🌐 Internet control, currently in the hands of a few giants, is being challenged by Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). These platforms, built on public blockchains, empower individuals to contribute resources in exchange for micropayments. DePIN is revolutionizing sectors with traditionally high entry barriers, turning big upfront costs into manageable long-term variable costs. Companies like Filecoin, Akash Network, and Helium are pioneering this model, offering competitive alternatives to incumbents in storage, compute power, and bandwidth respectively. DePIN's potential to disrupt the market is huge, but it's still early days. Stay tuned! 🚀
