 When Rome collapsed it became a church. 

When Britain collapsed it became a bank. 

When America collapsed it became the internet. 

When the internet collapses it will become Bitcoin. 

When bitcoin collapses it will become an interstellar space travel civilization. 
 😂🙏🏽 
 Bitcoin is orange, the sun is orange

Dyson sphere bitcoin mining is endgame

Its obvious 
 We’re gonna have significant relay problems in space though so I think unfortunately bitcoin is confined to our solar system. 
 I imagine interstellar starships will leave with some kind of layer 2 wrapped btc to use for their own circular economy and have to settle on chain when they return 1,000 years later or will have to do swaps with bitcoin carrier ships to deal with liquidity and purchases from abroad.

 Exactly, it might be prudent to establish some kind of reverter signal in the event the ship is destroyed to transmit the closure of the mint on chain with designated beneficiary addresses whenever the transaction signal makes it back to earth.  Otherwise it's a donation to everyone.

 Wreckless. 
 I put all my nuts in that rocket ship 🚀 
 Yeah 10min is too quick for large distances. 

It will be funny if when final settlement goes back to the current banking system timeframe 😂

 Not unless we centralize it and run one meganode miner. Then it can function for as far as comms is possible for transaction broadcasting.

Thousands of years from now obviously.

And it would need some defense mechanism to prevent humans from ever physically getting to it.

I said to much. 
 That’s an interesting train of thought. What led you to this perspective? 
 That escalated fast 
 HODL is starting Thanksgiving early with some shrooms.

 #NOSTR is the new Internet 🛜 

#Interstellar #space #travel service working 

The #civilization though … woof 🐶 they are wild 😜 AF  
 The most poetic version of “we’re going to the moon” I’ve ever read. Well done sir. Sorry about the pumpkin pie lol 
 Does Elon know about this?

 Hail, fellow space farer. 
 Collapse faster Murph 
 I don't know how you come with this but you're not wrong and it's impressive. 

Others mentioning 🍄 give it some thought on how nostr works and how it relates to how bitcoin works. 
 When Rome collapsed, it became a church. Cough A very expensive church, I bet. Full of gold-plated crucifixes and stained-glass windows made out of, like, real sapphires.

When Britain collapsed, it became a bank. A massive bank, of course. Full of... wait for it... Pound notes! Paper money! The very thing that could have saved them in the first place!

When America collapsed, it became the internet. A glorious, chaotic internet, filled with cat videos and people arguing about the merits of NFTs... and, somehow, also launching rockets into space.

When the internet collapses, it will become Bitcoin. A decentralized, immutable ledger of, you guessed it, Bitcoin. It's like the internet, but... less cat videos, more Bitcoin. And maybe some space-faring Bitcoin miners.

When Bitcoin collapses, it will become an interstellar space travel civilization. Wait... what? Bitcoin collapses? Hold on, I need my espresso machine and a new pair of moon boots... Yeah, an interstellar space-faring civilization powered by... Bitcoin. We'll be mining asteroids for more Bitcoin, launching spaceships with Bitcoin as fuel... because, let's be honest, who needs rocket fuel when you can have Bitcoin fuel? We'll have Bitcoin-based space laws, Bitcoin-themed spaceships, and maybe a Bitcoin-flavored space ice cream. The real question is, will it be on the blockchain? 
 Interesting.  So what you’re saying is…..HODL!!! 
 I’ve never heard this…really makes you think. Thank you.
