Proof of Work $BTC vs Proof of Useful Work $TAO
Read Time:31 Second

SUMMARY: The video contrasts Bitcoin’s Proof of Work, which secures the network through massive but single-purpose computational effort, with Bittensor’s Proof of Useful Work, where compute is incentivized toward economically valuable tasks like AI predictions and data services. While Bitcoin optimizes for security via hash power, Bittensor channels incentives into subnet-specific work such as cloud storage and weather forecasting, producing direct real-world utility. The piece highlights Bittensor’s subnet interoperability as a key advantage, enabling shared compute resources that dramatically cut costs and unlock more scalable, competitive applications.
