My experience with @helium_mobile in last 24 hours: - super simple sign up - able to bring my number from T-Mobile to Helium (make sure you get a transfer pin, else you might get stuck) - made 9861 $MOBILE (about $4 for sharing mapping) - Great coverage, no issues so far

The real problem of web3 / crypto is new users aren't joining and builders don't know how to grow communities, so we get a bunch of products in isolation that are marketing to a vacuum of the same 5K users

@frankdegods Apple focused heavily on UX. Apple's winning strategy was to invest in creators (itunes, app store). I view this similar to Solana's fundamentals. Empowering creators to distribute and giving consumers the best UX possible (fast, low fee, safe).

Biggest problem: Sol community needs to get funding for builders so they can find pmf. Seed funding hasn’t stopped in tech in 2023. Traditional network effects, value capture comes after growth not before. Growth requires experimentation.
