Everyone has a podcast now. I had one before it was cool. I had one after it was no longer cool.

I’ve talked about basically everything you can think of.

I even did one with a guy who worked for Pablo Escobar, got shot down mid-flight, and escaped prison more times than I’ve switched careers.

That one actually did really well.

But this one? This one feels different.

I’m starting a new podcast called The TAO Pod—and no, it’s not about Eastern philosophy or meditation.

TAO stands for Bittensor, the decentralized AI network nobody is talking about. Yet.

The first episode just released: “Will Bittensor Be Bigger Than Bitcoin?” (Link below.)

Today, I’m going to give you the gist.

Bigger Than Bitcoin?

As you know, Elon Musk is building superintelligence in a giant warehouse in Memphis, Tennessee.

He’s using 200,000 Nvidia GPUs and billions of dollars in hardware, real estate, energy, and talent.

Meanwhile… a group of pseudonymous developers—people you’ve never heard of, some probably wearing Crocs and eating cereal at 2am—are quietly doing the same thing.

Except they’re doing it cheaper. Smarter. And they’re not asking for permission.

They’re not raising venture capital. They’re not begging Nvidia.

They’re doing it through something called Bittensor — and it might be the biggest thing I’ve ever seen in crypto.

So what is Bittensor? It’s a decentralized AI network.

Think of it like Bitcoin. Except instead of just securing transactions, Bittensor incentivizes people around the world to provide things like compute power, AI models, training data, and even agents.

BitTensor turns all the raw ingredients of AI—GPUs, data, models, training tasks—into digital commodities.

Anyone can supply them. Anyone can use them. And everyone gets rewarded based on how useful they are.

Want to build an AI chatbot? A hedge fund trading model? A healthcare assistant? A social media bot army? You don’t need $10 million. You don’t even need to know how to code.

You just plug into the right “subnet”—kind of like a decentralized startup—and the system does the heavy lifting.

It’s Uber for AI compute. YouTube for data. AWS for open-source intelligence.

Nobody is Talking About This… Yet.

And here’s the crazy part: one subnet, Shoots, is already serving 150 billion tokens per day.

To be clear, I’m not talking about crypto tokens like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

I’m talking about language tokens — as in pieces of text.

Think of tokens as the raw material large language models (like ChatGPT or Grok) use to think, predict, and generate responses.

So when I say Shoots is serving 150 billion tokens per day, it means people and apps are sending and receiving 150 billion chunks of language through their AI interface every 24 hours.

That’s a massive amount of activity — equivalent to running a high-traffic chatbot, search engine, or virtual assistant… at scale.

That’s more than OpenAI was doing a few months ago. And almost no one knows it exists.

So I sat down with Joseph Jacks — one of the smartest people I’ve ever spoken to about this — and we tried to answer a simple but mind-blowing question:

Is BitTensor the New Internet?

We also talked about:

• Why Subnet 13 is quietly becoming the Reddit firehose hedge funds have always dreamed of.

• Why TAO—the token that powers this whole thing— could mint more millionaires than Bitcoin ever did.

• And how you could realistically launch an AI company from your kitchen table, for less than the cost of a Starbucks order.

No VC. No gatekeepers. Just code, compute, and capitalism—redesigned.

If you’ve ever felt like you missed Bitcoin, or OpenAI, or the internet itself… this might be your second shot.

We’re early. Think 1994 internet — back when you had to explain what “email” was. But this time, you don’t have to wait for someone to build the browser.

The front door is here. You just haven’t opened it yet.

So check out the first episode of The TAO Pod.
