will leave nothing but a chink in the armor & a charlatan to taunt.
I’m without a doubt certain that @const_reborn is entirely aligned with the well being of the network.
I couldn’t imagine having to deal with the enormous burden that comes with having to make decisions regarding circumstances that everyone has an opinion on but very few actually understand.
All while trying to allow Bittensor to reach its fullest potential. Constantly being bitten from all directions.
Thank you for your sacrifice.
Tao of a million symmetries.
Bittensor.

The immense impatience with something as noble as Bittensor's "Yuma Consensus" is what truly boggles my mind.
Satoshi himself was worried about wikileaks using BTC to accept donations in 2013. Scared, to be poking the hornets nest. Potentially leading to Bitcoins demise in its infancy.
Bittensor finds itself at an eerily similar position. A unique, complex yet desperately needed solution against centralized tech giants. Doubted by many, understood by few.
Trust is earned, therefore doubt is justified.
There are hurdles to overcome and riddles to be solved in order for Bittensor to achieve its vision as an all out "Peer to peer intelligence market".
People act as if Bittensor had to be a bulletproof, flawless & omni-efficient protocol at the time of writing for it to hold intrinsic value.
Is Bittensor living up to its full potential a guaranteed bet?
By no means.
Because if it was, it would be at an deca-billion dollar evaluation already.
Price tomorrow? Unsure.
1 $TAO? Always 1 $TAO.
remember pre $dtao, when the community was entirely united under native $TAO?
we must not forget that even tho we've partially split ways and gone different routes within the bittensor ecosystem, we're still pulling the same rope.
It's like a startup that evolved into a cooperate titan.
Head of accounting & head of marketing used to share the same desk & now they're directing entirely split agencies. Still under the same roof of the company.
It's getting heated since pvp was introduced, but no matter how you put it, we're all pushing t.
No one likes losing & thus we might have gotten a little bit into each other's hair.
I feel like it's fatally overlooked how much more conviction dtao injected, due to everyone being forced to actually dig deep into what's being built.
If anyone doubted whether Bittensor or not, the question is now theoretical at best.
$dtao has built a lot of tao maxis due to them realizing nothing comes even remotely close to BTT in the crypto sector. Entire top 100 crypto projects would not even make a competitive subnet.
It's easy to lose sight of the forest among all those trees.
The support within the eco is simply astonishing. Try fetching vitalik a dm on tg and see if he'd take time for that. @const_reborn very well will.
Also devs like @Rhef_12 & @KibibyteMe who actually take notice of tiny inquiries regarding bugs & doing their best to assist, must not to be taken for granted.
Special shoutout to honest valis like @21RoundTable that never quit, even tho getting massively grifted by WC valis.
Educational content like @TAOTemplar is also nowhere to be seen beyond bittensor regarding the crypto space. I wonder why.
Real non crypto native teams that aren't scared off by the toxic label crypto holds so proudly, further implicating and establishing bittensor beyond just crypto.
@opentensor didn't create $TAO to simply fund themselves or because a token is a cheeky way to sell stake in "software products", but because decentralized incentivization of intelligence needs a trustless metric to spin the capitalistic wheel of our world. Capitalism 2.0.
Bittensor is genuinely not just another cryptocurrency & will evolve into forms which many don't even dare to imagine at this point.
Time will tell and i'm confident it will be violent.

hey @const_reborn,
you love preaching "scam until proven otherwise". You're painfully skeptical of any new launches, ESPECIALLY when there has been no release of code/github/alignment etc.
Please, bring us up to speed why it was necessary to hype fuel SN39 BEFORE they launched on monday.
What was the strategic need to donate and vouch the subnet, before it can be inspected by the public? We all know that you were aware of the implications of this action. Essentially indirectly forcing people to blindly ape a subnet as the prisoners dilemma kicks in.
It is your good right to do whatever you seem fit, yet i cannot wrap my head around your strict policy regarding unknowns/unreleased code if once it has been made by one of your guys, it's fine to hype it up like that.
It's not whether about SN39 will be a scam or not, it won't be, yet you're going against the same principle + ideology you always hold on such high morals.
TL;DR
Why couldn't you have waited until the subnet officially launched, released code + github & then vouch it afterwards with personal/OTF funds + the church hype talk.
To me this simply does not add up. Not saying it's fishy or fraudulent, yet maybe you should reconsider your harsh stances on other unlaunched subs. If you keep preaching "scam until proven otherwise" yet don't abide by that law, it does not feel or seem convincing.
I'm sure YOU'VE seen what they're gonna build on 39, but how is that fair to anyone else?
I hate to be the party pooper, but you're being rightfully held to a higher standard and thus should at least be consistent in your words & actions.

Sentiment on dtao is moving in waves. Alpha evaluations are up -> tech gud/dtao is working as intended. Alpha priced down -> can the devs do something?
It was the same situation as when everbody was concerned about SN / TAO ratio being „coded“ to converge to 1:1. Prices pumped & suddenly no one seemed to bother anymore. Hm, odd.
Now people call for Root % slicing? Why? Because they’re overinvested, put in too much, too early? You‘re no better than the BTC maxis, who suddenly get excited, just because centeralized entities start talking about pumping their bags. I‘m balls deep in dtao & yet the thought of root needing to be cut never crossed my mind. dTao APY is bonkers & if you hold value alpha you should not be worried in the mid to long term.
Would i personally benefit from sliced root APY? Massively. Would I objectively vote for it? No. People should not be forced to risk TAO. This is not a casino (debateable). If the market grants it, let whales sit in root. Grow up and stop looking for const to pump your underwater bags. He’s not powell. People want decentralization until they don’t.
Stacking RAO.
