8. If you had to describe it in simple terms, what’s made you so bullish on bittensor vs other projects?

Are you still bullish on non-AI DePINs? Does your answer change for hardware vs software based?

answer below

There are numerous non-AI/compute DePINs I'm still bullish on like Hivemapper, Helium, and DIMO. But TBH, I haven't seen many new DePIN projects emerge that are doing anything novel or really interesting. Most are just copying blue chip depins. But this will change and there are exciting areas like decentralized energy

- extremely talented individuals mining
- Const's magnetic charisma and ability to get ppl to follow him
- fairlaunch; this matters more than ppl think when skeptical AI folks are the target (supply and demand) of the network
- generalizability of the protocol
- novelty of yuma consensus
- btc-like ethos
