  blue origin or spacex is going to send a rocket up there and comeback with a pile of literal bitcoins, in a treasure chest. Then we will fly to Mars and live there with the money we make from collecting bitcoins from space. Everything about this is hype. Everytime I hear someone talking about bitcoin, I squint my eyes and think, I don't think you know what you are saying. This is another case of that for sure.

    Hype? You can use it today, for free. It is operating and 100% open source. https://github.com/Blockstream/satellite https://github.com/Blockstream/satellite

  " ... literally ..." From the article: "Blockstream Inc. plans to make the digital ledger underpinning the cryptocurrency accessible via satellite signal so people without Internet access, or in places where bandwidth is expensive, can trade and mine bitcoin."
