Why 97% of Roam Users Lost Money in the Bull Market—And How 5.4M Nodes Are Rewriting Global Connectivity

The Network Was Built by People—Not Corporations

I still remember my first Roam node in Brooklyn—not a server room, but a shared apartment with three strangers swapping WiFi passwords like heirlooms. We weren’t investors. We were commuters, artists, nurses—people who refused to pay $67 for international data. When AT&T charged us £6700 overnight, we didn’t rage. We built.

The Burn That Built the Bull Market

On March 18th, Roam burned 97% of its supply. Not as punishment—but as liberation. Every token destroyed wasn’t waste; it was an act of trust. In traditional finance, you sell liquidity to shareholders. Here? You give it to the community.

Nodes Don’t Sleep—They Grow

By June, we’d deployed over 540万个 Wi-Fi nodes across 190 countries—not with corporate towers, but with eSIMs tucked into backpacks and phone cases. A student in Tokyo activated her node while waiting for coffee. A grandmother in Nairobi linked hers while sending voice notes to her grandchild thousands miles away.

AI Isn’t Replacing Us—It’s Listening To Us

Roam’s AI agent doesn’t push ads—it learns your rhythm. It knows when you need connection more than data: when you’re on a train in Seoul and don’t want to pay again for SMS.

The Real Revolution Is Simple

YZ told me last week: ‘The future isn’t about blockchain.’ It’s about access. Every node is a star—and together? They’re lighting up the dark. We didn’t wait for permission. We just started walking.
