Still learning about #Bittensor, but so far this is the first thing since $BTC, and maybe Ethereum, that genuinely feels different. Bitcoin was decentralized money. Ethereum was decentralized finance. Could bittensor:native become decentralized intelligence? That’s the thesis I’m betting on anyway, after watching some of @Jason's pods and following @proofoftalk, so I’ve rotated roughly $100K worth of Bitcoin into bittensor:native. Just in case it catches on. 9% APY definitely helps too btw ⚔️

In an age of overexposure and at a time of ever-more unsettling dependence on the algorithms and tracking of Big Tech, is the ability to be invisible a new and definitive flex? ft.trib.al/8LUghOH

🚨 JUST IN: Anthropic’s Mythos AI completed a security audit of Zcash and found no additional serious vulnerabilities, according to founder Zooko Wilcox.

Access to intelligence should not depend on a handful of companies or governments. This is why open, decentralized, permissionless AI matters. This is why Bittensor matters.

INSIGHT: $TAO surged 17.2%, partly driven by growing demand for decentralized AI alternatives following the suspension of Claude’s Fable 5.

Unstoppable, uncensorable, global decentralized AI seems like a good investment bet to make. The “Bitcoin of AI” so to say…

“I have never been as convinced that privacy tokens, and Zcash in particular, we’re going to wake up one day and people are going to realize financial privacy is important to them, and oh wow, there’s a version of Bitcoin that’s private.”

access to frontier AI can be shut off overnight that’s the whole decentralized private AI thesis watching bittensor:native and base:0xacfe6019ed1a7dc6f7b508c02d1b04ec88cc21bf closely here

The US Government has given #Bittensor the best endorsement it could ever ask for They proved the entire thesis for why we need permissionless and decentralised AI Anthropic were forced by the Government to suspend access to Fable and Mythos models for any foreign nationals.. It doesn't matter what you think of Anthropic morals.. what the Governments reasons were.. whether the model was dangerous or not.. The point is.. Closed AI can be switched off We’ve been banging this drum in #bittensor for four years now If frontier intelligence can be restricted.. it will be restricted.. If access can be gatekept.. it will 100% be gatekept If a small group of powerful men and women can decide who gets intelligence and who doesn’t.. they will absolutely use that power This is exactly why bittensor:native matters Intelligence is just too important to have it sit behind permissioned walls controlled by governments and corporations #Bittensor is the fight against this.. Open.. permissionless.. incentivised True open intelligence built by the people.. for the good of the people This Anthropic news is proof that those fears are no longer theoretical.. This shit is real.. the door just got slammed The pure reason #bittensor exists.. is so the world has another one to walk through bittensor:native

RT @zooko: Thanks, Anthropic, for helping protect Zcash users. At Shielded Labs’s request, they ran a security audit of Zcash with Mythos.…

This fly-in was one of the highlights of my entire career working in DC on policy around the Hill for the last 25 years. Amazing job @DCGco. Thank you for including me and for your enduring support for Zcash! @zodl_co

Great to see DCG subsidiaries @Grayscale and @FoundryServices on the inaugural @FortuneMagazine Crypto 100 list, along with many of our portfolio companies, such as @krakenfx, @BitGo, @Figure, @Uniswap, @Circle, @Paxos, @Chainalysis, @Ledger, @OndoFinance & more. Zcash $ZEC recognized as a Top 10 protocol. Our fantastic companies have been building essential infrastructure for more than a decade fortune.com/ranking/crypto/2…

Our latest @HarrisPoll data highlights strong voter demand for financial privacy protections and clear digital asset policy framework Financial privacy is a core feature of a free and open financial system. Zcash $ZEC is already delivering it

NEW POLL: Voters that see crypto as a major election issue has doubled in the last two years from 20% in 2024 to 40% in 2026 With @HarrisPoll, we polled registered voters and found that Americans have embraced digital assets & want financial privacy theblockchainassociation.org…

This week, we're in Washington, D.C. for the 2026 DCG Fly-In, where we bring together our founders with lawmakers on the Hill to discuss moving digital asset policy and financial privacy forward Stay tuned, new voter data from @HarrisPoll out tomorrow #DCGFlyIn

Our #1 @proofoftalk 2026 takeaway: The "just talk" phase is over. We've entered Bittensor's era of real-world adoption. Top subnets are shipping real products, delivering valuable intelligence at cost-leader pricing, and fully integrated into clients' businesses: from SaaS to home hardware to data centers to gas stations. Some examples:

Grayscale Hyperliquid Staking ETF (Ticker: $HYPG) is now trading - $HYPG is the $HYPE ETP with the lowest gross management fee in the U.S.¹ and staking. Just $HYPE exposure where the rest of your portfolio already lives. Hyperliquid.

INSIGHT: @Zcash developers have finalized consensus rule changes for the Ironwood upgrade, targeting late July. The new pool will be formally verified before activation, mathematically proving no counterfeit $ZEC exists before the fix goes live.

I’m excited to announce that PGP* (Pretty Good Policy) for Crypto is pivoting into PGP* (Pretty Good Policy) for Zcash, or PGPZ. PGPZ is a Washington, D.C. policy initiative focused on privacy-preserving digital cash, practical compliance, and the public-interest role of Zcash. The goal is simple: make sure Zcash has serious, organized, and credible policy engagement in Washington. Policymakers are making decisions that will affect whether privacy-preserving digital cash can exist, be used lawfully, and serve the public interest. PGPZ is about ensuring Zcash is understood, represented, and defended in those conversations. PGPZ will focus on three exciting pillars: 1. Focused Convenings We will continue the PGP* policy convening series in a more Zcash-focused format, bringing policymakers together with experts on privacy-preserving digital cash, practical compliance, civil liberties, and public-interest technology. The Cypherpunk Policy Dinner on October 21 will be a key example of this pillar in action. 2. Community and Member Resources We are creating a broader home for Zcash policy updates, resources, programming, and community-led coordination so that people interested in Zcash policy work can stay informed and get involved. 3. The PGPZ Coalition We are organizing a smaller, action-oriented working group of policy professionals and active advocates focused on policymaker education, advocacy strategy, and practical engagement around Zcash. Privacy-preserving digital cash needs credible advocates. Financial privacy is not a partisan issue; it is a civil liberties and human rights issue. PGPZ is one way we are helping ensure that message is heard clearly by policymakers. More details, programming, and participation information are coming soon. pgpz.org
