Bitcoin Could Be the First Currency on Mars

2025/09/11 21:00

Jose E. Puente and Carlos Puente recently outlined a system they call Proof-of-Transit Timestamping (PoTT), a framework that would let Bitcoin transactions hop through satellites and space relays until reaching a recipient millions of kilometers away.

Each “stop” would leave a verifiable digital stamp, turning the transfer into something like a space-age passport trail.

The plan builds on earlier experiments — Blockstream’s satellite integration in 2018 and Spacechain’s Bitcoin transfer from the International Space Station in 2020 — but goes further by treating interplanetary distance as a problem of routing and verification.

With NASA’s optical links or Musk’s Starlink network providing the backbone, PoTT could move Lightning transactions to Mars in about 12–15 minutes, far quicker than Bitcoin’s base layer.

The researchers even account for the two-week communication blackout when the Sun blocks Earth-Mars signals, suggesting relay satellites could skirt around the interference.

For now, the idea remains theoretical. Mars has rovers and orbiters, but no one there to receive a payment. Still, Puente argues that if humans do settle the Red Planet, they will need a neutral currency not controlled by any government or corporation — and Bitcoin, paired with PoTT, may be the most practical candidate.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
