“Once upon a time human transactions were underpinned by exchange of cows, camels, goats and cowrie shells. Then came metal coins. A gold standard reigned until just half a century ago. It was only in this millennium that credit card penetration achieved depth in India. Change is the only constant on earth.  Now we are set for journeys to Mars. As we prepare to work and live in space, we wonder how we will conduct transactions up there. Not in rupees and dollars, surely? So when downloading our first bitcoin, we should take heart from Spock’s advice — For everything, there is a first time. Beam me up, Scotty — beam me up right there.”
