Bitcoin vs Bittensor

Bitcoin is the first decentralized blockchain, secured by proof‑of‑work where miners expend SHA‑256 hash power to find valid blocks every ~10 minutes. The supply is capped at 21 million coins, with inflation halving roughly every four years—the most recent halving occurred on 20 April 2024. Upgrades like SegWit and Taproot have enabled second‑layer protocols such as the Lightning Network and emerging covenants via OP_CTV debates.

Bittensor is a decentralized machine learning network that rewards participants for contributing artificial intelligence models and computational resources. By combining blockchain incentives with open AI development, Bittensor creates a marketplace where intelligence can be produced, evaluated, and monetized in a permissionless environment.
