Is anybody else feeling this way? I’ll admit it: I have severe PTSD from round tripping my 7-figure crypto bags back to low 6 figures last cycle. And my PTSD has only INCREASED from this bull run, which hasn’t been easy to navigate by ANY stretch of the imagination. Every rally feels like a fake out to me. Every time my portfolio starts ripping, I’m not believing it and waiting for the next show to fall that sends my bags down 25%-40% in a heartbeat. It takes weeks for tokens to move 100% higher and 1-2 days to completely erase those gains and send them lower than where they started at the 100% move. Feels very much like 1 step forward, 2 steps back kind of situation. I’m praying with every fiber of my being that this bull run isn’t finished. That BTC hasn’t topped yet. That alts still have one massive euphoric multi-month run left in them. That the FED doesn’t shit on our parade with their actions or their tone towards the economy and rates. I’m having flashbacks of late 2021 when the fed came out and said they would start raising rates in 2022, and every dipshit “expert” crypto analyst I followed disregarded that and claimed that there would be an elongated crypto bull cycle bc “iNsTiTutIoNs & eL sAlvAdOrE aRe bUyIng nOw” so “tHis tiMe iT’s diFfEReNt!” I keep telling myself this is Jan 2025, which is analogous to Jan 2021, and there SHOULD be a lot of bull run to go before it all goes to shit. The fed is still cutting rates at least for now. Trump comes in Jan 20th which should provide a huge boost for all risk on assets including crypto as he pushes for low rates and a weaker dollar again. And that BTC hasn’t shown much confluence of topping indicators to make the case that its topped out for this cycle. But I don’t know if I’m telling myself a story that fits what I want to believe, or if I’m being logical. Or both. 🤷 I’ve said this to my friends and family before and I’ll say it again: I HATE crypto bull runs. While I don’t LOVE bear markets, they are EASY to navigate once you know you’re in one. And they present incredible opportunities to research and buy projects that no one is looking at and no one cares about bc the whole world believes crypto is dead except the biggest degens like myself. Bear markets are just research, buy, hold, stake and chill. Bull markets on the other hand are chaotic, vicious, and they make you second guess and doubt yourself at every turn. “Am I in the right projects?” “Shit! I missed that one and it’s up 10,000% in a month! How the fuck did I miss that?” “Every token is ripping higher but mine. I don’t want to chase green candles but I also don’t want to miss the opportunity to be in a project that can retire me in a year”. And then throw on top of that the tens of thousands of new projects popping up, most of which are rug pulls and scams. Throw in crazy crashes, black swan events like Israel/iran, Covid, etc. Throw in 8 month long dips and accumulation zones that tire you out and make you question whether you’re still in a bull run or not. Content creators pumping this token and that token. And there’s simply not enough $ to buy them all and most of these KOLs are pieces of shit that want to dump their bags on you as exit liquidity anyway. Bull markets are insane and so draining. I can’t fucking wait to GTFO of this. Hopefully with life changing profits this time around. That way when I get back in during the next bear, it will just be with an amount of money that is negligible to me rather than my life savings. This shit has aged me 10 years since the start of 2024. Is anybody else feeling this way?

The best part about dTAO launching on Bittensor by far is that the constant sell pressure in the $TAO token from subnet owners and miners has abated. Which is why you’re seeing strength in TAO today while the rest of the market bleeds out following bitcoin Selling pressure from those entities is the reason why TAO is not in four digits today They have been dumping on us in every rally They can’t do that anymore because in order to sell TO tokens, they have to sell their own sub net tokens to convert to TAO tokens so that they can sell those TAO tokens on an exchange to get USD or any other Fiat. If they sell their subnet tokens, they get penalized with lower emissions from the network moving forward They can sell a little bit, but if they sell too much, they get penalized, harshly, and it could spell the end of their subnet on the network if their emissions go too low Also, if they sell their own subnet token retail investors who are staking to their subnet, will also sell the token and drive it to near zero This is in stark contrast to the way things were set up in this ecosystem before the launch of dTAO. Prior to the launch of dTAO, every subnet and miner received plenty of emissions every day whether they did good work or not, whether their services and products were quality and generated revenue or not, and they were able to freely sell those emissions of TAO tokens on the market, dumping constantly on us with ZERO consequences for doing so. Were they funding their operations or buying themselves Lambos? Who knows? What we DO know is that many of these subnets have very poor marketing and almost no web and social media presence. so what were they doing with this money? The subnets who will be successful in this new ecosystem are the subnets who can somehow generate revenue without selling TAO tokens or who can sustain themselves without selling TAO tokens until their product or service generates revenue. In other words, only the strong will survive. Only the best of the best project will make it in this ecosystem. Only the projects that add true value with their AI products and service services will make it. Overall, this is a win for TAO and for Bittensor in the short, medium and long-term. It does make it a treacherous landscape for the current 65 subnets. Essentially, they need to shit or get off the pot so to speak. No more free lunch. Do you see how this changes everything?

Imagine this scenario: $TAO rips to $3000 in the span of a month. Subnets dip hard during that time bc everyone wants to be in TAO to take profits. The ones who stubbornly hold their subnet tokens during this time will be down so significantly in TAO tokens that they feel like they can’t sell the subnets now. Maybe they had 50% or 60% more TAO tokens before they started investing in subnets. They think “how can I sell here? I have to hold until my subnets come back”. Sure enough - a a few months later, subnet prices recover, but now $TAO price has crashed to sub $1k due to the bear market having kicked in and it’s going lower every day along with the rest of crypto. Now they’re thinking “what’s the point of swapping back to TAO now? I missed my opportunity to take profits. Might as well hold now. This is how round trips happen. And they are devastating to a person’s emotional health. Trust me. I was that guy in 2021. I round tripped a multi million dollar bag back down to $250k at its lowest point in 2022. I assure you. Not a good feeling. Don’t think this can happen to you? Think again. This happens to most participants in the crypto space. It seems to me like we are moving quickly now into the final blast off phase for crypto. Be very careful out there guys. The best case scenario is that Tao rips and subnets prices Rip along with it. But that is far from guaranteed.

A few months ago when the $eth etf was approved, I decided to take a large leveraged position in ETH with low to moderate 6X leverage. My avg cost was around $3477. My liquidation price was around $2900. This has proven to be one of the worst financial decisions of my life. After several months of watching eth go almost straight down, and having to liquidate several spot positions in other tokens to lower my liquidation price on this eth trade, I finally succumbed and took my lumps today when eth traded through my liquidation price of $2797. I lost $189k of my hard earned money in that trade and I have no one to blame but myself. I was enamoured by the prospects of what the ETF would do for the price of ETH and felt it was a very safe trade relative to other trade setups. I didn’t think the downside would be even close to this. My major mistake was believing in the bull cycle and disregarding what is happening around the world and in the US. It’s literal economic and geopolitical pandemonium. I don’t know if we will have a bull run in crypto. I still have my $TAO bag and a huge bag of $AIUS. But my portfolio has taken an absolute clobbering. Time for me to turn off this part of my life for a while. This leveraged position has taken a huge toll on my emotional physical health. I’m checking out of crypto for a while.

I have removed some people from the $TAO community. I won’t tolerate spammers or scammers in here. Post things only related to TAO and TAO only or you will be removed.

$TAO is up over 83% since the low of $167 on April 6th. Less of than a few weeks ago. 👀

Well, I finally got burned by subnet investing and am now down over 100 $TAO. I misdiagnosed the bottom a month ago and started loading up with a new plan to hold for a while instead of taking profits frequently that helped Me make so much $ in may and early June. I wholeheartedly believe prices will bounce back though. I think there is just simply not enough awareness or interest from the crypto community in Bittensor subnet investing. I know it will change though. There is just too much goodness happening in the ecosystem for it not to pop off hard at some point. I’m down but not out. Scared money don’t make no money.

dTAO Subnet directory and descriptions. $TAO Bittensor subnets are revolutionary. This 🧵 is going to be a living, breathing directory of each subnet, in numerical order. The point of it is to break down what each subnet does and its value proposition IN LAYMEN’s terms so that anyone can understand. Bookmark this thread. It will help you with your subnet investing journey.

Has the $TAO community caught on to this yet? SN10 sturdy is about to take us to Valhalla. About a $7mm mkt cap rt now even with this tiny pump from this news. This has 5x written all over it once people understand that they are facilitating the wrapped subnet tokens on $SOL $ETH BASE and other chains It’s going to bring 10X the volume we are currently seeing in the subnet tokens. Powered by subnet 10. Sturdy.

I think I may have caught the bottom in subnets today at 1.71 total sum. Bought chutes, gradients, Templar, taohash, kaito, sturdy. Almost every one of them has gone straight up since then and now total some of subnet prices is 1.79. LFG!

I have never seen sentiment so bad on dTAO subnet investing as it is today. We’ve got diehard $TAO investors, and supporters of the network and avid investors in Alpha tokens that have capitulated and sold at or near the lows. I admit this is a scary and seemingly hopeless situation because of how long this downtrend has lasted and how brutal it has been But I’m going to maintain my stance: - This is a brand, new ecosystem, the first of its kind. I think it’s going to take some time to gain serious traction. - there are probably 30 or more out of the 128 subnets that are legitimate groundbreaking, artificial intelligence companies within the network, producing amazing tools and services, generating revenue, working with actual clients who pay them, and producing more than 99.9% of the “AI “crypto project out there” - emissions don’t bother me. Yes they cause an imbalance between Cell Pressure and by Pressure early on in the protocol like we are right now. But ultimately, once the interest comes and the money comes it will outweigh the cell pressure. This was the same for bitcoin and the same for TAO. The emissions are not a flaw. They are a feature. - all we need is to get proper eyes and attention on subnets. We’re already at a point where it’s much easier to buy subnet tokens. Thanks to sturdy and void AI. - I maintain that selling here is a fool’s errand. There is value in the subnets. Selling at the bottom and in Max fear is the exact opposite of what makes you money. If you have been sitting on the sidelines now is a great time to get in. If you got in a while ago, and you are down significantly like Myself, now is the time to average down and buy more. Let’s revisit this post in two months

Good question. Here how I trade dTAO $TAO subnets: 1) don’t marry your bags. Look at chutes. Awesome subnet. Has done nothing but go straight down for months on end. I put a screenshot of the CHUTES chart here. Imagine holding through all of that while other subnets are popping off and making new high after new high? (Although, to me it looks like the CHUTES chart may have bottomed and I’m thinking of dabbling in it here). But if the chart is going straight down, don’t be afraid to shift out of there and jump into a subnet that has stronger price action. 2) pay attention to the ecosystem. It’s very event driven. A key announcement. A subnet dereg or change of ownership. A huge partnership. These are all catalysts that spark huge rallies in alpha tokens. Plug in and stay informed. 3) be decisive. When you see a subnet start to pop off from any of the above, even if it’s already up 20% that day, buy it. When something good happens, and a subnet starts running. It usually lasts days to weeks and gives good opportunity. 4) TAKE PROFITS and rotate capital. I take profits every time one of my bags pump. Without exception. With those profits, I’ll do one of 2 things: wait for the same subnet to pull back and re-enter lower, or rotate those profits into another strong subnet I have a position in that has pulled back and I’m down on.

For anyone who thinks that $TAO dTAO subnets are dead, here is my p&l from trading subnets over the last few months. And this does not count the profits I made from Feb 2025-June 2025. All in all, I’ve made over $200k in $TAO trading subnets since dTAO inception. The market got very bad and very glum for a little while. But then it found a bottom. Once I noticed that the bottoms seemed to be in, I jumped back in and very selectively entered strong alpha tokens. The key is to take profits fast and rotate profits into strong tokens on pullbacks.

I have been waiting for almost 3 months now to see subnet 10 STURDY FINANCE show shoes me a reason why I should invest in their subnet. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great project and I love what they are doing with DeFi. But I’ve been wary of buying the subnet token because I know they have their own token outside of the bittensor ecosystem. And now finally, I’m seeing it. They’re using their social media to draw attention to their subnet. And giving an update that they have $250 million at work generating yield. Look at the chart right now. It’s been straight down. Some people might look at that and say “why should I buy? The chart looks awful !” I look at this chart and see opportunity because it’s a very real business And as long as they continue to nurture this subnet by getting active on X with the $TAO community this chart is going to look very, very different shortly. I just initiated a position

I reserve the right to completely change my mind at any time after posting this. I think I’m done playing in dTAO subnets for now. Since Feb, I’ve made $TAO, I’ve lost TAO, and I’m net UP about 250 TAO. But ever since June, the subnets game has become so much harder to play. If you want to make $ playing in the subnets you have to 1) pay very close attn to what is happening in the space. You have to stay plugged in, in discord, telegram, and watching all of the novelty search podcasts as well as several others. 2) be willing to take profits very quickly when you’re right. If you want to make $ in subnets rt now you have to make this shit your full time job and you have to be willing to take profits quickly. If you do that you can make a killing. I just don’t have the time or the patience for that rt now in my life. Long term investors aren’t making $ in dTAO for the most part. Maybe there are a few exceptions. But most are underwater and bleeding away TAO tokens left and right. That I’m SURE will change. But I don’t think it changes anytime soon. Here’s why: This rotten excuse for a bull run will be ending before 2025 is up. That’s not just me speculating. That’s what history tells us from the last 3 bull runs in crypto. Will we have an elongated cycle? A “supercycle”? Maybe but that is total speculation. And that type of speculation has occurred in every other bull run before this one. “This time it’s different”. But it never has been. It’s always been the same: - 1 year of horrific bear. (2014, 2018, 2022, 2026?) - 1 year of stabilization/Recovery. (2015, 2019, 2023, 2027?) - 2 years of bull with blowoff top occurring in 2nd year. (2016-17, 2020-21, 2024-25, 2028-29?) That is how it’s gone for ALL three of the 4 year cycles we’ve had in crypto thus far. That encompasses ALL of the historical data. And every time there were analysts and gurus screaming “this time it’s different”. Could it be different this time? Sure. Maybe. But I sure don’t want to stick around long enough to find out if possible. So, back to my point: it’s now almost mid September. We have about 3.5 months left of this bull run, historically speaking. I refuse to be caught with my pants down, down big on subnets while $TAO is finally realizing its price discovery and trading into 4 digits. I refuse to put myself and my family in a position where I’m not able to take enough profits to change our lives for the better bc I’m stuck in huge subnet positions that just keep bleeding away in value on me bc of the high emissions in subnets. We’re nearing a tipping point and sometime in the next 3.5 months alt coins SHOULD go bananas and give us life changing gains. When that happens, I need to be in a position to maximize my profits. If I’m right, a lot of other smart people in the TAO community are probably thinking the same thing which is one reason why there is still low participation in subnet tokens and so many are still sitting in root despite the dramatically lower APY. If I’m right, 2026 will bring a raging bear market in crypto, and if I take profits in 2025, I’ll have lots of dry powder available in mid 2026 to take advantage of deep discounts on $TAO and many subnets. And at that point I’ll be much more ok with buying good subnets and sitting on those positions for a few years. To me, now just simply isn’t the time to do that. Given where we are in this cycle. Stay safe out there guys. So that’s

Is anybody else feeling this way? I’ll admit it: I have severe PTSD from round tripping my 7-figure crypto bags back to low 6 figures last cycle.

The point of it is to break down what each subnet does and its value proposition IN LAYMEN’s terms so that anyone can understand. Bookmark this thread. It will help you with your subnet investing journey.

🧵 1/2 - Some people I’m connected to on X have reached out to me privately advising me to stop posting about my thoughts on Jews, Israel and Gaza, and asked me why I would jeopardize my growing following in the crypto space by posting about this stuff. So I want to set the record straight: Look at my X profile. I started this account in 2009. I was an early adopter of twitter. I wasn’t into crypto back then. Crypto didn’t even exist back then outside of BTC. So what did I post about? I was a functional medicine practitioner. And I had spent over a decade around that time researching and learning about the human body, how it functions, what causes dysfunction, and how to heal from disease. I was fueled by my mother’s cancer diagnosis and my own nagging health problems that modern medicine seemed to be failing us on every front with. The more I dig into this topic the more I learned that nothing was as it seemed. Modern medicine (and that includes doctors, hospitals, CDC, FDA, AMA, AHA, and every other mainstream health related organization) isn’t designed to create health. It’s designed to create life long customers for their pharmaceutical sponsors. And I learned the our elected representatives are no better. They pass laws that are favorable to pharma companies essentially experimenting on and killing us without ever curing us of anything. I became very vocal about these issues. I became very anti-govt. I spent a lot of time on social media educating the masses about what’s REALLY wrong with our health and how to fix it through lifestyle rather than pills, surgeries, chemo and radiation. And this eventually led me into becoming political bc I saw that the democrats were the main culprits who were pushing all of the pharma backed narratives and trying to MANDATE them on us as time went by. So naturally I swung Republican. Not bc I think the Republican Party is righteous and good. They are not. They’re just the lesser of 2 evils. At least they aren’t trying to mandate to me what I will put in my body or my kid’s bodies. Why am I telling you all this? Bc it’s important to understand that I didn’t start out on X as a crypto influencer (nor do I currently consider myself a crypto influencer, but some call me that). I started out on X as a vocal guy who used the platform to get whatever msg out to the world I wanted to get out. It was my place to release my thoughts into the world. Then came my obsession with crypto. And the more I got into crypto, the larger my base of followers became. At one point last year, I decided to leave behind all other types of posting and focus solely on posting about crypto bc it seemed like that’s what my followers want to see and I want to grow my follower base. Easy enough. At least it was until the crazy levels of antisemitism I’m seeing not only around the world but in my very own country in the US started to come to a fever pitch. I am Jewish. I am super fucking proud to be Jewish. I’m not religious. But I feel a very strong connection to being a Jew. And to Israel. I have family and friends in Israel. I have Israeli friends here in the states where I live. Every Jewish person I know is a good person, doesn’t kill, steal, or cheat people. But for some reason, The world seems to be turning on us yet again, as they did right before the holocaust. Let’s assume the falsehood of there being a genocide in Gaza is true for a moment (it’s not true. It’s 100% false Propaganda. But for this exercise let’s assume it’s true): What do myself and my Jewish family and friends in the US have to do with that? We are here across the world living our lives as productive members of society and not harming anyone. Why are people expressing hatred towards us? Why are people in big cities like NYC enacting violence on Jewish people who live there? Why are college campuses becoming unsafe places for Jewish students? Cont’d ⬇️

For anyone who thinks that $TAO dTAO subnets are dead, here is my p&l from trading subnets over the last few months. And this does not count the profits I made from Feb 2025-June 2025. All in all, I’ve made over $200k in $TAO trading subnets since dTAO inception. The market got very bad and very glum for a little while. But then it found a bottom. Once I noticed that the bottoms seemed to be in, I jumped back in and very selectively entered strong alpha tokens. The key is to take profits fast and rotate profits into strong tokens on pullbacks.

I reserve the right to completely change my mind at any time after posting this. I think I’m done playing in dTAO subnets for now. Since Feb, I’ve made $TAO, I’ve lost TAO, and I’m net UP about 250 TAO. But ever since June, the subnets game has become so much harder to play. If you want to make $ playing in the subnets you have to 1) pay very close attn to what is happening in the space. You have to stay plugged in, in discord, telegram, and watching all of the novelty search podcasts as well as several others. 2) be willing to take profits very quickly when you’re right. If you want to make $ in subnets rt now you have to make this shit your full time job and you have to be willing to take profits quickly. If you do that you can make a killing. I just don’t have the time or the patience for that rt now in my life. Long term investors aren’t making $ in dTAO for the most part. Maybe there are a few exceptions. But most are underwater and bleeding away TAO tokens left and right. That I’m SURE will change. But I don’t think it changes anytime soon. Here’s why: This rotten excuse for a bull run will be ending before 2025 is up. That’s not just me speculating. That’s what history tells us from the last 3 bull runs in crypto. Will we have an elongated cycle? A “supercycle”? Maybe but that is total speculation. And that type of speculation has occurred in every other bull run before this one. “This time it’s different”. But it never has been. It’s always been the same: - 1 year of horrific bear. (2014, 2018, 2022, 2026?) - 1 year of stabilization/Recovery. (2015, 2019, 2023, 2027?) - 2 years of bull with blowoff top occurring in 2nd year. (2016-17, 2020-21, 2024-25, 2028-29?) That is how it’s gone for ALL three of the 4 year cycles we’ve had in crypto thus far. That encompasses ALL of the historical data. And every time there were analysts and gurus screaming “this time it’s different”. Could it be different this time? Sure. Maybe. But I sure don’t want to stick around long enough to find out if possible. So, back to my point: it’s now almost mid September. We have about 3.5 months left of this bull run, historically speaking. I refuse to be caught with my pants down, down big on subnets while $TAO is finally realizing its price discovery and trading into 4 digits. I refuse to put myself and my family in a position where I’m not able to take enough profits to change our lives for the better bc I’m stuck in huge subnet positions that just keep bleeding away in value on me bc of the high emissions in subnets. We’re nearing a tipping point and sometime in the next 3.5 months alt coins SHOULD go bananas and give us life changing gains. When that happens, I need to be in a position to maximize my profits. If I’m right, a lot of other smart people in the TAO community are probably thinking the same thing which is one reason why there is still low participation in subnet tokens and so many are still sitting in root despite the dramatically lower APY. If I’m right, 2026 will bring a raging bear market in crypto, and if I take profits in 2025, I’ll have lots of dry powder available in mid 2026 to take advantage of deep discounts on $TAO and many subnets. And at that point I’ll be much more ok with buying good subnets and sitting on those positions for a few years. To me, now just simply isn’t the time to do that. Given where we are in this cycle. Stay safe out there guys. So that’s
