_ hashrate ↔ security ↔ trust _
bitcoin proves it's possible to bootstrap a decentralized network using financial incentives

 _ utility ↔ reputation ↔ TAO rewards _
bittensor evolves this idea to say: don’t just pay for wasted energy (hashes) pay for useful work that has real-world value (AI, ML models). applies bitcoin's incentive layer to a data market, not just a money ledger

bitcoin incentivizes security through energy. bittensor incentivizes intelligence through utility. both align individual profit-seeking behavior with network value creation, but bittensor adds semantic feedback loops: you're not just proving you worked, you're proving you *helped*
