One of the hurdles plaguing Bitcoin adoption in emerging countries is the fact you need an active internet connection to send and receive digital currency. Certain countries offer some form of Internet connectivity to locals at high prices, making it less appealing to use Bitcoin. But if SpaceX has a say in the matter, their satellites will be providing internet access all over the world.

I assume they will still be able to get it blocked and it won't just be an open network like the free wifi.
But this definitely has the possibility of giving bitcoin a massive boost.
