Elon already went public and his (commendable) mission is now to drive token cost into the ground, ruining the high-spend business model for @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI before they can IPO. all roads lead to open source, decentralized AI. $TAO #bittensor

The mega bull case for AI infrastructure would be *if* market share shifted away from certain frontier labs with 90%+ inference margins toward cheaper models, whether open-source or closed. It would increase the ROI on AI spend for end customers by increasing intelligence per dollar, which would drive incremental token demand. Margin dollars would effectively get redistributed from the frontier labs to AI infrastructure providers. The infra winners would be those with the lowest per token cost and the winners at the model layer would be those with the highest token efficiency. There are many reasons Jensen is so focused on open source, but this is likely the most important one as I think he is probably less worried about a monopsony these days. Lower margin % at the model layer = more margin $ at the infra layer all else equal. With SpaceX and Meta being vertically integrated and possessing the #3 and #4 models respectively it is more possible than ever. Note that Grok 4.5 is ahead of Fable for some useful tasks at a much lower cost, so ranking them #3 is conservative. This is not happening yet. Cheap, mostly open source tokens are likely the majority of volume today but the majority of economic value is still accruing to the most intelligent models. Might change though. We will see.

ORO and Connito subnet owner keys were compromised, causing large subnet alpha sells. TL;DR: almost none of this ecosystem is secured behind multisig. First it's terrible form to victim shame. It is super stressful to not just lose your project funds and investor funds, but also future funds because of the ema price emissions dynamic. On top of that, adding character attacks and rugpull claims is adding salt to the wound. Let's do better and try to take what we can to prevent these incidents in the future. We did our own independent investigation to try to help out the teams. Got in touch with Seth and Shardul, looked at tx history, and anything in the public space that could explain the key compromise and how it was conducted. They, Connito, Crucible are all actively investigating likely causes. The first common connection, both teams were backed by @CrucibleLabs, and possibly users of Crucible Wallet. We looked at their wallet chrome extension, pointed @bitsecai to investigate the security of the wallet. We found no logical connection with the nature of the hacks and Crucible Wallet. Looking at tx history, it seems like the hacker is not fluent in the Bittensor ecosystem and was clumsy in unstaking and withdrawing funds. In my mind this drastically reduces the odds of an inside job. Could Bitsec have prevented this? No. We point Bitsec towards codebases to find exploits, application security. The key compromise happened outside of this scope. Where this leads us: as @Rapido_ai pointed out, in a multi-billion dollar protocol, very little is secured behind multi-sig keys, about 67.8k tao of 11.1 million tao in circulating supply. Approx 0.6%. So: use multisig and hardware wallets. If there's a chance of pk leaks, secure a new multisig and hardware wallet, and move to the new coldkey. As @xavi3rlu has previously stated, create a multi sig with the TAO docs and ck swap there, but it is a multi-sig that can't remove or add people. Shardul has remarked ledger support for btcli was not added until very recently. Opsec and key management is not as fun as beating SOTA or revenue, but has for better or worse become table stakes for all sn owners. We don't have clear answers or causation yet, so let's hold tight and wait for @oroagents and @ConnitoAI to tell us the details in their incident reports.

If you're buying an apartment complex that looks like this, your best amenity is price. Not countertops, outdoor kitchens, dog wash stations, ev chargers, smart locks, or anything else a guru tells you. It's all bullshit you won't get paid for. Cheap rent is all that matters.

Learning how to sell options has changed my life. My options selling strategy is actually pretty simple. I stick to a repeatable process which I’ll share with you for FREE. I want everyone to win, and if you like to win, give me a follow. How I Approach Selling Options: 1. Sell options on great companies. Find businesses in industries with long-term growth tailwinds. Study the fundamentals, understand the valuation, and decide whether you’d be happy owning the stock for years. Build a watchlist so you’re ready when opportunities come. 2. Sell covered calls on big green days When a stock rallies, option premiums increase. If I’m willing to sell my shares at a higher price anyway, I get paid while I wait. 3. Sell cash secured puts on big red days. Fear creates opportunity. Red days usually mean higher implied volatility and better premiums. If I already wanted to buy the stock at a lower price, I can get paid to potentially buy it there. It’s basically getting paid to place a limit order. 4. Look for implied volatility above 30%. Higher IV generally means richer option premiums. The more premium I collect, the more I get paid for taking the same obligation. 5. Avoid selling options right before earnings. Earnings can cause huge price swings in either direction. I’d rather collect consistent premium than gamble on a binary event. 6. Always be comfortable with assignment. If I sell a cash secured put, I’m happy buying the shares. If I sell a covered call, I’m happy selling my shares. If you’re disappointed either way, you probably shouldn’t have placed the trade. 7. I typically target a 0.25 to 0.35 delta. This gives me a balance between collecting meaningful premium while maintaining a reasonable probability of success. 8. I target at least a 1.5-2% monthly return on capital. If a trade doesn’t meet my minimum return requirement, I simply wait. Cash is a position too, and patience is one of the biggest edges in investing. 9. Don’t overconcentrate. Don’t let one stock or one sector become too large a percentage of your portfolio. Diversification won’t eliminate risk, but it can prevent one bad trade from doing serious damage. 10. Always keep cash in reserve. Never deploy all your capital. Keep cash available in case multiple cash secured puts get assigned or an incredible buying opportunity presents itself. 11. Have an exit plan before entering. Know exactly what you’ll do before placing the trade. Will you let it expire, buy it back early, roll it out, or accept assignment? The decision should be made before emotions get involved. 12. Don’t chase premium. The highest premiums usually come with the highest risk. Focus on quality companies and favorable setups, not whichever option pays the most. 13. Position sizing matters. No single trade should have the power to significantly hurt your portfolio. Size your positions so one unexpected move doesn’t derail your long-term strategy. 14. Be patient. Some months the market offers incredible opportunities. Other months it doesn’t. You don’t need to force trades just because you have cash sitting idle. 15. Understand why IV is high. Higher implied volatility means higher premiums, but it also means the market expects bigger price swings. Make sure the premium justifies the risk you’re taking. That’s how I approach selling options. What’s your strategy like?

Selling options is a cheat code. I promise you will not regret learning this strategy. The past two years have completely changed the trajectory of my family’s life. Last year I set a goal of making $120k from trading options in 2026. Today, I’m already up $106k YTD with both buying and selling options. 🤯 Mission almost accomplished. Now it’s time to think bigger. My goal for next year is $300k in options income. People will say it’s unrealistic. They said the same thing about this year’s goal. To everyone who doubts me… Thank you. You’ve always been my favorite source of motivation.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), appearing overall outwardly healthy, spoke to reporters yesterday in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv, expressing support for the White House’s decision to impose tougher sanctions on Russia. Roughly 24 hours later, he was dead from sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Washington.

Told you yesterday 👀 “Anthropic is gonna have to slash prices and crank the limits way up if they want to compete.” Just days after GPT-5.6 + Grok 4.5 landed, they hit send: ✅ Extending Claude Fable 5 access on all paid plans ✅ Keeping Claude Code’s weekly rate limits 50% higher Competition is cooking hard. They’re gonna have to slash prices too because what you get with Grok 4.5 is way cheaper, unlimited and actually ships. Meanwhile on my SuperGrokPro plan I just built an entire FPS + launch videos with Grok 4.5 and still have plenty left in the weekly pool. No model-specific handcuffs, no ‘through July 19’ timer. Grok just works.

Grok 4.5 might be the BEST model to actually ship with right now. Used Claude Fable 5 today to make several videos + graphics… hit my limit after like 4 turns 😂 Switched to Grok 4.5: cranked out multiple full product launch videos, built an entire FPS game prototype and it still has ZERO chill. No limits No slowdown Anthropic is gonna have to slash prices and crank the limits way up if they want to compete.

Today we closed on 40 acres in Virginia to build something the world has never seen. Here's why this is the most important thing you'll read today, without telling you exactly what it is. Not yet. There is a hole in the world. Not a gap in the market, a hole in the world. Millions of people living at a pace the human soul was never built for, checking their phones 200 times a day, sleeping next to their inboxes, calling a weekend at a hotel "getting away." It's not getting away... It's the same life with better sheets. Here's the truth nobody in hospitality wants to say out loud. Americans don't need to be more comfortable. We have great beds at home. We have saunas at our gyms. What we're starving for is something no thread count can deliver. The industry keeps bolting wellness onto buildings designed for something else. You can't retrofit meaning. So we're building from the ground up. This isn't our first time. Our mirror villas in Pennsylvania run at 90 percent occupancy, weekends booked out months ahead. Our first Virginia property runs at 100 percent, month over month. Those were the practice rounds. Build, manage, market, operate, deliver... With the help of God, we figured it out. What we're building now doesn't fit an existing category, and I'm tired of making it fit. It's not a resort, and it's not glamping with a bigger budget. Picture the world's finest hotel amenities wrapped around experiences no luxury brand would dare touch because they can't be measured on a P&L. The body will be fed like royalty. The soul will get nourished like it hasn't been since you were a kid. On one end you have gorgeous five-star properties where you sit in a beautiful room and think, okay, now what. On the other end you have earthy, soulful places held together with good intentions and a piece of canvas (aka “glamping”). But nobody has built the space in between at the highest level. That's the ambition. Not one wellness resort, rather a new category, proven here first, then repeated in the places where the exhausted and the successful overlap. Shoutout to my good lookin and hard workin co-founders Menachem Shemtov and Eli Shemtov, and to the architects, designers, builders, and investors who believe in us. And thank you to this community. Every comment, every message, every intro over the years has carried this further than you know. (And yes, for those who have asked, there is still room for investors to join.) I'll share the name soon, and I'll share the design when it can speak for itself. I'll leave you with this: if you've ever left a place feeling like you've gotten a new lease on life, you already understand what we're building. Exciting times ahead!
