@romlib_ Crypto is a legit and indeed inevitable technology. Usually such things are net positive.

Warren's war on crypto was a pure own-goal by the Democrats. It achieved nothing, and it cost them enormously by alienating a large fraction of a powerful group who'd previously supported them. Look at the change from 2020 to 2024.

I do believe we'll see $TAO rally to $1,000 or $2,000 within the next twelve months. I've got strong conviction in the AI <> Crypto convergence and I do think that AI agents will use the infrastructure of crypto to settle payments on. That's why I bet big on $TAO and $NEAR.

So is mine. Thank you for all you do, @timburchett -- you are a national treasure and a patriot.

🚨 @b1m_ai #SN105 on Bittensor is building the first decentralized bandwidth highway for AI agents. • Turns unused home office and data center links into a global data fabric • Cuts costs for AI workloads by avoiding hyperscaler data transfer markups • Makes it harder for any single entity to censor or block traffic • Serves as a native data backbone that other Bittensor subnets can plug into The TAM Beam is entering is the AI data transfer and networking stack which is on track to grow into the tens to hundreds of billions of dollars over the next five years Over the next 5 years • If AI infrastructure grows at 25% to 35% annually and Beam captures even a small slice of the data highway layer • It could evolve from a niche infra bet into a multi hundred million to low billion dollar ecosystem layer in bittensor:native equivalent terms This is not just another bandwidth market • Beam is betting it will become the data backbone of the next wave of agentic AI • As AI data transfer explodes the upside may not be in models alone but in who controls the pipes they run on

One week away:

@jaltucher @Space___Turtle @chutes_ai THIS IS AWESOME

@Space___Turtle @chutes_ai Correct. I don't need to be a subnet. I'm using subnets on bittensor already. Chutes, hosts the AI. And whatever subnet hosts for Chutes, etc. Any subnet that wants to be consumer facing I plan to integrate.

This is in Alpha only. But a $TAO-powered ChatGPT-like interface. Bluetao.ai . Only using bittensor subnets (e.g. @chutes_ai ) for test and image inference. Also, you can upload files and ask questions about the files. And, for sign-ins, persistent chat memory. No censorship. Total privacy. And I'm getting the results at 1/250th the cost of ChatGPT. Only in alpha right now so might have errors or changes coming.

@jaltucher WOW very nice!

Also, persistent memory per chat. Start a chat one day, and if you return to that chat days or years later, it will remember everything from that chat.

Wow. Kind of stunned that Google wasn't embarassed by America -- or didn't try to replace Memorial Day with something woke. But: credit where due. Good on you, @Google.

@balajis Elon is our Hari Seldon. Actually, eff that. We're not collapsing this time. We're going to get rid of the woke barbarians and ascend to greater heights than ever before and become uneffable and Kardashevian.

Western civilization has collapsed before. But a few scholars preserved the ideas that once made Rome great. They made a backup, and it did eventually come all the way back. It just took one thousand years.

The month chart (denominated in $TAO) -- Ditto the big 5x winner. Congrats to those who called it early. Steady upticks from Nova, Score, Zipcode (formerly RESI).

This is completely nuts. Where DID our money go, @GavinNewsom? Because it certainly did NOT go towards a train.

What reason could these states have to refuse to share their voter-registration data with DOJ? I can’t think of a legitimate one.

Keith jumps into the arena.

@jaltucher @chutes_ai Huge. LOVE this.

@MuseZack @pmarca OMG that is the best poster ever.

@pmarca Ari Aster deserves credit for daring to make a film about the craziness of 2020 while pretty much every other artist has run away from it in a way that makes one realize how people managed to forget the 1918-19 Influenza pandemic for so long.

Development activity is at an all-time high on Bittensor - Commits/month as of May 1, 2026: 5894 - Daily unique contributors as of May 1, 2026: 56 Both figures are aggregated across all 128 subnets. Data source: @taostats

If people knew the talent density and competitiveness of mining in Bittensor, we would teleport. Bittensor’s greatest asset is the anon demons in the metagraph who will do everything but what you want them to do. Taming them is the single greatest feat of a subnet’s success and once you do you have control of a legion bittensor:native
