dTAO is how $TAO will go to 2000+ USD. 

This locking mechanism will increase demand for $TAO as it becomes the primary means to acquire subnet tokens.

It's a bit like if all erc20 tokens required freezing an equal USD value of ETH to obtain them.

Moreover, dTAO is expected to foster innovation within subnets, attract venture capital, and bring in more traditional machine learning talent, all of which could further propel the demand and price appreciation of $TAO. 

IMHO, the upcoming supply shock from this dynamic mechanism is not priced in.
