Led by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, Flop is building a payment and inference layer where agents buy the three things they need to stay alive — model inference, raw compute, and persistent memory — using the network's native token, FLOP. Hayes calls it "food for your AI agent."

Bitcoin took about 1 year and 9 months from its launch (January 3, 2009) to reach this level. In comparison, Zcash took approximately 9 years and 2 months from its launch (October 28, 2016) to reach its current level as of December 25, 2025. No comparison!

The significance of this idea is reality-altering.
Jason’s post is fascinating because it exposes something most people still miss: Bitcoin functions as the proofing mechanism for how AI can be bounded, not suppressed… and in doing so, it enables an age of abundance without erasing human relevance. It introduces a universal value signal rooted in physical cost, ensuring that intelligence alone is never sufficient to dominate systems detached from reality.
This is why it is critical that Bitcoin becomes the dominant signal of value before AI is fully unleashed at scale. Once AI reaches its full productivity potential, any system lacking a physically anchored value constraint risks being overwhelmed by synthetic output, false optimization, and runaway abstraction.
Bitcoin solves this by making physically anchored intangibility its superpower. It transforms computation, energy, and time into an incorruptible price signal that both humans and machines can recognize and cannot fake. That shared acceptance of value (not just price) is the necessary predecessor to safely deploying AI at civilizational scale.
This is not coincidence.
AI and Bitcoin are entering society together as complementary systems: one collapses the cost of intelligence, the other enforces the cost of reality. Their interaction is what allows abundance to emerge without collapsing meaning, agency, or trust.
This is where Post-Scarcity Monetary Theory (“PSMT”) becomes essential.
PSMT recognizes that as AI, automation, and energy abundance drive the marginal cost of production toward zero, scarcity does not disappear… it migrates. When goods, labor, and intelligence become abundant, the only scarce resource left is truth: verification, finality, and coordination under adversarial conditions. PSMT reframes money not as a claim on future production, but as a record of verified reality.
In that framework, Bitcoin is not a hedge against the future… it is the monetary substrate that makes a post-scarcity world coherent.
Absent Bitcoin, AI overwhelms value systems by making intelligence, signaling, and simulation free; with Bitcoin, AI is forced to express its impact through irreversible physical cost, re-anchoring value to reality.

Here we go, details on the Polymarket partnership for $TAO Sportstensor Subnet:
"Due to the frequent trading activity that crossed over half a million in volume, Polymarket initially contacted Sportstensor under the mistaken impression that the subnet operated as a market maker. This misunderstanding sparked productive discussions during which Sportstensor explained the fundamentals of the Bittensor network and highlighted its significant achievements since launching as a subnet.
Through these exchanges, both parties discovered highly complementary goals. While Polymarket has established itself as the world's leading prediction market platform, its performance in sports markets has lagged behind some competitors, prompting a strategic focus on expanding sports market volume and attracting new audiences. Meanwhile, Sportstensor seeks to extend its reach beyond the Bittensor ecosystem and drive mass adoption through its incentive mechanism design."
