You could be surrounded by cool people all chatting away. You’ll never know, unless you buy a device. I have absolutely no need for one. But I’ve ordered one out of curiosity. I’m actually quite excited about getting it. Later, I might get bored and disconnect.

It has the potential to replace cell networks and give people sovereignty and privacy over their communications.

It can be used in emergency situations when power goes out or cellular traffic becomes saturated (concerts, sports events or other events), or when there simply is no cell service (I think the original intent of LoRa is long range monitoring of various sensor data).

It can be used to transmit location data that is visible for miles and miles around from a drone or plane, in case of emergency.

But really its mostly just for fun.
