A member from the Bitcoin Brazilian Community is climbing Everest and, if he succeeds, will put a Bitcoin flag almost on the top of the Earth's highest mountain. The current news is that Allex Ferreira (the mentioned member of BR community) will arrive to the Everest Base Camp in about 4 days, where he should put the Bitcoin flag (at an altitude of ~5,000 meters).

Here is one picture: https://i.imgur.com/323Iadd.jpg

If it succeeds, Bitcoin will be (really) nearest to the Moon. Go Allex! Go Bitcoin!

I'm not very excited by the idea. They already have serious problem with all the rubbish left behind by the climbers (not to mention over 200 dead bodies).

If succeeded, the flag won't be even at the top, and, to be honest, it's not the prettiest of flags:

Bitcoin will be launched in the orbit (http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-nanosatellites-orbit-earth-2016/), and now to the mount everest,
i think people took the words "bitcoin rise"  too literally.
It would be a nice project and idea if the flag was to be put at the very top, altho even this is a risky endeavour, and many things can go wrong,
its kind of a "lame" ring to it (almost to the top), either make it to the top or dont go at all, thats the bitcoin slogan 

cheers

It would be cool if they sent tons of computers that act as nodes in the space, so even if they shut down the internet we could still have the blockchain working.

That's the scraggliest looking fugliest flag ever.  Doesn't represent Bitcoin or it's community very well at all.

I mean, I appreciate the overall gesture and idea, but the execution leaves alot to be desired even if he reaches the peak...

It really looks like something I'd wipe my ass with!
