I hate “some personal news” tweets, but, some personal news
after 13 years running Helium, I let the team know a couple of months ago that I am stepping down as CEO and moving into the chairman role. @didiomario is taking over. this is the right moment to do it, and he is without question the right person to lead what comes next
when we started, the idea was simple even if outrageous at the time. let anyone build and own the wireless infrastructure the world runs on and flip a century old model where carriers own and profit from the whole thing. now we have millions of people connecting through Helium every day, and an entirely new category, DePIN, has been created. and that's thanks to tens of thousands of people who deployed, built, and grew the network
Mario has been running the network side of the business for years. he understands the carriers, the tech, and the size of the opportunity better than anyone. I'm proud of how far Helium has come, but even more excited about where he’ll take it. Helium has become a platform any carrier in the world can build on with real global expansion happening
I'm not going anywhere. I’m still holding solana:hntyVP6YFm1Hg25TN9WGLqM12b8TQmcknKrdu1oxWux and I’ll still be very active as chairman. but Mario is in the driver's seat which is what's right for Helium now and for the next era ahead. the goal never changed: more of the world running on infrastructure built and owned by the people
there's also a live space going on now with Mario discussing the upcoming roadmap https://t.co/48YkS1vCHu

Bye and thanks Capcom - Major Tom here we go
This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
@redacted_noah@DriftProtocol Here's to your success with another migration. Cant fault the last one and the effort that ment into making it work. It was great to work with you.
You're interested in sensors, so IOT.
So you get a box thats an IOT gateway to learn from, that also earns crypto.
You get to know how it works, and help others doing the same.
Company says come work for us.
They expand into other networks.
You help others expanding those.
Company says we need to prove this phone network. Lets setup a Cell Phone Phone contractor providor.
And that's how your experience in one thing turns into experience in a wildly different business sector.
You never know what your employment journey will take you to.
