Take the smallest perfect sphere that can contain the entire Earth and its crust, and atmosphere: and make it fit perfectly a giant cube. That cube will have side aproximately twice the radius of the Earth plus twice the altitude of the atmosphere= 2*6378100m+2*120000m=12,996,200m, so

2,195,073,963,105,128,000,000 meters cube. We can imagine our giant cube divided into this number of one meter cube cubes. The frontiers that we will have on the surface from its intersection with the cubes, I will call cells.
Logically, the number of cells is about the number of square meters of the Earth, despite the fact that the form and area of them will be very different from each other.
My challenging is the following, estimate the market value in BTC of each of these cubes and cells.
Google Earth doesn't feature that yet...
Are many of those cubes and cells valuable? Would many want to buy the cube at the center of the Earth?
What about cubes from the atmosphere?
