Ever stumbled upon a crypto project that feels like it's flying under the radar despite massive potential? That's exactly how George Adams feels about Helium, the decentralized wireless network that's been quietly building momentum since 2019. In a recent tweet that's got the community buzzing, Adams shares his personal "Hal Finney moment" and doubles down on why $HNT is the most criminally underrated token out there.

The Tweet That Started It All

Adams' post quotes Helium's founder, Amir Haleem, who announced some game-changing updates: exponential network growth and a plan to burn 100% of $HNT from Helium Mobile subscriber revenue. But Adams takes it personal, saying he's tired of repeating himself but can't help it—Helium is just that good.

He references his own tweet from way back in June 2019, calling it his version of Hal Finney's famous "Running Bitcoin" post. For those new to crypto lore, Hal Finney was one of the earliest Bitcoin adopters, and his tweet marked a historic moment. Adams sees his early excitement for Helium in the same light.

In that 2019 screenshot, Adams exclaims, "I'm pretty damn excited!" and gets a warm welcome from the Helium team: "Hi George - Responded via support. Let us know if you have any issues and welcome to #ThePeoplesNetwork!" It's a nostalgic nod to Helium's roots as "The People's Network," empowering users to build and own wireless infrastructure.

Why Helium Stands Out in 2025

Fast forward to today, and Helium has evolved into a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) powerhouse. DePIN, for the uninitiated, refers to blockchain projects that incentivize real-world infrastructure like wireless hotspots or mapping devices. Helium's $HNT token powers this ecosystem, rewarding users for providing coverage through hotspots.

What makes this announcement huge? The token burn mechanism. By burning $HNT equivalent to all subscriber revenue from Helium Mobile, the supply decreases, potentially driving up value as demand grows. It's a deflationary move that's got investors salivating, especially with the network's reported exponential expansion.

Adams isn't alone in his enthusiasm. Replies to his tweet echo the sentiment:

• One user calls themselves a "summer of 2019 Helium OG" and predicts the cream will rise to the top.
• Helium Mobile's official account chimes in: "never get sick of hearing it tho."
• Even Helium's COO, Frank Mong, responds, hinting he might have been the one replying to Adams back in 2019.

This community vibe is what gives Helium a meme-like energy—passionate holders who've been in it for years, hyping it up against the odds. While not a pure meme token like Dogecoin, $HNT's underdog story and loyal following make it a compelling watch for meme insiders.

Implications for Meme Token Enthusiasts

At Meme Insider, we're all about spotting tokens with viral potential and real utility. Helium blends both: the hype from early adopters like Adams, combined with tangible tech like mobile coverage and IoT connectivity. If you're into meme tokens for the community and moonshots, keep an eye on $HNT—especially with these burns kicking in.

Adams ends his tweet with a bold statement: "And guess what… I’M. NOT. LEAVING!" If that's not diamond-hand energy, I don't know what is. What's your take on Helium? Drop a comment below and let's discuss!
