if 1 bitcoin was worth $10,000,000 USD, it would take 1 quadrillion bitcoin (not sats) to build a dyson sphere lets go into the future. for a dyson sphere to cost 10,000 bitcoin, 1 BTC would have to be worth 1 quintillion USD so yeah, we're still early

chatgpt 5.2 estimated the cost of a dyson sphere to around: $10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 โ€“ $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10^22โ€“10^23 USD) we're so early

bitcoin is no galactic money thats for sure. would need something else. likely with a bearer proof. maybe some kind of exotic matter that is only possible to make in extreme conditions.

We're going to launch Casascius coins around the galaxy. Gravity bending Casascius coins.
"[tiny black holes are] almost ideal money" ๐Ÿ˜… I liked that it considered plain proof of work (without a difficulty adjustment) as a possibility. Maybe we could bootstrap the post solar system money with solar system mining tech. Also I had no idea that magnetic monopoles were plausible ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
I started the work on building Dyson sphere (couple bricks so far) and so then we can get even, just send me sats over lightning. I'll be ready when you are ready...

There will probably be another coin that works on a cosmic scale. Every 5 years a block is found and transactions settle.

i don't think it will be a coin. it would have to be a physical bearer asset, like extremely rare exotic matter that is created in extreme scenarios
How do you solve for cruising around your dyson sphere in hyperdrive without having to rely on Earth as a single point of time for timestamping though? This might be the biggest threat to Bitcoin's decentralization.
if you even came close to having that kind of money you'd be robbed and/or killed before you could even discuss the dysom sphere with the proper people. Let's start looking at the reality and fix the problems we have here first before we go littering space with objects that could and will come crashing down upon us.
