TAO

GOhaveFUN92

My choices have been terrible lol I’ve been dipped into SUI, ATOM, & ALGO ecosystems with little to show for. I recently jumped into TAO & MONAD. I guess I still haven’t learned my lessons lol 😂 above all that I’m still heavily into bitcoin and now I’m rotating my funds into the stock market between growth stocks, dividend stocks and cash flow stocks.

tehdatacss

How is your portfolio doing??? 16,51% on TAO (average) 😄 hope more will come! avax is also strong performer, 2. biggest coin in my portfolio.

Maroal2

Zano, is low marketcap so good time to get in, and privacy coins are going up. Same with Zcash. TAO is good too

Traditional_Most105

If you want the safe way with less upside go BTC and ETH. If you want something with more upside then look on altcoins that are in the top 50 or top 100, make sure they are not memecoins, have a working project behind them, a trending narrative, good tokenomics and either put all your available money on one, or diversify and hold long term. For example some of my goins i will hold long term and dca on them are LINK, HBAR, TRAC, NEAR, TAO. I am not mentioning them to influence you. Do your own research. I dont know if its a good entry point now. But if youre gonna hold long term and dca on any coin you choose then it doesnt matter.

absinthiumxmr

I think TAO has some potential. Don't own any personally but it is at least a respectable own. NEAR is a centralized piece of shit that has AML checks and freezes funds.

liviughg

You may chose between becoming one of those insufferable Bitcoin maxis or invest in AI crypto projects (NEAR, TAO, others). You decide

TAO and KAS hahahaha

User404isfound

And Chainlink has been one of my best performers with a sub $7.50 average price buy. I can easily see it going up to $30+ along with Btc going up. Hyper will hit $100 easy with some time. Solana will crack $250, ETH will finally break $5,000, TAO will clear $350 and likely go higher to $500 while staking for a minimum of 6% while holding it, AAVE will see $350, and the monero I see going above $900

Ok_Dot4134

Look at AI plays for future. TAO being best and NEAR. If you want a totally Degen pick right now DRB launched on BASE. HYPE (if Trump actually gets it in USA).

Long-Championship851

ZEC, VVV, PIPPIN, HYPE, TAO just off the top of my head. So many more. Robinhood L2 is having a mini bull run in the middle of the bear market.

AmedioZ

BTC using 15k, then I perhaps spread the remaining 5k between Solana, Hype & TAO.

RecoverOld9545

I'm gonna start doing monthly DCA into mostly BTC but also major like HYPE, TAO, LINK, XRP. Still have ETH and SOL from last bull market that are in staking. Bear market is easy, bull markets are hell.

jacd03

Mostly hold BTC long term, then small bags of ETH and SOL. Then 5% on coins like HYPER, SUI, TAO, etc. that i hold for 1 cycle at the time.

faisal_yk26

Good breakdown but Bittensor doesn't belong in the PoW group. TAO uses Yuma Consensus, which is stake-based. Validators score miner outputs and those scores get aggregated on chain to decide emissions. There's no hashing competition and no computational puzzle securing the chain. The confusion probably comes from the word "miners," which Bittensor uses for nodes running inference rather than anything resembling Bitcoin mining. It does share the 21M cap and halvings with BTC, so the Bitcoin comparison isn't crazy, just not on consensus.

Fantastic-Writer905

Tbh i think TAO

Aerocryptic

Still have a decent position on TAO. Might load more if it goes below $150. If not I’ll ride my current bag. Looking at TIG and TAO subnets for small caps. I also have a moonshot on a really risky bet Quilibrium. On large caps I’ll had to my BTC bag if we got another dip in September. Maybe some ETH too as I sold all my bag in 2025.

GrapefruitOwn6261

I’ve already got HYPE and got in really early around $14, so I’m well up on that. I’m looking at Lighter, TAO, Morpho, Jupiter, AERO, Virtuals, Syrup and Arweave. I’ll probably pick 2 or 3. I’m just trying to work out what could give me the best gains when the next proper bull market comes around. I did really well with CAKE and UNI in 2021, and last cycle most of my AI coins did well, but it’s harder to tell what the next big narrative will be this time. I’m leaning towards some form of DeFi again, or maybe projects that are effectively following the HYPE model. Just trying to figure out where the biggest opportunities might be. I need to sell my cvx first though as that’s my play money

Vega71

This is already a thing. Bittensor TAO and it's Chutes subnet

Dangerous-Bed-5885

BTC is pointless now. Could swap that for like 2,000 XLM or some more XRP, or a crap Ron of HBAR. Maybe even get 1.5 TAO

Zealousideal_Day192

No SOL no ETH no TAO what a shit portfolio

No_Speaker9934

Es verdad pero Prefiero tener 2,5 TAO de Bittensor antes que 0,01 Bitcoin.

Timely-Fig2030

I will look into IOTA. I remember it. They use DAG tech. I think i will need some. I am currently DCAing into TAO, SUI and ICP.

Timely-Fig2030

E.g.: ETH, SUI, XLM , ICP, BTC, TAO, etc. Centralized fake-crypto, such as pengu, bonk, mother, hogan, turbo, popcat, ... and the billions of other shitcoins, created by 12 year old pimple assholes or a corrupt president or a wannabie star is not decentralized, nor trustless. Fuck memecoins!

Quirky_File_5189

If buy one of these, strongest is LINK and XRP if you wanna chase the hype. Otherwise another good Alt is TAO.

There is only one full blown AI coin and that is $GPP. Even $TAO is still only half baked by comparison. https://preview.redd.it/65x2vcujydgh1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec0e6d8229407a12004a513c8c0d97ca8b7f011e

PuzzleheadedBell4057

DCA monthly on the 15th into BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, HYPE, LINK, TAO, ZEC and RENDER $100 ea. Have a round-up on my checking account that I empty monthly to fund Doge - about $20-$30/month.

GrapefruitOwn6261

I’ve been looking into TAO and the subnets that Kraken has started listing. Does anyone here have much experience with them? I’m tempted to start building a position in TAO while it’s still relatively early, as it seems like it could be a strong AI play going into the next bull run. I did well with AKT last cycle, and some of the TAO subnets, like LIUM, seem to be tackling similar infrastructure but with much smaller market caps, which obviously makes them a lot more speculative. Most of my monthly investing goes into MSTR because the gains are tax-free in my Stocks & Shares ISA, but I still like allocating a bit to crypto for the potential of outsized returns. Would be interested to hear what people think about TAO and which subnets are worth researching.

hubanklem

How about maybe BTC TAO and KAS dca until then.. 👀

Timely-Fig2030

ICP, TAO, AAVE, ETH are good picks. Look for blockchains with usecase and tech. Nothing beats the tech of Internet Computer Protocol (ICP). Bittensor (TAO) is also lit, especially mining through machine learning and supply cap of 21 mill. Never touch a memecoin.

West_Veterinarian150

Heres my take. 30% BTC NOW, 25-30% ETH maybe when it drops to 1500 again later in the year. 7% LINK, 7% QNT, 5% TAO, 5% LTC, last 15-16% can go straight into some stock or maybe even TON coin they offer 17% apy on staking on tangem. Not bad if the price stays at 1.60 but tbh not all in on TON yet. But you could also add UNI, has big boys in there BlackRock

Timely-Fig2030

Make research about the major blockchains and then stick to your convictions. I think you hit a good time to enter. Never click on links in DM. Only buy on major CEXes and setup all safety measures. Never type in your secret passphrase on an interface. Stay away from all memecoins. The coming cycle will be driven by usecase and tech. Take a look at ICP, TAO, AAVE, etc. And it's always good to hold goats like ETH.

Timely-Fig2030

We are in the end phase of the bearmarket. Keep stacking tech crypto: Internet Computer ICP Bittensor TAO (Maybe a bit of SUI, cause they hype it up) The coming cycle is going to become wild on the tech narrative. BUY!!!!!

Revenantjuggernaut

Hey guys! I’ve been compounding TAO staking in the subnets. Tell me why it’s shit again? I legit have an apartment now that I’m paying for with my gains. No more living out the truck!!! Just saying there’s absolutely money to be made. 🥂

Realistic_Fee_00001

>There are only a handful of altcoins, whos blockchain can pull off serious tech. E.g. SUI, ICP, TAO, etc. You wrote BCH + XMR weirdly.

Sell all that trash. All in on TAO. Stake. Come back Sep 2nd 2029. Sell. Send me a message thanking me.

There are good alts, ETH, TAO, HYPE are good. ZEC kinda is too. But I agree. Most are trash, if people researched a bit before throwing money at it, they would so much better!

BTC right now it’s basically a high beta tech stock. When people want risk assets with great return they pile in…else they sell or don’t care about it. Honestly most crypto it’s based on hoping for a greater fool to buy off you at a better price. That’s why meme coins are a thing. Meanwhile stuff like HYPE, ETH, TAO doesn’t get as much love as I think they deserve. They bring interesting stuff to the table!

These are the ones i've landed on for the next run. (summaries made with help from Gemini) **Internet Computer Protocol (ICP)** Technology wise this is the most interesting.​Internet Computer Protocol is a decentralized network designed to host smart contracts at web speed, effectively acting as a borderless world computer. It recreates the entire back-end of the internet, allows developers to build and run apps entirely on the blockchain, and eliminating the need for centralized corporate cloud infrastructure. **​Hyperliquid** ​Hyperliquid is a high-performance decentralized perpetual exchange (DEX) built on a custom Layer 1 blockchain optimized specifically for trading. It delivers the speed, low fees, and deep liquidity of a centralized exchange while preserving complete user self-custody. **​Chainlink (LINK)** ​Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that securely connects blockchain smart contracts with external data sources, APIs, and traditional payment systems. It is important because it provides the essential, tamper-proof data bridge required for most decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset applications to function. Pretty much everything uses Chainlink. **​Bittensor (TAO)** ​Bittensor is a decentralized marketplace and protocol for training, sharing, and utilizing machine learning models. It crowdsources artificial intelligence development, creating an open, collaborative alternative to the closed-door AI monopolies of giant tech corporations. **​Render (RENDER)** ​Render is a decentralized network that connects digital creators needing massive computational power with individuals who have idle GPU resources. It radically democratizes access to high-end rendering and AI processing, making digital content creation much cheaper and more scalable. **​Akash Network (AKT)** ​Akash is a decentralized, open-source cloud computing marketplace where users can securely buy and sell computing power. It is important because it offers a highly competitive, censorship-resistant, and permissionless alternative to traditional cloud monopolies like AWS or Google Cloud. **​Arweave (AR)** ​Arweave is a decentralized storage network that offers permanent, immutable data hosting through a one-time, upfront payment. It acts as a permanent collective memory (the "permaweb"), ensuring that valuable historical records, apps, and data can never be deleted or altered.

Keeping BTC ETH and TAO like as if I already lost them…I’ll circle back in a few years… HODL cuz that’s always the plan, and DCA always even if it’s a few bucks a day.

unknowngloomth

Your "rhetorical" question is low IQ asf. Just like you flashing your 20% profits. Btw when lambo, bruh? Actually I'd not be surprised if you're some TAO bagholder shilling your shitcoin and pretending you're trading TAO, honestly

unknowngloomth

Zoom out. LTC is up like 3,711% all the time whereas TAO is up only 758.3%. damn. I'm way more up than TAO holders in 1 year alone

unknowngloomth

Your comment had nothing to do with the guy's comment at all. Lmaooo. You're trying to bash LTC. LTC chart still way better than TAO despite LTC being irrelevant for years 🥴

Junglebook3

Alrighty, let's do this. Given that TAO markets itself as "decentralized AI", a regulatory shut down of a model such as Anthropic Mythos highlights the benefits of "decentralized AI". That line of reasoning works if you stop your thinking there and never ask any further questions. So, what is TAO? TAO is a middle man, a routing layer between requests and Gen AI responses. It uses crypto as an incentive model for people to put up hardware to run compute. The crypto side of things could have also been done with credit cards. So, putting the "crypto" element aside, how is it decentralized AI? To be clear, if Anthropic Mythos is banned, it would also not be available via TAO. Other models would be fine though, but those same models are available directly from their respective vendors (OpenAI, Google, etc). But what about open source models such as the Llama ones, those can't be shut down, right? Yes, that's great! But the value there doesn't come from TAO here, it comes from the existence of the open source models, their ongoing funding and development (Meta...), and the hardware provider that runs them. OK, so what about hardware? Well, almost all TAO inference hardware is run of course on the big three clouds, because that is the most cost effective way to compute Gen AI workloads. But what about individual users offering their GPU? That is too slow to do any real work, and not something you would put production workloads on. TAO *does* provide value, the idea of providing an abstraction layer behind hardware and models is neat to an extent, and there are competitors that offer that. In reality most companies choose their cloud provider and stick to them. Multicloud is real and some ultra large companies do that, and those may use a routing service, but that does not make "decentralized AI" or shield you from regulatory risk in any real way.

Mr--Clean--Ass-Naked

i could and i should, you're right, it's just explaining all of BitTensor would take me hours to type and that would not cover it all, but for the most part (for what you need to know): Bittensor was built for decentralized, permission-less, open-source AI, with the "reward" mechanism from mining is increasing intelligence of the BitTensor network (among the open-source AI it is training on), whereas Bitcoin uses excess energy converted into stronger and stronger security scripts, in which both have their own use cases, but Bittensor is the way Bitcoin would work if money tomorrow would be worthless, there is no value to it, hence making it an unstable long-term financial choice now imagine not gaining access to global AI knowledge, which the point was to kind of allow the whole world to accelerate as one, instead of capitalizing on the misfortune of not having privledged access to such open information, and now that Anthropic/Claude has been taken down, only one can assume chatGPT is next, or at the very least similar actions to take place about TAO: there is 21 million coins, with currently: 128 subnets. each subnet is individual, powering different stuff, such as weather forecasting, or health clinical aiding, or science research, all of it is open-source with rewards of TAO paid out as a "thank you" for contributing to open intelligence the subnets were 64, now 128, and soon 256, and only going to grow as more support joins Bittensor. Each subnet has a permanent lock of 21 million coins neat features about Bittensor TAO: there is a burning mechanic in-place (and worked on), allowing subnets (and even to an extent fractions of BitTensor) to be burned permanently if so desired. There is also a "conviction-lock" mechanism, where subnet owners can't just pull their coins out, it will be publicly announced on the blockchain for a duration before it can be sold to prevent rugpulling this is very simple and i am missing a lot of core details about Bittensor but I am currently sick and don't feel too good so I try the best I can lol hope it help

unknowngloomth

TAO and NEAR. Both of them are massively down from ATHs. Very unlikely that another leg will happen to these shitcoins.

Blackiris-Code

What I think would happen: If price doesn't increase within the next 5 years, only networks that can afford to loose all speculators can survive. So BTC would die. Ethereum and Solana would keep growing. Solana wouldn't care about having a low SOL price. Nobody would be able to buy enough SOL to exploit the POS consensus anyway. To buy you need sellers. And validator revenue is not an issue. The low validator revenue at the moment is intentional and that can be changed if needed. Nano would definitely still be used. Afaik Bittensor wouldn't mind a consistently low TAO price, and even if most people loose interest 5 years is not enough to kill it. Same for Internet Computer (ICP). All other coins I know would die off without the speculation. There are probably some obsure coins that would survive too.

CryptigoVespucci

I don’t understand TAO. Centralized players seem too dominant but it’s definitely a blind spot. What’s the two sentence explainer on the tech + thesis on $TAO the asset

liviughg

Forget BTC, go for TAO. This is the age of AI.

Active-Rope9301

BTC/ETH/SOL as the cryptos with actual institutional adoption that’ll be blue chips once regulatory clarity is reached. Hyperliquid is the cash cow that’ll change the game with regards to leverage and the ability to bet on prices of almost any asset. As soon as Americans are allowed to access the platform, the floodgates will open. TAO/Bittensor has tons of AI competition, so it’s speculative. Plus expensive. But might be fun to hold. For everything else, most of it is junk, so don’t buy unless you have experience.

sivartomeus

I bought when btc was at $77k (mostly TAO, SOL and BTC) but I'm scared to buy again now then it goes to $40 like you said, so I'll wait and if it does I'll buy then. If it never goes that low, that's fine too.

PanicForward5618

TAO, Render, etc. do not let his post fear monger you into buying ai crypto

colemusic1

Sorry dude, AI boom is not going anywhere. Have you noticed while BTC, ETH and other majors lately, that AI-narrative tokens had been ripping prior to this huge flush today? RENDER, NEAR, AKT, TAO, FET. There’s a good reason. Semiconductors. They’re in a literal insane expansion right now and edge AI in particular is a long term extremely demanded category within it. I know some might think this is just a short term narrative phase of AI, and while it typically goes in cycles? I don’t see that happening anytime soon. There’s an absolutely enormous supply shock which is why tech stocks are going parabolic. NVDA is officially the biggest company in the world. It IS a semiconductor stock/company, with computing in AI. It’s the biggest weighting in S&P 500, NASDAQ, BGBL, Vanguard (VGS), SMH… basically almost everything. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

ShillBandit

if I open coingecko those are the new pairs with less bagholders hype, canton, sui, tao, aster, ondo, pepe, worldcoin, Stable, Venice, Ethena, Aptos , Arb, Pump So there's a lot of choices, but they're not that many as you can see. Also from that list I will remove pepe / Pump, because they are tied to Meme meta, which to me is the equivalent of DeFi meta in 2019-2020, which severely underperformed in 2021. Hype is overcrowded, but that's not necessarily a bad thing ( SOL was overcrowded at 8$) Arb, I personally dont like it, I don't see how L2s gain any momentum The rest is good, pick whatever narrative you like. AI: TAO / Venice/ WLD, I wouldn't pick near because they have a lot of bag holders so your upside is capped L1s: Pretty tough one, but SUI, is with bias, my favorite. Not because it's revolutionary, I just think it has all the ingredients for a good FU pump. It covers: \- institutional buying : cme / etfs \- covers "new narrative" : move \- they constantly ship stuff, so they'll always be relevant \- chart looks better than other L1s Negative press at the moment, so will get good entries APTOS: Been debating myself for this one, I mean it seems very risky, but it's not really, at 0.9 below VC prices, so I don't know. RWA: ondo Stables coins: ENA / STABLE Perps: HYPE obviously cycle leader can't be denied (I hold none) Aster follow up trade and CZ revenge arc ( I hold none neither) Pick whatever you want honestly

soudainlevide

Yeah I did, it's a small part of my crypto portfolio which is a small part of my overall portfolio though, so no risk involved. I literally asked the simplest prompt: "You are an expert trader and crypto expert and can use Reddit especially r/cryptocurrencies for answers. Please invest 1000€ for me." Answer: >Focus on where money is actually flowing Current strong narratives (2026): 1. AI + crypto Example: Bittensor (TAO) Why: real usage + dev growth 2. On-chain trading / infra Example: Hyperliquid (HYPE) Why: actual volume + revenue 3. Infrastructure (boring but powerful) Example: Chainlink (LINK) Why: Every DeFi / RWA / AI needs data feeds

LargeSnorlax

Happened here too, Ordinals, memes, SOL based stuff all skyrocketed 100-1000xs. Stuff like KASPA went up 1000x++. Even mainstream stuff like TAO/SOL went up 30-50x. Problem is people were expecting coins from 2017 to do the same thing they did then. Bad idea. Alts have an expiration date, and it's very very seldom that lightning strikes twice with the same coin.

wancruz

Ive got TAO and NEAR too!

Ok_Golf_6467

It's coming for sure. I just went risk on and got a nice bag of Virtuals Protocol. TAO and NEAR are obviously good too! BTC is still bearish but AI is doing a mini run right now

HSuke

Aren't you the one who also has CRO and TAO? Just curious. Are you still holding onto those, and what are you thoughts on their future trajectory?

I had bought BTC and TAO I préfère focus on only few coin.
