Natural disasters won't stop Internet access to Bitcoin investments

[Jet Cash]

Can it remain geostationary over night? If so does it rely on batteries?
What about high wind speeds, will they drain the batteries if there is limited solar exposure?
How strong is the cover, can it resist the debris falling from the skies these days?
What about maintenance?
Can it be shot down when the inevitable conflict kicks off?
Will it disrupt air traffic?
Will it contribute to global warming? No doubt the wokeratii, who want to restrict the internet, will claim that it does.

So this is better than Starlink. Because with Starlink, where the atmosphere is cloudy, it affects the speed while for Sceye, it's on the stratosphere which is an outer layer of the Earth and it covers better than Starlink. It is a good technology but we have to see how it is going to be first the first 5 years of its operation. It is solar powered and for sure engineers of it have already made preventive measures for things that might come to it. But then, its technology is still young but promising. I wonder how will the solar flare conspiracists will say about it.

[Jet Cash]

Solar flares aren't a conspiracy.

Solar flares aren't a conspiracy.

I'm interested to read your thoughts Jet about this aside from the questions that you've asked. I've mentioned it because that's what I've been seeing in my feed.

The valid argument you raised! The future of Bitcoin and other virtual assets is directly linked to technological advancements, particularly the availability of the internet and alternate power sources. It has been noted that the concept of a plane that provides broadband internet using solar power is quite appealing, especially during outbreaks or calamities.

With good internet and power, traders and investors will be able to be active in the market, ensuring that they do not miss out on opportunities even in hard situations. Such advancement in this area will undoubtedly enhance the usage and strength of currencies like bitcoins all over the world!

This will definitely challenge Starlink. They’re dominating in the satellite internet market, and with their massive resources, I’m sure they’ll find a way to compete. However, since this new technology isn’t live yet, it’s hard to say if it will truly be a threat to Starlink. But given its claim of offering better internet connections, even during natural disasters, this innovation could spark stronger competition in the market. Currently, Starlink charges $50 for a residential plan in our country, so it’ll be interesting to see how expensive or affordable this new technology will be in terms of subscription fees.

What are your thoughts?

I have some questions probably for the developers of this technology but maybe I will just ask it here to see how people's opinion on it are. Is it just one of these sort of tech that is needed to be hovering around or several of these kind of balloons will be needed to help people in different parts of the world at once? I believe as time goes on and as technology gets better more of this kind of technology that will be possible to assist with Internet connection even in positions of serious disaster will be developed and then the question about what the fate of Bitcoin will be if there is a collapse to the Internet due to a natural disaster will no longer be asked because we already have the answers.

I was actually going to ask close to a similar question that you asked, which is, is one or a few number of this, like let's say 10 to 20, be able to cover and provide the world with good internet connectivity and speed, or will every country of the world individually own one, or will it be something that can be owned personally like we do with starlink?

Alot of questions I have in my head, but I am guessing it's because I haven't really gone through the news article shared in the op, I will try to read that and see if I get a better understanding of what this is and how it works.

I think the price will not be competitive if what is offered is a claim of resistance to natural disasters. Starlink is currently very good and its users are increasing. but the claim is better in natural disasters are quite bold. in terms of price, I am sure it will be more expensive. because they also have to provide insurance for their users, I mean the device.
I don't know how far technology will develop in the future. currently for those who enjoy technology from the 90s until now. there have been many surprising technological advances, and in the future maybe technological advances could be even crazier.

The project is indeed a good innovation but just like what the above posted, it can easily get destroyed by hurricanes and other natural disasters that has something to do with winds and electricity. 

That thing flies at 60 00 feet, there is no wind at that attitude even in CAT5 hurricanes, and only a few record tropical storms have managed to reach that high, meaning no thunder either, besides the range of the amplifier, would be in theory close to 100 km so it could easily stay away from the storm while still providing a signal on the ground under the storm itself.

Bro I just do agree with everyone that Starlink is pretty much good right, Since Starlink is using LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite constellation so you can huge internet speed in any area on earth as long the government allowed it tho is technically can do anywhere, and There is also One web Viasat and pretty much more in the industry.

You need a dish for Starlink!
This thing acts like a cell tower so you only need a device that can usually connect to it over LTE, basically what any smartphone can do.

The project is indeed a good innovation but just like what the above posted, it can easily get destroyed by hurricanes and other natural disasters that has something to do with winds and electricity.  I do not think that there is anything that can prevent natural disasters from wrecking damages to infrastructure if the forced released by the nature is devastating enough to ruin or destroy human made objects.

I see that this is a good addition to enable humankind to enjoy the uninterrupted internet services but still I think it is to be seen if it can really withstand the forces of nature.

That's a well saying. The most relevance of this Sceye HAPS airship internet technology is basically on the benefits that it covers a wide range of providing internet access which literally it's advantage for internet users is that it serves as boosters of optimizing Internet capacities.
But it can't be undermined to we're free from internet disruption by the technology because the technology is built by human and still requires natural resources as the sun for energy sustainability which means of the temperature is not enough to conserve energies, then the system would began to loose its velocity of power sustainments.
Moreover, it can be hunted my some anti's since it's an stratosphere technology mounted in the air.

[Plaguedeath]

Of course natural disasters won't stop internet connection because natural disasters only happened in certain countries. It's hard to shutdown internet because it was designed to be decentralized, if one node shut down, the other nodes can back up.

The only way to shut down entire internet is by destroying all the satellites.

I also have some reservations. The cost of buying the Sceye HAPS airship might make it unaffordable to many. Except a community might put funds together to finance the acquisition. Which means it might not be okay for people who live in mobile homes.

This source of power might be complex to operate. You might spend time learning how to effectively use the internet airship.

I am also concerned about the maintenance. For people living in Africa, it might be expensive to bring in experts or get spare parts to fix it when it becomes faulty.

It could also attract unnecessary attention. As a new invention, your house might become a tourist site where everyone will want to view this strange object. For introverts, it wouldn't be a good experience.

Internet is not even going to be a barrier for Bitcoin users because it is global and almost every organization in this world needs internet connection before they can run efficiently. As other technology are improving, the internet providing sectors will definitely improve too and those that thinks that internet can stop Bitcoin are wrong.

I don't think that there will be ever a situation where there will be prolonged power outage or Internet outage provided we are caught in a World War etc, other than this, there are many alternative sources to get the power and internet, in case of temporary outage. Under normal circumstances, there is nothing to be worried about and the discussion may be irrelevant. In the other case of any extreme situations like War or Nuclear explosion, it may be difficult to survive a living, who would care about the internet/power at that time 

[Nwada001]

It’s definitely a new innovation, but isn’t Starlink enough since it already covers global internet, while this one focuses on local coverage? As for stability, I find Starlink very reliable --wherever I go, I’m satisfied. I just bring my power station, and I’m always connected.

Starlings is very much okay and has been given the best internet service and speed compared to other network providers, but I also don't see anything bad in having an alternative since we all know what happens when a business has less competition.
 
Even if Sceye is only focused on providing service locally, there is still a high chance of reducing demand for Starlings if their service is as good as they say, which will in turn keep the price a little bit low.

[superman22]

I also agree that Starlink is best support to get internet access specially different islands in the world. They are good because their technology is proven about client satisfaction. I have use their service in Maldives which was best for me to access online TV as internet speed was really fast into a deep sea island. This is how I am confident that bitcoin transaction will not stop even natural disaster like earth quake or cyclone. Sceye is now testing by launching test and it is possible they may bring something better than Starlink. Sceye technology would be more robust service during different natural disaster. what do you think?

Starlink is superb but I guess having another option limits our points of failure. It’s unlikely that we will have a disaster that will wipe out internet access. Something that did that across the whole world would mean big problems. Transacting in Bitcoin would be the least of our problems, all that matters then would be food & water. We will be OK though, I don’t envisage any disasters coming.

Yes, this is also what I'm thinking, I think we all do know about Starlink and the man behind this innovation, and he seems to be the a real visionary that only we can find in superheroes movies, multi-billionaire philanthropist.

But know with a new player or new innovation on the horizon, maybe we can say that the future of Bitcoin is safe with this new invention. I don't know about natural disasters though, let's just hope that none will happen in the future. As it's really hard to fight mother nature, just saying.

[Saint-loup]

I don't lnow where you live but instead of focusing on natural disaster or global pandemic it would be less self-centered to think about people living in area where there is no or very poor internet connction. Those places are most often found in poor countries where people need Bitcoin because they are unbanked. But they also exist in rich countries, especially wide ones, like Australia or Canada.

[Forever101]

In as much as natural disaster is concerned , it can affect bitcoins on a big scale even when the internet is supplied from the atmosphere.  If nothing could harm what is lunched outside the earth, what happens to people who lost their life due to natural disasters will they have access to their bitcoins anymore?. In areas where flood or fire outbreak happens, and life's and property are lost including your hardware wallet.

Even if the gadget is not on the ground , how about the control station on the ground, what if natural disaster destroy it causing various problem

The response to the poor internet connection, with star was a break through and they are leading in the market but the problem is for how long will they be able to keep up with this whole thing, and Elon did is one of his kind and I don't think anyone have this same initiative that Elon is able to do. And I love when others are in competition at least it might even affect the price when star link, and their are people that will want to go for the best so the price does not matter to them.

And the price have skyrocketed and in my country the percentage of those using it will definitely drop because of how high the price as gone. If the new technology is cheaper then the demand will go high and people will start abandoning Elon because the new technology will be cheaper and efficient than star link so this is the difference, what matters is the price.

And with how dollar have now gone high is what will discourage people the most in my country but this is like a individual decision.
