Excellent decision to cite the company that today was caught lying that Lime and Salesforce were their “real world” customers: https://web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=helium-caught-lying-that-li...

Wow. I remember reading the Lime line in the The NY Times article. NY Times didn’t check that source.

That was audacious of Helium.

Thanks for replying.

Oh yeah Helium...that blockchain with a whopping $78k in annual revenue and a $2.1-billion valuation. [1] They're just paying venture money to hotspot owners at this point. There is no functioning business model.

Thanks for posting this. I had a totally different opinion after reading the NYT article.

6.5k monthly - I wonder how much longer they have?
