it works by making your cells require not just energy but bitcoins to function

Isnt there some stat that your body is completely new every 7 years or so? Constantly replacing, albeit with more faults with age.

Yes, using viral vectors they can insert the new genes into adult cells. Though I don't think they count on getting full coverage at this point. Sometimes the desired effect will manifest with fractional coverage.

Crucial subsidiary problem is delivery -- i.e., how do you "stably transfect" (permanently alter) DNA of cells in vivo or replace existing cells with cells already altered.

This is part of why so many CRISPR experiments are with stem cells and embryos. Get it done early and delivery problem is avoided.
