Bittensor $TAO is the only borderless incentive layer for accelerating the continuously improving production of open source AI on many dimensions. This layer has already surpassed  critical mass adoption by builders. It still lags cutting edge centralized open source efforts — but it will surpass those over the coming years just as open always does with closed when properly applied. Fascinatingly, there so few people actually appreciate that Bittensor is in an entirely unique league / class of its own. It has no direct competitors. Aspirational competitors, sure, but nothing directly stimulating the currently achieved activity (even remotely).

In the same way Bitcoin $BTC continues to disrupt and upgrade the world of traditional fiat currency using the method of scarce commodity production (high cryptographic entropy: SHA 256 Hashing, which will likely evolve over time), Bittensor uses the exact same architectural principles to enable anyone to express an incentive mechanism and unlock latent talent toward a common objective function: proof of useful utility work, directly undergirding the applications that are redefining the future of computing.

The % of pro-Bitcoin people who actually understand Bitcoin at a systematic level is probably < 0.1%. The same is far from true with Bittensor since the community is overwhelmingly full of builders, contributors, collaborators — all driving the ecosystem forward. Once Bittensor starts to generate commodities that mainstream consumers actually use in different applications (some early signs of this already), the ratio of those who hold the token / admire it + actually understand how / why it works will similarly reflect Bitcoin. This is totally expected and should not be discouraged. At a large scale of saturation, > 99% of technology interaction by humans is consumption, not production.
