Im just curious about this... I'm really worried about scalability problems and maybe if thousands of decentralized nodes are on-orbit we may have a bright future?
I know that its not a reliable idea because a "small group" of people will be the ones who send the nodes, so they will be centralizing the network in some way, right?

maybe the Lightning Network is a much better an reliable idea, but well I just hope that scalability will not be a problem in the future.
The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the first distributed timestamping system.

 45,000 instantly confirming transactions  per second and scale without bloat

and

Some recent changes made in Bitcoin core 0.10 paved way for pruning. Full nodes that only require 1GB of storage are set to be released in the next version 0.11.

Compared to armored trucks and hired guns, and all the other billions and even trillions that go into the legacy system we have now, scalability is a relative issue and funnily enough will become less of a problem if bitcoin does scale haha.
