featuring one of the funniest things that's happened in crypto in a while
BitMEX has been working on a PR stunt in which they would "send bitcoin to the moon" by loading a coin engraved with the private key to a crypto wallet containing 1 bitcoin onboard the Peregrine-1 moon lander, where it would then be placed on the surface of the moon for the some future enterprising moon explorer to collect.9 However, due to a fuel leak, the moon lander and its bitcoin cargo are stuck somewhere in space with "no chance" of making it to the moon.10 Poetic.
