A snapshot of the Bitcoin codebase is set to be encoded onto film reels and preserved under the arctic ice in Svalbard, Norway for a thousand years.
This move is part of the GitHub Archive Program, which looks to maintain open-source software, for future generations to learn about the culture of today.
