With a continual stream of forks, there will be an infinite supply of 'bitcoins' as well

These aren't radio waves, these are satellite signals

There's this new altcoin named fiat, I heard they take it at every store. With such wide acceptance it's a clear winner.

And with an infinite supply it assures that everyone will have some. Yay!

I might be wrong but I don't think they have been "launching" any satellite but using transponders of already in orbit satellites. So yes, it is just a matter of deals.

Oh gotcha. Yeah makes sense. Such amazing genius and talent over there at Blockstream!

So what has Roger Ver's camp been dreaming up to expand Bitcoin into the future? Oh yeah, that's right. Changing a single config line in the code to 8mb and calling it revolutionary.

But it is more like a backbone link for remote areas rather than a direct uplink to make transactions.

I wonder what their strategy has been around launching satellites, and if they need to be single purpose built. Building and launching satellites can be a very expensive endeavor. I wonder if they could partner with a company like Globalstar, which already has something like 24 state-of-the-art, LEO satellites already in orbit. Globalstar (GSAT) also has an exclusive license on a good slice of spectrum in the 2.4Ghz band (11.5 MHz of spectrum between 2483.5 MHz and 2495 Mhz), and was working on a deal for terrestrial wi-fi.

Look up BitSat. That idea is from 2014/15.

This will be a Fiat race tomorrow. In Europe today is public holiday so no banks are working. I´am expecting loads of money flooding the exchanges tomorrow  Cheesy
This would be a nice dip to buy...

Where in Europe? no public holiday here in the Netherlands.

I guess it´s Austria, Germany, France, Italy, switzerland and Belgium at least...

Catholic countries have holiday, protestants not, so Belgium plus the south.

Guys, if I'm reading their website correctly, they've devised a way to transmit bitcoin transactions directly over radio wave. No internet required. This is gonna be HUGE.

This is HUGE.

But it is more like a backbone link for remote areas rather than a direct uplink to make transactions.

These are radio waves, these are satellite signals! Holy shit this is huge, that means all you need is a view to the sky anywhere and you can send/receive btc with a smartphone. WOW.

No, not with a smartphone. It is a joke, isn't it?
