Big cryptos can get and in fact already got hacked. When comes to code there's no certainty. Are you sometimes disturbed by the risk of a hack?
Can we still make the argument that crypto might be just a fad? The next crypto bull market will be the 5th one as we hit 15 years. It will likely be the point where average Joe will have to realize that crypto isn't going anywhere, and it will now be part of our lives and here to stay.

tldr; DIMO, a blockchain-based IOT solution, enhances car functionality by allowing cars of any make or model to establish a digital identity and interact with a network of services. It enables car owners to earn monthly income by sharing their car data. The platform aims to solve the automotive industry's fragmentation and lack of connectivity, offering benefits like peer-to-peer car-sharing, efficient insurance models, and autonomous tasks like parking. Users can monetize their car data by installing the DIMO app or device. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.

It’s super hard to run a 50 cent IOT lo bandwidth mobile sim. Definitely too expensive vs margin. Definitely not worth it to have over reaching historical cattle data to better help farmers when things aren’t so easy with burning fields 15 years from now. There is a reason for these things even if you’re too Texas to understand it Mr former rancher. I know the future is hard to understand but hopefully that helps.
Check this out. I wrote this 5 years ago in 2019 when scammers and bagholders were still shilling Vechain and all the Supply Chain Money Grab dogshit. https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/bh503m/bloomberg_the_50_trillion_dollar_supply_chain/elqk6e7/ The Supply Chain hype is like a giant crypto vacuum that sucked a lot of money out of investors and so far has returned nothing. - Ambrosus - EximChain - Modum - OriginTrail - Seal - Te-Food - Vechain - Wabi - WaltonChain - More, I've lost track of, etc It's true that all these hyped up Supply Chain cryptos have returned nothing in investments. It's also true that there is big enterprise adoption of immutable ledger for Supply Chain and IOT. Look at the AWS IOT success stories page: https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/case-studies/iot/ There is a wide array of use cases such as monitoring the supply chain, collecting hundreds of millions of data points for high volume / throughput IOT system, etc. You'll also see that they integrate this with other services like Kinesis and SQS which allow throughput to million of transactions per second. AWS has an immutable DB service Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB) as well as other blockchains and they are releasing their TimeStream immutable database soon. Also, you have integrations into AWS Cloud that allow for storage of petabytes of data and really important to businesses instant analytics can be done in real time on this streaming data using big data analytic tools. Not only AWS but Azure, Google Cloud, etc are also onboarding enterprises in the IOT/Supply Chain space. Hundred billion dollar companies are offering a vast array of services and integrations that fly by night shady crypto companies don't have the technical capability or resources to even fathom. If you really believe in the IOT/Supply Chain space and you're investing in Supply Chain Cryptos instead of Amazon, Microsoft or Google, you're being bamboozled.
You don't mention development of AI related projects, data storage/collection, IOT projects. These imo will be the new world, 4th IR that's being trickle implemented right now. It's a fairly crowded field at present but not hard to see the projects with big potential. Lot of folk in crypto just chart reading and I'm not saying that doesn't make money short term, but the stronger projects out there will be to the new world order what apple and Microsoft were when they appeared. And yeah, gaming obviously. I expect various mergers and various deaths on the way but new household names will emerge from this run imho.
I mine Helium IOT on Solana. Solana also has Helium Mobile 5G network. Just of the top of my head those are two things that SOL network has that ALGO doesnt
I'm pretty certain on DePIN stuff like Hivemapper, MapMetrics, FrysCrypto, Helium IOT and Mobile. Pretty certain Pyth will be lucrative for no particular good reason. Very certain Akash will continue to ride any AI/Web3 hype on the basis of being the decentralized web host/compute for them. Ronin and Ronin chain games like Pixels. Crown. Memecoins like Doge like Bonk and Wen. Last time I tried to even make an account for Audius, nothing but errors. Experience with Audius is that it's a trash Spotify competitor. Probably still have a major run someday. Newer stuff like Spacemesh. There are additional VC backed AI chains that are in testnet or don't have a token yet that may be suitable for airdrop chasing by running a node. Just do it in AWS. Have your rate limits applied. Don't spend a lot of AWS
Been accumulating BTC and ETH (including GBTC/ETHE before the ETFs and IBIT in my Roth IRA since the ETFs came out) and HNT/IOT/MOBILE.
BTC, ETH, DOT, HNT (+ IOT, + MOBILE) DOT 2.0 incoming!!!
Crypto will in the fabric of everything. Virtually every will be on or tracked with blockchain/DLT. Think an item manufactured is tokenized and every step recorded counterfeits are virtually eliminated. Instant payments can be made while products move through the supply chain with smart contracts freeing up capital. Loans could be instantly made on taking possession of those products. While all that is happening on the supply chain its possible to track CO2 costs and instantly associate a carbon credit to make it carbon neutral. The carbon market itself can be verified much the same way to ensure against green washing and dodgy projects selling credits. A potential customer for an item can scan the QR code and get everything from where materials were sourced, the steps in the process, validation its from the manufacturer to how to care for the product, its details, warrantees and service info. And all thats just supply chain. Check out [atmia.io](https://atmia.io) from Avery Dennison, they're doing that right now on Hedera and see how that all flows into Hedera's Guardian service (carbon markets). Then theres tokenizing real world assets such as property and financial instruments. See Toko from DLA Piper and then data provenance for IOT, AI and machine learning. They need to know the data is not tampered with, again achievable with DLT. See DELL edge computing and EQTYLAB all building their use cases on Hedera. You'll only hear about colorful NFTs and defi because that all 95% of networks can do, dont ne fooled the big players are building it all out right now under our noses but people cant see past monkey pics.
In my non-IRA accounts where I hold for at least a year and am willing to take some risk, and in my various wallets, I'm roughly at: 50% BTC, 20% CLSK (started way lower % but it 6x'd), 10% ETH, and the rest a good mix of GBTC, ETHE, RIOT, and the various Helium tokens (HNT, IOT, MOBILE). I think all of them are set for 2x to 20x gains this bullrun, just a matter of finding the top of each of them. If you're interested in miners, there's a whole group of people who discuss them on Twitter/X. PM me if you want.
By the whole helium network. I'm making passive 200USD monthly on IOT and changed everything to SOL before 15% rise.
If you want more information go to r/heliumnetwork it's part of helium (HNT) (IOT) is also part of it. Mobile is the reward token you get for mapping or setting up a 5g network antenna to create a 5g network using I think the T-Mobile network. It's supposed to be really cheap for unlimited call, text and data 25$. I haven't been on the sub recently though.
What about helium mobile? They have 50k monthly subscribers/users in their cellphone plan. IOT side of helium is a bit sketchy tbh, but helium mobile has real world usage with their cellphone plans
You’re not gonna get 100x on Coinbase. Listings are what make coins run hard. The best options on Coinbase in my humble opinion and potential 20Xers are Jasmy (Sony founder is the creator, incentivizing data sovereignty and carbon credits) 240M market cap (fully diluted token) XYO geospatial location data, web3, IOT, and data sovereignty. 70M market cap (fully diluted token). Actual company behind it, good devs working on building. As always DYOR. I think data sovereignty will be big in the future so these are projects I’ve researched the most, although I have done DD on 100+ others, these seemed like the best options to me for tokens that will provide actual value in the real world
Koinly is great if you are doing a few hundred trades. What sucks...is in my case I have a Helium (HNT) miner...and apparently each mining "event" is a 'taxable' event...and there are THOUSANDS (10k+) in a year I believe....I've not made a dime cause I just acquire the IOT (used to be HNT, now you have to convert)...yet I need to pay $300 for Koinly to organize the thousands of mining events? nah.
Access to the machine it is running on. So full access to the file system. That means emails / photos / configs / oh look a nice wallet! / website history and cookies. ​ What about screen capture and keyboard reader. I have that too! ​ Monitor everything on your network. So anything sent in the clear. Also DNS look ups. Do you have other computers on the network? Do you use the same credentials for them too? If so access to them. Any IOT devices? I guess they are not secure. The wifi lightbulbs are not that secure and most run the same ESP32 code.
Helium IOT miners don't earn much. The LTE and wifi miners can earn up to $1000 a day right now. But that's POC rewards and the long term play is data transfer rewards.
They have pivoted a bit from IOT to actually being a cell carrier. The IOT stuff is still going, and another coin, but the real growth is on the mobile side which is LTE and wifi.
Depends. DeFi is an innovation and will keep growing and innovating on itself. Are most people that post here in this sub using it to gamble? Yes! Is the only use of DeFi gambling? No. AKT (Akash Network) - Decentralized system for cloud computing. Can you gamble with it's token? Yes HNT, MOBILE, IOT (Helium Network) Decentralized data network. Can you gamble with it? Yes. Solana - the smart contract blockchain that everyone loves or hates, and also hosts systems like Helium Network. Of course you can gamble on it's token. RNDR decentralized system for 3D rendering. Gambleable? I'm going to stop asking this question because we know the answer. Filecoin - Decentralized cloud storage AR - Arweave system for permanent file storage Pocket network - system to incentives running full nodes disincentivise centralization XYO - decentralized unspoofable location oracle for use in smart contracts. All of these can be gambled with. That doesn't mean people that are actually using them are gambling or the only purpose of them is gambling.
>Virtually nobody uses crypto for anything more than speculation That is factually false. I literally worked for a company that used Ethereum and smart contract to provide services to its clients worldwide, and I've been to expos and trade shows where I've seen dozens of companies using crypto for tech solutions. The utility and tech innovation has expanded far beyond just payment, and even beyond financial tech. It's a technology that now helps companies in the real estate industry, in the medical field, in scientific research, in logistics, agriculture, oil exploration, animal rescue, insurances, travel, government, cloud computing, oracles, IOT, web 3.0, etc... If you can't tell or figure out at least one company I'm referring to in those fields, or aren't even aware of all these solutions, then you probably haven't done anywhere near enough research on this. It might be time to actually look at the data, research the actual development and companies using the technology, rather than jump to conclusion just based on the same narrative that keeps getting repeated. On top of that, you can literally see for yourself the data on usage and adoption. There's been growing usage of crypto for purchases of goods in the past 10 years if you look at the metrics. Bitcoin alone has been hitting record number of transactions for purchases of goods and services. And that's with alt coins taking an increasing larger piece of retail transactions. Also, a quick Google search would show you the growing number of merchants accepting crypto. You now even have companies like Paypal allowing its merchants to accept crypto. And no, not all of them are using third party exchange into fiat. The number of merchants that actually accept Bitcoin and crypto directly has increased. Please check your facts. But even the ones that don't, still allow he average people to use their crypto to make a purchase. So people are still able to use crypto in exchange of goods, and it still creates additional off ramping for crypto either way.
You can pick up a helium IOT miner for cheap now
HNT is their main token, but also there is MOBILE and IOT which are utility tokens
I got burned by so many promising alt coins I’ve given them up as a bad job. It’s a better bet to take your money to the casino. For cryptos I only do BTC and ETH. I guess ETH could be considered an alt coin too but I’ll make an exception for that one. I also have a bit of HNT/IOT because I’ve got a miner for that but HNT/IOT is kind of just a game for me at this point.
>CSFGMEOVR75FN5CYZMM6OPWIFIWW3IOT4WM4I3J7ISC3VYENVUZCLBJ6Z4 This address has almost 90k algo, I don't think you need it.
I would actually put all of the IOT stuff on a separate network. In case IOT device gets hacked, your PCs and file servers will not be affected. It is a bit complicated though, that's why I mentioned guest wifi network as easy alternative. A lot of consumer routers have this feature, but you won't be able to access your bitcoin node locally, as guest network usually isolates each client. You can still get access over TOR network.
I believe mining as we know it today will eventually die. As big corporations move into the bitcoin market I believe they will develop ways to make mining capabilities for every IOT device. Like it’s the shrimp that are constantly keeping up demand pressure through their dca’s, it will be the billions of devices that connect to the internet that will eventually become the majority. The expense offset will drive innovation. They already make space heaters that mine bitcoin. Although the technology is still in an idea phase there’s no doubt. Eventually our household devices will help pay for themselves and we will need to consider that when we make decisions on what devices we buy. This will ossify the network in a way that is unprecedented. Right now is like the dot com era for mining in my opinion. Eventually those big pools will fracture and be replaced with more refined efficiency on and on down the line until we have multiple mining devices per household. Possibly each device manufacturer will operate a pool of their own. It’s going to be fun to see what develops in the future
There is every way to do helium without blockchain. It just takes a minimal knowledge of the world to prove so. Las Vegas uses in excess.of 8 Gigawatts of energy, roughly 200 Gigawatt*hour per day. Each of these.is billed to well below the kilowatt hour. That is 200 million such tracked transactions, daily, compared to your "what bank is going to handle 100s of thousands of micro payment every day for the IOT data the at sensors transmit" YouTube serves up roughly 5 billion videos a day. Again, each of these is accounted for in transactions. Again this is several orders of magnitude larger than helium. Businesses have been doing that exact type of transaction for decades. Helium is a perfect example of just making things worse, and fooling people into believing that it is somehow better.
An example is helium, what bank is going to handle 100s of thousands of micro payment every day for the IOT data the at sensors transmit. I have 3 hotspots that I get paid with an IOT token multiple times a day. There is absolutely no way on earth you can do helium in a without using blockchain. With Hivemapper they actually tried to do it on centralised web2 style servers and failed, they now are having success after transitioning to decentralised blockchain technology. There are so many examples of where blockchain is working well, but if you are a determined skeptic then you won’t believe no matter what I say.
Anyone can deploy a 5g or IOT hotspots and earn crypto for sending cell phone or internet of things data to Helium to make those networks functional.
No IOT on Solana network. It's part of helium but the IOT hotspot
Someone said an exchange bought a bunch of IOT so I converted my sol to IOT a few days ago. It's comical but who knows, maybe it does get listed
Not really logic is it, you’re guessing at a number and making a statement as though it’s a fact, which by the way it 100% false. Even so, it’s good you’ve proven what I said right, you had great gains on 20 cents, which is just back up to what I said. Thus proving your original post is just a ridiculous statement that is so wrong. Yet again, I say good luck with your strategy, and again, I’m sure you’ll make gains with it in the Bull, just like everyone else. I noticed my IOT is up considerably again, my DeRace made a paltry 24% in the last 24 hours but in fairness it had a large dip. Allowing me to add yet again, do you see my logic??
Helium is the comeback story of this cycle. 1. HNT up 400% YTD 2. IOT up 488% YTD 3. MOBILE up 2297% One decision to move to Solana completely changed their fate. I remember they had pushback to do it.
Any love for HNT, IOT and MOBILE?
HNT, Mobile, AKT, DIMO, IOT
Since July, Helium Mobile up 660%, Helium IOT up 404%, Helium up 362%. Helium network moved to Solana and is the comeback story of this cycle.
Bitcoin, or blockchain will be the underlying architecture of all computer technology. The military is right now looking at using blockchain for secure comms during war time. Robots, IOT and AI will run on blockchains. The internet will become a global web of interlinking blockchains. Blockchain is so powerful because it allows for permission-less transactions and transfer of information between systems. No way this was all going to run on bitcoin chain alone, that's delusional. Anyhow no need to debate me, we can agree to disagree.
Making the move to Solana was a good one for them. MOBILE and IOT making a run also.
This is pure speculation, no one knows the future! But let's play this game, as it's always entertaining! I've been growing bullish for a while now and I just upped my heavy bitcoin buy orders from 25k to 31k. When? The easy answer would be just after the halvening, as previous history would suggest. But as a matter of fact, the ICO/IDO/Launchpad space is warming up, and there are very interesting projects setting up for token launches for the near future, like Weaver Labs and Supra. Plus, there's the growth of the number of devices on multiple IOT networks, where IOTX have been growing a lot. Finally with a lot of upside are the number of BTC and ETH ETFs on the pipeline and its approval will turn into a major upside, and a denial would just have multiple others down the line. This said, maybe my buy orders might be too low...
It was before VEN and was one of the first IOT-craze coins.
So I didn't know much about SOL other than it had issues and shut down a few times. Then our helium mining community moved to the Sol blockchain and everyone was pissed. It was my first experience on how quick and easy it is to use. I swapped my HNT to SOL and now constantly do the same with the IOT I earn. It costs almost nothing to convert. I was lucky and converted and purchased about 100 SOL this year at about 18$ so far has been my best move.
Centralized shitcoin that specializes in marketing to prey on investors who are interested in IOT. They have been claiming they will soon be decentralized while defrauding customers with new products since the ICO in 2017.
I use defi. DAPPs wise I use mysterium for a vpn but you're right, they have a way to go yet (infrastructure is there, just need some good UI). Payments is way beyond jusy bitcoin. NFTs for things like art, digital collectibles, copyright etc is not a scam. Let's not also forget smart contracts, a settlement layer, IOT, gambling, gaming.
Don't sleep on DePIN projects, decentralized physical infrastructure network; HNT Helium, decentralized wireless (IOT, MOBILE sub-DAOs), on Solana DIMO, decentralized automotive data, on Polygon HONEY Hivemapper, decentralized Google street view imaging, on Solana ELUM Elumicate, decentralized video stream data processing (not yet on exchanges, still very early), on IoTeX DRF Drife, decentralized uber, Binance chain DYOR on individual tokens, but this sector has vast upside. When people fomo into crypto-at-large this next bull run, they'll be looking to answer "okay now I have some crypto, what can I _do_ with it?". DePIN will be a huge part of the answer to that question.
Use DLT and IOT and they can trust you a little bit more. Walmart , Charmin , trucking company, truck driver, janitor , and research scientist could all download and have more trust. Simple task could trigger multiple blocks for different chains.
Anyone here still mining IOT and holding helium? Are you converting the IOT?
Iota was really popular back in 2017-18. I think they just capitalised on the IOT hype at that time. Like the news coins linking them with AI
How many people have a fully reliable home network, let alone the balls to run a 32 eth worth +$50k on their home network with likely little to no networking skills, China IOT devices that ask for wifi passwords etc. The idea is nice but I wish people could think a bit real here.
Reminder that VeChain is a scam. Vechain was launched in Nov 2016, basically a failed startup with zero customers and zero revenue. With 2017 came the Bitcoin crypto boom, lots of hype, lots of ICOs raking in money. Vechain decided to do an ICO and also grab dumb investor money with lots of hype as an enterprise supply chain project. https://www.nasdaq.com/article/bitse-launches-blockchain-based-vechain-platform-teams-up-with-pwc-cm715284 Leading the Vechain hype train is its CEO Sunny Lu claiming he was buying as much Vechain as he could for over $4.00 > "I am buying as much I can from open market personally (at $4.00+). Honestly, it's quite private and I did not want to share this before." - Sunny Lu https://i.imgur.com/J4cLKxl.png Shady Vechain strategic advisor CREAM, aka Jackson Fu is also a leading hypeman who himself claims to own and run China's 2nd best performing hedge fund with 2% returns PER DAY. > "Before cryptocurrency I formed my quant hedge fund, it's still there in Shaghai. I am just not running it. *We're the 2nd best in China for 2 years in a row. In terms of steady returns, 2% per day. Not bad." - CREAM aka Jackson Fu Strategic Advisor to Vechain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juGWpVLPGHg&t=, around 3:30 Their modus operandi is hype hype hype...again, Vechain's strategic advisor: > "Pamp it...VET should be $1 by Sept 1st (2018)" https://i.imgur.com/h7uqMzW.png Vechain created massive hype saying they would be the most used blockchain in the world on mainnet and had to prepare for trillions of transactions. Here is their CEO Sunny Lu who was buying more Vechain for himself at $4 😂😂😂 > **With trillions of expected transactions**, the VeChainThor Blockchain will continuously collaborate with these security firms for peak performance.

Not because it “can”, but because it has to to keep up with client demand. - Jason Rockwood, General Manager, VeChain Americas ..and of course the price is going to explode because Vechain already has tons of enterprise clients who are migrating from the consortium chain, other Fortune 500 companies that are signed up and like him you should DOUBLE DOWN and BUY MORE!! > there are numerous other clients, both enterprise and governmental, that are in development under NDA", that "Fortune 500 companies working to come on board", that "June 30th (2018)...we will begin to migrate over the existing clients from a private chain to a public one", and that "I sleep very well at night knowing how much adoption VeChain will see in the next 12 to 24 months." He said that the prices were so low because "Well, the biggest reason is that we aren’t actually live yet" and that "Now is an excellent time to either hold what you have, or double down and buy more. https://medium.com/@jasonrockwood/hello-friends-7d99a8e48f76 (now deleted) As seen about Vechain's main use case is to hype and pump price. The Thunder, Strength, Mjolnir, X Nodes are not really master or staking nodes and have ZERO purpose but as marketing gimmicks to get investors to buy and hold large bags of Vechain. They also hyped their Authority Nodes and that they're a proof of authority blockchain with 101 active validators who will be putting their identities.....almost 3 years later, there has been no annoucement who the 101 authority nodes are. Again, marketing gimmick. > It is when their identities and reputations are at stake that all the AMs can be held accountable and incentivized to work in the best interest for the networks growth and security https://medium.com/@vechainofficial/defining-the-vechainthor-blockchain-consensus-proof-of-authority-8cf3f51a5fa0 Here are more marketing gimmicks used by Vechain to pump price. Lotteries. You hold while the price drops and you might win in some lottery: https://medium.com/@vechainofficial/one-year-anniversary-and-x-node-binding-lottery-event-51be44dd0738 And Vechain has tons of these lotteries to get you to hold while the price drops: https://twitter.com/vechainofficial/status/1025778761940127745 And don't forget partnerships. Everything is a partnership for Vechain and they have parntnerned with everyone under the sun: Partnered with Oxford University...whoops they deleted that article: https://medium.com/@vechainofficial/the-mathematical-institute-at-oxford-university-joins-vechains-veresearch-program-to-provide-25246284cb02 "Open Partner Program" that is free of charge where companies are encouraged to participate. VeChain has turned this into a "VeChain has been chosen" for a partnership which is a blatant lie. https://medium.com/@vechainofficial/vechain-is-chosen-for-the-ntt-docomo-5g-partner-program-3f89c8d95b40 2,000+ companies attending the Expo in a gigantic mega-complex . This medium article makes it sound like Vechain got a special invitation and DNV-GL specifically asked to demonstrate the ‘‘DNV GL-VeChain Digital Carbon Ecosystem Experience Event" Hype hype hype https://medium.com/@vechainofficial/vechain-showcases-multiple-solutions-at-the-first-inaugural-china-international-import-expo-a855f356a690 Google 10,000 unique cars tracked on Cahrenheit blockchain based ecosystem...lots of hype then, nothing happened, dead link now http://cah.world/#Roadmap There are tons of tons of hyped parnterships...that is nothing but hype. Chinese Tobacco, Bright Foods, Government parterships with VeChain VETTED vaccines saving millions of Chinese children, Renault, BYD, lost track over the years. Anyone Vechain talks to or attends an open conference is a partner. Their closest thing is offering free use of their blockchain which it looks like Walmart China did as POC but nothing more. To this day, there is zero evidence that there is any company that has paid to use the Vechain Blockchain. Vechain is not any different then the countless Supply Chain projects that have gotten rich of investor money and returned nothing: WaltonChain, Ambrosus, Modum, Wabi, and many more/ It's true that there is big enterprise adoption of immutable ledger for Supply Chain and IOT.

I thought they began well back in 2017? I remember the there blockchain was unique tangle technology and they were focused on the internet of things technology hence IOT.
I would be skeptical bc of the IOT thing... There are certain tropes in crypto that when you see them, the scam hairs on the back of your neck stand up and iot is one of them. AI is another.
Yep Internet of things 🛜 IOT
Helium has both an IOT network and are currently building/expanding their 5G mobile network. People can by devices that use the IOT network (sensors, trackers, etc.) and don't really need any knowledge of crypto or blockchains in general. Helium's 5G network is even more user friendly... just sign up, connect a phone, and now you have 5G mobile/cell service just like you would from any other carrier.

BTC is open source, so I would like to analogize to the Debian distro of Linux operating system. Debian has been foss for 30 years now. Probably the most stable Linux distro. There are numerous flavors of Linux, some commercialized even, but Debian is also upstream of one of the most popular Linux distros (Ubuntu think of it as a layer two). Debian may not be the easiest distro to pick up for everyone, however Ubuntu is better than Windows 11, free and available for anyone in the world to install on just about any type of computer (even little IOT devices). Sounds similar to Bitcoin to me. There are securities and other POW crypto that claim to be better, but they aren't that stable. While the shills pound them, give them a few years and they will fade with a few enthusiasts hanging on. Folks say widespread adoption won't happen because self custody is difficult, but lightning network is going to make Bitcoin ubiquitous because it's easy. Bitcoin is going to be the standard because it's better than the current system. Just takes time. Apologies for the long post. Human uptake of improved systems follows similar patterns. To which I say congrats on being early to the party.
You can add tokenisation, privacy and IOT to that list.
Their helium IOT failed didn't it? There was very little use case for it besides tracking dog collars and such and so the helium tokens that people were mining dumped so hard so that it was not worth mining anymore. If they could get this $5 mobile plan working then this is a no brainer. Everyone would actually use this.
You are going to need more than luck tbh. There are better uses for an esp32 + oled screen, mostly IOT oriented. One of those is handling some domotics in my home.
Micropayments will be huge. IOT devices will use them, tune.fm already takes advantage of it too (paying streaming royalties as the song is being played)
Basically I'm on auto pilot DCAing into a few bags, mostly large caps. On the mean time I've been exploring some new and old protocols namely IOT stuff! I've been also taking a more active role contributing into Dia Dao. Not so crypto related, but have been trying to expand my business... and more crypto related, trying to accept payments in crypto, giving and having a hard time with my accountant!
Please include DePIN projects where you can monetize your data from IOT devices one of this is IOTEX👍
They will eventually come into play when IOT really takes off and diagnostics are uploaded to the blockchain. For now we will have to rely on silly trust, but an escrow is the best we've got so far.
The privacy invasion would be a problem as well as the government tracking every cent. But think how easy life could become if this incorporated with IOT and automation. We could have 24/7 shops where you can walk in lift your stuff and go. Like that scene out of Minority report. No need to queue for anything ever again. No real need to carry a wallet or worry if your card or cash gets stolen. Lot more free time to actually live.
BTC: first mover meme, relic for collectors. XMR: anonymous transactions NANO: zero inflation for Savings / Risking off, zero fees and instant transactions for IOT, Trading and Commerce. Some "Smart Contract" platform: for trading JPEGs, ETH probably. Some Fiat "Stable" coin: I don't see fiat completely vanishing in 5 years Some Meme coin: dog, cat, frog, hamster coin or something new, this one can shift a lot, hard to predict. Some centralized Corporate VC token: of which 3 lizards control 50-90% of the supply, maybe SOL, XRP, DOT or something else new and shiny to pump and dump.
There is a trending one atm, it's Neurai XNA very active dev team. Trying to connect real world with IOT. It's going up but still really early.
I share some of your view on mass adoption, but I believe it's coming one way or another, and probably faster than many would ever think, namely though dreaded CBDC, which many countries (not only China) are already on trial stages. There are many "good mass adoption" narratives, some a bit behind the scenes, like ChainLink working in tight connection with many banks, Tezos having some programs with the French Government, many big institutions running countless trials on Ethereum, etc. There are also many small caps trying to innovate and facilitating the web2-web3 transition, and bringuing ease of use to the space, like Dafi with exchanges, Wld/Ore with identity solutions, all the IOT projects, etc. End of the day, I believe that the mass adoption is getting here, we just aren't noticing it.
I have used BAT for tipping when there were airdrops, but stopped since the ads are so annoying. I have used IOTA for personal IOT projects, but that one doesn't really need the coin for basic use cases.
IOT has been working on the idea for years, like internet controlled door or car or home electronics, it will come to luxury goods too, just not so prio on the dev's list
I have ~5% in crypto but it’s the one investment I’ve been add funds to regular for a few years, stocks/shares I’ve let grow just organically. I’ve real estate and want another, a beach house that’ll need to pay for itself. My crypto investment is to play for the deposit, 40/60% down in the next couple of years or whatever the price is right. In my crypto I’ve no BTC/ETH but a portfolio with 3 tiers based on risk and my perceived potential upside. However, I look at the diversification across multiple industries, such as Finance/Gaming/Data/IOT/Gambling/Computing/Supply Chain/CEX Business/Soprts/Development, etc. etc.
If you’re into SOL I will shill you some low cap coins of interest, helium IOT and helium MOBILE. Purely a money play their markets caps are below 10m$ easy 10x especially with exchange listings coming soon for IOT. Personally don’t like SOL but money is money.
I'm still involved with Helium project. Got 5 miners which are now making IOT which is hardly worth anything. Helium has been a big disappointment for me. It was a good project which was executed badly.
Imagine them both on an EV driving towards the IOT
People don't give each other gold either, but still I has worth. We're talking use cases and there are plenty.. I think you're worried about the medium of exchange for the streets of some city you don't know. Instead think IOT, web3, micropayments, even holding for the last 6 years has done its job against as a hedge, these things are doing their job already and are already useful.
They seem to have pivoted offering IOT and MOBILE tokens as rewards now. Some partnership with T-Mobile in usa to use their 5G network or allowing T-Mobile customers to use their phones to mine MOBILE by offering coverage to others. The move to solana chain not sure about lol
Helium network is making a great movement with this partnership with Mysterium Network. Associating two of the best actors in network decentralization on the same device, what a great idea, decentralized VPN in one side, IOT on the other and dual earnings for Nebra runners !
I’ve been mining for over 2 years, got my ROI back in less than 2 months, decided to improve and bought new antennas plus quality cable. Got that ROI back in less than 2 months (lower outlay obviously). I voted against Solana in the HIP, mostly due to FUD I’d heard, once it passed I started doing more in depth analysis, including it’s stopping and effecting Helium. Turned out it was much of an issue at all and the migration went relatively smoothly, certainly better than I expected! Still issues of course with Helium that can be improved, however it’s a really good business case and ahead of it’s time. I work on the fringes of the IOT business globally and Helium is well placed as the IOT market increases, which it most definitely will. Transaction I’ve used now on Sol are fast and cheaper than when HNT was on its own chain. As per OP, people are building and moving to SOLANA, it’s going to be around a long time I think and weathered FTX! This is not FOMO, I have very little SOL, and it’s in my Helium wallet to pay for transactions, I like Helium for the future though. Just my personal opinion but who knows what’s going to happen 🙄🤷♀️
I believe it's a question of perception + regulations. What's a security and what's not... apparently XRP is a security, but DOT is a software... but let's not go down this rabbit hole. In the UK spread betting (basically leverage trading in disguise) is considered gambling (even with stocks) which is tax free... hence maybe gambling isn't that bad... When it comes to perception it's all about making the things tangible... closer tights between blockchain and the real world will surely improve the perception... VeChain is a good example with supply chains, IOT devices paired with oracles like ChanLink or DiaData can also be pretty interesting, let alone the broad potential of smart-contracts powered by Ethereum & friends... Bottom line, it's always down to regulators...
Don't forget mass implementation of IOT systems, which will be connected to everything. Smart fridges, cars, appliances etc, will be monitored and controlled. Power outages a possible threat to the stability of the grid? Turn off the ACs Getting another drink at the bar? Looks like you've had 3 already, Another would put you under the influence! Doing a road trip? Make sure it's at the start of the month when your gas credits reset, that way you can still have enough gas to get where you need to go and back, but you'll have to find another way to get around for the second half of the month, you used up all your Fuel Carbon Credits for the month! ​ Don't be foolish, the future will be something straight out a movie
Doge, Pepe, HNT, IOT
I am still stacking a few alts: HNT- stacked more up until SOL migration IOT-reflections from my HNT plus miners MOBILE-I own a 5G hotspot on a 0% note so essentially DCAing in since august. Algo-Been in since 2020 bought and sold a bit still dca in during the bear and staking monthly with different increments. 10 shitcoins I won’t name on SOL chain I threw 1/2 a SOL each at. (I enjoy watching the charts on them and am prepared to lose all of this as gambling $) $AUDIO- DCAing in as I like the idea behind the project and talked with friends in the music business about something similar years ago. Still DCAing into BTC and ETH of course.
Did Helium stop mining HNT tokens does anyone know? And do IOT?
#IOTA Con-Arguments Below is a IOTA con-argument written by roberthonker. > **Taken from u\/atcvan's submission from the last round** > > The hack of [IOTA's trinity wallet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwKTLs2spcQ) outlined two major concerns with the project. > > ​ > > First of all, a third-party network (MoonPay) was able to become integrated enough into IOTA's core code, such that a hack to IOTA was possible through them. This is extremely bad, because this means actively malicious third party entities could also potentially do the same. > > ​ > > Secondly, IOTA went offline after the event, which shows that it is clearly lacking in decentralization, because otherwise that would not have been possible. > > ​ > > Although the "coordicide", or the dissolvement of the coordinator, allowing for a more decentralized IOTA has been advertised and rumored for a long time, it still hasn't actually come to fruition, which brings questions about whether the IOTA foundation actually wants it to happen, or if the network will still be able to run smoothly were the coordinator to disappear. > > ​ > > Also, while IOTA is advertised as fee-less, this isn't exactly true, because the computational power required to validate transactions is simply moved onto the user's own device, essentially making everyone a miner. This means the user has to pay the energy costs related to the transaction; this wouldn't be a huge problem normally as the amount is negligible, but IOTA advertises itself as a method for micro-payments of extremely small amounts, allowing for connection between IOT devices. > > ​ > > But one wonders if the energy/calculation costs of validating transactions would become a barrier to small IoT devices attempting micro-payments with their low amount of computing power. ***** Would you like to learn more?

I claimed my small pocket of IOT tokens the other day, and the transaction failed, but now I can't claim any so I'm pretty sure they're gone forever. This marks the second time Heliums fucked me over.
Yeah. Me too. Waiting list was six months… I am still interested and check the network update sometimes. Do you think the IOT token is a good buy?
I’m selling all the IOT I can right now 😭
>It seems in the last bull run every utility it was tried with it failed gaming, art, IOT data, self banking, stalking. These all failed, when did this happen? I see new NFT marketplaces opening, new games coming out daily in web3, staking rising and plenty of users owning their own keys.
