Comments suggest that these events might drive investors away from such projects. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="bittensor-tao">Bittensor (TAO)</h2> 
The Bittensor blockchain, which made a significant impact in the past period, was attacked on July 3. The attackers stole over $8 million worth of TAO tokens from users’ wallets. 
The team announced that all transactions were halted to prevent further losses. Bittensor’s core developers assured users that they would not face similar incidents in the <a href="https://newslinker.co" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">future</a>. To identify the cause of the attack, they paused the chain and switched to “safe mode.”

The decision taken by the team raised fears of centralization in cryptocurrencies, which are strongly supported for their decentralization, and triggered significant dissatisfaction. 
On the other hand, this incident also highlighted trust issues with the project, and investors were seen to be worried. The process might lead investors to stay away from TAO due to the fear of new losses, potentially triggering a price drop.

Social media activity continues. Data showed that 48.78% of people talking about Bittensor commented with negative sentiment. This situation has the potential to trigger panic and lower the price.

Meanwhile, attention turned to Polkadot. Recent criticisms directed at the company raised concerns about potential financial instability. Reports from the company indicated that $87 million was spent in the first half of 2024 alone. 
42% of the expenditures, almost half, were allocated to social projects, including influencer partnerships and sponsorships. Additionally, Polkadot’s treasury income dropped from 414,291 DOT tokens to 171,696 DOT, representing a massive decline. 
Tommi Enenkel, a key figure in the company, stated that the company has about two years of spending limit left, while CEO Fabian Gompf claimed that there is no such situation and that the funds will not run out. 
The company, also criticized for unnecessary expenditures, allocated a budget of $53,000 for an animated logo that will be valid for six months. Such expenditures are thought to significantly harm the company’s sustainability. 
Considering all these factors, it is believed that the negative comments and bleak financial outlook of DOT could impact its price, potentially driving it down in the short term.
