Will Bittensor be Bigger than Bitcoin? | The TAO Pod

Episode Description:

Hosted by James Altucher (serial entrepreneur, bestselling author of "Choose Yourself," podcaster, hedge fund manager, chess master, and investor in over 20 companies, with expertise in crypto and AI) and Joseph Jacks (founder and general partner of OSS Capital, the world's first VC firm dedicated to commercial open-source software; early-stage investor in AI and open-source tech, previously Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Quantum Corporation).

In the premiere episode, James and Joe explore Bittensor's decentralized AI ecosystem, contrasting it with centralized giants like xAI's Grok 4. They discuss subnets providing GPUs, datasets, and models; proof-of-useful-work mining; building custom AI agents; and Bittensor's potential to outpace Big Tech in achieving superintelligence.

Plus, tokenomics, real-world apps, capitalism parallels, and bold predictions on TAO's future value.

  • 00:28:00 - Scaling & Future: Decentralization's infinite potential; Bitcoin compute parallels.
  • 00:33:00 - Superintelligence Path: Bittensor faster than Elon; energy/chip challenges.
  • 00:34:00 - Bittensor's Early Stage: Like 1990s internet, needs better user interfaces.
  • 00:38:00 - Chutes Economics: 10T+ tokens served, 4.4K H100 GPUs, user growth.
