Topic: Bitcoin can be use by future Mars Inhabitants? (Read 5178 times)
They would need to have enough computers around to keep things secure. Perhaps they'll have a different blockchain.
with radio wave it's possible to have internet beyond earth i think, radio waves can propagate very far away in the universe

You guys forget that when Mars gets colonized Bitcoin and all it's technology is prehistoric.
I guess it's possible but really I think it's unlikely.
Consider that SpaceX was created for the sole purpose of reaching mars so that Elon Musk could be buried there. Reaching mars is the first step in colonizing it, and if any company would ever do something like that - it would certainly be SpaceX. Along with that, it would be fairly quick since they are working at a rapid pace towards space domination.
However, even if it takes 200 years to reach space - we will just more likely be using Bitcoin as our main currency by that point. USD has been used for close to 200 years now, as well as other world currencies, so I think it's still possible and even likely we would be using Bitcoin.
It may even be a vastly improved version of bitcoin, but since Bitcoin is a software and not a physical item, it can become something entirely different but we can still call it Bitcoin, and it will still be Bitcoin.

There will be digital currency in an planetary financial system. Most of the goods, if not all, would be digital. But, given that we have 3d printers now they could easily be physical. There is still the question as to the speed - for all currencies. Maybe 22 light minutes is not a big problem or by then there is a trick to speed it up.
Easily doesn't translate to reasonable though, why would you spend the resources to print out a currency that is easier to use by leaving it in digital form? Maybe some backup hardware wallets could be printed or something like that - but I don't see why you would do something that takes such a large step backwards in progress.
Disagree on the internet is not important when colonizing another planet.
Communication is the first priority on just about anything to coordinate tasks and jobs.
Without internet the colonization would be much slower, how could humans access all the knowledge data they need?

Future? Any fool should know by now we've been on Mars for decades.
Few people go to space and even fewer return.
It wasn't difficult to control human knowledge on space technology advancements.

feck mars dey took errr jaabs.
no, there's no internet on Mars 
Mars will be more digitalized/machine based. So high chances crypto like btc will be used.
Mars? That's too much, we haven't even reached there. I think at mars 1 btc= 1 million dollars 
Every person of this forum will be millionaire then..

Aren't you taking it too far? Bitcoin will be history by the time we reach Mars
Some other currency might take over BTC
Some other currency might take over BTC
If there is life on another planet then perhaps they have a better financial system that wins it from Bitcoin. Our computers would be incompatible anyways.

Not suitable. Earth is too far away from Mars. Information would take too long to go from one place to the other.
By that time there won't be money, it would be a resource based economy.
I think they will not have time to worry about going shopping with BTC up in here.
Smelling some kind of adventure "Mars needs bitcoin" !!! Nothing is impossible !! it's only matter of how fast our communication system between earth and mars are developed..

Very good points.
World around us changing so quickly that it's also possible that in 100 years Bitcoin will be outdated, ancient history, replaced with something else, modern and newest technology.
We may even modify Internet and have something complete different in 100 years, who know?
