Dare to be called wrong as many times and as long as it takes to be proven right. For me, that was Bitcoin 2014-2017 (the toughest bear market in crypto) and $TAO @opentensor the past year (post dTAO). Luckily the adoption cycle for competitive open intelligence will be much faster than those grueling Bitcoin bear market years, since everything is moving at warp speed. Post-subnet hype and at 1,02 tao total subnet price we have seen that teams continued heads down grinding. That's strong signal for what's to come. The next test will be the post-halving post-bull market through of disillusionment (see hypecycle) where we will likely get another wave of subnet rotation. This can, however, be entirely offset by subnet breakthroughs. With 128 subnets that means there's a lot of hidden upside. And, if the macro part (AI acceleration) were to break, counter-intuitively it may help Bittensor adoption with its lower cost for intelligence. In summary, value creation beats vaporware and patience is rewarded.
