Legendary astronaut got his 1st bitcoins straight from space

The famous Canadian astronaut and fan of blockchain technology Chris Hadfield became the owner of the first bitcoins in his life, symbolically receiving them from a space satellite located 35,000 km from Earth.

The event was broadcast during the Asia Blockchain Summit 2020 held last week. The $100 BTC transaction was handled by Pixelmatic CEO and Director of Strategic Development at Blockstream Samson Mow.
