I know that Bitcoin's solved international remittances...but what about interplanetary?
Will we be sending Bitcoin over to Mars via advanced satellite communication?
Are interplanetary payments just an infrastructure problem or a Bitcoin problem too? Both? Neither?
These are things I ponder...
Basically every group of humans across space and time have created some kind of money to exchange between them.
Given that now we have a sound money, it would be a great candidate to use it on Mars.
Paying to someone else when both are on Mars would be basically the same as doing it on Earth, and they would also be able to send and receive BTC from Earth to keep some reserves there.
It would be a bit like how lightning works, and Mars would be seen as a node I think.
Nobody will go to Mars in the next 100 years, bro.
why the pessimism? genuinely curious
It doesn't make any sense to send humans to Mars; people are fragile, vulnerable to space conditions, and helpless. If anything went wrong, humans journey to space would be stopped, like it was after the Challenger disaster in 1986.
The effort to send humans is much, much higher than to send many robots. It's not pessimism, bro, it's an economic calculation.
100 years though? Don't foch it up

I get that humans are more expensive, but I'll be humans will go in the next 100 yrs, even if just for the clout.

wonderful haha you went in great detail
I did not haha , #146595 but had a gif
Watched Knut Svanholm and Samson Mow discuss this recently: https://youtu.be/64uo7EnPmKU?t=1890
Probably but not for very long since Mars is further than the hash horizon. They will imo run something like marscoin since they cant mine any btc because of the distance and the resulting delay. More here if you are interested (three part series): https://unchained.com/blog/law-of-hash-horizons/
We sure won't be mining there anyway, given that one-way communication takes 4-20 minutes...
