This is cool! Would love if you explored that universe more. Some feedback though:
I don't think we'll talk about a "Bitcoin community" anymore once we've settled on Mars, use Bitcoin for transactions between Earth and Mars and shitcoins have become irrelevant. Everyone will just use Bitcoin and most people will not know and care that there was ever a different form of money. Money works the best if you don't think about it anymore and thus any community around it ceases to exist.
Also, I have to agree with @DarthCoin, Bitcoin is not a currency, it's money. Currency is issued by governments. At least that is my understanding.
Btw, thanks for giving me the chance to mention this opinion I have on communities; I don't think I ever did before. I am interested if there are people who share my opinion because I am not sure.
Thanks for the feedback! I just getting started, I'm trying to imagine stuff here. Money is part of human interaction, so as long as you need to put value to something (or someone), you need money, ergo, bitcoin. Not too many sci-fi literatures explore their currencies, most of them call the money credit.
About the Darth's view, I think is fair. However, remember people will still call currency because goverments, in this future are mining bitcoin and have sats in their vaults.
