Bitcoin had miners. They built $2.2T+ of value.
Ethereum had miners, then stakers. They built $570B & Growing….
$TAO has Miners + Stakers + Validators + Subnet Owners.
What Most Don’t Understand (Yet):
Layer 1: MINERS
- Provide actual AI compute
- Run models, fold proteins, solve problems
- Get paid for USEFUL WORK (not just hashing)
Layer 2: STAKERS (Validators)
- Direct capital to quality
- Ensure miners aren’t cheating
- Earn from picking winners
Layer 3: SUBNET OWNERS
- Build the actual AI products
- Set the rules and incentives
- Become the “companies” without incorporation
Brilliant Part:
Every participant has skin in the game. Even the users and regular stakers.
- Miners want good subnets to mine on
- Stakers want profitable subnets to validate
- Owners want the best miners and validators
The inevitable result: Everyone becomes the marketing department.
Now Imagine tomorrow: Every GPU on Earth realizes they can earn more on Bittensor than anywhere else.
Not a “data center.” IT’S EVERY DATA CENTER.
- No borders
- No permission
- No AWS bills
- No corporate control
- Just pure computational capitalism
Bitcoin: “We secured money”
Ethereum: “We secured computation”
Bittensor: “We secured intelligence itself”
The wars won’t be fought over data centers. They’ll be fought over who can provide the best incentive mechanisms.
$TAO isn’t competing with tech companies.
It’s becoming the economic law they’ll all operate under.
Bittensor is the most sophisticated system hiding in plain sight. Infinite scale. Zero permission.
