Bitcoin on Its Way to the Moon: Cryptocurrency Sets Off on Lunar Journey

Bitcoin (BTC) is embarking on a literal journey to the moon! The cryptocurrency wallet, containing at least 1 BTC, is on board the Vulcan Centaur rocket and is expected to reach its lunar destination by mid-February. BitMEX, a crypto derivatives exchange, arranged this unique space trip to showcase the future potential of cryptocurrencies in space.

The physical Bitcoin wallet is like a "time capsule" that encapsulates one of the most important innovations in human history. It will feature a public vanity address that allows people to send additional Bitcoin, and everyone can witness its redemption once retrieved. The Peregrine-1 spacecraft, operated by Astrobotic Technology, is carrying the Bitcoin and the crew on their lunar voyage.

The successful mission not only represents a significant milestone in space exploration but also marks the first step towards creating a monetary system for a future space economy. BitMEX CEO Stephan Lutz believes that decentralized finance can transcend earthly boundaries and empower individuals across the cosmos. This mission capitalizes on the popular crypto phrase "to the moon," which expresses the desire for bullish momentum in the crypto market.

Thieves of Tharbad (1985) feels like a dry run for Minas Ithil. It, too, is a once-grand city in a kingdom (Cardolan) on the edge of calamity at the hands of the Witch-King. There are differences, though. Though things are dicey for a long time, Cardolan and Tharbad never fall. They are left diminished, though, the royal house exterminated and much of the region left depopulated (the deserted wilderness surrounding Weathertop is within Cardolan, for instance). Tharbad was never the gleaming jewel of Cardolan that Minas Ithil was for Gondor, though. It was always a crossroads, a melting pot of cultures and commerce. The closest MERP get’s to Lankhmar. In other words, a good place for adventure!

Unlike Minas Ithil, which is 160+ pages, Thieves of Tharbad is a floppy 30 or so, with about a third of the book given over to scenarios. That doesn’t leave the book any room for nonsense. It gets right to it, detailing as much of the city as possible, and filling those details with adventure hooks. This isn’t something MERP excels at generally — the line tends to meander and fill in details that are more interesting than play-facilitating. Not so here — the sourcebook is brisk and brimming with ideas. It feels less bound to Tolkieness in a lot of ways, which is a good thing for players but a bad thing for a Tolkien line, I guess (the more MERP and Shadow World I read, though, the less convinced I am that the MERP line was ever intended to be Middle Earthy in the way that modern audiences expect from a license). Still, an excellent resource for your homebrew seedy city of ill repute.

Nice Angus McBride cover. I feel like we don’t often get him at night and in urban environments. Stephan Peregrine is the interior artist. I quite like his stuff, but I think it might contribute to the Leibery feels. I am not sure if he was responsible for that isometric castle, but if he is, bravo, cuz I love it.

Bitcoin Genesis Plate Sent to the Moon Aboard Peregrine 1 Spacecraft

The Peregrine 1 spacecraft, developed by a partnership including BitMEX, has taken off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida carrying the "Bitcoin Genesis Plate." 🚀 The Genesis Plate includes a physical coin engraved with a private key and a public vanity address, making it "the first-ever financial asset sent to the Moon." 🌕 The Bitcoin wallet on the coin is loaded with 1 BTC. The spacecraft is expected to make the first commercial landing on the Moon on 23 February. The mission is symbolic of the goal to create a "monetary system for a space economy," according to BitMEX CEO Stephan Lutz.

The Peregrine 1 spacecraft, carrying 20 payloads including the Bitcoin Genesis Plate, is a joint project by BitMEX, robotics firm Astrobotic Technology, Bitcoin Magazine, and Oxcart Assembly. The Genesis Plate contains a copy of the Genesis Block, the first block of bitcoin ever mined, along with a physical coin holding a private key and a public vanity address. The spacecraft, which launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, marks a major step forward in the pursuit of a commercial moon landing. Previous attempts, such as Israel's Beresheet spacecraft in 2019, have not been successful. 🌑

Bitcoin's value was seen to rise on Monday, reaching just above $45,000 as the Peregrine 1 spacecraft embarked on its journey to the Moon. The Bitcoin Genesis Plate, loaded with 1 BTC, is a representation of the cryptocurrency community's vision to create a monetary system for the space economy. The partnership behind the project aims to allow individuals to interact with the physical coin both on Earth and in space. However, given the lack of a moon-based Bitcoin full node connected to the internet, this interaction is currently limited to Earth. 🌍

Not gonna lie, mostly including Creatures & Treasures (1985) this week because I’ve always loved this cover art by Chris White. So good, so spooky, so many questions. Why isn’t the guy stone? Did those monsters used to be monsters but are now statues or are they monsters that used to be monsters but are now statues that still move? And how much are Medusa’s property taxes? Cuz that house looks BIG.

Anyway, as you might have guessed, this is a book of monsters and treasures. This being an Iron Crown book, my standard complaint about Iron Crown books never having enough monster art inside is in effect (though the art that is in there, by Stephan Peregrine, is pretty swell). This being a Rolemaster book, there are far more charts than you’d expect in a monster book. That said, there is a pretty solid selection of critters here, plenty of which are weird, though nothing terribly earth shattering.
