The greatest minds in science have yet to solve the artificial gravity conundrum. I doubt a crypto guru can do it.
The problem comes down to the size of the spinning ring. The larger the ring, the slower it needs to spin in order to provide 1g. In order to simulate 1g on a scale where the occupants would not feel the spin and be constantly nauseous, the station would need to be science fiction levels of massive. We are talking a scale at which not even a crypto guru has the money to launch that kind of material into space. Also where is all that material going to come from?
There are many videos that can be found on YouTube discussing the topic.

Isn’t that the goal with the future of space travel? That kinda solves a variety of issues with interplanetary travel

McCaleb is also known for creating the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange. This went bankrupt in 2004 owing many millions of dollars.
I’m _sure_ he’ll do a better job with actual space stations. Yeah. Sure, Jan.
