Nexus – One Currency to Disturb the Universe.
“You can’t ask people to boycott a system,” Nexus cryptocurrency founder Colin Cantrell says, “without offering something for them to use instead.”
Nexus, currency that for me, from point of investment, is quite confusing. Why? Because their creator’s ambitions are beyond many other projects and… these ambitions are making me think, will they deliver what they are planning to? If they succeed, it will be something big, something that can be called “game changer”.
Some like to call it the next generation block chain. They say it is world’s first 3D-Chain. If we were to compare bitcoin blockchain to fundaments, which all other currencies are built upon, Nexus is much wider and deeper, letting to build “building” higher, more spacious and stronger. Its 517 bit (256 for bitcoin) private keys are supposed to make Nexus much more quantum resistant than bitcoin or any other crypto currency is. As some people say, quantum computers may destroy cryptography and its freedom at some point, when get powerful enough. And 517 bit private keys are making this task a lot harder.
But all this is just the top of an iceberg when it comes to what Nexus creator, Colin Cantrell, is planning. He partnered with Vector Company and is planning to bring crypto currency into space. What does Vector do?
That is quote of their description from a website: “Vector is a disruptive innovator that connects space startups and innovators with affordable and reliable space access. Vector has a BIG vision to reshape the multi-billion launch market and combines dedicated low-cost micro satellites launch (Vector Launch) AND software defined satellites (Galactic Sky) to dramatically increase access and speed to orbit.”
Colin wants to have many little, rubiks cub size, satellites in space delivering free, decentralized internet. Nexus transactions also are supposed to be free in the future.
All this sounds a little unbelievable, but is it impossible? Taking into account, that Colin’s father is a mechanical engineer who worked for companies like Nasa, Space X and CNES, what got Colin interested in rockets and satellites, it may actually be more real that it seams. They are planning rocket launch in first quarter of 2019 with Galactic Sky satellites.
Taken from their website:
“On December 20th, 2017 PR NewsWire reports: “Vector, a nanosatellite launch company comprised of new-space and enterprise software industry veterans from SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Sea Launch and VMware, today announced a partnership with Nexus to host its decentralized cryptocurrency in space using Vector’s GalacticSky Software-Defined Satellite platform. Nexus will be the first company to deploy a cryptocurrency on a satellite orbiting the earth.”
Colin and his project has some supporters and built a community around this project. Started June 19th 2014, project is still alive and community is growing. How far will they go? Nobody knows. Can this be “next bitcoin”, sort of bitcoin 2.0? Well, at the beginning bitcoin was called, as Nexus is now, scam. But future will tell, and everybody needs to use their own judgment when choosing to invest or not to invest in this coin. I personally would like this project to succeed. Although I know, that investment in this project is long term, or even really long term.

An article in Bitcoin Magazine went on to elaborate on what Nexus aims to do in the future:
“The future of Nexus combines satellites, ground-based mesh networks, and blockchain technology to facilitate the formation of a decentralized internet,” notes the joint press release. “Nexus is building the foundation to broadcast the blockchain and Nexus Network from space,” adds the Nexus website.
January 11th, Nexus was listed on RightBTC, Duabi’s first global coin-to-coin exchange. The trading platform is Dubai’s #1 exchange with an average trade volume of $20 million per day. Those looking to acquire Nexus on the exchange can use Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH).
