2/3 Cost to mine gold in space might be high today but will decrease over time.
Why does it matter if we store the space gold in space until it's purchased for use in jewelry, electronics, etc?
There will be 2 prices for gold: on-world and off-world (delivery fee/time).

What if aliens show up with their own bitcoin from a network that gets mined by Dyson Sphere ASICs?

Totally fine if they show up with their own currency -- we can figure out an exchange rate. At least they won't be able to flood the market with a commodity money indistinguishable from our own, destroying our savings.
