Grasping Bittensor really comes down to one thing: understanding what Bitcoin fundamentally does. Because when you strip it all down, Bittensor is basically Bitcoin generalized into the realm of incentive computing.

Here's the thing though—this concept sits outside what most crypto and web3 people can wrap their heads around. But? For AI and ML practitioners, it clicks immediately.

Let's dig deeper into why that gap exists and what it really means.

nah see this is where most people get it wrong... bittensor isn't just "bitcoin but for compute" that's the oversimplified narrative. the actual mechanism design is non-trivial and frankly most web3 devs haven't even read the whitepaper

Bro, Bittensor = Bitcoin generalization? I need to ponder this logic...

Ngl, from Bittensor's perspective, it's interesting, but those Web3 folks really find it hard to understand... That's why the AI side reacts quickly.

In simple terms, it's about transferring Bitcoin's incentive mechanism to the AI computing layer. Crypto people simply can't grasp this, but ML engineers understand it instantly. The gap is truly remarkable.
