BITTENSOR: AI's Bitcoin Moment

by Elizabeth Freeman

Bittensor is a revolutionary protocol designed to decentralize artificial intelligence (AI), drawing direct inspiration from Bitcoin’s principles of scarcity, decentralization, and sound economics. At its core, Bittensor seeks to address the systemic failures of centralized AI systems—the “Intelligence Fiat”—which mirror the pitfalls of state-controlled fiat currency. These centralized systems concentrate power in a few corporations and governments, stifling innovation, creating economic inefficiencies, and introducing political risks such as censorship. By contrast, much like how Bitcoin redefined money through its fixed supply and proof-of-work consensus, Bittensor proposes to transform AI into a decentralized, scarce digital commodity governed by market-driven incentives.
It is the fight for a free and open AI future.
