Hey Sam Dare, you can’t do what you did and expect things to go back to normal a few days later. Especially not showing up giving startup advice. Go back to the shadows. $TAO Bittensor is bigger than any one person. And it keeps getting stronger without you.

WARNING: If you listen to social media, you will NOT make money & will be miserable! Only optimists make money long-term, do NOT bet against the economy & focus on building your edge The algorithm is CREATED to make you REACT! Anger is the most powerful human emotion!

$TAO fam, I read every word Jacob wrote. Twice. Then, a third time. And I sat with it for a while before writing this because what he said deserves it. It Made me more convicted in this network than I have ever been. Jacob opened with something you almost never see in this industry. Raw honesty. Not a corporate statement drafted. Not a PR-approved damage control. A man telling you that someone he considered a brother betrayed him and that it shook him. And in the same time, apologizing to every single person who lost money. When was the last time you saw a founder of anything, crypto, tech, traditional finance, come out after a crisis and lead with an apology to the people who got hurt? Not deflection. Not blame shifting. An apology. That tells you everything about who is steering this ship and, more importantly, the foundation the network was actually built on. There is something about what happened here, and Jacob touched on it without flinching. It hits home to many of us. The people you help the most can hurt you the most. That is not a crypto problem. That is a human problem as old as humans themselves, even biblical. Like the brother who sells out the family. I think it happens because proximity to greatness sometimes breeds resentment instead of gratitude. And when someone flies too close to the sun on wings, they do not build alone. They forget who helped them get airborne in the first place. Everything Covenant achieved the 72 billion parameter model, the arXiv paper, the Jensen Huang praise, the Anthropic citations all of it was built on the back of Bittensor's miners, Bittensor's emissions, Bittensor's infrastructure, and Bittensor's community. The network made it possible. The collective funded it. Then one person decided the recognition belonged to him alone. Jacob said he could not regret trusting Samuel. What Samuel proved, through intense effort, was that permissionless open-source networks can compete with centralized billion-dollar fiat-funded labs. Think about what kind of person says that about someone who just caused them max pain. A person who cares more about the mission than about being right. A person who understands that the work matters more than the individual who did it. That is not common. In any industry. In any era. That is the kind of leadership that builds things that last centuries, not quarters, folks. The next thing I believe will define the next chapter of this network. Bittensor was built to be resistant to the pitfalls of human error, greed, selfishness, and other sins. It is permissionless by nature because while we are all fatally flawed, we are also fatally required to participate in the future of AI. Read that sentence again. We are all fatally flawed. And we are all fatally required. That's the fire at the heart of this entire project. You can not build an open network and expect only good people to show up. You can not build a permissionless system and then be surprised when someone uses that permission to do something selfish. The openness that allows brilliance also allows betrayal. The only way to handle that is not to close the doors but to harden it up. Now it’s happening. This next part matters most because it speaks directly to Bittensor’s future. Success is never a straight line. This all proves the mission here is a real one. The future of Bittensor will be defined by how it metabolizes these problems into stronger primitives moving forward. More coming...
