Two machine learning teams. One #Bittensor subnet slot. You decide who gets it. At pitchtensor, hosted by @bitstarterAI, two aspiring teams pitch to @macrocrux, @KeithSingery, @maxsebti, @EvanMalanga + @willobrien - then you choose the winner in a live crowdfund, online + in the room.

Grateful to serve on HubSpot’s 2026 Customer Advisory Board. UNBOUND left me energized by this community and the opportunity ahead for people, agents and businesses. A few reflections from the Provenonce journey: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Quite a lot is afoot in Bittensor $TAO subnets. You will want to learn about it *now* -- still in the early days, but *not for much longer*. Years of steady product creation & market penetration are beginning to pay off. The pot is near boiling. pill.taobubbles.net

AI agents can execute tasks. But can they prove they followed the right process? @willobrien helped build trust infrastructure for crypto as co-founder + early CEO of @BitGo. Now with @provenonce_ai he explores how the evidence, context + decisions agents leave behind can become a verifiable assurance layer - and why #Bittensor is the right place to govern it.

Thrilled to be joining the Bittensor community at Exploit Summit in Montreal with @bitstarterAI and @provenonce_ai !
Before crypto custody was an industry, @willobrien co-founded @BitGo and helped pioneer institutional security and custody for digital assets. Harvard CS. MIT Sloan MBA. He helped scale @bigfishgames and has been an LP and advisor to @blockchaincap - with a habit of showing up wherever the next frontier hasn’t been built yet. Today, that frontier is @provenonce_ai - coordination infrastructure for the agentic AI era, so humans and agents can work together with accountability built in. The founder who builds the floor before everyone else shows up. On the stage that argues back. 👇

Today, @willobrien published The Agent-to-Agent Economy. His essay follows a thread he began in 2014: machine-to-machine commerce to the market forming around agents. Intelligence creates the capacity to act. Trust makes that capacity exchangeable. provenonce.ai/a2a

In 2014, I wrote about Bitcoin’s path to institutionalization and machine-to-machine commerce. The institutionalization happened. The next horizon is taking shape. Today is my birthday. This is my call on what comes next: The Agent-to-Agent Economy provenonce.ai/a2a

Most work conversations are now being recorded by default. You should probably assume that everything you say at work is getting recorded from here on out. What’s emerging is a new category of enterprise software, organized around voice instead of text. The system of record today is structured data: CRM entries, tickets, docs. But the highest-value context lives in conversation: the nuance on a customer call, the real argument in a product review, the offhand comment in a leadership meeting that quietly changes the roadmap. LLMs are uniquely good at taking that unstructured voice data and making it structured, searchable, and queryable. That’s a large enterprise opportunity, and we’re still early in understanding what the software layer looks like and who owns it. a16z GP David Haber on what AI recording means for the future of work: a16z.news/p/everything-is-re…

Tomorrow I’m pitching Proof of Assurance at Proof of Pitch, live from the Louvre in Paris. Proof of Assurance is our Bittensor subnet for verified AI execution. AI can do the work. Verification unlocks the market. Watch @wallstreetbets @proofoftalk provenonce.ai/proofoftalk
