1/ DePIN: Where We've Been and What We Still Need to Figure Out
...was the title of my talk last week at Mainnet. It's also a perfect recap of what DePIN is and an exploration of where we're headed next.
To anyone asking "What's DePIN?", this is for you
Look who's speaking at

Seems like big news, $HNT pumping, but what does it actually mean? How does this all work?
Let's level-set real quick with how the telecom industry works today. There are MVNOs (mobile virtual network operators) and MNOs (mobile network operators).
The V for virtual in MVNO
IT'S HERE🔥
Our nationwide $20/month Unlimited Phone Plan is now available!
The average American spends $157/month on their phone plan, but starting today, anyone in the US can join Helium Mobile & say goodbye to overpriced bills.🙌

1/ Why is the
@helium
network so much cheaper than alternatives?
It's mainly due to its decentralized, inverted business model that allows massive cost savings to be passed on to the user
IoT coverage is 80-100% cheaper
5G coverage will be ~75% cheaper
Here's how

DePIN is going up only whether you like it or not. The mainstream hasn’t even heard of most of the narratives for this cycle. Tell me when your Uber driver talks about earning $HONEY from his dashcam, $DIMO from his car, mining $MOBILE from his phone, or simply aping $WIFI

DePIN, when retail realizes they can earn $ by monetizing things they already do (drive, tap buttons on phone, add chrome extension), it is over
The physically interactive, gamified nature of these earnings and communities will make DePIN retail far stickier than memecoin retail
The biggest question is what will trigger retail capital injection
Majority of the world already heard about crypto, if they had any interest they would have bought and gotten rekt past cycle
