Bittensor Co-Founder Says Bitcoin Hash Rate Tops 100 Supercomputers by 600,000x, Bolstering Decentralized AI

At a Paris summit, Ala Shaabana said Bitcoin’s network hash rate exceeds the combined compute of the top 100 supercomputers by more than 600,000 times.
Shaabana argued that scale shows open, incentive-driven networks can coordinate global hardware more effectively than corporate data centers, making them a stronger base for AI.
Bittensor applies that Bitcoin-style reward model to AI through 128 subnets, where miners compete for TAO tokens by solving specialized tasks defined by each network.
He said the long-term case for decentralized AI now rests less on pure technology than on debt, liquidity and weakening trust in traditional sovereign and corporate systems.
