Bitcoins for spaceflight
Print Edition
YOU can’t spend bitcoins at Amazon.com or to pay your mortgage but, as the Winklevoss twins showed on Wednesday, you can use the digital currency to book a trip into suborbital space.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, who famously accused Facebook Inc founder Mark Zuckerberg of stealing their idea, said they used bitcoins to buy tickets for a high-altitude voyage on billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic commercial spaceflight venture.
The brothers, Olympic rowers who earned MBA degrees from Oxford University, have become bitcoin evangelists and investors. They plan to launch a fund to make it easy to trade the digital currency on the stock market.
