bittensor:native ended Q3 at $301. Today it's around $216. That's about 28% lower, even though Bittensor shipped 8 protocol upgrades in the same quarter. Price went one way. The protocol went the other. My pick for what matters most: the Emission Gate. Subnets now have to beat a market set demand bar to earn emissions. Idle subnets stop getting paid. That turns emissions from a handout into a competition. Root Reborn is a close second. Root rewards no longer get auto sold into TAO, which takes constant sell pressure off the market. Fewer free rewards for dead subnets. Less forced selling. The market is pricing fear right now. The chain is building like none of it matters. 🧠
