The First Person to Fly by Mars Will Be a Bitcoin Miner

The first person to conduct a flyby of Mars will be a Bitcoin miner. In 2026, Wang Chun, co-founder of the F2Pool mining pool, announced from Bouvet Island that he would command a SpaceX Starship on humanity's first crewed interplanetary mission to Mars. His journey began in childhood, fascinated by blank spaces on maps and later by programming and systematic record-keeping. After discovering Bitcoin in 2011, he co-founded F2Pool, which grew to mine over 1.3 million BTC. His wealth from mining and his later PoS venture, stake.fish, funded his ambitions. After traveling to Earth's poles, he conceived and funded a private SpaceX mission, Fram2, achieving the first crewed polar orbit in 2025. Now, he plans a two-year Starship mission to fly by Mars, representing a shift where private individuals, empowered by new wealth like cryptocurrency, can personally define and fund humanity's next frontiers in space.
