Helium is a project that's been around forever, and I always thought it was basically vapourware.
But I was wrong.
Helium, which is tradable on Solana, has clear use cases.
The project recently teamed up with AT&T to bring 93,500+ new hotspots, mostly in the U.S., for internet connection.
Helium claims that its decentralized network already has over 800,000 daily users and, in the past, they signed other agreements with other providers, including, for example, Telefónica/Movistar in Mexico.
Crypto has a unique way of being totally unpredictable.
For example, despite being slower and more expensive than other equivalent blockchains, Ethereum is still by far everyone's preferred L1 blockchain to build stuff on.
At the same time, ETH has been lagging behind when it comes to its price action.
The list goes on.
This is to say that just because Helium Network seems to be a useful thing, it doesn't necessarily mean you should buy its token.
But, still, it's good to know there are crypto projects that actually serve a purpose, for a change.
