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.
