CryptoBossLite 🎈 'Eric'🎈

Just had 2 folks walk into the @paleotreats shop "because we saw the robot". (@frodobots) They asked about it, I told them a little about #DePIN and as soon as they heard "cryptocurrency" they couldn't get out the door fast enough. For "normal" people, crypto doesn't have a place in their lives yet. Companies like @helium_mobile and @Hivemapper are changing that, but it's going to take a while. At some point in the future, when you tell people you've got projects like @atorprotocol and @threefold_io and @onocoyRTK deployed, you won't have to explain why internet privacy, or decentralized compute & storage, or pinpoint accuracy globally are so vital. People will already know. They won't look at the @WeatherXM station on your house and wonder about the tokens you're getting for your contribution to weather accuracy. It'll just be a known thing, like "Yeah, of COURSE I earn for providing data. It's MY data, and I have the right to sell it if I want." The world we live in has gotten used to an odd system where your data, your actions, and your full life aren't totally yours. #DePIn is changing that. It's not fully changed yet, and it'll take a while, and there'll be plenty of breaks and mishaps on the way, but if you're doing DePIN, you're on the cutting edge of demanding control over YOUR rights. That's a pretty amazing thing, and what you're doing by having any involvement at all in DePIN is subversive and radical. It can be hard to remember sometimes that you're not normal, that other people are fine with giving up their rights because THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE THEM. You should *expect* that people look at you a little weird. What you're doing IS weird, for now. We're building the very future. Keep building. Full ahead. Continue being excellent.

Made a ⁦@paleotreats⁩ delivery with our ⁦@frodobots⁩ connected via a ⁦@helium_mobile⁩ SIM. Kinda cool to start linking up all the fun stuff! Might have to start racing these…
