Revenue Search: Inside BittensorTalking Tao: with Bittensor Guru Keith SingerySiam and Mark sit down with Keith Singery, host of the Bittensor Guru podcast, who admits he once rage-quit Bittensor, only to get re-hooked a month later. Keith talks about swapping a 12-year supply chain career for psychedelic soul-searching, mushroom experiments, and finally staking his future on open intelligence. He breaks down how capital really comes into the ecosystem, why one breakout subnet will change everything, and why he puts Ridges at the front of the pack. He doesn’t sugarcoat it: deregistration will shred 40–50 subnets, only the strongest teams will survive, and price charts are...
