The Louvre!

The place where the Mona Lisa hangs out. The museum that holds more cultural turning points than any other building in history.

I’m in a brand-new documentary called The Art of Disruption: Bittensor and the New Intelligence Economy.

It was filmed while I was in Paris at the Proof of Talk conference—held at the Louvre—and was released just this week.

I’ll break down why I’m so bullish on Bittensor. And why you should check it out.

From Internet → Bitcoin → Bittensor

Every once in a while, a “virgin landscape” opens up.

In the ’80s, it was coding. Anyone who mastered it could become a billionaire.

In the ’90s, it was the internet. Then the smartphone app boom.

Then crypto. Ethereum.

Now? It’s decentralized AI.

That’s what Bittensor is. A global marketplace where intelligence itself becomes a commodity.

Think of it this way:

• Bitcoin turned electricity into money.

• Ethereum turned contracts into code.

• Bittensor turns intelligence into a marketplace you can actually build businesses on.

It’s not hype. It’s not theory. I’ve seen it firsthand. I talked to a lot of people in the documentary.

It was one of the turning points where I became so bullish on TAO.

Why the Documentary Matters

In the film, you’ll hear from Jacob Steeves (the founder), PhDs, GPU architects, hedge fund managers, open-source venture capitalists, and subnet builders doing things like drug discovery, 3D design, and large-scale compute.

Some of them compared TAO to “digital commodities.” Others said it’s “digital capitalism.” One called it “as big as the internet.”

Me? I predicted this: “The first one-person billion-dollar business will be built inside the TAO ecosystem.”

And I believe that.

Why? Because the infrastructure is already here.

Bittensor gives you access to tens of thousands of GPUs — more than what OpenAI used to create ChatGPT. Only instead of raising $100 billion in Silicon Valley, you can spin up a subnet, incentivize miners, and build an AI startup for relative pennies.

That arbitrage is insane. And it won’t last forever.

Obsession = Success

Here’s what else I noticed in Paris: the community is obsessed.

And obsession is the one common ingredient in every massive success story I’ve ever seen.

Bitcoiners were obsessed. Internet pioneers were obsessed. App store kids were obsessed.

Now? The Bittensor community is obsessed.

Not with price charts (okay, maybe a little), but with building.

New billion-dollar subnet ideas are popping up every week. Some are already competing with centralized incumbents and winning. Others are experimenting with things nobody’s ever tried.

It’s the kind of messy, experimental, chaotic energy that actually changes the world.

The Louvre Was the Perfect Backdrop

The Louvre has always been about capturing civilization’s turning points in art.

The Renaissance. The Enlightenment. Revolutions and upheavals.

This time, the “art” isn’t on the walls. It’s in the code. It’s in the incentives. It’s in the people building crazy, ambitious things on Bittensor subnets.

That’s why it was the perfect place for this documentary.

And why — if you’re reading this — it might be the perfect time to dive deeper.

Look, I’m not saying everyone should buy TAO. What I am saying is: pay attention. Virgin landscapes don’t open up often. When they do, they don’t stay “virgin” for long.
