20 million Bitcoin are already mined, and now only about 5% of the total supply is left. But here’s the crazy part. Mining the remaining 1 million Bitcoin could take more than 100 years, and it will require multiple times more energy than what was used to mine the first 20 million. Check this out. “Nvidia backed Starcloud, will become the first company ever to mine BITCOIN in space.” Yes, space. Starcloud plans to launch around 88,000 solar powered satellites. And launching a single satellite costs roughly $1-2 million. Do the math - sending 88,000 satellites alone could cost $100–150 billion just for the launches.The entire project could exceed $200 billion. Now the obvious question.. Why spend that kind of money? Why not just mine Bitcoin here on Earth? Because of one simple reason mining difficulty.In the early days, you could mine Bitcoin on a laptop,then you needed stronger CPUs,then GPUs And eventually, ultra specialized machines called ASIC miners built only for mining. As the Bitcoin network grows, mining difficulty keeps increasing, hardware gets heavier. Electricity consumption explodes. Today in the US, mining 1 BTC costs around $70k-$80k. Now imagine the cost after the next halving… and the one after that. By 2044, mining reward will drop to 0.097 BTC. At that point, Earth based mining might become mathematically unprofitable. There could be a moment when Electricity cost > Bitcoin price. When that happens, mining on Earth stops making economic sense. And that’s where space comes in. In space you get ... Unlimited solar power.. No land costs.. No night cycles.. No government jurisdiction.. No water needed for cooling. If Earth mining becomes unprofitable, whoever controls space mining infrastructure could end up controlling a huge share of the remaining Bitcoin issuance.Which means if Starcloud succeeds…They could potentially build a space level mining monopoly.
