Recently introduced concept of Time till Open Source Alternative (TTOSA): time btw release of proprietary product & open-source equivalent - is a good metric to assess #bittensor usability.

One estimate of TTOSA for #AI is seven years but I believe #bittensor has already shown potential to reduce it to a few months, which means #bittensor is a gold-mine waiting to be discovered (beyond the early adopters).

When that happens - conservative estimates of $TAO price imo would hover around $10,000 USD.
