TAO Time Traveler

@Onair58 @RVanDijk895620 @BeauErvenDorens Ik heb geen idee waar en over wie deze hele thread gaat.

@RVanDijk895620 @BeauErvenDorens Ja over het algemeen wel. Alleen @BeauErvenDorens speelt op tv een rol. Zodra hij zichzelf is ( en dat was hij tijdens het interview) komt er een eigenwijze vervelende man onder vandaan.

Hier stopte mijn sympathie voor @BeauErvenDorens . Op cruciale momenten gaat hij af als een gieter. Dit interview is onvergeeflijk. Bob had hier volkomen gelijk.

@bryan_johnson Brian, your work is redefining longevity through biology. One area worth exploring is the research around Dr. Joe Dispenza and UC San Diego on how intensive meditation may influence inflammation, stress biology, and immune function. youtu.be/KiUbytQOnkA?is…

Getting diagnosed with an incurable disease is the best thing to happen to me in a long time. My project shifted overnight from longevity staples to disease resolution and frontier biotech. We have so many awesome things cooking.

@DreadBong0 Thanks for this appreciate it.

I realised I was being subconsciously incentivised to ignore aspects of a projects drawbacks due to the nature of certain things.. I genuinely thought I could take an early round allocation.. an OTC deal.. a call with a founder.. and still judge the project completely objectively You think you can still be impartial but when those incentives hang over your head.. I honestly don't think its possible So much shit affects your judgement.. access does, money does, feeling important does, having a personal relationship with founders does.. I think you start giving people more benefit of the doubt than you should and you start overlooking things that you should absolutely be bothered by Like a red flag is more of a yellow one because you like the team.. or you've been given an opportunity that feels somewhat exclusive I always thought I had good intentions in the past but I was 100% corrupted by those temptations due to those incentives.. even if I didn't think I was So I completely cut myself off from any form of deal flow or temptations at all.. I stopped taking early rounds.. I stopped doing OTC shit.. I stopped having meetings and calls with people in this space.. Because I knew how easy it was to have conversations turn to opportunities or introductions from those looking to exploit this account for publicity and marketing I made sure none of that shit was no longer an option and I don't entertain a single thing that comes across my desk now I’ve had founders and CEOs ask to meet me personally.. including people I respect a lot.. but I just think that proximity clouds your judgement Once you like someone.. and begin to understand their struggles and once you feel connected to their mission.. it becomes so much harder to separate that person from your investment And it becomes way harder to be critical of anything they do or the project does wrong I don't go to conferences or meets for the same reason.. Because no one really wants to know me for me.. they just want to get close because they want me to start talking about their shit on this account because of the followers it has So now.. I just sit in my office on my own and research things without speaking to anyone involved really No calls whatsoever.. no access to private info.. no real relationships.. no incentives.. no strings.. no nothing at all Everything I do now, find or research.. is just me in my office, on my own, talking to no one and trying to understand the investment as best as I can Doesn't mean I won't still get shit wrong.. and yeah I still get emotionally attached to ideas But at least those mistakes are all me and there are no invisible strings being pulled I honestly feel so much better for it.. and it allows me to just focus on going as deep as I want and unpacking the project fully with no incentives behind it I genuinely don't think having good intentions is enough.. Creating the right environment where temptations doesn't challenge those intentions is important imo That's what I've tried to do So yeah.. sorry for the essay, but that's what's changed 😂

People have asked me for years.. “What’s the next $TAO?” And what they really mean by that is.. What project is sitting at a valuation in the tens of millions today.. that could eventually grow into something worth multiple billions? After spending hundreds and hundreds of hours the past year reading.. researching.. listening.. questioning.. and going far deeper than I normally would.. Its $TIG And that's not something that I say lightly.. I’ve had enough failures over the years to know how easy it is to fall in love with an idea.. ignore a ton of the weak points.. and convince yourself that some issues aren't really issues.. Its always a recipe for disaster So last year, I decided to raise the bar brutally high I challenged myself to dig deeper than usual.. to attack the thesis from every possible angle.. to look for the bad.. where the architecture is weak.. who are the questionable people.. where is the broken value capture.. unrealistic assumptions.. anything that could eventually blow the whole thing apart I wanted to find the reasons not to invest in $TIG And I can honestly say.. The deeper I went, the stronger the thesis became It doesn’t mean $TIG can't fail and fuck things up It can Execution could disappoint.. licensing could take longer than expected.. adoption may be slower.. competitors may emerge.. the market may ignore it for years Anyone telling you there is no risk is either stupid or straight up lying But after weighing those risks against what @tigfoundation is building.. the quality of the people involved.. the incentive structure.. the size of the market.. and the importance of algorithmic breakthroughs to almost every major industry in the world.. I believe the potential upside from here is wildly disproportionate to the current valuation The fact that $TIG has already managed to produce a state of the are, world leading algorithm in Vehicle Routing is a testament to the power of the network and a sign they are well ahead of schedule $TAO has already gone from tens of millions into the multi billions.. I truly believe $TAO's next journey is from multi billions to hundreds of billions.. and that is what I am planning for $TIG is right back at the starting line It will begin its journey from tens of millions to multi billions.. As $TAO did The world will slowly realise how impactful a continuous open market for algorithmic breakthroughs is I believe both will eventually arrive at similar destinations in terms of disruption.. influence.. valuation.. and importance Like I've said before.. $TAO & $TIG are different systems but they are fighting the same battle.. and I honestly believe they will need eachother to topple these enormous, powerful centralised monopolies Both are going after markets so large that todays valuations look almost irrelevant if they manage to execute My honest advice is.. Own enough $TIG that you’re forced to pay attention.. Maybe that’s 100.. maybe its 10.. I don't know what your situation is.. Whatever amount allows you to care without putting yourself in any danger Then go and do the work Understand what @tigfoundation is trying to achieve.. - How Optimisable Proof of Work functions.. - Why challenge owners matter.. - How innovators and benchmarkers are rewarded.. - Who are the team.. - What Prometheus is.. - How algorithms can be licensed commercially.. - And why better algorithms change society.. That whole process is what turned my small position into a substantial one that has only grown in size over time I could still be wrong.. and I’m prepared to carry that if I am But after nearly a decade of wins.. failures.. scars.. and expensive fucking lessons.. $TIG is the closest thing I have found to discovering $TAO in 2022 And believe me, I do hate using that comparison.. because it is not really fair to either protocol But it terms of opportunity.. lighting is striking twice here Most people won't believe that until the valuation has already moved far beyond them.. That's how it always works The opportunity looks ridiculous while it is cheap.. then obvious once it is expensive Right now.. you have an opportunity to be there for the entire journey At least give yourself a chance to not waste that 🍻 $TIG

@DreadBong0 Can you tell us about your change of approach. Maybe a new last one was more than a year ago. I know you have good intentions and it always sucks when something you recommended really crashes. Most people never blame you of course, as they shouldn’t.

@Cryptowhatevers Those are the two that finally convinced me to rip up everything I thought I knew and change my entire approach

@patricksavalle Wat vind jij van Richard Werner? Die schets dat alle huidige economische modellen waardeloos zijn omdat daarin de toegenomen hoeveel gecreëerd geld door banken niet wordt mee berekend.

Dit klopt ook niet. Er zijn verschillende verklaringen voor inflatie. Monetaire inflatie, kosteninflatie en vraaginflatie. En er kunnen vele oorzaken zijn van elk van deze vormen van inflatie. Monetaire inflatie (geldcreatie) leidt ook niet altijd tot prijsinflatie (geldontwaarding), alleen als de extra bestedingsruimte groter wordt dan de economie kan opvangen. Als een bank geld creëert middels een lening aan een bedrijf, dan wordt wel nieuw geld gecreëerd, maar ook de productiecapaciteit neemt toe. Het extra aanbod kan de extra vraag opvangen. Wel monetaire inflatie, maar niet per se waardevermindering van geld. Het is complex. Daarom is macro-economie ook geen exacte wetenschap. Er bestaan in de macro-economie geen wetenschappelijke theorieën (vinden ze zelf van wel), alleen modellen en hypotheses die de werkelijkheid met wisselend succes proberen te beschrijven. De onderliggende reden is dat een economie een complex, zelforganiserend systeem is en daardoor slechts beperkt voorspelbaar of deterministisch. De enige manier om daarmee om te gaan, is doorlopend reageren en dat is precies waarom een centrale bank zo zinvol kan zijn. Hoewel ik een voorstander ben van meer marktwerking op het gebied van geld, valuta en geldvoorziening.

@Historyble @daanisharif @const_reborn So what does that mean? Yield on Root going up?

@daanisharif @const_reborn Root is subnet 0, original base layer TAO

root is coming back, and it's going to be glorious

@TaoIsTheKey @AltcoinMillie You’re right but it’s weird I have to click the Polkadot symbol to activate my access to the Bittensor chain. That feels like it’s built in POL so I understand where the feeling comes from.

A lot of the FUDsters of Bittensor $TAO claim that it’s a shit project because it runs on polkadot. So let’s clear this up once and for all.: No — the claim that “Bittensor runs on Polkadot” being a “huge detractor” (or tractor) for the network is false and based on a common misconception. Here’s the no-assumptions, fully fact-checked breakdown. 1. Does Bittensor actually “run on Polkadot”? No. •Subtensor (Bittensor’s base blockchain) is a sovereign, independent Layer-1 built with Polkadot’s Substrate framework/SDK. •It was originally planned as a Polkadot parachain (named “Finney”) and even won a slot auction in early 2022, but the team deliberately migrated to its own standalone chain (“Nakamoto”) in March 2023 to avoid any dependency on Polkadot’s relay chain, slot auctions, or shared security model. •Confirmed across official sources and analyses: “Bittensor uses Substrate technologies, but operates as an independent blockchain and is not part of the Polkadot ecosystem as a parachain.” It has zero economic or security reliance on DOT or the Polkadot relay chain. The FUD usually comes from people loosely saying “it’s built on Polkadot tech” and then implying it’s a parachain. It’s not. It’s as independent as any other Substrate-based L1 (e.g., many custom chains that use the same dev tools but run their own validators). 2. Does the Substrate foundation create scaling problems for businesses? No — it actually helps. •Substrate is purpose-built for high-performance, customizable L1s. It gives Bittensor full control over runtime logic, tokenomics, and upgrades without waiting on Polkadot governance or slot leases. •Business adoption (subnets selling real products/services) is not constrained by the base layer. Subnets run their AI workloads off-chain (miners/validators use their own GPUs/servers via Axon/Dendrite). The chain only handles lightweight coordination: staking, weight submissions, Yuma Consensus epochs, and TAO emissions. •Real-world proof: 128+ live subnets, multiple with verified fiat revenue (e.g., LeadPoet at $1M ARR, others in drug discovery, real-estate tokenization, etc.). EVM compatibility was added in late 2024 precisely to make it easier for businesses to deploy contracts directly on Subtensor. •No documented scaling bottlenecks tied to Substrate in 2026 data. Block times are ~12 seconds — more than sufficient for a coordination/oracle layer that doesn’t do on-chain ML. 3. Does it stop miners from doing their job properly? Absolutely not. •Miners never run heavy compute on the blockchain itself. Their job is off-chain: producing AI outputs (inferences, models, data, etc.) and serving them to validators. •The chain only records the results of Yuma Consensus (stake-weighted scoring). Miners register a UID, run their server, and submit scores — the exact same way on any L1. •Top KOLs and devs (including @opentensor and subnet owners) routinely state that the architecture deliberately separates the “intelligence layer” (decentralized, permissionless, off-chain) from the “coordination layer” (Subtensor). This is a feature, not a bug — it avoids the energy/throughput nightmare of trying to do ML on-chain. •No miner complaints in recent top-100 KOL posts or community threads about Substrate limiting performance. The real constraints miners face are GPU costs, electricity, and subnet-specific competition — not the base layer. Bottom line: The “runs on Polkadot” line is imprecise FUD that ignores the 2023 migration and the intentional off-chain design. Substrate gives Bittensor flexibility and speed-to-market, not limitations. Businesses and miners operate exactly as the whitepaper intended: permissionless intelligence production with TAO as the incentive layer. No technical show-stoppers — the network is scaling fine with 128+ subnets live and real revenue already flowing.

@CoachDanGo Reading builds the mind. But the wisest people I’ve ever studied didn’t just read about the mind. They went inside. This is what school SHOULD be.

Why do schools never focus on wisdom? In all my years as a teacher I have never really come into contact with true learning. What it means to be a human being? What are the bigger questions we never ask? School needs to change.

We should focus more on wisdom. I am building a cinematic series about wisdom traditions, philosophy, newton to Einstein to the double slit experiment and then towards the science of the teenage mind. We talk about neuroplasticity and explain how the teenage mind CAN work. @PathofWonders

Almost all schools focus on dry knowledge. We choose wisdom @pathofwonders

Nobody told you there were 4 different money games. Different rules. Different freedom. Different you. You’ve been playing one your whole life, without knowing the others exist. Which one is actually yours? The future of learning. #homeschooling

If you ever want your kids to learn something, it should be this. Especially if you’re done with public school.

@Nicolascole77 Hi Nicholas. Exactly my case. As a former teacher I couldn’t bear to teach that crap in the classroom. I worked for a year now on story based lessons for teens about life, finance and managing your phone usage. If you want I can send you a sample. We’re going live in 6 weeks.

Zara, 17 years old is staring at her screen. She has to write a university essay. The question: “Who are you?” She stares at the page. Blank. Not because she’s unprepared. Because no one ever helped her find out. This is Science of Wonder. 🎬 Follow to see her journey.

@Mikeachim Great research. Have you looked into the Black Sea as well? There are villages at the bottom where the sea is very salty. My theory is that íf Moses’ sea split happened, maybe it’s because the Black Sea started filling up, decreasing the sea levels for some time in the Red Sea.

A while back, I learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head. Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry. Hang onto your hat. This gets wild. 1/

@maenen1949 @KokumajutsushiX @Strijder124 Lees eens over de Balfour Declaration als het gaat over …hebben ervoor moeten vechten…

@KokumajutsushiX @Strijder124 Ja, dat wil ik stellen dat DE Joden daar niet verantwoordelijk voor zijn. De Joden hebben Israël niet gekregen, ze hebben daar verdomde hart voor moeten vechten. Waarom zouden Joden, die hier al honderden jaren wonen, het westen willen verlaten? Ze horen ook hier!

De Joodse schrijfster Natascha van Weezel gebruikt begrippen als de Great Reset, QAnon en termen als globalisten en reptielen om aanhangers van Forum voor Democratie te framen als antisemieten. Deze framing mist elke feitelijke onderbouwing en zegt vooral veel over haar eigen denkwijze. "De Great Reset, dat was een complot theorie die tijdens de corona crisis heel erg door hen werd aangehangen, Qanon ging over een sadistisch pedofiel netwerk van globalisten. Globalisten is een ander woord voor joden, reptielen kan een ander woord voor joden zijn. Machtige mensen met connecties kan een synoniem zijn voor joden. En als je heel goed luistert dan begrijp je die hondefluitjes."

@xenu_01 @AnduinWhisper @TruthFairy131 Some claim that the crappy pyramids were built by the Egyptians because the wanted to see if they can build them too. But they weren’t as good as the original. That’s the theory. And there is no evidence they built them too three. Show me the scrolls.

@AnduinWhisper @TruthFairy131 The pyramids that are older are much more primitive.

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 MSM & Mainstream Egyptologists are finally acknowledging what we all knew. An Egyptologist is making the case that the Great Pyramids were built by an advanced civilization thousands of years earlier than previously thought. António Ambrósio, an independent researcher from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, detailed the mysterious clues that point to the three main pyramids at Giza being up to 12,000 years old, predating the Egyptians by millennia. Another conspiracy theory now accepted as truth.

@fmeeus1 Bijzondere uitspraak. Ik ben het tot nu to altijd met je eens geweest maar betekent dit idd dat Italianen de huizen kunnen bezetten van iedereen die woont in een gebied van een voormalig Romeinse nederzetting?

Sommigen denken dat er enkel "Palestijnen" woonden in Gaza . Klopt niet, originele bewoners van Gaza waren Joden en Filistijnen. Dat weten we uit onafhankelijke bronnen van de Romeinse bezetter.
