Soooo, is MOON going to the MOON soon?
Could Moon actually go to the Moon? In reality? I don't see any reason not. I don't see any reason why this particular group of aligned interests shouldn't start investigating down here the issues pertaining to what it'll be like using only cryptocurrency in real lunar life up there, just like other formal research programmes. Simply re-orient the elevator pitch slightly and Moon becomes everyone's opportunity to engage in genuine, honest-to-betsy, blue-sky research preparing for the time when humankind finally manages to get to its first save point and also solves the problem of what to do with 38 billion MOON.
Unlike many other altcoins, it doesn't take much imagination to ground Moon in the existing current of related human endeavour. There is the option of hitching up to a wide variety of lunar-related scientific programs and activities, large and small, across the entire globe, validating the coin's role at the same time by lending whatever support it can to the efforts.
One immediate opportunity is obvious, researchers and engineers are almost always struggling with inadequate budget, if Moon can offer genuine economic and financial value, they'll be interested. And, with an intelligently-designed education program of some degree of appeal, Moon can offer Joe, Janet and young Joey Public an opportunity to use it as vehicle to engage lightly with the effort as a whole or more deeply in specific detail.
Things will be different living on the Moon. For a kickoff, they just
won't be using a currency with metal coins and plastic notes. And whilst some things are already nailed down by treaty (the Moon Treaty bans any state from claiming sovereignty over any territory of the Moon), no-one's made any move yet to establish a position of primacy with respect to the currency to be used on this celestial body.
We are the first generation(s) of the Space Age, we're the ones reaching out to the moon, our descendants will eventually grasp it. Only time will reveal when that will be but there's no reason why we shouldn't actually join the effort. Yeah, MOON
can go the moon.
Cheers
Graham
