51 sats \ 2 replies \ @DarthCoin 27 Nov \ on: Mars colonies are claiming bitcoin independence (short story) meta
There are two different scenarios for this futuristic view of Mars being colonized.
Scenario A: Mars is a place filled with Bitcoin forkers, shitcoiners, DOGE maxis etc. But in order to transact with Earth, they will have to swap for BTC because Earth is a Bitcoin-maxi planet.
Scenario B: Mars is also a Bitcoin-maxi planet, but cannot transact in real-time over LN. That will be almost impossible and/or useless, not feasible (think of force closed channels).
The only way will be to create a separate LN for Mars, opening channels with local nodes, but not with Earth LN nodes.
Transacting with Earth can be done only with some kind of OpenDimes or UTXO dealership (idea by @supertestnet).
Sincerely this scenario (colonizing Mars) will be only after 2100... we are too early now.
