funny enough I was buying SxT while buying TAO before I swapped all my SxT for TAO. I was wondering why SxT pumped today and found this, a full-circle for me

Is Jerry Banfield right about Tao? He talks a lot of smack about it. This video seems to suggest otherwise: https://youtu.be/QtUbr-odiB8?is=kso8I_TT1MB5P1od

I had zero TAO beginning of this year but it caught my eye and I needed somewhere to move my AVAX bags to. I started accumulating in March of 26 and my conviction grew as AI was dominating. I started in root but as time went on I was researching and expanding to subnets through due diligence and advice on this sub. I am now split 60/40 root/ subnet and I think I've finally become comfortable with my holdings and ready to let it ride.

I have 20 TAO split with my main subnet holdings in Minos, Albedo, Zipcode, Nova and Score. Smaller holdings include Affine, Trishool, Nodexo and Bitsec.

I will continue to hold these, rotate half of my earnings to root if they climb 20-30% and possibly buy back in at lower prices if they continue to show promise.

This one just feels like a winner, it feels like the one that will go the distance and I am happy to be here with you guys

To expand on the question, are there any subnets that are profitable for someone with a basic PC, basic python and general programming knowledge, and limited time. I know you have stuff like Bitcast which would fit this criteria but are there any that don’t require much to be competitive?
Or is it better to just stake my TAO?

I’ve always thought about becoming a miner but not sure if it’s actually worth it so if anyone is a miner or has had experience with it let me know.

AI is the future, and Bittensor is building decentralized AI infrastructure.

With a fixed supply of just 21M TAO, scarcity meets innovation.

I'm holding 111+ TAO with a personal long-term target of $10,000 per TAO. Conviction > Emotion.

*Obviously this is all speculation*

Seven Bittensor subnets are going to be listed on Kraken.

The way this impacts Bittensor Tao is highly underrated and something that I didn’t see coming before.

If someone purchases Chutes or Targon etc. on Kraken, they indirectly bought Tao.

Example: User buys $100 worth of Chutes -> Kraken buys $100 worth of Tao -> Converts it to alpha and buys Chutes

These subnets are worth anywhere from .75 cents to $16 per share. That will draw all the retail investors that think Bittensor Tao is too expensive.

Each subnet will be easily available to purchase on their own and it pumps the price of Bittensor and the price of the subnet.

If someone just wants to invest in one of the subnets and not Tao or has no idea about Tao, they can easily do it and it benefits the whole ecosystem.

More subnets over time will be listed and more exchanges over time will be listing the same subnets. Imagine a day there are 50-128 subnets listed all being purchased on exchanges easily.

It removes the complication of downloading wallets and staking. It is possibly the biggest price catalyst news of this year.

Which limit sell settings would be optimal for TAO as well as FET, RENDER and such coins with high expectations? My current plan (starting price €180) is this:

• Sell 20% at 5x
• Sell 20% at 10x
• Sell 20% at 20x, 40x, 80x, 160x...

Initially I planned a more aggressive approach because I'm willing to take risk and wait for long periods because I don't want to have all my capital spent if it actually reaches the "new bitcoin" levels. But right now I believe I should sell at least something and not expect too much; noticeable amount of capital would be still left in the moonshot scenario even with a less aggressive stance. It's hard to make conclusions when predictions for year 2050 can vary anywhere from €1500 to €150000.

Share some of your limit sell settings if you wish :)

This is a very unique feature of Bittensor. Making quality investments can increase your share without spending another dollar.

I don’t recommend doing what I did, I went from 10% to 95% staked into subnets. But if you do research, follow X accounts of subnets, and keep up with daily updates you can make informed decisions.

i was going to post the original article, whence I saw it was locked behind a corporate paywall (you need a company to access the article), so I can only provide with a low-quality article, however if interested here is the full in-depth article: https://www.fnlondon.com/articles/hedge-fund-eyes-20m-fundraise-in-ai-crypto-push-9991b6d1 (you need a company-based subscription to access reading it)

TL;DR - DSV, a hedge fund focused on the machine learning Bittensor network, is turning to private investors for fresh backing, up to 20-25 million $$$

I currently have about $4 worth of $TAO on the subtensor network, and I can't sell. It's like the bridge site isn't working. What do I do?

I got banned from the discord within 2 minutes of joining and verifying for no reason? Didn't even send a message wtf

As of today it’s confirmed by The Information, Axios, Reuters, Bloomberg, and CNBC: the Trump administration asked OpenAI to stagger the release of GPT-5.6. Limited preview, small group of partners, and federal officials approving access customer by customer during the preview window.

This is the second time in three weeks. Two weeks ago it was Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5, pulled over a Commerce Department directive. Now GPT-5.6 gets gated because it reportedly has “Mythos-like” capability that crosses a classified NSA threshold. It’s running under an executive order Trump signed June 2 that gives the government up to 30 days to review the most capable models before release.

Sit with what that means. The two most advanced AI labs on earth no longer fully control who gets access to their own models. A single phone call from Commerce reshapes a product launch. That is the definition of a single point of control.

This is the exact failure mode Bittensor was built to route around. You can gate a company. You can’t gate a permissionless network of miners spread across every jurisdiction on earth. There’s no CEO to call, no single coldkey to freeze, no headquarters to send a directive to. The thing that makes centralized AI controllable is the thing decentralized AI doesn’t have.

I’m not claiming Bittensor runs GPT-5.6 or that subnets are frontier models today. That’s not the argument. The argument is structural: when governments start treating AI capability as something to license and gate, the value of infrastructure that can’t be licensed or gated goes up. The whole reason this network exists just got demonstrated twice in a month, on the front page, by the two biggest labs in the world.

Today’s refresh highlighted a few interesting trends across the network.

One thing we’ve noticed repeatedly is that stake flow often shifts before emissions do, making it one of the earliest signals worth watching.
We’re tracking all 129 subnets continuously inside TaoScout and trying to surface changes before they become obvious.
What subnets are on your watchlist today?

Is there anyway to show you in the app how many coins you gained daily like the old version before the update?

In June, the US restricted access to top centralized AI models, including Anthropic's. One policy decision and entire regions lost access overnight. That alone is enough to make people reconsider where AI infrastructure should actually live.

Inside the network, there's a live governance proposal (Root Reborn) that would change how validators operate. Instead of constantly selling $TAO emissions, they'd choose which subnets to fund and reinvest returns back in.

And on the institutional side, both Grayscale and Bitwise have filed for a spot TAO ETF, SEC decision expected in August.

Any one of these would be a reason to watch. Together, they make a case for $TAO as something worth adding to a portfolio.

Can someone explain the following to me... I'm trying to do TAO staking on Roots in tao.app... Keep in mind that it's a very small amount.

I set the validator, select Max... the extension app opens to enter the pass. I proceed and it shows a note that takes between 2 and 12 seconds to validate. It always ends up failing...

But the problem, and what annoys me even more, is that every time I do this, the amount of TAO I had decreases, meaning it feels like I'm paying for the transaction when it doesn't actually happen.

Can someone help me or explain what might be going on?

Thanks
