Maybe 50 people, tops, have been shot into space since the white paper came out, including on suborbital flights like the Blue Origin trips, which probably don’t count. Perhaps there were Bitcoiners among them. We do know this for sure: Chun Wang is the first Bitcoin billionaire to ever enter Earth’s orbit. The F2Pool co-founder spent three and…
