Helium fallout could lead to potential opp

- Posted in Crypto by

Miners cannot make any money on Helium at these prices. (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/helium/). A massive crash as HNT is now trading at ~ $.17 cents

However, that might be leading to a low risk opportunity.

Normally the Helium outdoor wifi retails for about $449. https://heliumdeploy.com/products/helium-outdoor-wifi-hotspot

I am seeing versions of the same product getting dumped on ebay for as low as $50. Please double check versions as it might not be exactly 1-to-1.

They might be worth buying. At the very least they are a low risk opp as these devices are not much money anymore. So if HNT does not turnaround, you are out a very low amount.

Or the indoor hotspots are also cheap and are a potential for setting up in you local businesses. You could position local business with this opportunity ( you set it up and split profits, assuming HNT can turn around). You will need to be upfront on the potential.

Also as a FYI, you can take your old phone and get a new phone number for just $15 a month with Helium mobile. Might be worth trying out.

Please do your due diligence on the devices, functio

Satellite phone versus on the ground (DePIN) redux

I just got Helium mobile for $15 a month. I'm using the phone number as a throw away for when buying products, apps and for using loyalty programs.

I won't care if this phone gets spammed to death. Nice way to keep your regular phone number clean.

Helium support was great. Don't fear it. I'm using an old iPhone 7+. Make sure you double check if you need a physical SIM card. Helium will send you one for an extra $10.

Of course if you are strapped for cash a $15 a month phone plan is pretty great. It is however a pain in the ass to change your phone number. But if you have the time, it could be a good option.

$HNT.X $HNT.X I can't help but think about when satellite mobile was rolling out and Cell providers were adding towers all over the country and ended up eating the satellite phones lunch. Will we see something similar with something like Helium? Are we back to satellite versus on the ground rollout?
