satellites are extremely expensive to maintain in orbit, I wonder if they could keep it up there for at least 10 years?
Blockstream have raised millions before. I doubt they're struggling for cash. If they had a problem, they could always start some ICO with a bullshit token and a promise to "revolutionise" something or other. I'm sure they'd raise tens of millions of dollars in a matter of seconds.
Looks like they're getting ahead of themselves though. It would be better to make it possible for more poorer people to actually use BTC before trying to make it happen. As it is, those people would shove the fees up out of control.
this is not a bad thing you know, they are putting their money to a good use, this will ensure the survival of bitcoin even without any internet access, but satellites are extremely expensive to maintain in orbit, I wonder if they could keep it up there for at least 10 years?
