Blue Origin, the private company of private flights from Jeff Bezos, will now accept payments in Bitcoin and other leading cryptocurrency. Eligible tokens include ETH, Sol, USDT and USDC.
Justin Sun, founder of Tron, used one of the company’s flights to space earlier this month. Blue Origin makes breakthroughs with cryptographic industry, potentially capturing imagination worldwide.
Blue Origin Crypto Spatial Volts
Spatial trips have often fascinated people in the cryptographic scene; Cryptographic companies have contributed to research on space communications, several companies have financed satellites with token sales and Elon Musk even has a space flight company.
Today, Jeff Bezos’ blue origin deepens the intersection of these worlds by allowing Bitcoin payments for space flights:
“From today and fueled by Shift4 seamless payment technology, consumers can pay with popular cryptocurrencies and stages like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, USDT and USDC for travel on space on the new Blue Origin Shepard.
Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos in 2000, has already had some notable intersections with the cryptography industry. Earlier this month, the founder of Tron Justin Sun ended a trip beyond the Kármán line after obtaining the passage in 2021.
The last Crypto leader to fly to space used SpaceX rockets, so this event increased the notoriety of Bezos’s business.
Bitcoin à la Moon – Literally
Shift4, Blue Origin’s partner in this company, has a history of facilitation of cryptographic transactions. He acquired the donation block in 2022 and joined forces with Chainlink and Mastercard to increase the web access of card holders in June.
With its support, international travelers can immediately reserve space flights any day or hour.
In the end, it looks more like a gadget than a real use case. Blue flights cost around $ 28 million, and Tradfi institutions have many ways to make transactions as practical as possible.
Blockchain payment solutions will not necessarily add a significant ease of use for travelers.
However, even evaluated as an advertising, it is quite remarkable. The cryptography industry has long promised technological solutions to apparently insoluble human problems, and space trips naturally share this vision.
Thanks to Blue Origin, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency could have the opportunity to highlight this connection.
