@aseidman yep seems to be lots to fear, the question is how will Beemaps and Hivemapper lead - what is the plan for 2026 that makes mappers excited about holding their tokens as investments vs paying operating expenses - something more longform from @aseidman on this would be appreciated
@MARxCAPI@Hivemapper@rajgokal@solana Am driving already .. passive holding as an investment over mid term…can imagine if this is for day to day then yeah current prices are frustrating….my view that is in the next yr or two as network grows price will be much higher
@Hivemapper@rajgokal@solana good summary but mapping coverage data outdated -- not 20% as stated in video which indicates a much older video -- marketing folks need to pay attention to these posts as does not convey confidence -- let's invest in regular community management across channels
@aseidman Hivemapper has been putting in the hard work - Hodl and be rewarded -- this is a substantial and growth market -- i will not be surprised to see token price at $2+ in next 3-4 years -- be patient, support the network and wait and see
@SuperS_Scotty@Hivemapper@helium_mobile@helium Mapping is a passive investment process not a paid job — do it for multiple projects - build out portfolio of tokens and hold — if you need to sell the tokens to pay the bills then I agree get out of mapping — but if you drive anyway then the tokens are all investment upside
@aseidman via solscan $15K per week burn….that is real money/demand! Congrats. And think about how easy (low cost too) it is to scale this business — i am all in on Hivemapper ….. will accumulate as these prices are a gift
@Hivemapper burn today totaling $7,034 in one day which is equivalent to $9,379 in token value. And conservatively projecting is $200K per 30 days. Folks this business is starting to turn the corner --- keep a modest 10% growth per month for this year and $7.5M ARR - hodl😀
@MysteryTraderX@aseidman@XRanJetX i like a business that is at a run rate of $1M ARR (which is not easy to do btw)and growing plus 20% monthly and soon faster — in a matter of months when savvy investors look into this growth the narrative will turn to how quickly will this be $100M then a $1B - one yr? 2? Wow!
@FlorinGC@aseidman Right on - you are going to make those clients money - using a baseball analogy - for the last few yrs Hivemapper was in the minors figuring things out - Beemaps got them called up to majors and are now producing - in a yr are Allstar game bound
@aseidman@FlorinGC Hivemapper is the real deal - thanks for the hard work at building a real business - burns are tracking at a nice growth rate q/q — keep at it and when market structure bill passes folks will look for best businesses and Hivemapper will be recognized
@Hivemapper Demand is increasing — checkout burns in last 30 days (even just those above $1000 in value) — way to go Hivemapper —- just keep building, fixing, improving and Hivemapper has a good shot at being a significant player in a year or two. This is real business at work. Love it.
@GoldInvestLtr If Ecosystem using Hivemapper data grows to $3B/yr then say 20% of that translates to more than 80B map credits per year. At a token price of $1-2 this would be a net burn of 300-600M honey per year - Infrastructure in place, Bee being optimized, Demand growing, Risks decreasing
@aseidman Is my top down math correct? Spatial AI Mapping Market is growing to $$B. If ecosystem leveraging Hivemapper grows to capture say $3B in revenues by 2030 then this is equivalent to 80B map credits. At a token price of $2 then this means net burn of 300M tokens that yr
@CryptoBrasilia If a developer needs say 4M map credits (wholesale cost of $30K) and token price is at $0.0225 then it must pay 1.33M tokens (1M burn) but price $0.225 (10x) then only 133.3K.
Maybe “# of map credits purchased in the last x days“ is a better metric to track demand?
