One small step for man, one giant leap for crypto.
The rocket is set to launch this Monday.
BitMEX, a leading crypto derivatives
exchange, is embarking on a lunar escapade, sending a Bitcoin soaring to the
Moon's celestial embrace on January 8 at 02:18 am ET from Cape Canaveral Space
Force Station, Florida, thatโs this Monday for any rocket watchers out there.
In partnership with Astrobotic, Bitcoin Magazine, and Oxcart Assembly, the absolutely
vital mission aims to showcase Bitcoin's potential in forging a borderless
financial system beyond our earthly bounds. It marks the first Western soft
lunar landing since NASA's Apollo 17 mission in 1972 and might just herald a
new era of commercially driven Moon missions.
A Voyage Beyond Earth's Reach
Astrobotic's
Peregrine-1, scheduled to land on the Moon on February 23, could make
history as the first Western soft lunar landing in over 50 years. Integrated
onto Peregrine-1, the Bitcoin, symbolizing a monetary system for a space
economy, is set to reach the lunar surface, highlighting the capabilities of
blockchain technology and Bitcoin to cross financial frontiers.
A Leap into a New Era?
Stephan Lutz, CEO at BitMEX, said, โThe mission is a momentous
achievement in space exploration, representing the first step of creating a
monetary system for a space economy. Perfectly preserved for future
generations, the Bitcoin on the Moon is a time capsule that captures one of the
most significant human innovations and technological advancements. This
decisive leap forward is just the beginning of a new era. Iโm excited to see
what lies ahead for decentralized finance where financial systems transcend
earthly boundaries and empower individuals across the cosmos.โ
A Cryptocurrency Capsule
But what exactly are we talking about here? A physical Bitcoin,
weighing 43 grams and carrying 1 BTC (valued at around $44,000-45,000), will
become the first financial asset to touch the lunar surface if all goes to plan.
Engraved with a public address and private key, this symbolic coin will remain
on the Moon with Peregrine, inviting the crypto community to interact, send
messages, and even their own coins to the lunar realm.
A Fusion of Technology, Finance, and Exploration
Ben Usinger, Head of Community at BitMEX, who also spearheaded the promotion of the mission said, โWe are
thrilled about the launch, thanks to the dedication of like-minded partners who
share our commitment to pushing the boundaries of exploration. We hope our
pursuit to expand the horizons of technology and finance will inspire a new
generation of innovators and pioneers to reach for the stars. Fostering a
future where cryptocurrency and space exploration go hand in hand, paving the
way to explore uncharted territories and fuel the evolution of Bitcoin beyond
Earth.โ
Celestial Trading Extravaganza: A Lunar Trading Competition
In celebration of this historic voyage, BitMEX is running a trading
competition with prizes during the orbit phases of the mission. You can explore
it all here.
Weโre excited to see the launch, and hereโs hoping that it goes a
little better than Elon
Muskโs recent Space
X failure.
