“Buy Bitcoin in Australia today” said the ad for CoinJar. That was in 2024, and the ad appealed to Maya. She certainly did buy Bitcoin. In fact, she bought a whole Bitcoin for $101,000 as she wanted to invest in her future.
Maya woke up to the gentle hum of her smart house turning on. She left her husband to sleep, and crept into the main living room so as not to wake her kids.
The holographic display flickered to life, sensing that she was up. Maya whispered for it to show her the dreamhouse she wanted to buy on Mars.
A hologram of her dreamhouse appeared. It had a breathtaking view of the red Martian landscape bathed in the soft glow of the two setting moons, Phobos and Deimos. Maya stretched, and asked for the smart house to display her total Bitcoin holdings. The hologram showed Maya’s Bitcoins now worth one million Australian dollars for the first time, so her bags were full!
Maya jumped up in delight. Her Bitcoin holdings had grown exponentially since she had first invested in 2024. Since then, the world had embraced the cryptocurrency as a global currency. And today, in 2042, Bitcoin had hit the amount that she needed to buy a house.
The value of her initial investment had skyrocketed since she first bought Bitcoin in 2024. Bitcoin's limited supply had proven to be its greatest strength. It had outlasted countless economic crises, wars, and natural disasters.
Governments and banks had to concede that it was a superior tool when compared to traditional currencies. It actually didn’t matter what the banks and governments did, people just started to use Bitcoin anyway.
At first, Bitcoin was a parallel currency. Then people just stopped using normal money altogether. Bitcoin was the last currency standing.
Today was an important day for Maya. She could purchase her dream house in Mars City, a planned metropolis carved into the Martian rock. She called her real estate agent, a holographic avatar named Alex, who immediately materialised in her living room.
"Good morning, Maya.”
Maya answered, “I would like to buy the house on Mars today.”
Alex said, "Great! This is a prime piece of real estate. A corner house with panoramic views of Olympus Mons. Prefabricated on the red planet by Tesla bots to a luxurious standard, as you saw on your virtual tour. It’s a good day to buy.”

Maya transferred a single Bitcoin to Alex. While the price of Bitcoin had risen so much in the past 20 years, Maya had bought her Bitcoin years ago in 2024. So now, today, the purchase was totally possible as the price of Bitcoin had risen so sharply. And, of course, the cost of housing in Mars City was subsidised by SpaceX, so it certainly was a good day to buy.
The Bitcoin was transferred instantly across the interplanetary network, thanks to the powerful StarLink antennas that dotted the Martian landscape.
"Congratulations, Maya!" Alex exclaimed. "You are now the proud owner of a Martian house. Is this for investment or will you live in it?”
“Thanks Alex, we will live in it. Please book a SpaceX flight for my family today."
Alex nodded, and his holographic form disappeared.
Maya sat down on her couch, thinking about how a decision years ago could have changed her life so much.
The dream that had seemed so far-fetched in 2024 was now a reality. She had taken a chance on Bitcoin, and it had paid off wildly. She was delighted with herself.
Maya's thoughts drifted back to that CoinJar ad that had sparked her initial interest. She remembered the feeling of hope when she first invested. Because she had trusted her instincts, she was now reaping the rewards.
A message flashed on her holographic display. It was from SpaceX, confirming their flight to Mars. Maya smiled, her heart filled with excitement. A new chapter in her family's life was about to begin, a chapter made possible by a single Bitcoin purchased in 2024.
As the sun began to rise in Australia, Maya knew one thing for sure: Her 2042 self was incredibly grateful for the decision she had made all those years ago.
