You want mission-driven servant leaders? 

What’s the avg. founder stake for VC / pre-mined tokens? 20%? 15%? Usually way more.

Bitcoin’s Satoshi owns 5% and that’s considered THE MOST fair launch project.

… Bittensor’s founders (Ala Shaabana and Jacob Steeves) barely own 2% collectively.

More than a dozen teams are earning > $1M "mining" (aka making open source AI models) on the Bittensor network. Subnet 9 incentivizes the production of pre-training outputs. The top miner there is earning > $12 million a year.. 

Seriously, folks (AI / ML devs / builders)... What are you waiting for?

✨ 🚀 💫

In early 2018, A16z started investing in crypto.. since then, “Web3” startups raised > $100 Billion in VC.

How much of that cash has returned even 1X so far??

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has 10X’d.. Hundreds of billions in missed returns.

There will be a similar dynamic in AI.
