AI is one of the primary arcs in crypto this bull run and $TAO will remain the AI crypto OG play. Also, the chart has been consolidating forever and looks like it's almost finished for the next leg up. 

Further:

a) DTAO - best possible development as it incentives endless subnets to compete and provide value to the network vs today where only a few subnets have free $TAO printers for a very skewed value to the network provided vs rewards received ratio. 

No vaporware or gimmicks, but real stuff and AI innovation is the only conclusion. Lots are going to gamble their $TAO away for alpha tokens, but it will also provide serious opportunities. I expect this to draw tons of attention to the Bittensor ecosystem.

b) Halving end of this year - cutting emissions by 50%

Especially if we are getting a prolonged run into Q4-Q1 '26, we might have all the right puzzle pieces for an explosive run up.
