 the further you move away from the bitcoin ledger’s lightcone, the more you will fall out of consensus and easier it is to double spend you without you noticing. Not to mention higher chance of long forks that undo large parts of your ledger history when you go back to earth. It just doesn’t work off world. We would need an L2 protocol or just use something physically scarce, and im not sure gold would be that in space.
