Barry Silbert, founder of Digital Currency Group and known as a 'crypto king,' is shifting his investment focus to the AI token Bittensor (TAO), viewing it as a successor to Bitcoin and Zcash's scarcity model. Bittensor's token supply is capped at 21 million with halving events, and its mining involves training AI models, making it a unique decentralized AI project.
