I read this article a moment ago, how is your point regarding to the article. Nice enough for bitcoin development.

Do you think bitcoin without internet connection is impossible? No you are wrong as of now

This is reminiscent of the Zuckerberg internet balloons. I'm interested on how Blockstream will handle the challenges. I guess the only thing the possible poor end users would have to worry would be acquiring the necessary satellite dish.

This project looks like good but not easy to be applied. as this project may need huge budget for development and all things. but when the project is ready we will see the revolution.

It looks incredible at the moment. But I hope there are no clauses. Also I think BTC should focus more reducing transaction costs than this.

That's really interesting news. I have never heard of it before. However, I have not quite understood how the data are sent from the satellite to reach the people from internet-free regions. Which devices, connections and apps are needed to receive Bitcoin in those regions? Maybe google could help with its "LTE-balloons".

i also do not know how the mechanism of it clearly as i only read information it through the article. if ths project goes well we will see that bitcoin growth up with good potentiality of mass adoption.

both reducing cost of any transactions or make a new feature like bitcoin satellite is important. as we will not need to use interest to access bitcoin. in some countries that has low technology bitcoin can easy to use.
