Bitcoin-era investor who runs DCG, and since November 2024 has run Yuma, DCG's Bittensor subsidiary, casting Bittensor as the next Bitcoin and himself as back in the game.

He surfaces in August 2024 as an investor cheering Grayscale's TAO trust 001, teases that Bittensor will be obvious in hindsight 002, then launches Yuma in November with the founding frame: early Bitcoin for money, Bittensor for the decentralised ownership of intelligence 003, and Bittensor as the World Wide Web of AI 005. The pitch is deliberately de-cryptoed for enterprises 004.

X post on Bittensor as TAO rallied ahead of its smart contract launch, quoted by The Defiant; the post id is 1836818543696031819.
Just like the early days of Bitcoin, which fueled the development of a new form of transparent, borderless money, we're moving from the digital ownership of assets to the decentralized ownership of intelligence.
Silbert's statement in the DCG press release announcing Yuma, quoted in Fortune's launch story by Jeff John Roberts.
blockchain scares people away
To Fortune, explaining why Yuma plays down the crypto side of its pitch even though TAO incentives sit at the centre of Bittensor.
If you ask five people: 'What is Bittensor?' You will get five different answers. If you remember early bitcoin, some people would say it's money, some people would say it's gold. Some people would say it's this blockchain [...] The way that I look at Bittensor is as the World Wide Web of AI.
Interview with CoinDesk's Ian Allison on the day Yuma launched, asked what Bittensor is.
There are two flavors of subnet partnerships. We are doing an accelerator, so if you are a startup or an enterprise who has an idea and wants to explore the world of Bittensor and launch a subnet, we will help you. Then we have a subnet incubator, where we will partner up with somebody to build ... a new subnet.

The framing hardens into 'the next Bitcoin': same whitepaper-to-code origin and token economics 016, the boldest call that it could be a better store of value than Bitcoin 014, and the halving as a Bitcoin-2012 moment 032. The web metaphor is upgraded from 'of AI' to 'of intelligence' 026. With dynamic TAO his subject shifts from the network to subnet tokens as an asset class and market validation [barry-silbert-029, barry-silbert-035], and he starts naming the enemy: closed systems run by tech giants 034, plus Bitcoiners who call TAO a scam 009.

calling $TAO a scam is such a lazy attack. do better
X reply to Bitcoin author Parker Lewis, who had called Silbert and Raoul Pal affinity scammers for promoting TAO; quoted by CoinDesk on 22 April 2025.
I started looking across the whole decentralized AI space and started digging in on Bittensor. Very quickly, I came to the conclusion that from a theme or era perspective, this is the next big one.
On Raoul Pal's Journey Man podcast (recorded 9 April 2025, published 17 April), asked how he arrived at Bittensor; wording taken from The Currency Analytics' write-up of the episode.
There are a number of projects that have launched. We've backed a number of them. But the one that over the past year or year and a half that has reached escape velocity is Bittensor.
On Raoul Pal's Journey Man podcast (recorded 9 April 2025, published 17 April), on why Bittensor rather than other decentralised AI projects DCG has backed; wording via The Currency Analytics.
We're going to invest in it, we're going to build on it, we're going to help educate, create awareness, create access. We launched a new business in the fall of last year called Yuma. I'm putting my jersey back on. I'm still running DCG, but I'm back in the game.
On Raoul Pal's Journey Man podcast (recorded 9 April 2025, published 17 April), describing Yuma's role and his own return to operating; wording via The Currency Analytics.
You had the Bitcoin and the Ethereum and the NFTs, and you had the layer 2s and DeFi. I think this is the next big investment theme for crypto

99.9% of crypto tokens that are out there have no reason to exist and are worthless
On Raoul Pal's Journey Man podcast (recorded 9 April 2025, published 17 April), setting up why TAO clears his bar when most tokens do not; wording via CoinStats.
It's just like bitcoin, there was a white paper that turned into code then launched and it has the same token economics
On Raoul Pal's Journey Man podcast (recorded 9 April 2025, published 17 April), comparing TAO's origin and 21 million supply with Bitcoin; wording via CoinDesk's report on the Bitcoiner backlash.
Bittensor is a decentralized intelligence network, with the core idea of creating a global permissionless platform incentivizing global intelligence to solve any problem or challenge.
Same Journey Man episode, as rendered in a Bitget News transcript that appears to be translated back from Chinese, so the English is not his exact wording; his definition of Bittensor.

Bittensor exists to open up the development of and access to AI: a permissionless network that incentivises intelligence to solve problems.

Bittensor is a decentralized intelligence network, with the core idea of creating a global permissionless platform incentivizing global intelligence to solve any problem or challenge.

What is broken that Bittensor answers, in their telling.
AI exposure is limited to a few big players, and closed providers are single points of failure.
AI is becoming a core portfolio allocation. But for most investors, it's limited to a few, big players. Bittensor offers access to a decentralized network of AI projects.
Bittensor eliminates single points of failure, such as OpenAI or Meta API restrictions, while providing redundancy and scalability.

As the decentralized AI market matures, value is beginning to concentrate in Bittensor subnets solving meaningful problems, offering viable alternatives to the closed, centralized systems controlled by tech giants.
