I'm fueling up the BATmobile for the moon mission

Reminder to everyone who thinks its pegged at .25
It isn't. There will be a sell wall at .25 because of this miscommunication. The 0.25USD refers to the floor of how much graphical Power/Cost you'll get out of every token.
The price will go up as studios, and artists buy tokens to increase Rendering speeds.
Considering this thing isn't even out of its infancy yet you're going to see a ton of growth in this token. Enjoy knowing Elon Musk, Disney, nVidia, Google, and other massive corporations will be rending you to the moon.

I don’t think we will go much lower, but if we did I will certainly pick up some more.

Don't sleep on HNT either guys.

problem with bat is nobody is donating. check reddit posts by guy that has 2 top 10 creator sites that are with bat rn, not making any money. I"m on the browser right now, but with OMG looking strong to win the reddit bake off, why wouldn't other platforms use omg rather than bat.
privacy and everything else bat provides is great to high iq's but normies don't care.
used to be a big BAT fan but not willing to invest at this point
Christian Bailey
Why HNT? I'm looking to expand my portfolio and that's one project I'm interested in.
Charles Evans
Neither of these are big brain investments

Do you think donations are important to price? I feel like the main use of Bat will be paywalls and the like.

I used to donate but turned it off cause originally I wasn't earning enough plus it was mostly crypto sites that were verified. That being said, almost every YouTube video that's not crypto related gets at least 1 bat tipped from me if they are verified. Same goes for websites and pretty much everything else. When I have more I will tip more. Anyway, auto donations right now Dont feel good cause most of the sites I am on aren't verified, and even if I only tip verified people its almost all crypto and that's not who I am interested in getting on board.

Finally seeing HNT mentioned on here.
>literally the inventor of napster is the founder
>backed by millions from the likes of USV and GV
>companies like Nestle and Lime already using the network
>the network is poised to be THE IoT solution, and burning HNT is the only way companies can use it
>pretty much no one in crypto has even heard of it
Makes no sense.
I bought a hotspot and it's already paid for itself and then some. Something like $25 a day for literally a box on my windowsill.
The burn and mint token economics are really interesting too, and HNT will have really low supply once the network starts getting heavily used.
BAT and HNT are my two biggest holdings.
Samuel Ross
I'm not making enough BAT to donate anything, lol

i usually just ignore shill posts like these, but yours was decent, so i'll bite. looks like hnt has been around since 2013? whole thing seems pretty legit, and somewhat detached from the whole cryptomeme. shill me some more, user.
Connor Powell
How much was the hotspot? Sold out in the US, apparently.
Jaxson Hughes
my site has to be in the top 1,000 for BAT creators and I have almost 10k BAT earned so far. Im looking forward to when they can put ads directly on my site.
Samuel Carter
Honestly not trying to shill—I'm just genuinely surprised at how little attention Helium gets. I actually almost didn't post this because the fewer people that know about it the better for me as a hotspot owner. I don't want to buy tokens and wait for them to appreciate; I want to capitalize on being early and have my hotspots earn them.
The latest batch of hotspots is already sold out. I've got 5 hotspots around my city and I'm hoping to get a lot more before people wake up to this enormous opportunity for future passive income.
The deployment of hotspots will play out like real estate. Look at the network already: network.helium.com
For people in big cities, there's a golden window right now to own part of all future IoT traffic running through the city. Which, right now, is not a lot. And for that reason, the HNT rewards distribution is heavily favoring Proof of Coverage. Which means a hotspot sitting on a window, plugged into power, and connected to WiFi is truly generating passive income.
The protocol it works with is called LoRaWAN, and the biggest competitor is a network called The Things Network, but it doesn't have an incentive baked into it, so it doesn't have a lot of reliability and growth has been slow. Over the last year or two Helium figured out the best model and started deploying. In just the last few months the network has almost doubled in size. It's growing really fast now.
As for the business case, the only thing stopping more companies from deploying IoT devices is that it costs an insane amount, because you basically have to pay cell phone data rates, even if you just want a tiny low-power sensor to transmit its temperature every 5 minutes.

Jonathan Walker
With the Helium network, companies can pay extremely low rates for low-power, long-range sensors to transmit data even as often as every minute. This will be huge for farmers and delivery companies, and all sorts of different kind of companies that deal with any kind of logistics or physical goods. I can imagine Amazon using this to show customers where their shipment is exactly.
As for the token itself, it doesn't have a ton of liquidity, just $500k in daily volume on Binance.US (first U.S.-first Binance listing according to the Binance US CEO on Twitter, by the way), but 5M get minted every month, and the only way for companies to use the network is by burning HNT to create Data Credits.
I don't know what the price will do long-term, but I can see this being one of the big success stories of this bull cycle and driving a lot of speculation.
Also, Helium shares an investor in common with Coinbase:
usv.com
usv.com
And Coinbase said it's one of the projects they're considering: blog.coinbase.com
Helium is making a huge effort to not hype up the token, and they're going above and beyond in being SEC-compliant, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of the next few that gets onto Coinbase.
Daniel Baker
I think 400 USD. There was a brief promotion where they were 350 each, but that was only a week or two if I remember correctly.
There's also going to be DIY hotspots coming out in the near future where you could potentially pay a lot less to set up a hotspot.
Samuel Clark
Fairly certain I'm not smart enough to set up my own hotspot, but I signed up for the waitlist notification. I love dumb things you turn on and forget and earn passive income plus it's a bonus that it's actually for a kind of cool purpose
Luis Lopez
You'd be surprised! The app is really well designed, and it's literally easier to set up than almost any router or modem. The app really holds your hand through it and it only takes like 5 minutes. All you have to do is connect it to WiFi and plug it in and then it does its thing.
And it requires no maintenance after the initial setup as long as you keep it plugged in and don't change your WiFi password.

I can only speak for myself but I've received around 1000 BAT donations to my website so far. I think this is because people who use my site are more likely to have the Brave browser downloaded because I only really mention it on Zig Forums and the /batproject sub. Plus my content is extremely relevant to crypto and (I've been told) is legitimately useful to users, so they feel more inclined to donate. That being said I think it was a double edged sword when Brave made it possible to withdraw from the browser wallet because it no longer made people feel compelled to donate BAT, which I completely understand. I think the user contribution to creators is a nice way to grow the ecosystem in theory, but in reality what's going to drive massive adoption is on-boarding large advertisers, which they seem to be pursuing aggressively. There's a lot more to unpack here but that's the gist of it.

eich likes to make big promises but it takes years for him to follow through. OR these projects take off and everyone realizes BAT was just bait to steal ETH, at which point I hope I can sue brave for not following through on their program
Juan Hughes
The memes have gotten better recently. The advertisers are coming in, just a mayter of time boys.
Carson Martin
$40 BAT imminent.
Ryan Gutierrez
theyre using the open source platforms these companies provide you fucking moron
Jackson Harris
i would agree with you if it werent for the exploit. if they can fix it then yeah $40
Jose Rogers
MAU's this month and next month will probably be higher than usual. Im expecting the firefox dumpster fire + some pretty big accounts shilling brave will push the downloads pretty high these next couple months. Brave looks like its trending in the right direction.
