Bittensor, a decentralized AI project, is gaining attention as one of the most promising intersections of AI and crypto.

AI and crypto are two of the hottest topics of the decade, but are there any projects truly making waves at the intersection of both? Bittensor, an open-source, decentralized AI network, is positioning itself as a leader in this space, with its TAO token seeing explosive growth and its model challenging traditional centralized AI companies.

In this episode, we’re joined by Joseph Jacks, aka JJ, founder of OSS Capital, and Sami Kassab, partner at OSS Capital, to explore why they’ve gone all-in on Bittensor. They discuss how Bittensor works, what makes it different from centralized AI models, and why they believe this project could be transformative for both crypto and AI.

With geopolitical tensions rising in the Middle East, how does Bitcoin react to global risk events? And is ‘Uptober’ still on the table?

October started with hopes for “Uptober” in the Bitcoin community, a positive price trajectory in October, since historically, bitcoin has performed well this month. But things took a turn when geopolitical tensions in the Middle East escalated, raising concerns about how that could affect bitcoin’s price this month.

In this episode, André Dragosch, European Head of Research at Bitwise, talks about how bitcoin typically responds to geopolitical shocks, whether this could present a buying opportunity, and how major events like the U.S. elections might shape bitcoin’s future.
