Payments in the Off-World Colonies, 2121

Thanks to Be In Crypto for inviting me to put on my Futurist hat and hypothesize what payments will look like in 100 years. The theme was payments in space. Drawing on Bladerunner, The Mandalorian, and Foundation, I focused on how payments will occur in the off-world colonies. The resulting article, that will accompany an NFT, is Payments in the Off-World Colonies, 2121.

Here is an excerpt:

“It will be safe to say that in any off-world location, there will be a mixture of currencies in circulation. Some colonies or space stations may allow for multiple forms of payment.

In this case, your AI payment wallet will automatically provide a mixture of your digital currencies for payment. However, some off-world areas may require payments in one specific currency.

In this case, your wallet will have to do a conversion (probably at a cost), or you will have to communicate with a currency broker to convert your leftover Digital Disney Dollars from your visit to Moon Base Disney into CBDC Rubles when you arrive at the Russian colony on Mars, during your extended space cruise vacation.”
