Is this the dream for every Bitcoin enthusiast or a proof that it is not going to work?

El Salvador, as of September 7th, 2021, is going to recognize and use Bitcoinas legal tender, together with the US dollar. If we don't count Venezuela's failed scam of Petro, this will be the first time that a government recognizes Bitcoin as a currency.

Have you ever played with a Ouija board? Maybe you’ve seen it in scary movies. It’s the spirit board which allows the living to connect with the spirits of the past. Some even wrote books dictated (so they say) through the Ouija - by dead authors.

Do you remember SETI@Home? It was a massive distributed search for extraterrestrial life, by analyzing specific radio frequencies emanating from space.The SETI part is not as important as the @Home portion. It’s the idea that there is a massive amount of computing power sitting idly at homes and can be used for something useful.

Summertime is when many of us take a break, look at the stars and dream. While looking skyward, I started thinking about space. 

Did you know that Voyager 1 has now been in space for over 43 years? It is further from Earth than any other man-made object, at a distance of 152.2 AU (22.8 billion km, or 14.1 billion miles) from Earth.

Data. Machine Learning. AI. We hear these terms every day and we see the wonders this kind of technology can bring us. It’s like we’re on a magical merry-go-round where the ride gets better with each revolution. What will we see the next time around?

This was the plan: create a network of satellites to connect all of humanity in a way we’ve never seen before. Even in some of the poorest, most desolate, out-of-the-way places, if you’ve got a satellite phone, you’re okay. Fantastic!
