gBid. 

I see some people, like myself, confused in how to get into @bittensor_ .

So here is brief guide explaining in degen terms, not technical yet as I am not well educated to explain it to you. Soon tho. 

-----------------

SUMMARY

 @bittensor_ represents the backend infrastructure of a p2p marketplace for AI models, powered by $TAO, in @Polkadot. 

@CreatorBid acts as the frontend platform who integrates these AI models enhancing the capabilities of the agents launched, powered by $BID in @base.

-----------------

WALLET

Speaking from a personal POV, I used talisman wallet: 

@wearetalisman - Where you get $DOT 

@Rabby_io - Where you have $ETH

-----------------

BRIDGE & SWAP

@FixedFloat - Where you perform the swap you want to do from ETH to DOT. 

Then in your talisman wallet, you just swap your $DOT into $TAO.

-----------------

BUYING SUBNETS

@taostats - the dashboard where you select which subnet to buy. 

Its as easy as connecting your wallet and buying. 

-----------------

CONSIDERATIONS

Fees and Costs: Gas fees, and transaction costs within Bittensor.

Risks: Subnet tokens are volatile. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and conduct thorough research (DYOR).

-----------------

PERSONAL POV

I could gather this info thanks to @buck6000 $CAO dev, he is really bright minded and so nice. 

There are still a lot of things to consider as risk, as there are subnets that are not active and my get de-listed, so do not buy anything without knowing, or asking if you are green in the ecosystem, like me. 

I am doing some research to look for good plays on @bittensor_ and I will share them once I am sure what I want to dedicate my funds in. 

This guide is just to help you get into $TAO ecosystem, as I am a $BID maxi and it is directly correlated. 

-----------------

WARNING

I have seen there are a lot of rookie mistakes which might drive you to lose your funds, like aping inactive subnets, so please if you have any questions, I am opened to answer, or if you have a $TAO quant ask him.
