Bittensor (TAO)

"This isn’t a healthy competition when well-known people on the network keep extracting TAO, and some even use it to feed a second subnet. There is no meritocracy in that scenario. The solution should have been radical: remove those who build nothing first." -@CryptoZPunisher

$TAO vs $ICP Everyone shills #AI, but very few actually compare the numbers like this. [Head to Head Series #1] $TAO feels like the cleaner AI beta play right now. Better liquidity, clearer supply narrative (halving in Dec = issuance cut), and the market cap/FDV setup still gives it room to run if the AI narrative heats up again. $TAO subnets are expanding daily. The revenue signal also looks healthier on the surface. $ICP is massively down from ATH and a much bigger holder base, so if sentiment flips and dev traction really shows up, it can rip hard. But it’s also the longer grind, you’re betting on adoption + execution more than a near-term catalyst. I’m leaning $TAO based on the data here, clearer catalyst + cleaner tradeability. $ICP is interesting, but it needs narrative usage momentum to really outperform.

Real Use Cases, Real Speed, Real Decentralization @inference_labs When you put all the pieces together, the impact becomes obvious. With DSperse running on Bittensor’s Subnet 2, zkML proofs that used to take hours can now be generated in just a few seconds. And because the workload is distributed across a global miner network, the cost drops dramatically in some cases even cheaper than running centralized inference. This suddenly unlocks use cases that were impossible before: DeFi: on chain risk models, pricing engines, liquidation checks Healthcare: privacy preserving diagnostics where only the proof is shared Legal & compliance: verifiable audits without exposing sensitive data Gaming & agents: trustless AI logic that players can verify And the best part? Subnet 2 isn’t a “concept” it’s already running 24/7, with miners around the world competing to produce zkML proofs in real time. You can feel the cryptoeconomic incentives working exactly as designed. After listening to the podcast, it’s hard
