An Interplanetary Bitcoin Network: the Physics, Engineering, & Economics
In this video I talk with Bill--a software engineer and technology consultant--about a theoretical bitcoin network that spans the solar system as we begin colonizing other planets.
Visit his YouTube channels: @SQL Answers and @Crypto Answers. He is extremely knowledgeable and will be a valuable resource for you.

Mars will serve as the primary destination for our first colony outside Earth. I break down my rationale of why I think this is the case in the first 2 minutes. 🠂 🠂
I follow this up by briefly summarizing how Bitcoin works on Earth for those that need a refresher or are new to the mechanical side of Bitcoin. 🠂 🠂
After clearing up any misconceptions about the mechanics of Bitcoin, I describe the initial conditions and considerations for the nascent colony on Mars. 🠂🠂
Bill and I wrap up the video by diving into Bitcoin as money for Martians 🠂🠂 setting up the bitcoin network 🠂🠂 specific software considerations related to an interplanetary bitcoin network 🠂🠂 bitcoin mining on Mars 🠂🠂 and some Physics & Limitations given current hardware.
Overall, this is a great video that I think anyone can enjoy! #bitcoin #blockchain #mars #space #software
