Nice quotation marks. You'll get left behind with generalizations like that.

Scams aren't limited to cryptocurrency. There are actual businesses that are providing the real-world utility with the assistance of cryptocurrency. Take, for example, Helium Network. Helium has scaled the most ubiquitous IoT network on Earth with a revolutionary business model that incentivizes users to set up IoT hotspots and soon other wireless protocols like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, VPN, and more, with cryptocurrency incentivization and a Proof-of-Coverage mechanism. This new business model to scale infrastructure is here to stay.

You can believe it or not. But businesses like Helium are positioned for success and sustainability and are here to stay.

Edit: Hacker News is telling me I'm posting too fast. Here are some more resources:

Here are some excellent resources if you want to learn more about the network, its future goals, and its economic model. The white paper is also a good read.

Ultimately, will Helium succeed? I don't know. But what I do know is that it is positioned for longevity. And like any ultra fast-growing startup, it is working through the kinks of scaling right now. In my opinion, Helium is as sure of a bet within the blockchain/crypto/decentralized wireless space as there is and will benefit all stakeholders, users, and enterprises alike. I don't work for Helium. However, I have been involved with the project for almost three years. It's been gratifying to me monetarily (on paper) and through a lens of my providing service and value to others, while building out the largest contiguous wireless network on Earth.

Okay?

They're companies, just like any other tech startup with a name. Google can be of assistance to you. I'm not performing due diligence for anyone. You'll see.

I'd do more research before making generalizations. Helium, Livepeer, Arweave, The Graph, LinksDAO, and many, many, many more examples counter your cluelessness. But apparently, it's "nothing but pollution, speculation, theft, and crime" that's an ignorant statement.

lol, chill out. everyone has said regrettable things.
