My Personal View on $TAO — Why I’m Still Bullish

I’ve been watching $TAO closely, and honestly, this situation proved more than any rally ever could.

While the whole market was bleeding, TAO was holding strong around $351. That alone showed serious strength. It was one of the strongest charts in crypto, and confidence was clearly building around the Bittensor ecosystem.

Then everything changed.

Sam Dare dropped a massive sell-off right at TAO’s strongest moment — 37,000 TAO, worth over $10M. The market reacted hard. Price crashed from $351 to $234, nearly $900M in market cap disappeared, and a lot of retail traders got caught in the liquidation wave.

Real people took real losses.

And calling that “decentralization” didn’t sit right with me.

Because what happened next showed what real decentralization actually looks like.

The community rebuilt SN3, SN39, and SN81 from scratch. No central team stepped in. No one waited for permission. Miners and builders simply got to work using open-source code and conviction.

That’s not drama.

That’s a real decentralized network proving itself under pressure.

To me, Sam Dare didn’t expose weakness in TAO — he exposed his own exit strategy.

Bittensor kept moving.

129 subnets are still building. Institutional attention is still there. ETF filings continue. Staking infrastructure is expanding.

Now TAO is recovering from the $234 low and holding stronger levels again.

That tells me everything.

One person leaving doesn’t kill a network.

But a community rebuilding it?

That’s the real bullish case.

That’s why I’m still watching $TAO .
