Helium Mining: The Best Passive Income Idea, I Ever Came Across! 🎈
HNT Potential? My Setup? Earnings? Price Target?
Helium was founded in 2013 by Shawn Fanning, Amir Haleem, and Sean Carey, with a mission to make it easier to build connected devices. If the first name sounds familiar that’s because Shawn Fanning is the co-founder of Napster, the first peer-to-peer music sharing platform that amassed over 27 million users in its short 3-year lifespan. Shawn currently serves as an advisor to helium likely because he has half a dozen other startups on the go. Amir Haleem is a professional gamer and video game designer and he was once the best quake player in the world. He currently sits as the Helium CEO. Sean Carey, on the other hand, is a seasoned systems architect and he serves as helium’s CTO until he stepped down in 2015.
According to Amir, Helium was the outcome of one of the many conversations he had with Shawn over the years after meeting him in 2005. They wanted to recreate the peer-to-peer model of Napster with wireless networks without the risk of being shut down for breaking laws as Napster did with copyright. Initially, they were hoping to target the telecommunication market but realised that the red tape would make it next to impossible and the existing players have too much financial and political power.
