Video - Bitcoin in Space: The Blockstream Satellite Project
Did you know that Bitcoin's blockchain is beamed to the whole world via satellites? Yep, while some of us are still figuring out how to use the TV remote, Bitcoin is already in outer space! You see, there's this thing called the Blockstream Satellite project that sends blockchain data down to Earth from space. Why, you might ask? Well, it's like having a backup plan in case someone tries to mess with the internet or block Bitcoin data transmission. And guess what? This satellite coverage isn't just for a handful of places. It spans across North and South America, Africa, and Europe. They're planning Phase 2, which will cover the entire globe. But here’s the kicker – to catch this cosmic signal, you'll need a satellite dish and maybe even a radio to send transactions back to the network. So next time the internet's down, just remember, Bitcoin’s got a plan that’s literally out of this world! What do you think, ready to invest in a satellite dish?
