Ok, let me check myself… the 10 minute block time is a limitation that most likely prevents us from using Bitcoin as-is beyond our planet. So we run into our next challenge when we colonize Mars (and considering I don’t think we’ve been to the moon, I’m not concerned that Mars colonization is a near-term concern). But “universe” is a fun word

Still not limiting, IMHO. You just wait longer for a confirmation. Nobody said we won't change the time in between block to one hour if we needed to deal with other planets.

I agree, that’s why I said “as-is”

Also far-enough down the road so as not to effect my thinking at all

Also, unless we find some way around the speed limit of the universe I can’t see a lot of back and forth trade with Mars, so it seems like they could have their own fork of the protocol or a side chain 😂
