I guess the key point is here:- " _an entirely new global financial system that is based out of Switzerland and intends to rival US monetary currency and the dollar_" What they dont want is anything that challenges or rivals the power of the US & the $US! 😉 Though personally I wouldn’t touch FB crypto-currency with a double length barge pole…They cant be trusted to act responsibly with anything personal and certainly not with anything related to mine or my loved ones personal finances…(IMHO of course!) 🙂 ---

IHS Markit LPWAN assessment - Echoes other recent (last 3-9mo market reports) _ **TL:DR -** _ 1. LPWAN now turning into a 2 horse race (NB-IoT/LoRa) 2. Sigfox effectively 1st out of the block (wrt funding), now falling by the wayside trailing in 4th place 3. Cellular IoT somewhat split by geography - China NB-IoT (by mandate?) vs mixed LTE-M/NB-IoT in rest of world (Latter taking pole position?) 4. Cellular IoT missteps based on implementations with slower than expected roll-outs? 5. Others failing to impact (On-Ramp, etc.), either by failing to take off or still being early/new technologies 6. LoRa (LoRaWAN) the dominent none cellular technology 7. Overall #'s still lower than expected/disappointing (IMHO realistic vs earlier excessive hype!!!) ![image](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/uploads/default/original/3X/f/9/f9d7aa761d8f05423ab1abdd55818f7493383cfa.png) [https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc\_id=1334892](https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1334892) ---
